Live Local

I was glad I found this hotel. The room was small, but everything was tidy and clean. I chose a bunk bed room for two people. It was on the ground floor. No window. But, there were two bathrooms. No fighting over who would take a shower first. The room was next to the stairs to the upstairs rooms. Sometimes it could be a bit noisy when other guests were going up. My consideration for picking this place, besides the location, was its classic style. The facilities in the room were also complete. I got hot water, a fridge, hair and body soap, a hairdryer and a TV, but no cable TV, so you will watch local channels only. There was only one pillow per bed. And, it was too flat. Felt like sleeping withouth pillow at all. But still, I could say the hotel was worth the money. The location was very close to Wat Mangkon MRT station. Very easy for me to get here from Don Mueang Airport, by taking SRT then MRT. Carrying a big luggage was not a big deal, since the path was flat to the hotel. I guessed it only took 5 minute-walk from the MRT station to this place. You can reach China Town in the same amount of time by walking. The lady who welcomed us was super friendly. She always smiled. A deposit of THB 500 was needed. You will get it back when checking out. This receptionist only stays from 10 am to 6 pm, following the operation hours of the cafe. So, if you need to check-out very early in the morning, like me, you have to tell her in advance. So, she can pay the deposit back and check your room a day before. The same thing goes to when you need to check-in late in the evening, you need to let them know. Otherwise, you will not be able to enter the hotel. It is locked if the cafe is outside of business hours. Due to the limited number of staff, do not expect they will clean your room everyday. They also only gave me two 600-ml water bottles on the first night. No more on the second and third night. I also didn’t get any toothbrush. I did not ask, so I'm not sure whether they just forgot to provide it. But, no worries, you can find many 7/11’s around. Anyway, you have to try the coffee and smoothie at the cafe. I ordered an iced americano. It was light and refreshing, but could keep me away from sleepiness. My sister ordered an Orange Sunrise, basically an orange smoothie. It was very nice. They used frozen oranges.

Really recommend to stay here for a few days to get in touch with the local life, the room was pretty Thai style and does gave us a comfortable stays for 3 night, around the hotel also have convenience stores and foods stalls!
