Another longstanding Thewet guesthouse run by the same family who own Tavee, Shanti and Sawatdee, (older brother, sister, younger brother respectively) this one has recently been done up and is certainly looking very nice these days. Wood panelling and wooden floors and plenty of plants in the café area make it cosy, comfortable and welcoming. Management might be grammatically challenged but staff is friendly enough and food is ok at ok prices. Again location is good, short walk to express boat pier, close to the lively Thewet Market and a 15 minute walk or 5 minute bus ride to Khao San Road. Rooms are clean and simple but comfortable with a choice of smaller ones (quite small) and larger ones for a few more baht. All rooms we could find were now en-suite but there may still be some shared bathroom ones tucked away somewhere? Note Sri Ayuthaya is in fact run by the same Mr Tavee of Tavee Guesthouse fame situated immediately behind this guesthouse so if you can’t find what you’re looking for here try Tavee GH.

Lovely - 17th March, 2007
The most ''budget'' accommadation of our trip, but really really enjoyable. Not fancy but everything you need. Rooms are small though. Great area of Bangkok

A good place to book in advance - 10th July, 2009
We paid 550 Baht/night for a double room with private bathroom and fan. The rooms were cute with a lot of character in the guest house (wood carvings in the wall). We were on the top floor. In comparison to the place we stayed in Bangkok for our first night of our trip (Lamphu Guest House) this place was way better. The neighbourhood was much quieter than the busy Ko San Rd. area. It is located within a 10 minute walk to the Thewet pier where you can catch the express ferry (orange or yellow flag) down the river to major sights like the Grand Palace (pier 9) and the Central Pier where you can make an easy connection to the skytrain station. The staff at the guest house were not what I would term friendly. They did however check us in to a room at 2:30 in the morning (low season) without a hitch. I think some guest houses, like this one, recommended by the lonely planet establish a bit of an attitude as they know they are able to find someone else to fill a room. There are toooooons of guest houses every where you go and in my the people were more pleasant at those not in the lonely planet. I would give this place a 6 out of 10. We would stay here again and book it as our first place in Bangkok after flying in, but perhaps would find a different place for later in the trip. After having rooms with cockroaches, geckos, ants and even a snake, a room at this guest house was much appreciated. We paid 600Baht at Lamphu Guest House, with AC mind you, only a month before but this guest house was much better. After a while a fan is enough to keep you cool. 8 for facilities because there was no internet (although easy to find) and the hot water didn't work one evening...it was a quick fix however.
