• Almost impressed

  This was a final night to our adventures in Bangkok, we thought we would treat ourselves to the pool! Rooms were a little less than we expected, bit bland and characterless, but its the pool that sells this place, and it does sell it, albeit the view isn't amazing, it still is a view. for the extra price your going to pay here, maybe think about locations near Lumphini Park?

• Nice but not much of an atmosphere!

  Stayed here a few times while coming back and forth through Bangkok. The rooftop pool is basically what I was coming back for, it doesn't offer too much more! Rooms are clean, not much going on but it's in a great location, not far from the crazyness of Khao San. And as the others say, look after your deposit voucher!

• Good Enough

  We stayed here on an overnight in transit in Bangkok. We paid 1050 Baht and the room was good enough. The a/c worked well, the bathroom is clean and good sized (don't have to spray the entire room when you shower), the room is modest but nice, the cable TV works, and the location is very good. It's a few minute walk to Khao San Road. Unless there are great deals lurking nearby (we were tired and didn't look hard), this works.

• Good Enough

  I've stayed at this place 3 or 4 times now and it seems each time I have a little different experience. One thing I've noted for sure is it's worth paying for the deluxe rooms if you plan on staying more than a night or two. They are just cleaner and the beds are newer and more comfortable. The swimming pools (there are two of them) are a huge plus if the smog blows away and you get some sunshine. You just have to deal with pool water that isn't quite up to western standards. Overall this place gets the job done for a reasonable price and there is nothing to stop me from coming back again. (besides maybe the tailors!)

• My fallback choice

  Fallback choice because it always seems to have rooms available if nowhere else does - the place is huge and easy to get lost in after a few beers :). Superior rooms are very clean and high quality, standard rooms are OK but look a bit shabbier. Reception is a nightmare...the vast majority of staff arnt trying to be rude I dont think, but they get so busy (theres always a huge line) its understandable they're going to be a bit surly. If they changed the 'pay by the day' system they would make their lives so much easier! Also the reception is perhaps the hottest place on earth, not even a single fan to keep you cool, not pleasent. More of a hotel vibe than guesthouse, you wouldnt come here for the atmosphere. The plaza is always lively, and the tailors very friendly and good fun to talk to, as someone else says, dont be rude - obviously they are trying to sell to you but they dont make you feel obligated to buy (though I ended up doing so!)

• No go

  We stayed here in a double room (THB 800) with A/C and a hot shower. A quite spacious room with aged furniture wich smelled after sigarettes. As stated before, the A/C doesn't have a remote, so we were absolutely freezing. Echoes from voices and slamming doors in the corridors made the room very noisy. The pool is a pro, but it's only open from 10am-6pm. The hotel requires you to pay day-by-day. It's usually busy at the reception desk, so this means you have to get in line every morning. The staff is very arrogant and even rude. They made our stay very unpleasant. There is no getting extra towels for the pool. For new toiletpaper we had to search for the housekeeping ourselves. Eventhough we had a reciept there was a problem getting our deposit back (something seemed to be wrong with the signature). And on our last day when we wanted to rent the room untill 4pm we found the receptionist laughing at us! We are absolutely never going here again.

• all fine

  stayed there two times last year and all was fine. nice helpful staff, they even allowed me to look for a friends room number after I checked out a day before and allowed me to go up and leave a message at the door. rooms were clean and available at 6 in the morning which was good, because I arrived with a night bus back from the south. heard nothing bad about them, all my friends stay there. will come back, especially with the web promotion now.

• BIG WARNING!!!

  Dishonest staff! Nothing Buddha about this place! I paid 800 THB for a double room. Booked on internet. I have never been treated so bad without any reason during my travels in asia. I left the hotel in anger just 3 hours after checking in. I discovered that I forgot my bathroom articles, and when I went back to get them all my electrical gear and shampoo etc. was missing. When I complained they threatened to call the police. Finally I got some stuff back, but my razor and brand new electrical toothbrush was gone.

• Rambuttri Village

  I had a single with air, just as described by others. Very clean, nice pool, the staff were ok just bear with them they seem busy all the time. The tailors were nice, met one from Nepal one from Myanmar, they are happy to talk to you, don't be rude to them. The Indian restaurant in the courtyard was very good, Chicken Tikka, nan (3 pieces), coke, 118 baht. The pool was clean and refreshing but crowded. I like that it is shallow. The air/con has no remote, but if you are tall enough you can reach the controls on the unit and bump it up. Also the window had a screen so I could leave it open if desired. I would stay here again but I will maybe get a double if I can get a view.

• Nicest and Cheap :)

  we came in during their little renovation. The Hotel is large and largest hotel in khaosan town. i stay at standard room, it is a good size and the Hotel has a really big pool at the top of the Hotel with a magnificent view of old town. the British and Indian restaurant at the ground floor, tailor , internet shop, Liquor Bar, 7 Eleven and closed to khaosan area, i like this place despite the fact that Reception wasn't so nice but however i understanding it is a tough job to handle many agro backpackers, everything is fast processing, Walk-In, Pay, Deposit, Key, go to your room and enjoy.. there is no service or whatsoever to please you, inclusive in this price, so we just need to follow their rules correctly,otherwise we're dead @o@. Whatsoever the facilities of this hotel is the best in this location, and the cleanliness is well acceptable. i would go back there again if the price isn't increasing. i'd recommend them to train their staff to be better because of the overall hotel is nice place nice location with everything at the hotel, so if staff are nice too they can increase price even higher. lastly, if you're looking for a Hotel with a service and with a nice staff to talk to you, play with you or dating with you, i wouldn't recommend this place but if you're just looking for a cheap motel with a clean room, quiet for your rest and have everything at the door step. then this is just a place for ya.

• perfect for me

  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.

• fine in a pinch

  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!!

  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

  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 Staff!!

  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.

• Rude Staff!!

  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!

• OK but disappointing

  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

  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.

• good and cheap

  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

  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.

  We loved it! The staff were lovely and very helpful (even when my friend lost the key to the safe and they had to smash it open!!), the rooms clean and spacious. The pool is wonderful and clean.. perfect after the heat in the city... oh and ofcourse the wonderful bar and British cafe downstairs! I live in Korea and I had my first pie in 3 years...

• Very Nasty Staff

  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!

  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

  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

  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

  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.

• Cheap but for early risers only!

  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

  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.

• keep your receipt

  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!!

• Good option

  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 air-con - 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!

  Well located just far enough away from Khao San Road. 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. Air-on 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

  We stayed there for four 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.

• Resort style guesthouse, not the cheapest in one, but excellent value!!!

  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

  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.
