The hotel definitely had seen better days. The facade of the building was very old and dirty. The lobby was nice and modern though with high ceilings and a grand staircase leading up to the mezzanine floor. Stepping out of the elevator and into the guest room's hallway, you'd think you'd boarded a time machine, for the decor was decidedly very 70s. It smelled too. The guest room was, again, smelled stuffy. The bed was hard, the tv had no remote, the glasses looked as if it hadn't been changed since the 70s that I dared not used it, the window looked badly in need of a wash, oh I could go on and on, thank God the towels were whites, fresh, and clean.
Breakfasts were served on the nice and airy garden terrace. There were many choices but the taste was nothing to write home about. The friendliness of the staff was the only salvaging qualities of this hotel IMHO. I have to agree with one VT member that the hotel is in need of an upgrade badly. As far as location goes, this hotel sits smack in the heart of Pratunam with its wholesale market that was always crowded day and night.
If you're looking for just a place to crash in at night and take showers, then I'd certainly recommend this hotel for its great location. But if you're looking for a modern hotel, with first class facilities then I'd advise you to steer clear of this one.
Unique Qualities: - located in the heart of Pratunam market, a haven for shoppers and bargain hunters
- the rooms on upper floors have great views of Bangkok and the Pratunam market.
