Hotéis em Bang Phlat, Bangkok

Prós: Love the staff, the elegance of the mansion and the proximity to nightlife while maintaining quiet and solitude

Contras: Nothing

Prós: The hotel is conveniently located on the river within walking distance to a river boat stop (N. 16). The river boats are a fast and cost effective way to travel Bangkok.

Contras: The hotel is not set up for US or English-only speaking tourists, which is understandable, but good for other travelers to know. For example, the ground transport kiosk listed both taxi and limo services; however, when we tried to book a taxi to the airport the hotel staff member kept trying to sell us a limo ride to airport. Unfortunately our Thai is limited, so we were only speaking English when trying to set this up. We finally ended up with a taxi, which cost 1/3 the price of the limo. The amenities are also not great. The breakfast is low-quality food and there is only WiFi available in the hotel lobby.

Prós: Cheap as heck and staff are really great. They also generously care for some kittens

Contras: Locks on the doors were a bit jank. No air cond or fans in private rooms. People were jamming on instruments very loudly late at night

Prós: Staff.

Contras: Almost everything. It is a disaster inside. There was no bed for me. After checking in, I drop my stuff on my bed. When I came back to sleep there was someone in my bed. After asking the Staff, they told me "just use another one". The problem is that all beds were full! If you dont like smoking, dont stay here because everyone smokes, inside the building. No toilet paper, awful toilets and showers. Awful experience!
