Description
Lamphu House opened in early 2005 and had spotless rooms with equally clean bathrooms in a multi-storey building. There is a spacious and quiet garden area out front with some comfortable furniture to relax in. The staff are very friendly and English-speaking -- if they maintained the rooms well this will remain an equal to Rambuttri Village Inn which is almost next door. Unfortunately, they do not allow prospective guests to examine the rooms, so it might be a safer bet to check out Rambutri Village first, where you might pay a little more but you do get a pool.

Wonderful -

I really loved staying here, not only because it's one of the nicest on Soi Rambuttri -- clean, spacious and with a great atmosphere -- but because it has such a sweet Thai touch with its modern Southeast Asian decor and lovely staff. Soi Rambuttri has a chilled out vibe to it in comparison with Khao San, but is still relatively well located. Ask for a room with a balcony if you can. These rooms are usually a bit bigger and have a nicer aspect. Rooms are quiet, as they're off the main street. If you want a massage, skip the expensive in-room massage and grab one at the hairdresser's located at the entrance of Lamphu House -- far cheaper and just as good! Lamphu House almost always seems to be completely booked out. They do keep reservations so book early and in advance!

Great value! -

This is a very clean and quiet guesthouse with beautiful, asian furniture and great atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The only problem is that it's fully booked most of the time, so try to make reservations at least one month in advance, if possible. For me the best guesthouse in Khaosan area...

SO Cute!! -

I loved this place. The decor was so cute, the staff were very sweet and the lobby area is really nice with internet, a pay phone, lots of seating and a nice garden area. We paid 680B for a double with A/C and a balcony. The balcony even had a drying rack!! How thoughtful. Well kept and our room was quiet and clean. I highly recommend this hotel, a little haven from the madness.
Haven from Koh San - 
By Katie1985 ( total comments: 5 ) Stayed here 12/2007
We really enjoyed our stay at Lamphu. The room was clean and spaciouse with a large bed. It was the perfect place to get away from the hectic streets and relax with a mango shake. The staff were friendly and helpful although DO NOT book a bus from the tour desk to Chiang Mia as the bus service is terrible. Do book in advance as we tried to book for 1 night on a return however no rooms were available.
Book Early - No rating given

I sent a reservation request to Lamphu 23 days before my intended stay but they were full. Book well in advance!
Perfection. -

The staff are friendly, the rooms are clean, the food is good and the internet is cheap and fast. They hold a very friendly environment and filter out all the unkind, and strange people in the area. If you come to Khao Sarn, you will be silly not to stay here, but be sure to book ahead, as they are always full.
Great place!!!! -

We stayed 1 week at Lamphuhouse. Staff is really friendly, rooms are clean and the food is excellent. All that for a good price!!!
Reasonably Priced -
By pythagnz ( total comments: 12 ) Stayed here 5/2007
This place was clean, reasonably priced and the staff were friendly. The balconies are of the rare kind in Bangkok where you can actually sit outside. A bonus was the clothes rack strategically located in front of the aircon outlet for minimal drying time. The location of this guesthouse is great as it is close to many sights and eating places and there are plenty of transport options. However, it is a cut above other places with its secluded location and semi-garden. Even in May it pays to book in advance.
Best of my stay in LOS -

This is a simple, quiet and tastefully decorated place just off Rambuttri. Staff are friendly and helpful, rooms are clean, spacious and great value for money. The best value hotel I have stayed in Thailand.
Best Place in Banglamphu -
By jldm ( total comments: 3 ) Stayed here 7/2006
Lamphu House was the first place I stayed in Thailand and it was fantastic. It was cheap, clean and the perfect location. Close to the action but quiet all the same. We stayed here every time we were in Bangkok over the months we were there. Definitely stay here. Book ahead though, it's not easy to get a room.
Superb Value! -
By tokyobelle ( total comments: 2 ) Stayed here 7/2006
Stayed here our first night in BKK and found it excellent value for the money. While I would never call the staff friendly, neither were they rude-just indifferent. We had one of their 'deluxe' twin rooms w/ ac and don't let the 'deluxe' moniker fool you. This was a very basic room, but very clean, well cared for and comfortable. At B600, it's a steal. Reservations are highly recommended however, we tried to make reservations on our return to BKK at the end of our trip a week in advance and got no joy. They offered to put us on a waiting list, but I hated the thought of potentially dragging my stuff around with no room and we settled for Rambuttri just next door, which was disappointing compared to this place. If you're looking for luxury, it's not the place for you, but if you want basic comfort and a clean place to rest your head, it's tremendous.
The Only Place to Stay in Banglamphu -
By mollyandjason ( total comments: 14 ) Stayed here 2/2006
This place caters more to families and those who want to find that impossible to find 'quiet' in Bangkok. It is the ONLY place we stay when in Bangkok. It's super busy, though, so it is essential to plan ahead and get a reservation well in advance. No one ever just walks in to this place and gets a room...
Great -
By michoui ( total comments: 6 ) Stayed here 1/2006
We only wanted one night before going back home so we booked here a twin with fan and private bathroom (with hot water!) for 420B in January 2006. It was perfect! Beds confortable, very clean room, get to watch movies that you choose!
A haven in Bangalamphu -

Rambuttri Village Inn
95 Soi Rambutri, Bangkok
This mid-sized hotel has very clean and well-maintained rooms, making it a good choice for this price range in the Banglamphu area. Set at the rear of a small shopping village, there is a pleasant pool and a few places to eat, but someone really needs to chase the irritating tailors away! Rambuttri... more
Wild Orchid Villa
8 Soi Chana Songkhram
Wild Orchid Villa has very good air-con doubles worth the slightly higher prices. This is a very popular guesthouse and is often full -- luckily a few other new places have opened nearby. The terrace restaurant is also quite good value. On the downside, this guesthouse has a very hostile anti-Thai... more
Bella Bella House
74 Soi Chana Songkhram
Bella Bella doesn't have the most exciting rooms in town, but they are very clean and well looked after. The bathrooms are particularly spotless. There are five floors of rooms but no elevator, so opt for a lower floor if you are unfit, but take the higher floors if you want a breeze and a view of... more
Baan Sabai
12 Soi Rongmai, Bangkok
Baan Sabai features a good restaurant and bar area. The rooms are plain with no furnishings other than beds in most rooms. The shared bathroom and toilet facilities are very clean. It's reasonably priced for the area, but not the best value. Even if you don't stay here, the shady bar area is a good... more
New My House Guest House
37 Soi Chanasongkhram, Bangkok
This place has clean rooms at reasonable prices and is centrally located on Rambutri Road. New My House Guest House features a great sitting area downstairs with Thai cushions and a large TV screen for their popular nightly movies. Staff is a bit indifferent to guests, but the rooms are clean,... more
Apple 2 Guest House
11 Soi Trok Kai Chaee off Phra Sumen Rd, Bangkok
This tucked away spot has reasonable rooms for their price all stuck in a little wooden house. Ordering food and eating in the downstairs of the house feels like eating in someone's home, which is basically what you are doing; the homey atmosphere is a nice change in comparison to some of the big... more
New Siam Guest House
21 Soi Chanasongkhram
This place is reasonably priced and has good, pretty clean rooms with friendly staff, though some of the rooms and bathrooms are a bit grotty and musty. Rooms with windows provide extra light, ventilation, and modest views, and are worth the extra baht. This has the same owner as the New Siam II... more
New Merry V Guest House
18-20 Phra Athit Road
New Merry V is spotlessly clean, right down to its share bathrooms. It's also very conveniently located for the Chao Phraya River Express ferries and for the strip of excellent bars and restaurants on Phra Athit Rd. There are 14 different styles of rooms to select from in the older front building... more
Peachy Guest House
10 Phra Athit Road
Peachy is a good budget choice and is well-located near Khao San Rd and the Chao Phraya River Express ferries. The enormous guesthouse was a boarding school many decades ago and still has the feeling of such. Beautiful hardwood floors are a plus, mattresses from decades ago a minus. Moonshine Bar... more
Sawasdee Krungthep Inn
30 Soi Rongmai off Soi Rambutri
Another of the Sawasdee chain of hotels and guesthouses, all the rooms here have private bathroom and cable TV. Standard rooms are mouldy smelling and have tiny, yet clean baths (the sink is actually in the bedroom!) Superior rooms have slat windows that provide a little extra air, newer... more
Thara House
100-100/1 Phra Athit Rd
The former Four Sons House (which moved a few doors down) now advertises itself as Comfortable and Friendly. Well, it doesn't appear uncomfortable or unfriendly, but seems to be a relatively non-descript budget hotel. Although it's under new management, a fresh coat of cream paint and peach trim... more
Four Sons Village
54/1 Soi Chanasongkhram
This used to be Chart Guesthouse but has rebranded under the Four Sons brand. The rooms are ok size and many of the rooms have large TVs hanging off the ceiling above the foot of the bed -- be careful not to whack your head. There are two choices of rooms -- the cheaper ones at the rear or the ones... more
Merry V Guest House
33 Chana Songkram, Bangkok
This very popular place represents quite good value, with basic but clean rooms with share bathrooms and larger rooms with air-con and private bathrooms. Just around the corner from the bend on Rambutri, it has an ideal location for those who want a social atmosphere, but still be on a quiet soi.... more
K.C. Guest House
64 Trok Kai Chae, Phra Sumen Rd, Bangkok
K.C. has good clean rooms that are surprisingly quiet given the racket that goes on just outside. They're a bit aging, with clean but slightly worn bedding, but large windows brighten what would otherwise be depressingly boring, undecorated hotel rooms. Standard Thai and western food is available... more
Happy House
46 Soi Chana Songkhram, Phra Athit Rd, Banglamphu
One of the newer backpacker lodges on Soi Chanasongkhram, Happy House is between Wild Orchid Villa and Phra Athit Rd and has stock standard small concrete rooms with clean bathrooms and reasonable beds. The linen was clean when we checked but this place is very new. Downstairs there is a popular... more
