I had booked this hotel through the travel agent and had gone through a nightmarish experience. 1. The hotel is most dirty, even we spotted a live lizard underneath our bed and I had to run out of the room in fear, that's the level of their pest control. 2. There were 0 bathroom emenities on the day of our arrival, when I complained my travel agent, the next day they gave a shampoo and bodywash. Nothing else. Even a middle category hotel gives us a shower cap, ear buds etc along with a complete bathroom kit. 3. The staffs are most misbehaved, they only throw fake smiles that vanish in seconds and are least helpful when asked for any local information. They don't understand English properly. 4. We where being told by the front office on arrival that breakfast timing is from 6-10.30. As we were damn tired, next day we entered the cafe around 9.45. The cafe waitress was most indecent and told us that we have only 10 minutes to finish up grab whatever is possible. When we went up, the only items left for consumption was coffee (which had turned cold), sticky rice, 2-3 pieces of stale bread, few tomato slices and few spinach leaves. When we asked the waiter for some eggs he told it's over and also put off all the lights in the dining area making us feel like buggers who had just barged in to feed from their leftovers. 5. There was NO HOT WATER during our entire stay at the hotel. 6. There was no centrally AC and the AC we had only made an area of 2-3 feet cold, rest the entire room use to be too hot during day time. 7. Wi-Fi was pathetic, we had to give passwords again and again to connect to the network but got no luck. Mostly there was a failure in connection. 8. There was no person to take your luggage to the room and you had to drag them all they way up. 9. The lift is so small in area that it can hardly accommodate 3 person at a time that too very inconveniently. 10. The bed sheets were stained and they never changed it on continues requests from us. 11. The washroom was so small that we had to get bumped into the commode (which was awefully situated at the middle of the washroom) each time we passed form the basin to the shower area. 12. Next day when we went on time, and saw the breakfast spread ,we couldn't stop laughing at the pathetic order and the minimum meagre arrangements made by them. Every day they serve the same old items which are more like a meal we get at a poor household (no personal attacks meant. Even when I showed the waiter that the pepper disposer was over and I need some pepper, he went away with the empty disposer and never came back with a refill. Overall we felt our entire money had been wasted by this pathetic choice of hotel and they had almost left a black patch on the most special trip of my life and I am never ever gonna forget this experience and will advice everyone to stay at least a 1000 metres away from this pathetic place, full of misbehaving, unwelcoming and unprofessional staffs.
Great location, comfy rooms, nice breakfast and lovely staff. I asked for a nice room, because it was my last night in Asia and they have me a room on the 6th floor with a nice view to the city and the king size bed. Thank you so much! Only good memories and totally recommend for anyone!
Smooth check in, no deposit was required.quite busy small hotel. nice location, smiling girl on reception. location is very convenient. breakfast is simple , but clean and nice. definitely recommend for 1-2 nights stay at Bangkok.
I had booked online for 3nights n found the hotel room was a bit small, the front desk doesn't seems to be very helpful to customers. It's away from the main center like MBK, siam n etc n there is nothing near the hotel area except for one 7eleven. If u use the MRT from near hotel it's better to escape the time from the traffic n huge fares of taxi, uber. Later I shifted my hotel.
The location it's really good, close to Makkasan airport link station and to MRT. Hotel really nice and clean. Rooms are pretty new furnished, the aircond work well and it's not noisy at all. Staff it's really kind, and you have a 7/11 right at the base floor
Very good for the price that we paid. Don't expect perfect bathrooms and floorings but at least they are neat and decent. Free breakfast was fine. Good enough to fill you. The toilet can still be improved but overall, I get it - it's affordable and decent.
D varee Xpress.. name is big.. xpress means fast i think so.. bt d problem is room service is disaster.. hotel is ok. Near bus stop for Prathunam.. got easily..Tuk tuk.. or taxi.. 3 to 4 kilometer from the main market for shopping better avoid if u going to shop everyday.. Look for a better hotel in d market.. like Baiyoke 1 or khurana inn or many other u got Halal food there near this area.. Called Prathunam.. Al Sana restuarant.. very gud food indian ,pakistani and thai food and . For veg food there ia lot vegeterian restuarant, South indian restuarant Before u book hotel check the area specially..
Stayed for 3 nights. Decent place but, the hospitality leaves a lot to be desired. Did not have breakfast for 2 days. Just one of the days, went for breakfast (which I had paid for in the room rate) but, there was no vegetarian dish at all. On speaking to the chef, she said that is all they have. No courtesy to see if they could help in any way. I asked for some fruits and they said I would have to pay extra. Not happy with the way they handled the situation.
Clean and simple room. Modern furnishing and deco. Walkable distance to MRT and then changing to BTS to get to Siam area. Value for money for budget travellers. The room's lighting was a little dim and more lighting would be better!
This is below average hotel. The ;location is though ok, but has very poor connectivity to all activities. There is nothing in walking distance. MRT is the only option. The room is adequate, but very basically furnished. No storage cupboard. The TV has very poor international content. Bathroom needs upgrading. The CP fitting was loose. The window has broken frame. They had no city map. The only saving grace was the the decent front staff. Worst experience was at breakfast time. The serving dishes were taken off at closing time , unmindful of sitting guests. Instead of turning away late arrivals at breakfast time, removing dishes for already dining guests was in very bad taste. I would not recommend this hotel, if some one cares for good service.
