What we say:

Tavee is situated down the soi, behind Sri Ayuttaya Guest House. The rooms go for a more traditional, wooden panel look which some might find a little gloomy, but the rooms are clean and adequately sized. Tucked away at the the bottom of the soi, it should feel a lot more cosy than it does but it has to be said there's something of a bad-tempered atmosphere. The walls are covered in notes detailing what you can and can't do, and the staff seemed irritable. Otherwise, good value for money in a pleasant area about a 20 minute walk away from Khao San.

Best place to avoid the crowds

Tavee is still my favorite place to avoid the crowds of Khao San Rd and being budget-conscious at the same time. The description is a bit off the mark - agreed that Tavee is an ancient Thai House but I didn't find more than one staircase and two corridors ! Note that the fan rooms (2nd floor) can be a bit noisy because of the open ventilation. In the night it's very quiet though because the house is at the end of a soi. The air-con rooms are on the first floor, some of them are close to the common bathroom areas but that part of the house isn't as nice as the wooden floor to be honest. All was kept very clean, Tavee's owner is a bit of a personality (expect some Thai to be spoken) but very professional all in all. Very close from places of interest using the bus (direct nÂ°53 to Wat Pho, many buses to Sanam Luang and KSR area) or river taxi (pier 15 - Thewet), also has two nice restaurants at short walk distance (Karoeng's home kitchen, which is at the end of the soi, and In Love, which is close to pier 15). For starters, some information in English is available and free WiFi was also included.

LOUD

Don't expect to get any sleep here. Otherwise, definitely friendly service is found and I agree with wix, it feels like homebase!

A great spot

This is like a little oasis and a relief from the hectic pace of Bangkok life. It has a very homely atmosphere and is very clean. Excellent quality budget accommodation.
