Mango Lagoon opened in early 2004 and represents good value for the area. The five-storey building is more of a hotel than a guesthouse and has clean, but somewhat musty rooms, some of which have good views of the surrounds through large picture windows. Throw open the door and windows and a nice breeze should accompany your view. A street side restaurant/bar with fountains and a mosquito-filled tropical garden is pleasant enough, and the location across from Wat Chana Songkhram is quieter than some others in the neighbourhood. Mango Lagoon is a friendly and professionally run spot and if it is in your budget, it's a fine choice. Suites and standard rooms are virtually indistinguishable in size and facilities, so the suites are not worth the extra charge.

Mango Lagoon Place reviews

Read 5 opinions from Travelfish readers

Nice Room for Cheap - 19th December, 2008
This place was very clean and affordable. Just a block north of Kho San there is a great little block that is much more quiet yet still has a lot of good things to offer. Just 50 baht more then its neighbors, it blows other mid-range places in the area away in terms of what you get for the money, with a TV, great AC, big clean bathroom and a very comfy bed. The only thing is disliked was the rule of paying everyday before checkout, even if you're staying for a week. The staff all seem to be very young and don't seem to care about pleasing the customers but we've hit that at quite a few places on this trip.

I stay there every time - 27th August, 2008
I have stayed at Mango Lagoon many times over the past several years. Great location near the Khao San Road activity but just far enough out of the way to get some peace and quiet. Decent-sized clean and quiet rooms, tv, hot shower, good beds, nice staff, good restaurant out front and very close to food stalls, 7/eleven out front (ok this was not the best addition) and the Phra Attit ferry pier is conveniently accessible via a nearby lane. Only thing I would add is a fridge in the room.

Worth going to - 14th August, 2007
Fine. Had an A/C room. Air conditioner a bit gentle but not too bad. Rooms clean, bathrooms clean as well. Staff helpful. Not near anything too noisy either Would recommend

Nice - 27th March, 2005
I'd say the rooms are more sterile than clean, but considering you're in a backpacker's ghetto, I'd say this is a good pick. Only a few blocks away from Khao San Road, but much quieter.
