New Joe Guesthouse

decent for khao san road - 9th November, 2009
Stayed here a few days. 350 baht/night for a double bed with fan. The room was pretty low quality, and the restaurant was a little more pricey than other eating options in the area, but not bad because of its size. It is not located directly on Khao San so that helps with noise, but I'm sure there are better options out there with those who have the interest to look around. Maybe book one night or two, then look around for a better deal and room. We used the laundry service which was efficient, and the security was of good quality.

good location, clean and simple - 26th August, 2009
This was the first place we tried in Bangkok and turned out to be very good. Two double rooms at 350 B per room per night. Good security as they kept our room keys and didn't just hand them out to anyone - you had to have a card to prove it was your room. Clean bathroom and a balcony, even though the view wasn't great. Would stay there again.

cheap and good - 2nd July, 2009
I stayed there in sgl fan private b'room (300 baht/day). Room clean and quite OK (for that price) :). Reale close to KSR. I had a room on 4th floor and my window was with the view on Ratchadamnoen Klang, and at night it was noisy from there. Very good option for that price. Very good restaurant with excellent thai food. Free deposit boxes (you need to have your own padlock)

Good spot - 12th December, 2008
Nice place to stay, rooms are clean and quite nice. All have private bathrooms with cold water and a tiny balcony. Quiet, though close to Kao San. Food in the restaurant is quite good and there's a bar to hang out and meet other guests. But: staff in the restaurant is not so friendly and they seem to rather not work/serve. So if that annoys you, just don't eat there.

Excellent Value - 7th September, 2008
New Joe is very basic - as in you pick up your towel and air-con remote from the reception when you check in - but for the price, who can complain? Room rates slightly different from above on my visit, but they are nice and simple - 350 THB per night for a fan room with cold water bathroom...same price whether you want single or double, which seems a good idea. I went back 3 or 4 times during my 3 month trip to Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia - using it as a base each time I returned to BKK. I stayed in fan rooms the whole time except for my last night, when I plumped for the luxury of an air-con hot water room, still only 500 THB. Rooms are clean enough and toilet paper is provided, as are mosquito screens on the window and door. Bathroom is accessible from inside the room rather than having to cross the balcony as in some places - though the balconies here are very small, and there is little in the way of a view; they also house some sort of heater machine which makes it unbearably hot out there, even more so than if you're out on the street. Sink is in the room. Rooms are cleaned on request; you have to leave your key at reception every time you leave, and if you want your room serviced just ask the receptionist when you leave in the morning. The staff are very very friendly, really helpful with questions about bus times to other provinces etc - also got very excited because I was visiting Suphanburi, where the receptionist was from. Helpful travel agent in the lobby, very useful (and cheap!) for flight changes etc. Cheap laundry service available, and luggage can be left for 8 THB per day for guests (10 THB for non-guests). Nice restaurant outside, good food at reasonable prices. Very close to Khaosan Road but far away enough to be quiet - don't let their description of it being down an alley put you off, as it's more of a mini-road (but no cars, just motorbikes and pedestrians) with coffee shops, internet cafes, spa salons etc). The place could do with some redecoration and a bit of work doing to it (the lift doesn't work, for example, so it's a couple of flights of stairs to your room) but for the price you just can't beat it. Beware, there's no TV in the room - if that bothers you (it didn't me, and anyway most hotel TVs are all Thai!) Would definitely recommend this place for a non-fussy budget traveller, and I love the fact that they remember me even after just a few visits!
