Good room, quiet, sleep comfortably, close to food, clean bathroom, but the stairs going up are afraid of falling. There is no barrier. Good service. Contact the room page. Not working with Agoda anymore

Overall very bad First, I would like to praise that the location is good, near the monument, and there are a lot of easy to find food in the alley. The hotel is beautifully decorated. The only thing I have to criticize is 1. The stairs going up don't have a handrail at all. If you take an old person with you, it's very difficult. They're afraid they'll fall. 2. The bathrooms are very dirty. Just put some paint on it and it'll just cause mold. The bathroom floor should be made plain. It's rough, black, dirty. WiFi is there, but it's like there's no hotel, no password set at all. Anyone who uses it can use it. Compete with people outside In conclusion, you have to use the internet through the SIM card as usual. Towels. Seriously, has the owner ever tried using it? The condition is much worse than a hard, rough cloth. You can check if the skin is scratched.

Good location near Victory Monument In the alley is a market full of food. The outside looks good. Inside, I'm not sure if I smell air freshener or floor cleaner. It's very strong. It smells like air freshener in a taxi or in a bathroom. It pervades the whole building, even in the room. The smell is not fresh. The staircase handrail is not strong at all. Staying on the 4th floor, we were quite exhausted. Not suitable for the elderly. Refrigerator, microwave, shared dishes and bowls are on the first floor. Reserve a room with a deposit, pay in full or check in. No documents have been issued as evidence but the room has been locked. Just come and inform your name on the day of your stay. 1000 baht per night for an ensuite bathroom and air conditioning, 2 bottles of water, free wifi. But definitely won't go back to stay again.
