The staff were welcoming, yet the surrounding area felt rundown, the breakfast fell short of a four‑star standard, the rooms were extremely small, and the bathroom sink was oddly placed in the middle of the room.

The employees were lovely, but there was an older man (a con artist) at the reception with a tuk‑tuk who scammed you on shirt deals; you give him a location, he drops you somewhere and then takes you to a friend’s place for a high price if you give another address; aside from that, the hotel was great, and the pick‑up wasn’t as in the photos but that’s fine.

Everything was good and the stays were very quiet; I learned to check that all my money was in my wallet, because I’d left a 50‑Euro note on the table and lost it when I returned, but that didn’t ruin the stay.

The location was good, close to the skytrain, Siam shopping precinct, Arts & Culture Centre and Jim Thompson house, the street feels less touristy with many shops, there’s a nice smoking area, a beautiful lobby, a lift, and good TV; however it lacks a Thai flavour, the pool is oddly placed, the bedding was dirty underneath, breakfast was average, and the internet was spotty.

The room is comfy, and the location is close to the BTS. I wish there were another set of breakfast options.
