Description
D& D underwent a major 2007 renovation that has both the exterior, lobby, and rooms looking quite flash. It's 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. Out the back of the hotel is a pleasant garden Thai restaurant and access to Soi Tanao. 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. 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 and difficulty in making a reservation.

Overrated and rude -
By celianz ( total comments: 11  More information please ) Stayed here 3/2008
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.

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.


Nice but overpriced! -
By claramon ( total comments: 8  More information please ) Stayed here 8/2005
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!


Not a bad place... -
By bohemia ( total comments: 4  More information please ) Stayed here 3/2005
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.


Back Again... -
By Sektion8 ( total comments: 6  More information please ) Stayed here 8/2004
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.


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.


D&D inn -

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.


D&D Inn -

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.

Sawasdee Khaosan Inn
18 Chakraphong Rd, Bangkok
This sparkling guesthouse has a trendy restaurant, a bookstore, internet cafe, travel agent, tattoo parlour and a range of rooms -- some of which are very well-sized and which even still have that new room smell; it's a mini khao san microcosm. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. A top... more



Four Sons Place
1,3,5 Soi Trok Mayon, Bangkok
Set between Chakraphong Rd and the New Joe guesthouse, this latest member of the Four Sons chain is so new the spilled grout hasn't worn off the bathroom tiles yet. If you're looking for cleanliness rather than charm, then you could do a lot worse than here. Clean as it is, Four Sons Place isn't... more



Center Point Plaza and Hotel
183-185 Khao San Rd, Bangkok
This newly constructed (2006) complex has quite fancy rooms for such reasonable prices, with nice touches in the rooms, such as silk throw pillows and comfortable beds. Staff may not be particularly friendly, but are extremely professional. Some rooms are oddly shaped, but have a pleasant smell.... more
