Description
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 at the front that have their own balconies. A note on the rooms with balconies, be sure to keep your veranda door locked as it is easy to climb from one to another. There is a large, good restaurant downstairs that plays movies regularly. The staff are friendly, if a little clueless.

One of the best options in Khao San area -

In our opinion, Four Sons is one of the best options in the Khao San area. Good value, with air-con, TV, hot shower. Lots of rooms come with nice balcony, but this side of the building is a little bit noisy. Rooms are very clean. The staff are friendly. Sometimes they have good promotions (150B discount for the twin room with balcony). Location is very good, close to Khao San Road and Chao Phraya Express boat. They have a good kitchen, but a little bit pricey (except beers).

Good value - 
By mrsdbooth ( total comments: 4 ) Stayed here 12/2007
Stayed in double with air-con, private bathroom, in January 2008. Rooms are characterless but large enough to open a suitcase in, and seem to be kept clean. The bathrooms have windows that open onto the corridor, for those who really like to share. The shower is hot but pressure is low. No-frills accomodation, but better value than many in the area.
Nothing to shout about -

I paid 500B for a double room with balcony (air-con and hot shower) at Four Sons. Rooms are clean, facilities good, location is quiet. However, staff are not so friendly (bottomline friendliness), no lift (if you stay on the 4th or 5th floor, you must have a strong legs) and you must pay a 500B deposit upfront (refunded when you check out).
Good location -

We moved to this one after spending a night on Khao San. Still only a short walk to all the action if you want to party, but none of the noise if you are suffering from said partying. Staff are very helpful, but this is a busy place so if you want one-on-one attention this isn't the one for you. We left our laptop at the desk every day and it was returned to us every night safe and sound. Also close to Gecko Bar, which has the cheapest beer in town.

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
Lamphu House
75-77 Rambuttri Rd, Bangkok
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... 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
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
