Rikka Inn

For backpackers with a bit of cash

What we say:

Rikka Inn's rooms are more than reasonable for the money — all are air-con and they're not too small in size with a touch more snazz than your typical Khao San Road guesthouse. Hot water bathrooms are clean and well maintained, but some are particularly compact. What greatly improves the value at Rikka Inn is the roof top swimming pool which catches the full fury of Bangkok's midday sun — tanners and lobster wannabes will be more than satisfied. Sticking with the pool, as with most Khao San Road swimming pools, you'll need to get up top very early to grab a recliner. Back at ground level, the location, smack bang on Khao San Road (right beside Buddy Lodge) combined with the relative young age of the property make this a far better value deal than the long-running and very well-aged D&D. On the downside, the location means a lot of racket — light sleepers will need industrial ear plugs. We'd be wary about leaving too many valuables in the room as we were given keys to an occupied room and told to go take a look without a staff member — not great security. Recommended for backpackers with a bit of cash looking to stay right on Khao San Road.

Good for newbies

Stayed here for four nights in one of the standard rooms. It was a good place for our first time in Bangkok, right on Khao San Road. The room was small but enough space for bags and so on and was surprisingly quiet for its location. The rooftop pool is a great place to relax for a sundowner, although you have to be quick as they shut it at 6pm. Our only complaint was that they didn't service our room the whole time we were there although the hotel in general is really clean. Also there are no real services, restaurant, laundry etc but you can find these really close by anyway. Good place to stay if you like being in the centre of all the action!

Best On Khaosan Road, Best Value!!!

Rikka Inn located on the central of Khaosan Road.They has a very attractive outdoor pool on the roof. The room is very nice and well-maintain. Bathroom is in the room and it has hot shower. The Standard room has small fridge and electronic safety box. They give you two bottles of free drinking water everyday. Nice and friendly staffs. Worth every penny paid.

Probably the Best on Khao San Road

We stayed ther for 3 nights at the end of our trip and we just loved Rikka Inn. The room was spotless, Staffs were friendly and very helpful all the time we stayed. The hotel itself located in the superb location just right on Khaosan road. Shopping, restaurants, night club, tour agency ,etc...were just at your doorstep. Definitely going back there and highly recommended.

Fantastic

Came here several times in July 09 and thouroughly enjoyed all my stays. Great rooms - clean, very quiet, comfortable with good showers and powerful aircon. Pool is great and reception staff is very friendly. Location is also great. Among our group of 5 travellers the rikka inn was loved by all. While possibly a little more pricey than some of the alternatives, the few baht more are definately worth it!

Very clean & modern

This place is good value and is bang in the middle of Khao San road. The rooms are modern with good bathrooms. No wifi unfortunately but there is a internet cafe near the lobby. Staff are friendly and helpful. We didn't have a problem with noise but we specifically asked for a room well off the street. There is a no refund policy and so we had to pay in advance one night at a time rather than at the end of the 4 night period in case our plans changed.
