Ok, I only stayed one night here , let me list the positives;
Very clean room, the linens are amazing quality on the bed, very comfy pillows; nice little kitchen on the ground floor, staff is very friendly
The not so good parts, to explain, I spend a lot of time in BkK and this was a last minute day trip, my usual places were full, so I chose Red Pin. The room cost $45 which by BkK standards should be in the $25 range, if not lower
Reasons, it is a not easy 22 walk to the nearest BTS station, including 2 overhead pedestrian crossing, think lots of steps, hard with luggage, ( I had none ); taxis from BTS? This area is notoriously traffic gridlocked
There is nothing close by to appeal to visitors, the malls are about 20 minute walk, no restaurants, bars etc close by under 20 minutes
Room: very small, no window, no safe box, no hangers, just some hooks, thin walls, nearby construction rules out any naps
With a little pre planning a room for $45 can get you center downtown, minimum minute walk to BTS, restaurants and bars, also the rooms are usually twice the size of Red Pin, and have safety box, closets, hangers, ironing board etc, kettle in room and a complete shower
Conclusion, if despairing you can stay here, but I feel given the location, difficult access, lack of anything close by makes the $45 charge for this place an example of complete overcharge
