Rambuttri Village

perfect for me - 4th November, 2008
I stayed there 3 years. Every time I'm in Bangkok. I don;'t understand why everybody say staff are rude. They aklways are very nice to me. They cean my room every day. Just leave your keys at the reception. Before I stayed in the super single room. Last year I chose the deluxe double. It costs 950 Baht, has a balcony (small), a fridge and bvig screen tv. I will go back this year.

WORST STAFF EVER - 1st October, 2008
IF YOU WANT TO STAY IN A HOTEL NEAR THE KHAO SAN ROAD, SEARCH FOR ANOTHER ONE-THE PRICE IS MUCH TOO HIGH FOR BEING TREATED LIKE THIS, NOONE CLEANS THE ROOM, AND IF YOU WANT TO DO A LATE CHECK OUT, THE TRY TO CHARGE 400 BHT!!! BETTER STAY AT 4SONS (-PLACE,-VILLAGE, -HOME:ITS CHEAPER AND BETTER)

fine in a pinch - 29th September, 2008
Location wise, it could not be better. I love Soi Rambutri because it is both lively and not too loud. Also only about 2 blocks from Khao San. Facility wise is is pretty solid too. not easy to find a clean pool for this price. Rooms are basic and small but very clean. Price is pretty reasonable, they are charging what they can get. Where this place is especially lacking is the staff. They are rude, inflexible, and lazy. It is hard to really enjoy a place when you're innitial experience is getting treated like a nuisance when trying to PAY FOR YOUR ROOM. Dealing with the staff in this place is like getting concentrated dose of the worst aspects of Bangkok. They see your money, and nothing else. like i said though, If i need a place to stay for a night and i dont have a reservation anywhere, this place is a great option to have. They tend to always have some kind of vacancy and the prices for what you get aren't unreasonable. Location is also a huge selling point. HOWEVER, if you are planning ahead for you time in Bangkok, stay at LAMPHU HOUSE right next to this place. for the same price, but no pool or TV, you get a better experience in every way: Room, bathroom, lobby, bed, shower, and ESPECIALLY STAFF are all significantly better. Gotta book ahead though!

BED BUGS!! - 27th September, 2008
This hotel is good value for money in terms of accomodation but the staff do oscillate between helpful & rude. The main issue when we were there is that there was clearly an infestation of bed bugs & rather than containing/treating it they were just moving customers who compained into different rooms. For a little extra Baht Rambuttri House at the other end of the steet is a better option.

Neither Dreadful Nor Great - 7th September, 2008
Stayed here after a few day on Koh Samet. The double a/c room was pricey at 800 THB - I've stayed in 5 star hotels elsewhere in Thailand for 1,000 THB so this was over the odds. I wouldn't say the staff were rude but they weren't the most attentive - they basically just didn't seem bothered. The room was clean on arrival and not too small, but rather average, as was the bathroom. The room wasn't cleaned and the bedding wasn't changed in the 3 nights I stayed. Didn't get a chance to use the pool unfortunately. Nice location, a couple of minutes' walk from Khaosan Road and with a fab fish and chip shop just outside. Apart from that, just another guesthouse at above-average prices.

Rude and aggressive - 21st March, 2008
I've never been treated so badly in a hotel. They constantly call you and knock on the door asking when you're checking out. I told them 5 times and still they left notes on my door. I complained and the lady at the desk told me to 'Go and have an accident'and then called the security guard over to threaten me. Just for calmly complaining. I know you don't visit a place to hang out in the lobby, but this was phenomenal. I wasn't the only one, there were two others complaining at the same time, equally as calm. DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE THE MONEY!!

Rude Staff!! - 27th February, 2008
This place wins the prize for rudest staff on my entire trip through southeast asia. It was also the most expensive room on my trip. The rooftop pool is nice, but the rooms are below average for the price. We had ants and they didn't clean the room. None of this really bothers me, but at 800B for a double, I'm not sure what you're paying for. If you do stay here try to get a room away from the street. Ours was street-side and very loud from the bar on street below, which I don't mind, but some might be bothered by. The real killer though, were the roosters living in the wat across the street, which start crowing around 4am (when the drinkers finally leave) and go until about 10am. Try next door Lamphu House, way better, super cute and cheaper!

Rude Staff!! - 24th February, 2008
Expensive (800B double) the most I paid on my entire trip and a below average room and super rude staff. Our room was smelly, had ants and was on the street side, so at night it was pretty loud from the outdoor bar downstairs. The real killer though, were the roosters who live in the wat across the street. They start crowing around 4am (right when the bar-goers finally call it a night) and keep crowing until about 10am. . The pool is the only nice thing about this place, but still not worth the price and who wants to sit by a pool when there's so much to see? Cold, institutional, noisy and over-priced. Try Lamphu House next door, for a super nice hotel experience and it's cheaper! I didn't hear the roosters either.

OK but disappointing - 20th January, 2008
Booked a reservation through email two months ahead. Confirmed two days before arrival. Arrived to have no room. This happened to another couple as I was trying to check in. The next morning, three ladies from Argentina, with email confirmation in hand, also didn't have a room. Had to take a more expensive room and eventually moved to single. The staff was the least helpful, friendly and welcoming (with a couple exceptions) of my entire six weeks in Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. Considered moving because of this. Read that Wild Orchid was unfriendly. They were four star compared to my experience here. Enjoyed the pool after a hot day in Bangkok. Reasonable prices room once I got one, no service on my room in four days, would look elsewhere next time in Bangkok.

Not bad - 6th December, 2007
The place is clean and fairly priced. The rooms were fairly quiet. I liked that they had safety boxes. They do require refundable deposits for everything (SAVE YOUR RECIEPTS!...this should be common sense though). The location is great, close to Phra Athit Pier, KS Rd, etc. I understand the complaints about the front desk staff but I found it to be inconsistent. Sometimes they didn't seem busy and I was invisible but once spotted they were irritated. Other times they were very friendly, engaging and accommodating. But really, who cares, you're not in BKK to hang out in their lobby. Overall it was a good place and I'd stay there again.

clear complaint - 15th November, 2007
Basically I think I was at the right place at a fair price. In detail I complain, because your service people at the desk where incredibly unfriendly, unkind, impolite, not service oriented. They were absolutely uninterested at any wishes or complaints or questions of the guests. Any wish out of routine was simply denied.

good and cheap - 11th September, 2007
Stayed there several times. Last year chaotic me, misplaced receipt from my lugage and got my suitcase back with a big smile from reception. They didn't even ask for the receipt from the deposit. I never have any problems with them. But I have heard customers screaming and being unfriendly. And I know what I would do in that case. It is a cheap guesthouse not a 5 star hotel. Do NOT expect 5 star hotel service. I'm going back this year.

Thieves - 30th August, 2007
I was randomly charged with for an extra night, and was not refunded. They claimed I didn't check my receipt and it was my fault even though they mistakenly charged me. Management didn't care and I could only give up. I would avoid this place as the staff is rude and unfriendly. If you do stay here, check your receipts carefully. This has happened before one of the receptionists told me and the guy never got his money back either, so they know it's happening. Also be careful about internet bookings, in my three weeks staying here, there were a lot of bookings screwed up and people waiting around for a long time. Go to Lamphu Guesthouse right beside it or to D&D Inn.

Excellent choice - 15th August, 2007
We stayed here for 4 night during our trip to Thailand and really liked the place. We stayed in an AC/hot shower room and it was really clean and comfortable, although a bit basic. However that didn't really bother us, since I hate rugs and unneccessary ''dirt catching'' decor in hotel rooms. The staff are nice if you are nice. I saw a lot of rude tourists at the reception, so of course the staff can reply in the same way. Just keep in mind - a smile is (almost) always repaid by a smile:) As for all the tailors in the vicinity - you will meet them in a lot of places in Bangkok and Thailand in general, so you should just ignore them and go your own way. Unlike in Arabiv world, the Thai people understand 'no' much better and leave you alone if you indicate that you don't won't to be bothered. Generally, I have to say the location is much better than Kaosan Rd. since it is not nearly as noisy, so you can at least get a good night sleep. We really recommend the place!

very bad receptionists - 26th May, 2007
The receptionists of this hotel are the rudest staff I never met. I met them at 6:30am on May 14th 2007. They think they have enough clients, so not necessary to be polite to clients. I didn't stay in this hotel and I will tell all my friends don't go to that hotel. I will put my opinion about this hotel in any website when it's necessary. My trip to Thailand was excellent except I met this hotel for few minutes. I have read some feedback here, I found ''Conchuir'' has the excitely same feeling as mine.

Very Nasty Staff - 3rd April, 2007
Stayed here a few times and the rooms are clean and relatively cheap. Swimming pool area was ok for sunbathing, but the water was absolutely filthy. The staff are probably the rudest people I met in all my time in Asia. They are only too happy to fight with any customer, mainly because the hostel is always booked out. Beware of a rip in your sheets or anything out of the ordinary as you will be charged an exorbitant fine for any damage.

Stayed in a single a/c room. Very small, but clean. Small but adequate bathroom. The room was charmless, no decoration, and only one power point which the tv was plugged into. Theres no way to control the a/c, its either on or off. Beautiful pool, but agree with everyone that its almost impossible to find space to sit. Theres a great internet cafe right outside the lobby.

Very good! - 30th January, 2007
Totally OK. They raised the room rates a little bit, the double with private bathroom and AC costs 800 baht during peak season. Maybe its cheaper during low season? Anyway, nice staff, very clean, big rooms, hot shower and a swimming pool, which is a bit of a luxury within this price range. The only negative thing I can come to think of is the all the tailors right outside the hotel lobby. If your in the market, their fairly cheap, if not they can become a bit anoying.

Our room was 800 baht and was pretty big and very clean. Agree with other comments that the pool is way too small for the number of rooms and we couldn't find a place to sit let alone room in the pool. Didn't check out any other places so I don't know if it is better or worse.

Expensive but clean and quiet - 10th January, 2007
Friendliness of staff depends on time of day but efficient and willing to help, good English. Only had 800 Baht rooms available (apparently). Good room but still overpriced, rather try their cheaper rooms if you don’t want a tv or aircon (like we got but didn’t need).Room was spotless and a bit more space than other rooms in the area but also probably because of the 800B:)Bed was good and firm with decent pillows, towels smelly so have your own handy. Pretty quiet, because of the location it’s shielded from most of the street noise and far enough from Khao San Rd to avoid the chaos but close enough to walk 5 mins. Bathroom pretty big and clean. Flush western toilet and cold shower. No electrical outlets. Bag storage available and cheap. No internet facilities but there’s an internet café right by the entrance. No restaurant but a few near the entrance and many options in the area. Don’t know about laundry since we didn’t have to do any at that stage but sure they have. International payphone across the street and close to travel agencies that also offer overseas calls. Tailors hang out on the way in/out of the building and are very annoying!

Unpleasant place - 11th December, 2006
I did'nt like the Rambutri at all. The swimming pool is overfull, rooms are very basic and small. They're clean alright ... but I didn't know where to leave my stuff in that room. Staff were arrogant -- they don't mind if you come or go -- they'll sell their rooms anyway. I paid 800B for an air-con room which was too high for what I got. But then again I totally was dissatisfied with all of Soi Rambutri as it doesn't feel like you are in Thailand. According too what I read in reviews I booked five nights at Rambutri, but moved out after two. A good move. (IMO).

Go here only if you strike out next door at Lamphu - 8th August, 2006
Stayed here at the end of our trip because there was no room at Lamphu. It was a nice enough place-definitely clean but definitely worn. It was quite obvious that someone had trashed our room at some point because it had the scars to prove it, so it's showing it's age. Yes it has a tv, but only the thai channels worked (I certainly didn't see any of this cable tv they purport to have) and there was no remote,so it kinda sucked to watch tv before falling asleep and have to get up and turn it off. Also, there was an aircon, but only one temp-freeze-and it's way too noisy to open the window, so... Also, the desk staff were very rude and surly, but you usually don't spend much of your time talking to them, so this is isn't as bad as it seems. Also, do NOT lose your receipt, as they will make you pay to have copies of your passport made before you get your deposit back. I would think the key the would serve as receipt enough, but perhaps this deprives the clerk of a golden opportunity of rudeness. But, it is clean and if Lamphu is full up, give this place a go-it certainly is clean-if just incredibly annoying with all the tailors all the time and hotel staff delighting in waking you up. You could do better, but you could also do worse.

Many quirks, but I like it. - 7th August, 2006
Everyone seems to hate this place, but I really like it. PROS: -The whole place is clean clean clean clean. -Very nice pool. -Very nice complex which doesn't always seem like you're in KSR purgatory. -Beautiful views of the Wat across the street. -AC with TV, Hot Water, Good Water Pressure, No mystery discolorations anywhere. CONS- -KSR isn't the most conveinent location in BKK, IMHO -The Desk staff is surly as ****- Beyond Basil Fawlty surly at that. keep your receipt that says you payed for your room. Woe be you if you get into an argument with them. Especially if this is at night when they have their security guard on duty. This heavy is 2 seconds away from fulfilling his fantasy of kicking the **** out of some smarmy backpacker coming to **** on his country and people... Obey this man.. - The Tailors really are annoying. Iunderstand that they're trying to make a living and make a sale, but they never ever ever ever ever stop no matter what. We even bought him 3 4 packs of singhas for he and his friends and made him promise to not ever bother us again. Didn't work. - Across the way there was an Indian Restaurant Called Cafe Delhi. Owned by a Sikh (?) family that also owned a Tailor and Net Cafe. Excellent food at good prices with excellent wait staff and a friendly manager- Almost unheard of in the KSR area. This has since been replaced by some british Fish and Chips shop. URGHHHHH. -If you find a friend at Gullivers or Lava or Silk Bar, or if a friend finds you... You're paying that surly desk clerk 200 Baht and she's giving you ****. In short, what you get is a very good value clean hotel. It's a big operation, and you know what you get when you come back. Sure you can find better deals or slightly better amenities, but quite frankly, it's a pain in the ass to search around all in the name 100 Baht..... And you'll have a worse location.

Cheap but for early risers only! - 3rd August, 2006
I am staying here now - and I think next time I will chose somewhere else. First of all - it is NOISY. Not street noisy - but staff noisy. If your and early riser and are usually out of the place by 8am then you won't notice a thing. But EVERY morning at 9-10am, the cleaning ladies call AND knock on every door asking if you will stay another night. They are being polite about it all - but I lie there in my bed hearing it over and over and over (for 30mins or more) waiting for my phone to ring or the knock on my door. The tailors ARE really annoying too because although I am just staying at the Inn - I have to decline getting something made to about 7 guys every single time I walk in or out of the Inn - and there's only 1 way out so you have walk by them. The good things about this hotel is that it does have a pool, has TV and it is cheap - but I'd pay 40-50 baht more a night for a little quiet personally.

Just what you need when you land in Bangkok - 5th July, 2006
Bangkok was my first stop on my 3 month trip in SE Asia, this guesthouse is perfect to start your holiday or travels. The air con rooms are more comfortable then the fan rooms. The price is right & having a pool is a God send in Bangkok, take note a bar by the pool would make it perfect! Reception staff are not the friendliest or most polite, but I forgive them considering how busy this place was. Book in advance in the high season.

Pretty Poor - 18th June, 2006
I'm struggling to find some good aspects to this place but I do at least have a couple of points. They have a pool and it's clean. However the bad far outweighs the good. Arrived late at night with my girlfriend and was told they only had the expensive aircon rooms by one of the reception staff. Couldn't be bothered going anywhere else so paid up. Discovered the next day, after speaking to another member of staff that they had plenty of other rooms available. Regardless of what we paid however, the rooms had no toilet paper, were directly outside a building site that works 24 hours a day, had no top sheet on the beds, had an innefectual fan in the fan room, and staff that have turned rudeness and indifference into an art form. Having stayed alot in asia it's impossible to expect high standards everywhere you stay, but this is the most pricey I have stayed in and the least enjoyable. However they have a pool. For what it's worth.

keep your receipt - 20th March, 2006
I stayed here for one night in January. Though the room was clean (but basic), the rudeness of some staff overshadowed any value for money. After paying (and receiving a receipt) we underwent a good hour or so of phone calls (and hang-ups) from an irate staff member at the front desk, who demanded to see our receipt. Even after going downstairs to show it (twice), we continued getting the calls. When it was finally sorted, somehow the confusion was 'our fault' in their eyes. I'm just glad we actually kept the receipt. So, if you stay there, get one!!

This is a great budget place to stay in Bangkok, its not the cheapest around, we stayed around the corner first(bed bugs)!!the fan rooms are the cheapest, who needs hot water at 35 degrees!!the pool is small but just what u need after a day of the sights!! the taylors who hang around the front door get on ur nerves a bit, save that for vietnam!!

Good option - 31st January, 2006
Pretty good if not spectacular. Set up more like a budget hotel than a backpackers. The room was modern, clean and spacious. Ditto the last reviewers comment about the aircon - they had actually removed the dial so you cannot choose a temperature, meaning I had to keep getting up to switch it on and off in the night. Weird. Basic cable TV only. The staff were pretty unhepful and actually witnessed them being quite rude to some other guests. Another odd thing was that, on our last morning, they sent new guests up to our room at 10 am, without checking whether we had left!

Good value - 15th January, 2006
Well located just far enough away from KSR. We booked in advance and were glad we did - the place was completely booked out when we arrived and people were being turned away. The hotel is responsive to email inquiries. Our room looked a little stark, but actually it had almost everything you would need, though you might need to BYO soap, shampoo and alarm clock. Rooms are narrow but spacious enough. Clean, comfortable beds with probably the best pillows I have ever had. Wall-mounted satellite TV and aircon, neither of which had remote control. Aircon was strong but you can only turn it on or off, so it can get a bit cool in the early hours (especially as you only get a large towelling blanket, no top sheet even). Bathrooms modern and clean with strong hot water - vents are into the hallway which can make for an interesting soundscape when you leave the room. The rooftop pool was nice but only open 10am - 6pm - why?? Staff not especially friendly and it's cash up front or hand over your passport (so make sure you cash your travellers' cheques before you get here), but for the price this place is a bargain.

Immaculate and great pool - 22nd December, 2005
We stayed there for 4 nights and loved it. The rooms are spotless and spacious. Everything is brand new, there's plenty of hot water and the roof-top pool is just what you need in the heat of the day. The main plus for us was that it's very quiet, as it sits back from the street. The staff were reasonably friendly.

Lauren J - 15th December, 2005
I stayed at the Rambuttri for 1 night on 10th December 2005 & it was awful. I paid 500 bhat for a superior single room & it was like a prison cell. There was hair on the bed & on the floor & it was just miserable. The worst part of the experience was the staff - they are so rude. They are unhelpful, unfriendly & refused to give me the name of the manager when asked - stated that there wasn't one. Go & stay next door at the Lamphu House for a true haven in Bangalamphu - place is clean & nicely decorated & the best bit are the staff, who are lovely.

decent place to stay - 11th November, 2005
very clean and cheap for a place with a swimming pool. close to all the so-called attractions of khao san and within walking distance to phra arthit pier. service however is non-existent. the front desk girl actually called my room at midnight and insisted that i go downstairs right then to pay for that day's rent. she could've done that when i asked for my room key earlier..

I stayed 3 nights here and the single aircon was clean and well-equiped. The rooftop pool is an added bonus, along with the nearby restaurant which offers good food and free internet for 15mins.

so wonderful guest house near khaosan road - 28th July, 2005
Rambuttri Village Inn was a nice clean hotel with friendly service. We stayed here at the beginning of June 2005 and will go back again at the time we go to Bangkok. This guest house is in a good area close to khaosan road but not noisy. A great place to stay if you are tired of staying in messy guest houses and sweat dripping off your body. This guesthouse also has a very pleasant garden terrace, restaurants around the fish pool, a very big swimming pool, and shopping plaza. Nice rooms with nice ventilation, and really nice private bathrooms. The cheap price on travelfish was for year 2004. Don’t be surprised for higher price in year 2005, because the hotel adds cable tv in every air condition room and a very big pool is already full opened. The update price for twin/double room with a/c, tv, hot shower is 650 bath. Triple room with a/c, tv, hot shower is 850 bath. Single room with a/c, tv, hot shower is 400 bath. Special single room with a/c, big bed, tv, hot shower is 500 bath. Hotel also has a small number of budget fan room but not shown in website. They can not accept online reservation for fan room, so some one, who need fan room, should go directly to the hotel. I very recommend double room with a/c. Hotel is a totally cool place.

Resort style guesthouse, not the cheapest in one, but excellent value!!! - 3rd June, 2005
I and my wife just spent about two months travelling in Thailand and ended up coming back to Bangkok many times. We've had to stay all over Khao San Road area. The place we like the most is Rambuttri Village Inn at Soi Rambutri , the left of the temple. If you are looking for the best place to fulfil your vacation especially coming with your girlfriend, this is the place to do it. For 650B a night we got double air-con, private bath with hot/cold shower, cable TV, the view of resort style garden, and 24 hours security. The best part they have a large swimming pool, everything is new and nice clean. Not the cheapest in the area but excellent value!!

Excellent place - 2nd February, 2005
I stayed here at the beginning of December and went back again at the end of January and for 290B per night it was excellent value. Nice clean rooms, with really nice ensuite bathrooms, and the pool was an added bonus (although when I was there it could have done with a good clean). One minor point to mention is that you get pestered by tailors trying to sell you a suit every time you go back to the hotel, but other than that it was a totally cool place.
