Bangkok hotels near National Theatre Bangkok

Location and that it was clean en cheap! Tha staff is terrible! Unfriendly and this in Thailand, one of the most friendliest country in the world! Most of them are unwilling to help and speak poorly english. But it is cheap and clean and that is more important.

The roof-top pool was nice, decent breakfast buffet. The staff was very unfriendly and rude, not helpful at all. Part of the hotel does not have elevator service. The first room they tried to stick me in was a 3rd floor noisy walk-up. The room looked old and unkept. I tried to get another room but the receptionist claimed all rooms were booked, (she was not professional at all). I decided I wanted my money back, but she said I had to pay for one full night if I canceled. I asked to speak to the manager who wasn't there. She called the manager and I told her I wasn't happy with the current situation. They finally found a small pint size room on the 5th floor with an elevator, but I still found the room to be old and tired looking (AC didn't work properly). I stayed the night and put up with lots of noise due to the bad acoustics in the hallway, and bathrooms that vent into the hallway which cause more noise, stink, and humidity. (I didn't get any type of compensation for moving into a smaller 1/4 of the size room) The next morning (2nd night) they moved me into a large room on the other side of the building, which I found clean. AC, TV worked fine. Unfortunately again the hallways were very noisy, other guests were loud. I would skip this place if your looking for a good nights sleep. Your definitely not going to get it unless you drink a case of beer. Cheers!

location is good, quick check in and check out, cleanliness of room, quiet night air conditioning didn't work

the place was very clean for the four days we stayed. The room did not get cleaned during this time but i'm sure if we asked for new sheets it would have been provided. Ignore other comments that toilet roll and fresh towels can't be found, simply ask nicely at reception. The pool is a very big bonus and it was nice not to be staying on Khao San Road.

swimmingpool; international lelevision; incheck and outcheck takes too much time

Staff wasn't pleasant

Location and convenience of nearby facilities The staff weren't as friendly as I remember them being from last time (Summer 2007)

Free internet via WIFI is good.

The hotel has balkony with a view to Chao Praya. Location is also very good. Breakfast was really good and the you can have it on a terrace which has a view to the river. Hotel staff couldn't speak well in English.

Nice restaurant facing the river. The description of the room as "City View" is very misleading. Should have been "Slum View". It was very noisy and the view was of a depressed slum. We had to keep the curtains on to avoid seeing the outside and the people from the building across the street seeing into our room.

The Hotel is too noisy because of the Mulligan's pub which is owns by the same owner of Buddy !!! Don't pay the normal price, you would feel ripped off and don't choose the rooms which are oriented to Mulligan'S. In addition, the breakfast is not good.

Not much to be honest. The air con was very poor.The sheets felt damp.The view was of a wall.The staff tried to get commission for setting us up with a tailor when it was us who were asking where it was.The breakfast was appalling.

Roof top pool is very good Situated in an exciting part of Bangkok

The location,in center of Koh San Road, the swimming pool on the roof, the breakfast is excellent, wifi access only 60baht per hour check out at noon unless pay half room fee to check out at 19.00 - very expensive

The sheets on the beds were stained, as were the towels. Staff at the front desk were not friendly at all.

I didn't like the room, no hairdryer, old linen and towels, loudy air conditioner, reception wasn't friendly nor helpfull, no internet connection, my room was not cleaned during my stay. Definitely will never stay again or recommend to anybody as well.

None Claustrophobic. No outlook from rooms. Highly overpriced. My opinion based on staying in similiar priced hotels in Bangkok and other se countries. Probably by a factor of 2

quiet and conveniental location; comfortable bed; considerate boss and warm reception. The bath room is too small. If you use WIFI in the room, you must open the door or sit close to the door. It is better to serve sugar bag instead of sugar bowl because I found ants in the sugar bowl in the canteen.

Front desk and tour sales staff were awesome!! The location was great, the breakfast decent and the pool was ok. We moved rooms twice. Once because someone smoke before us and second because we woke up to red ants on us.

Hotel was affordable, clean, had a pool and in a great location for those wanting to stay in the Khao San area. Hotel was noisy at night due to nightlife in Khao San (even though I was in a room at the back of the hotel). 1000 Baht cash deposit irritating.

Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Location was close to the touristy places like grand palace, Buddha statues, and temples. I was unaware that the location would be hippy central for all the white people suffering their post-grad life crises. Lots of weathered westerners trying to look like they wished they looked in college. Weird place. Far from the heart of Bangkok, and far from the normal Thai people, and far from the train system. Not good if you are trying to get real Thai experience. Good if you want to be surrounded by white Europeans with dreads and broken dreams.

clean I checked in about 10:30pm on 27/8/2010, nextday request to check out 1 hr late at 1pm also not allowed- not flexible

hotel is right in the thick of tourist bangkok,a nice hotel for a couple of nights!!

The hotel is ok, swiming pool is also ok. The only problem is the noise, but thats what you get on Kaosan Road. Rooms are a bit small (even the top one)
