we’ve got bad experienced in BKK trip. First the bathroom floor was extremely dirty & slide door was sticky and it was seems never cleaned that bathroom. And then also bedsheets were stained and room was dusty. And very tiny insects (looks like ant) were everywhere and made my skin itchy. I’m sure to say that room cleaner is nothing to do clean that room very long time.Most disappointing thing was one of the reception desk staff was very contemptuously and rude,she totally doesn’t know or realize what position of her job. Other two of Front desk staffs were nice and helpful. We’ll never ever go again that place.

The location is not bad. However, the rooms are a little old. In the past, I didn't mind that the guest rooms were old, but with the recent outbreak of bedbugs, I found these insects and got scared and changed hotels. Sorry, I may have made a mistake.
