New Siam 2

The hotel is a guest house located near the river and Kaosan area. We booked it due to the position and we really wanted a pool, as it's nice to have a dip after a hot Bangkok day. We had 2 rooms and they were fine for what we paid. Each had private bathrooms, A/C and a safe. The beds weren't great, but we did sleep well. The pool was excellent. The lobby atmosphere was what we really liked: with many hotels they are very "hotel like", i..e quiet lobby that you use to pass through, however this was much more like I remember my backpacking days, as the lobby was open all around, with a restaurant and front desk, pool, taxis and all. For us it was what we were looking for.
Would we stay again? For the budget, yes. If we wanted to splash out double, the hotel next door had more class but less atmosphere, in what we were looking for. If I took my parents to BkK, I'd put them in the hotel next door :-)

A nice hotel/guesthouse in the old city center of Bangkok for Thailand prices. From here you walk within 2 minutes to Khao San Road. The room was clean and the pool offers a nice way to cool down during the heat waves during the day. The staff is also friendly and speaks understandable English

Great hotel. Very reasonable price. Close to kaosan and the boat bus to palace and center. The swimming pool is a great plus after a hot day visiting. Only minus point is that the terraces are not really accessible in some rooms.

What a lovely hotel, clean and with super comfy beds. Great value for money. The restaurant in the hotel opposite has wonderful views of the river and some fantastic food too. I highly recommend it.

This is the cheaper brother of the hotel on the opposite side of the street. I like this hotel more than the more luxurious one. There are less amenities in the room, for example no water cooker. The room was clean and the aircon was working properly. The hotel is also close the the Chao Praya river boat which makes it easy to take the boat to many tourist locations and big shopping centers.

It's a nice enough hotel, the rooms were clean and specious, the shower/toilets small room was practical, air-conditioning worked well, the beds were ok ( typical hard mattress that you get in Thailand - for the life of me I don't understand why torture yourself)
Very close to the Khaosan road -less than 5m, they have local laundry service for 70Bhat for 1K, but 1m walk from the hotel you have 24/7 laundromat for 130Bhat including dryer.
There are various restaurant near and a lovely Teahouse called petite Soleil (no food) , we also had a real treat buffet breakfast (350Bhat per person ) across the road at the Riva Surya Bangkok.

This is the place you come to rest your head and drop your luggage so don't get your hopes high.
But it's clean, comfortable, the Aircon is working and you have a safe in the room.

Saying all that, however.. there is a lovely pool and from what I see various western food options for breakfast and your local Thai dishes and coffee in the main entrance (it's all open garden style -no Aircon)
So all in all it's a 5 stars for what it is,but it's a 2-3 stars hotel at best.
