Near Sompet Market hostel/hotel

This was a basic accommodation for a private room with two double beds. For the price and the AC it was worth it. Property is a little older and can’t really see much in the rooms as lighting is very poor. It is adjacent to a more boutique property where you can use the pool for $100 BHAT. Staff was helpful with my questions. I stayed mostly because of the area. Close to Sompet market. Lots of great local street food, funky cafes and other guesthouse. Fun to walk around and explore this area. If tight on budget and want to be in a fun area I would stay here again.

LaMer Hostel & Hotel, a good budget hotel

Good budget hotel, better than some standard hotels I’ve stayed in when I was in San Francisco. Keep in mind, this is a budget hotel! The location was fantastic. Great places to eat and the Somphet outdoor market just a few feet away was a great place to buy fruits. A 7-11 was close by, too. The hotels.com site states there’s free water bottles and toiletries. There was a sign in our room that stated water would be charged if we drank it, and the amenities were two hard rectangles of soap. If there was shampoo, conditioner or lotion available, we didn’t see it (or ask for it). The staff were very friendly, and offered advice when we asked about getting around.

Budget and convenient hostel

Stayed 7 nights in this hostel (not a hotel). After 10pm, no staff stayed there. Guests must enter from back door or get help from the adjacent Eurana hotel. Couldn't sleep well for two nights respectively due to the noise made by a later comer who kept knocking the main/back door loudly after midnight, and that made by the toads in the garden the whole night. But the staff are all very friendly and helpful.

BEDBUGS and the <anager Refused to Refund

Absolutely horrendous experience. As soon as I walked in I saw the room was in a grim state. There were stains on the comforter sheets, the walls had dark drippings from water, and the bathroom looked infectious. At 12 AM, I went to go to sleep, and when I lifted the top sheet, many bedbugs scurried away. I caught one in a ziplock bag to examine. Indeed it was a bedbug. There was no one in the hotel available to help. So we left at 2 AM to find a new place to stay. As I left the hotel I saw huge roaches scurry away in the walkway. The next day, I stopped by to ask the hotel staff for a refund. They refused. The manager was in Bangkok and told me she would give me a refund if I didn't leave a bad review. The staff was horrible. The receptionist told me that she wouldn't give me my key deposit refund because I had to come back and return the key during the scheduled check-out time, instead of a day early. I told her I already left and she told me she wouldn't give me the keys still, until the day that I'm supposed to leave. I called the tourist police and finally she had to give me back the deposit, but refused to refund me for the night's stay. She and the manager behaved horrendously and unethically. Thankfully, Expedia gave me back a refund in the end. Avoid this place at all costs. I have much more recordings, photos, and videos of everything I've said if anyone needs proof.

Easy walk to temples and riverside

Good value for money and conveniently located for visiting the temples. My room was facing the backward so it was nice and quiet. Room amenities very limited so it's best you bring your own. Stayed for 1 night only so it was ok.

Basic but convenient and great location

I only stayed there for one night (stop-over) but given the price, it did the job. The location is great, the staff was helpful. The room was ok in terms of size and cleanliness. No fridge which was a bit annoying and the TV wasn't working properly. The bathroom is quite small and everything gets wet once you've had a shower. The walls are quite thin - I was lucky that the other people who stayed there were quiet but I can easily imagine it to be noisy. Good wifi and the restaurant part of the hotel serves good food at very reasonable price.

Good value, decent overall quality.

It's supposed to be a hostel, but I had my own big private room so it didn't feel as one at all. The location is ideal, next to many shops, the fruit market, the ring Road and as a bonus all the clubs are only 300 meters away! Staff were nice and very helpful like with my laundry and when I checked out at 4 am! Other fellow travelers staying in were very friendly too so it looks like the hotel has good vibes. Very silent... I finally slept like a baby in there there! I will definitely recommend it!

Cheap and convenient.

Needed a short stay that was central before heading back to Bangkok, we were able to use the pool at the hotel behind which was good to take the edge off the heat. Our room was quite dark and the window was right next to the eating area but not really an issue. Cheap and convenient.

Great location!

We stayed at Lamer Hostel for one week and our favorite part was the location. It's easy to walk to most all of the temples, through back streets and quiet alleys. The room is basic, but was cleaned every day by friendly staff and was quiet and comfortable.

good location, budget and convenient choice

Location is good, many local food & restaurants, tasty and inexpensive. Somphet market is just outside the street, a lot of fresh fruit and seem costs cheaper at about 7-8pm before closing. Near Tha Pae gate is very convenient for tourists, but here is not busy as Tha Pae area, not noisy have a better sleep. If feel bored, want to escape from this tourism atmosphere, just walk outside to the main road, choose a shop, rent a nice motorbike, drive to anywhere as you want and go back to this base at night. The most unbeatable point is here can still enjoy a lot of nice local food during mid-night.

Great little find. Huge room, basic, very clean, quiet area, but still in the old city and close to everything. Lots of nice little cafes, restaurants and massage salons on the road beside it. Extended my stay I enjoyed it so much. If you want somewhere cheap and comfortable this place is perfect. 100% recommend!

Nice Hostel Great Location

Our stay there was really good. The hostel is located in a small street plenty of small restaurants and cafes. The vibe there was really cool and calm. We went walking to all of the touristic places of the city with no problem. The staff was really nice. The hostel does not have a swimming pool but you can pay to access one next to the hostel.
