The room smells. The deodorant used to cover up the smell has a strong chemical smell, which is double the pain. The location is difficult to find and inconvenient. Shower water pressure is weak. However, if you stay in a room on the 6th floor or above, you can see the river. This is the biggest advantage of this inn. By the way, this is what it looks like on the 5th floor.

nice hotel in the middle of all the old traditional houses. When you walk there you will first think where are we going to end up, but when you finally arrive at the hotel you will be told. the roof terrace is nice and has a nice view over the river.

👍 Nice location in Talat Noi with a view👍 Friendly and helpful staff👎 Wifi is very unstable. If you need to work, you should use data.👎 The door in hallway to restaurant is always open, bad frying oil smell goes down to the rooms and makes the room smell like the kitchen👎 Elevator is pretty slow. On peak times after waiting 5 minutes i prefer taking the stairs.I've been staying here for months now. I like the hotel, but unfortunately the prices recently went up while the quality of the place went down. Especially the wifi went so bad. I hope it will improve soon, coz it's one of my favorite places in Bangkok.

Does the hotel have any measures for breakfast? Waiting for a very long time, starting at 7:30 a.m., getting food at 9:00 a.m. I asked if the porridge wasn't made into a pot. Why did it take so long? They said it was made plate by plate, unbelievable, making customers wait so long. There's nothing like this done anywhere. Please help me improve.
