• Great!

  Impressive, tasteful. Great location PROS: - Classy decor for somewhere so close to Khao Sahn Road - a KSR flea-pit this isn't, with good sized rooms and all mod cons. - Great location near river, locally frequented bars, cafes and noodle joints as well as backpacker haunts. - Well organised and friendly Thai welcome. - Nice views from the city and riverside rooms and not bad from the corner rooms either. CONS: - Tastefully decorated but it has to be said the standard of workmanship looked a bit rough in places. Otherwise the rooms are already getting a little worn (towel rail starting to come off the wall, a few cracked floor tiles, furniture has taken a few knocks, etc). Not a biggie however and more than made up for by the overall standard, but would probably reduce the overall rating. - Hard to avoid a small degree of street/river noise coming in to your rooms, but nothing excessive....and this is Bangkok afterall. - The downstairs restaurant charges fairly typical rates for food in this standard of hotel (i.e overpriced), although the quality is good. Overall a breath of fresh Chao Praya air in Banglamphu. Worth it? Most definitely, but probably not as a single. Could possibly be priced a little more competitively (a similar hotel in Sukhumvit would be cheaper but wouldn't be in such a pleasant area) but given that they seem to be running at near full occupancy even in the low season there clearly is demand. Would thoroughly recommend.
