What we say: 4.5 stars

As the super-friendly staffer led us through this amazing little hideaway we uttered one wow after another, through the entire visit. The building was originally just another cheap clapped-out Thai hotel/motel and what a revitalisation it has had. Dreary scuffed concrete walls have been reinvigorated by brightly coloured murals throughout. Linens are bright and soft with hidden away flashes of colour throughout — this is the kind of place you want to look at as many rooms as possible — they're all very different (in style and art, not in size) — so it's worth seeking out the one that suits you just right. All rooms have private bathrooms — private hand-made bathrooms — something we've never encountered before. Beds are firm and other facilities include CD players and in-room free WiFi. Downstairs includes a large garden area, massage sala and a restaurant/cafe, while up on the roof there is rooftop seating, views of Wat Indraviharn, and an organic vegetable garden! If for some reason you're not enticed by their excellent restaurant there's loads of excellent Thai eating a short walk away on Krung Kasem Rd. The guesthouse is about a twenty minute walk from Khao San and, it is worth noting, it's not all that easy to find and could do with a little more sign-posting. Rates are higher than you may expect, but once you stay here, you'll never stay anywhere else in Bangkok again. Highly recommended and very family friendly.
