D&D Inn
A Khao San Rd favourite

What we say: 
Khao San Road's flashpacker factory, the D&D Inn is quite reasonable value for Khao San Road with good, clean rooms and professional staff. Facilities and services include a roof-top swimming pool, shopping arcade and room service. The pool area, beside a bar with pool tables, has great views and is particularly popular. There is also a massage centre and a couple of sunbaking platforms up top. We'd imagine on a sunny afternoon things would be pretty hectic upstairs. Out the back of the hotel is a pleasant though small Thai garden restaurant and a water feature containing the biggest carp we've ever seen, along with access to a back soi. Standard rooms are a great deal but sell out more quickly than the doubles that are simply newer, with more quality bedding and newer TVs. The room we were shown had a semi walkin wardrobe and a two part bathroom, which seemed like overkill at this price level. Windowless standards, though noise-proof, can be a bit stuffy although many have small balconies that allow in some air. Though it is a very popular choice, we often receive reports of mixed service (though to be fair, we'd imagine the staff here would put up with a lot!) and difficulty in making a reservation. If you're looking for a newer property with similar features, both the Rikka Inn and Sleep WithInn are good options, while if you want to spend more, Buddy Lodge is a solid upgrade. D&D Inn is right on Khao San Road so you can't be much closer to the action than this.

Rudest staff we came across in 5 weeks
We traveled for 5 weeks across SE Asia and this place had the rudest staff. They need to work on their customer service if they want to survive. This was our 2nd time there in 5 weeks and again they insisted that there was only deluxe rooms available (when I had booked a regular). When we finally got the regular one we arrived to find it stank of sewerage and was super noisy. So we changed rooms and pay more for the deluxe. This seemed to be a major drama for the receptionist who made it almost impossible to come to any solution. Would not stay here again..but if you're after location and a pool those would be the only good points.

Overrated and rude
Staff rude.To be fair they seem always swamped with people. Expensive for windowless cell with no touches (not even a poster or anything to break up the bleak white nothingness, but that was the standard 750B room). Pool on roof open until 2 am and we went up about 7.30pm, the whole place was a mess of bottles etc and staff just talking to friends, no one cleaning up. Never once felt assisted with any enquiries etc.

We loved D&D Inn
We loved D&D Inn because it's in a very good place in Bangkok near the centre and near many places. The restaurant is quiet, rooms are very nice and the pool bar is really relaxing. A good way for us to arrive in Thailand and appreciate this place a lot so we bring with us friends and we hope they love this country and D&D like us.

Nice
D&D is a nice place if you're willing to part with 750B a night. Stayed three nights then moved somewhere cheaper. If you're on a budget, look elsewhere but if you can afford a little extra, may be worth it for your first few nights getting used to Khao San Road.

Perfect!!!!!
We stayed this year in three months three times in D&D INN. We stayed there sometimes for 2 weeks. We had a double deluxe room. The room was very nice, Better then we had expected. Well decorated, looked like a resort style, with beautiful bathrooms,perfect bed, big room, very clean and great room service. Ok, there was no window, just a small one in the bathroom. But this is no problem. Again,the room looks perfect. The hotel have everything, internet service, nice swimming pool, massage and some shops downstairs. I can recommend this hotel for sure!

D&D in fine for the the money
D&D in fine for the the money. All these messages about the staff being unhelpful are rubbish. I found then all to be very friendly and up for a laugh! It's in a good location and the pool is ideal for when you get fed up of trekking the streets. Stay here!!!

Nice but overpriced!
I think this place is good but overpriced and overrated. The free breakfast is poor. It was very noisy from building work and they didn't stick to the advertised times. When we went back after three weeks to ask for a quieter room, it was even worse (drilling almost outside you room and everything), so we didn't bother. We went to the Khao San Palace Hotel which was similar standard (also has a pool + air-con) but much cheaper (no breakfast). Building work won't last forever so might be better when finished, probably will be even more expensive though!

Bad feeling...
Did not like the place, for several reasons, the staff being the main reason. My Thai girlfriend was treated like dirt. Many rooms have no window or furniture, when it rains it is hard to get your breakfast (outside). 750B for a double room with air-con and private bathroom is way too much. Only the swimming pool on the roof is a plus.

Not a bad place...
As of March 2005, they've finished the restaurant, but there's still building work going on by the side. I recommend the swimming pool and view from the roof of the hotel. There's a beauty salon where I had a mediocre facial, but I don't recommend the Thai massage on the roof (masseuses didn't seem to care what they were doing and appeared to be laughing at our expense). Staff at reception were unhelpful and often rude, but for the price we were living in luxury compared to the basic guesthouses around the Khao San area.

D&D Inn is a mixed bag
I've stayed at the D&D many times and can report that it is a good deal, but service and attitude are a mixed bag. Sometimes they're great, sometimes they are offensive and infuriating. The pool is fantastic and is the real reason I stay there. It helps to tip the maids in order to get your room really clean. The beds are too hard and currently the TV service sucks.

Back Again...
I've just been back again, my 4th+ stay at D&D Inn over last 2-3 years. It's definately changing, but I don't know if I like it. It's aiming more & more for the tight-**** breed of back-packers. The quality is getting lower, but so are the prices and it remains great value -- just less of a full-quality hotel, and more like a budget backpackers. They've STILL got work going on to improve the extra facilities like the rooftop pool etc. They say you can't book within the next 7 days if you're in Thailand, you have to turn-up after around 11am & hope for the best. You'll do o.k. as long as you're relaxed. Probably my biggest beef is they no longer accept anything but cash. Still it's the best on Khao San, still prime position, still good price... Still my local.

D&D Inn
I have stayed at other guest houses on Khao San Road and this one was definitely refreshing. Clean and comfortable room, professional staff and a pool to cool off in after a hot day. This was nice because I paid guesthouse prices for hotel-like accommodation and I'm right in the middle of Khao San. D&D Inn is definitely going to be the hub my future Thailand travels.

My Local...
Every time I go to Bangkok, I stay at the D&D. It's always very busy, and hard to make a booking that "sticks", but it's a great place for the price in my opinion. It's got prime position on Khao San Road, a roof-top pool for guests only, cable TV, and all the other goodies you'd expect from a proper quality hotel. This time they had construction going on (during reasonable hours), but they warned about it & apologised. After backpacking through S.E. Asia, I look forward to putting my feet up here.

Not the worst place we stayed in Thailand, but not the best either. The roof top pool was nice. A little too expensive for what we got.

Not clean and very unhelpful staff. Waited 20 minutes for the lift and then sent to wrong room. Finally got inside to find no windows, plastic covered mattress and dirty sheets.
