Hotel Surroundings

The hotel faces the main street, so the sound of cars passing by bothered me. However, it is easy to catch a taxi or tuk-tuk in front of the hotel. There was a market for locals in a narrow alley right next to the hotel. There are no tourists walking in the narrow alleys. There were houses around the hotel with small children running around. The sidewalk on the main street in front of the hotel was narrow and dangerous.

Staff and Guests

The staff were friendly and helpful. The waiters and waitresses were also polite during breakfast. However, the housekeepers did not seem to understand English, so I had trouble communicating with them.

Access

It takes about 40 minutes by taxi from Don Muang Airport. Using the dispatch service app, it cost 500 baht from the airport to the hotel. There are two convenience stores around the hotel, but no other shops. Since the hotel faces the main street it felt safe around the hotel. Even though I walked along the main street in front of the hotel at night, I didn’t feel any danger, but I think it’s dangerous because it’s dark at night when there are no tourists in the alley. The hotel is located in the Siam district, but it is a 20 minute walk to the nearest and largest shopping mall. I used a tuk-tuk or a vehicle dispatch service app, but there are times when the roads are crowded and there are times when I have to make a detour due to many one-way streets. The price from the hotel to the area with many shopping malls is about 100 to 200 baht for both tuk-tuk and vehicle dispatch service.

Summary

I had a nice stay at this hotel, but it would have been more convenient to stay in the center of the city. It seemed like a good location when making a reservation, but in reality it was difficult to walk 20 minutes from the shopping mall, so I had to use the dispatch service and tuk-tuk after all. Also, there were not many restaurants nearby, so if you act early in the morning, it’s a hassle to go out all day or take a taxi to the center just to have dinner. However, the staff were very kind and friendly, so that was good. Breakfast was buffet style and the menu did not change much, but it was delicious, so I did not get tired even staying four nights. The location was not the best, but the hotel was reasonable with kind and helpful staff.
