Description
Hotel-like accommodation at guesthouse prices makes New Siam II an outstanding choice. The swimming pool, with a 200B per day charge for non-guests, is a treat, while all rooms have electronic key cards and security boxes. The rooms themselves are immaculate and well decorated. This place, while slightly more expensive than New Siam Guest House, is a far superior property in a slightly quieter section of the same neighbourhood. Helpful and professional staff and a restaurant with an enormous refrigerator filled with every possible beverage. If the hotel lacks anything it's rooms with better views. Recommended.

Overpriced, tiny bathrooms -

800B for a tiny bathroom and just okay room. Worth 500B only. Wouldn't stay again.

We stayed there in February 2008. We paid 890 batt for double. The room was really clean. The swimming pool was cool and very pleasant in that heat. The staff was very friendly. They even let us use the swimming pool free after check out and they store our luggage free too. The place was quiet enough to have good sleep. We can recomend it to everybody

good value, but the beds: you can't sleep in the double beds without having a bad nweck the other morning
Just what you need -

New Siam II is great any time but it is PERFECT for when you come off a long flight and are jetlagged. I checked in within minutes and used the lift with my baggage and collapsed on a huge bed. As other people have listed the facilities, I won't bother, but having the safe in the room is handy and fits alot of stuff i.e 2 large cameras and lenses. This is the 3rd time I have stayed here and that says something itself. Food on the premises is good, travel agent for visas and tours helpful and the staff at reception always have a smiling face if you are smiling at them (I have witnessed a few grumpy people ask questions and not even said thank you !) Will be staying here in January when I return from Cambodia, it's becoming my Bangkok home !!

Take from the new airport the AE bus nr 2 (150Baht p.p). This bus brings you to Prha Athit road. Than you walk 200 meter to new siam 2. The rooms are nice and clean. Before taking a room listen to the aircon. Sometimes they make a lot of noise.From New siam it is only 5 minutes walking to the pier for the river express boats.The food is good and there is a nice swimmingpool. New siam is located in a small soi and it is not noicy.
Made for a great stay. -

The online map in Thai writing was a great help & made for an easy trip from the airport. Staff were friendly & helpful. The rooms were spotless. Food was good but pricier than nearby options. Our favourite was the lovely pool... a real treat in the scorching heat! Overall a great option.
basic & does the job! -

Stayed here as first stop on round the world trip, so worth the extra money for decent room, air con, pool to cool off. Safe very useful too. Chose to stay elsewhere on return to Bangkok though.
Awesome milkshakes! -
By wearetherobot ( total comments: 4 ) Stayed here 2/2007
We stayed here for a few nights enroute to Cambodia. The room was very clean, nice bathroom (but weak shower pressure!!), nice to have an in-room safe. Quiet, considering it is SO close to Khao San road! Their food is really good...they make great green Thai curry, and seriously, they have the BEST and most delicious banana, mango, coconut milkshakes we have EVER had. Without a doubt, you should not miss out on having one. Easy access from there to the river to take the river taxi, you can walk down the river to the Royal Palace...
I've stayed at other places in Bangkok, and this one was my favorite. Not only because it is a little more pricey than what most of the 'party kids' wanna spend, so you don't have the ubiquitous stoners, also, no outside guests allowed into the rooms, so no prostitutes around either.
great value, clean rooms -
By flightgirl ( total comments: 6 ) Stayed here 2/2007
we stayed here a couple times on our vacation. The rooms are super clean, nice aircon and the showers even had a shower curtain. The safes in the room were a nice bonus,and the food in the restaurant was great,but it does lack atmosphere. The staff was the nicest of all we met in thailand and cambodia. They have it all....
Top location, great value -

We picked the New Siam II because of the recommendation on this page and found it a real treat. Close enough to Khao San Road to enjoy the party there and walk back home, but far enough away to sleep in peace. The fans are big ceiling ones, very useful, so we hardly used the air-con when we had the air-con room.
Both types of rooms, air-con and fan, were equal in size and quality. The little balcony is good for drying clothes and it's nice to leave the window open at night (it's quiet enough for that). Friendly staff, a nice pool and pool area (though a little crammed) in a very quiet Soi. Good to live so close to the river and river taxi pier, plus the decent restaurants on Phra Athit (at least better than Khao San Road). We never had to pay for leaving luggage for a day and the pool was free even on the days of our departure, so we could relax a little and shower before getting on a night bus. Very safe also, the looked very closely at the folk stumbling in at night.
Not perfect, but for Bangkok in this location, it's great!
Great spot -

Great location which is close to the river. We paid 850B for a room. Very clean, big bed, very good air-con (necessary) TV, room safe and clean bathroom. Staff were great. We were impressed enough that we stayed there again on our way home.
Hands down my favorite place in Bangkok -

Cosmetically, there is nothing spectacular about New Siam Guesthouse II but it's the service and the relationships that you build with the staff that win you over. I stayed here last month, four separate times over a span of three weeks. The rooms are nothing spectacular. Basic bed, sheets and private bathroom. Everything was clean for the most part! The rooms even come with an electronic safe which definitely was a plus. All rooms are opened by an electronic key card also. The downstairs restaurant is really good and cheap; however, the thing that I loved most about my stay here was the staff. They were all really sweet and welcomed me from minute one. I will be coming back when I visit again.
Good enough -

The location is very quiet, which is nice. The room was ok, clean but nothing special (the view over the next building which was falling apart wasn't the best!) Didn't even try the swimming pool, just seemed a bit silly, but it could be nice. The food was not bad and cheap. If you want to stay near the Khao San Road, this place is definitely worth spending a bit more on.
Not bad at all! -

Well worth the money, large clean rooms in good location. Would stay again
OK -
By jen120978 ( total comments: 2 ) Stayed here 1/2006
But not great. Pool was nice. The room smelled pretty bad of stale smoke even though they are technically non-smoking. (Then why serve ash trays?!) Bathroom was missing a ceiling tile which was a bit sketchy. Food was pretty good and a nice value.
Luxury Bargain -
By mattyvlem ( total comments: 10 ) Stayed here 11/2005
This place is great -- big rooms with TV, safe and huge bed. Staff are helpful and menu extensive. Had no problem or charge when booking a room over the phone. Good location 5 minutes walk from the Khao San Road. 790B for an air-con double but still a bargain -- best place I have stayed in Bangkok.
Always booked, but... -

They're overdrawing with reservations!! To be fair -- the place is really good for staying for some days, very clean and well organised. But reservations can only be done with a credit card -- for this service, they charge 100B + 3% extra...
Clean and efficient -
By CunningMcFar ( total comments: 32 ) Stayed here 3/2005
Excellent, attentive service, spotless rooms, satisfying food, and a cool little pool, on a very quiet soi well away from the madness that is Khao San Rd -- a great place for families
Fine, but better available. -

Very convenient location near Khao San Road (if that appeals!) and student eating places on Phra Athit Rd, this place is OK, but not anything to write home about, though the prices above don't reflect what we paid: 495THB for double room with air-con, fan and shower, though the advertised hot water never arrived and the cold was little more than a drizzle. Not sure how to compare, but it was the least good value and grubbiest of any place we stayed in Laos and Thailand over three weeks and six stops.
