Guest Reviews
- James (8/5): - Overall a good stay, only one hard pillow but staff happy to provide another, small details could improve stay, only one mirror in bathroom, no bin in room, could do with a deeper clean, for example shower head needed a descale, it wax slightly black. Also needed more light. Was quiet and pool area was nice
- Angela (4/5): - Overall I did not like the area. Also no towels to wash your face, only bath towels!!!!!!
- Robert (6/5): - I would rate the property much higher, except the shower water was cold during our whole stay :( we asked them to fix it, but unfortunately they didn't.
- Hannu (10/5): - Everything was great, Staff, friendly, helpful, Bo and Garfield, friendly and helpful, had couple minor issues in my room they sent someone right away to attend to it. Thanks..!
- Hannu (10/5): - Was great, clean comfortable, good location
- wook (10/5): 친절한 직원들 - 직원들이 참 친절했어요.
- Eldar (10/5): - The staff should get 6 stars. And a bonus. The property itself is very cozy and comfortable.
- Sharon (10/5): - Really nice people behind the desk!
- Veronica (8/5): - Lots of construction.
- Marc Munk (8/5): Good value for money. Bring your own hand soap. - Many people mentioned the good location. For us it was a bit too far out of the city center. Khaosan is really close so if you’re in to that kind the location is fantastic. Service, food, coffee excellent. Older hotel with lots of noise from the other rooms and especially the streets. We slept fine with earplugs as the beds are comfortable. A BIG minus is the missing hand soap from either of the two toilets in the mutual area and in the room. That is just straight up disgusting. We bought soap as the first thing upon our arrival.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Jeg og en veninne sov her i 5 netter. Vi elsket oppholdet. Hotellet er rent, pent og basseng området er en deilig oase å slappe av i midt i travle Bangkok. God beliggenhet med gangavstand til khao san road og mange ulike templer. De som jobbet der var veldig hjelpsomme, hyggelige og alltid tilstede. Hotellet virket trygt, rolig og alt i alt veldig bra. Jeg ville gjerne bodd her igjen om jeg skal tilbake til Bangkok. Ambefales på det sterkeste. Det eneste er at sengen er litt hard, men ikke noe som er veldig problematisk.
- Maria (10/5): - Op loopafstand van het centrum van Bangkok, nette schone kamers vriendelijk personeel en service
- Ellen (10/5): - This hotel is amazing! Exactly how you would picture medium price hotel/villa in the heart of Bangkok. You're in walking distance to a lot of the important things. Do you want to say. Also, I took a bus from the airport to stop and it drop me off a block From the hotel for only ฿50! That's basically $1.50. Staff are super friendly room is beautiful typical amenities great view.
- HYOUNG WOO (10/5): 방콕숙소는 무조건 여기! - 프론트를 지나면 비밀의 공간 같은 아름다운 전경이 펼쳐지고 수영장과 수영장을 둘러싼 작은 정원이 큰 강점인 숙소입니다. 물론 룸 컨디션도 아주 좋구요. 카오산로드도 도보로 쉽게 갈 수 있는 위치입니다. 근방에 세븐일레븐도 있고 맛집도 많습니다. 무엇보다도 친절한 스텝들 덕에 참 좋은 기억으로 여행을 마쳤습니다. 다음 방콕 여행때도 무조건 여기서 묵을겁니당:)
- Jasper (10/5): - Your ideal hideaway in the middle of Bangkok. The staff is extremely friendly and it’s amazing to refresh at the pool before, between and after activities,
- Johann (8/5): - Still a very nice place to stay. It’s a bit more crowded and packed ever since they added rooms. Coffee is great. That said, breakfast is a bit overpriced.
- Atsushi (10/5): - プールがもう少し大きければ、 もっと満足度は高かったです。
- Gael (6/5): Hôtel correct mais accueil assez limite - L'hôtel était propre et agréable. Espace piscine cosy et possibilité de prendre un verre et le petit déjeuner sur place. Notre chambre donnait sur la rue. Pas de gros problème de bruit mais balcon pas franchement agréable du coup. Et de toute façon sans chaise... On déplorera tout de même vraiment un personnel à l'accueil sans grande amabilité et qui n'a su prodigué aucune suggestion de restauration à proximité le jour où nous sommes arrivés et souhaitions rester proche. On nous a même envoyé vers la mauvaise gare routière le surlendemain pour que nous réservions notre ticket de bus... Un peu les boules de payer le taxi et de passer un temps infini dans les bouchons pour rien...
- Dominic (10/5): - Friendly staff. Nice common areas. Quiet canals to walk on behind the property. Close to the tourist areas. Good selection of beers in the lobby from around the world. Didn't try the breakfast as there were many options in the area
- Christian (10/5): Ruhig und doch zentral. Ein Schmuckstück - Wir hatten hier einen großartigen Aufenthalt. Wir waren 2 Nächte dort um "in Thailand anzukommen". Großes, sehr schönes Zimmer, zwar zur Straße hin aber das hat kaum gestört. Der begrünte Innenhof mit Pool ist traumhaft schön und eine wahre Oase inmitten der Stadt. Zur kao San road sind es 5 bis 10 Minuten zu Fuß. Es ist ruhig und doch zentral. Sehr freundliches Personal. Sehr gepflegt. Klare Empfehlung!
- Juha (10/5): Helmi Bagokissa - Ihana, tyylikäs hotellu
- Stuart (8/5): - Nicw place stayed a few time would always go back . Clean ,tidy , good location for me and comfy
- Julien (8/5): Avis mitigé - Bel hôtel dans le centre historique de Bangkok mais les déplacements sont peu pratiques puisque le métro est assez loin. Le Petit-déjeuner n'est pas en buffet et il est en supplément. Beaucoup de monde de passage donc les hôtesses d'accueil sont toujours occupés...
- P (4/5): - Personal bis auf eine freundliche Mitarbeiterin bei der Abreise eher gelangweilt und unaufmerksam. Hotel sehr laut. Türen fallen laut ins Schloß, was einen nachts aufweckt. Sehr hellhörig. Im Vergleich zu früher keinen Flair mehr.
- Pamela (6/5): Not awesome - I’d recommend looking elsewhere if you can. Bangkok is HOT— and the hotel turns your room’s power (including AC) off when you take your key card out of the slot that turns the power on. The AC unit isn’t strong enough to cool for hours after you return. Additionally we kept getting wafts of sewage. Last, The balcony off the street wasn’t very usable because it’s super busy loud street – – and not very interesting to look out over.
- Jessica (10/5): Antique oasis - A unique and quiet oasis. Beautiful decor and authentic Thai design.
- Neresa (10/5): fantastic hotel - Gorgeous comfortable rooms in a very central location
- Raniel (8/5): Solid place for a quiet Bangkok stay - Stayed here during our honeymoon, and we enjoyed our stay! In a centrally located area near Khao San Road (about 5min walk), but still far enough to have some peace and quiet. The surrounding is safe, and has a great restaurants on the corner. There's also a few laundromats and many barbershops nearby (in case you need a fresh fade haircut). The hotel staff is very nice, attentive, and made us feel valued. The hotel room was a bit small, but still nice and comfortable. The shower floor tended to flood the rest of the bathroom, think it was due to subpar drainage. However, the wifi was strong, and they kept everything nice and tidy. The bottom floor entryways had a cool and unique key access feature. Overall, we'd recommend this place for a more quiet stay in Bangkok.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The place was very cozy and it made me feel like a little resort in the middle of Bangkok. However, the location was not really a tourist spot so it was quite most of the time.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Czysto,cicho,mila obsluga,dobre sniadania.Polecam 100%.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I loved everything about this place. From the Thai-style bedroom to the amazing shower, I loved it all. The price made it even better. It’s close to night markets, stores, food and entertainment.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very nice place, with confortable rooms and nice bathroom. Excellent breakfast and very good location. Clean. A very good value for money place. Wifi sometimes didn't work so good, but overall is highly recommended to stay here.
- AnneS (8/5): - The room and bathroom were clean. The room was comfortable to be in. It was a bit far from the nearest station, but is walking distance to the riverboat, except that I wasn't sure what to do to get onto the boat or if I would know when to alight, and I was rushing for a dinner appointment.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This is my fourth visit to this hotel. I like it and find its location very convenient. The hotel is in a contemporary style with polished concrete and bare walls. Most rooms have a balcony. The shower is large and powerful. Tea and coffee making facilities were provided in our room. On this visit, the breakfast was served in the reception lobby rather than the front room. I thought that this was much better as you can enjoy being outside without the noise of the traffic.
- THU TRAM (8/5): A nice boutique hotel in the old city - The hotel has a old beautiful Chinese style and it is not too big so it was simple and nice. The hotel is in the old city and very closed to Khao San Road, so it was convenient to walk around. The breakfast was good. And the shower has strong pressure. Everything was good except for the noise from the street at night which was too loud. I could not really sleep. If you book a room here, make sure you have the room facing inside the hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful but I did not understand how could a hotel like this not have some spare pillows for guests. We asked for 2 more pillows and the staff just said they did not have any pillows.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - La habitación muy bonita y limpia , el hotel con muy buena ubicación para llegar caminando al mercado nocturno
- Vibhav (8/5): Great place to stay - Amazing location, gr8 staff..but feel a lot overpriced for the services it offer
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A return visit for us. We enjoy the location, close to the Democracy Monument. Complimentary breakfast provided with a reasonable choice. The reluctance to provide more than one key card is a it of a problem.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great hotel. Staff was extremely nice and helpful. Room was large, clean, modern and very comfortable. Would definately stay again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very nice property. Wifi could be slow at times. Loved having a hot shower!
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Clean beddings. Very hard, uncomfortable bed. I get back pain everyday. Great location. Very old hotel situated around old buildings. Very close to Khaosan road. I get mosquitos bites all over. I wouldn't stay here again.
- Joshua (10/5): - Amazing staff and wonderful location. The hotel does not have a pool or gym, but the friendly common areas make for good vibe. Good onsite restaurant with wonderful food carts just outside and a 711 down the block. Lighting in the rooms is somewhat ackward but beds are comfortable and house clean is top notch. We would certainly stay again should we return to Bangkok.
- Julie (10/5): Great location friendly staff - This place was amazing. The staff went out of their way to help us. Spoke great English and so friendly and helpful. Hotel is located within walking distance to most everything and we felt safe walking home from Kosan road at 2am. Beds were comfortable and rooms clean. Coffee place next door and food vendors all with amazing food. Highly recommend it!
- Mark (8/5): modern minimalistic decor and generally clean - PROS - Bathroom and room are both spacious and generally clean - no sharp or tight corners so no risk of hitting your toes - Lots of floor spaces for backpacks, big suitcases - Long TV console provides ample counter-top spaces for wallets, watches, spectacles, cups, phones, jewelery and other small items - Grohe tap, and good quality local brand handheld shower and mixer, Rainfall shower available too. Water pressure is excellent. - hotel is environmentally conscious, only has one dustbin per room (placed in toilet), can see many old furniture pieces throughout which adds to the character of the premise CONS - Lack of hangers and sockets in room, - sound proofing between rooms/corridors virtually non-existent - WiFi is rather slow - Hanging lamp placed just beside the bed/pillow is very very dusty, needs to be wiped else it will be unhealthy for guests to breathe in dust while sleeping TIPS - bring your own slippers as cement floors can get very cold with aircon turned on - don't lose keycard else you will forfeit your THB 1000 deposit - taxi fares and Grab fares are hefty if you travel between Emquartier/Emporium/Central Embassy/MBK/Gaysorn/Paragon areas and the hotel frequently
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Very rundown area, hotel is clean, very small basic room but nice bed
- Anthony (4/5): Very rude staff... - The place is lovely, convenient, quiet and very comfortable, its a shame that 1 staff let the place down, the girl who dealt with us at check out was terribly bad mannered, utterly rude, for this reason i wouldn't stay there again, it was a last impression of the place, great shame really....
- Anthony (10/5): Nice place - The place was very nice. The room and building was in very nice condition. The breakfast was also very nice. The staff were also helpful. The only thing is that it was a little hard to find. Very nice place though.
- Vipul (10/5): Excellent hotel near Grand Palace, Khao San area - We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and booked 2 rooms for our family of 4. The hotel is like a hidden gem and located in a busy market area. From outside, it's easy to miss but once in, it's a pleasant surprise to see how they have decorated this hotel with so much thought and care for the comfort of the travelers. Rooms are good size and quite modern. Staff is friendly and helped us a lot. In particular, Uno (Neung) was so helpful to explain various excursions and helped us to book taxi, tuk tuk and explained the directions to market, ferry, etc.
- Steve (8/5): Great location. Staff so friendly :-) - Prices were ok. Good location for sure. Excellent staff. Always friendly and helpful.
- Ebba (10/5): - Lovely hotel. Friendly staff. Felt safe as key card access to the hotel and rooms.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Hidden gem - Close to Khao San Rd but far enough to avoid noise and hubbub. Hotel is small but comfortable with excellent beds, wonderful bathrooms, all very clean. Breakfast has three or four choices with great coffee. The service was very good. They helped us arrange airport taxis as well.
- Anja (10/5): Really quirky but slick hotel :) - Love the Villa Phra Sumen! Great modern, quirky hotel with friendly staff and a great breakfast :) The rooms were really nice and it was just off the main road so it felt pretty quiet even though it is so near to Khao San Road.
- Flora (10/5): Great boutique hotel - Great little hotel in a perfect location to explore old Bangkok. We stayed here with our kids (9&11) and enjoyed everything from the great breakfast options to the friendly staff. We could walk to Khao San in 8 minutes, temples or the adorable Kitty Cat Cafe. Would definitely Recommend this place and stay here again!
- Jus (8/5): Excellent location to majority of sights. - We loved our stay here. The hotel is beautiful and the staff cannot do enough for you. Our room was clean and tidy and over looked the canel. Tuk Tuks are so cheap to get everywhere and taxis even cheaper. Walking distance to the river for the river taxi. Very happy. The kids would have preferred a swimming pool as it was so hot but nothing Anyone can do about that. They survived. X
- Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent location! Wonderful staff! - Great location. Easy access to Khaosan and the river. Street is somewhat busy but the second you step into the compound, it's lovely and relaxing. Rooms were very comfortable and the staff went above and beyond. They were so friendly and helpful!
- Bruce (8/5): Ok for a couple nights - The people were very friendly and helpful. They spoke english well. The bed was firm but ok. Room is small but clean.The a/c worked well until about 3 am and then it poured alot of water on the floor which woke us up. We had to shut it off for about an hour and then it was fine again. Happened both nights. The location was ok but the neighbourhood was a bit dirty. Bus stops right in front of hotel.
- Anibal Rafael (10/5): Boutique - Awesome
- Ian (10/5): Nice hidden gem - Great location near Khosan Road. Hotel staff friendly and due to our early flight even arranged a packed breakfast. Would recommend.
- MXB (8/5): Minimalist design, clean rooms, excellent service - Things I liked: - Staff: Excellent service, friendly, attentive, - Design: The rooms and courtyard had a minimalist design, very clean, quiet, and calm - Breakfast: The free breakfast was excellent: fast service, delicious, perfect Things I didn't like: - Location: It's a perfect location for people who want to visit the tourist sites (temples, Grand Palace, Khao San Road, etc), but it's far from public transportation so it was difficult to get to other parts of the city without taking a taxi/tuktuk/Uber. This is why I gave it 4 stars out of 5. Otherwise it was 5 stars.
- Blake (10/5): Small hotel with huge amenitie - From check-in the hotel staff were amazing. The facilities were better then expected. The room felt very new and clean. Modern and great decor. Our package included breakfast which was delicious. Highly recommend the green curry! The hotel also offered a free tuk tuk service to Grand Palace. Within walking distance to the "walking street" the hotel is in a great quite location but close to everything you need. The staff went above expectations and the hotel felt very secure.
- jeff (10/5): Lovely hotel - We stayed in both the thai style rooms beside the canal and tbe more modern rooms. The rooms beside the canal were, spacious and beautiful. The modern rooms were more functional but also nice. The staff were pleasant and helpful, snd very nice. Overall the place is an oasis in bangkok, centally located yet a bit off the hustle and noise of kao san road. .
- Th (8/5): Nice hotel close to a lot of sightseeing spots. - Breakfast could have more various types of bread (not only sandwich) and two different cheese (no processed one) would make the breakfast one level higher. Staff was very very friendly and helpful. Did provide good information.
- Karen (8/5): Worth the money ... - Staff were all very professional and polite. Good choice at breakfast. Rooms nice and roomy. Big showers. WiFi ok, a little temperamental at times. Good location, 15 minute walk to Khao San Road...
- lorin (10/5): new years 2018 - very helpful staff. great location
- taryn (10/5): Modern and clean, great location - I really enjoyed this hotel in old Bangkok. It was clean and modern, featuring the best shower and one of the best beds I came across in over 3 weeks in Thailand. The staff were friendly, helpful and easy to communicate with in English. There was also always a security person at the door who would often assist with hailing a taxi. The location was good, on a relatively quiet street but walking distance to a number of attractions such as the Grand Palace and Koh San road. As a solo female traveller I felt safe walking around on my own in the area, even after dark. The hotel is not located on either the skytrain or metro lines, but was a relatively quick ride away (traffic dependent, of course). It seemed to be challenging for taxi drivers to find, even with the instruction card provided by the hotel. I really enjoyed my time here, and would not hesitate to choose this location again.
- Jen (8/5): good and bad points - Good points - friendly and obliging staff . Good breakfast . Room OK and fitted room safe very good near to Khao San road and market Negative points - noisy room on the road - motorbikes at night (should have fitted double glazing ) . Useless balcony due noise / street, not near an MRT station and taxi can get stuck in traffic going to MRT. no shops/shopping centers near . No movie channels on TV .
- Leon (10/5): Leon approved hotel. - Great hotel, loved the location and value. The staff was beyond helpful and the free breakfast was a treat.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Full marks- nearly - Location perfect for us. 15 min walk from Kohsan Rd . Other popular areas no more than 30 mins walk. We had garden room which was really quiet. Staff excellent. Bathroom/ shower very good. Breakfast very good. Highly recommended. Only criticism was Wi-Fi- great 1st day then hit and miss.
- Mariel (8/5): Nice Cozy Hotel, good location - The location is walking to the main attractions. The staff is very helpful, answering doubts and offering suggestions. In general we like it, the only comment is that the beds are hard martress.
- megan (8/5): Good position, lovely staff - This hotel is walking distance from the main backpacker street with lots of food and massage places. You can also walk down to the boat to go to the Grand Palace. The hotel staff are really helpful. They gave me a map and explained all the good things to see and do. They booked me an early morning trip to the train market and floating market and since I left before breakfast they packed me a sandwich, drink box and banana. Thanks Mai, I really enjoyed my stay!
- David (8/5): Could have been much better - Nice clean hotel with lots of features could be a lot better but ok,breakfast disapointing even though it was a cooked to order could have been a lot better
- Kevin (10/5): Clean friendly place to stay - Clean hotel with friendly Staff, a little bit outside of the main city area of Bangkok, however whilst taxis are cheap, be prepared to be stuck at n traffic jams getting to and from the main shopping areas, as Bangkok traffic and traffic jams are diabolical.
- ty (2/5): Awful Smell / Broken A/C - The room was extremely hot and the AC kept breaking down, the room also didn't have any ventilation and had a lingering smell of sewage - there was constant construction going on so the noise was awful and completely disturbed us during our stay. Be aware that the rooms will smell awful!!!!!
- Marielle (10/5): Excellent service - Even with the numerous options for guesthouses near Khao San Rd., I wouldn't hesitate to come back here again. Service was unbeatable, rooms were clean and modern, area was bustling.
- sydneyandy (10/5): Great hotel with the most helpful staff. - I really enjoyed my stay here. The hotel was in a great location. There was a free tuk tuk each morning to grand palace etc, The staff can organise tours for you, as well as call you metred taxis. All staff spoke near perfect English and nothing was too much trouble for them. They were always friendly and smiling. I would definately stay here again and would recommend it to anyone.
- Chaudhry (6/5): Not a modern hotel - No swimming pool no smoking in hotel premises no intercom in room balcony is v small in canal view rooms no chairs in balcony bad internet sheets change after 3 days staff good v cooperative breakfast gd
- Verified traveler (8/5): Has potential - Great location in up and coming artsy area of the Old Town. While the interiors are nice and modern, the room could've been better with a closet, more hangers, another trash bin. Bathroom had some defects like shower water seeping into the rest of bathroom.
- sara (10/5): Incredible stay! - We had an incredible stay. Everything was amazing, the location, courtyard which is a heavenly oasis amongst the hustle and bustle of Bangkok,rooms, cooked to order breakfast and most of all the staff. They went above and beyond to help us have an amazing stay. Maya and Nicky helped us the most but all the staff were incredible. They even stayed after their shift to say goodbye to us. The location is excellent and they have made it such a quiet and tranquil place that's a lovely escape from what is actually a very busy and centrally located area. You get the best of both worlds. I can't think of one even slightly negative thing to say about this place.
- michael (10/5): Very nice hotel. - Staff was excellent and very friendly. Breakfast was yummy and the location was an easy walk to attractions.
- Hugh (6/5): One night stay - Overnight stay to break flight and see city. Hotel was ok, I guess value for money as wasn't that expensive. Breakfast was also basic again same point in cost.
- Scott (8/5): Great location, best breakfast in Thailand hotels - Had a great experience at the Villa Phra Sumen. The staff was friendly and helpful, the rooms stylishly plain, with balconies overlooking a peaceful courtyard. It wasn’t apparent when booking the room online, but it’s situated on a canal, and actually has sling chairs perched canal-side that where you can lounge in relative peace and quiet, for Bangkok. The breakfast is really outstanding; the best we had during our 6 weeks in Thailand. All was good, but the Asian options were our favorites – the green curry and the terrific congee. The location was excellent for us. We were there as tourists, and it’s maybe a 15-20 minute walk to the lively and touristy Khao San district – which is close enough to partake if you’d like, but in a much more authentic seeming part of town. We took the hotel up on one of their daily free tuk tuks to the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, which took just 10 or 15 minutes. The nicest surprise was the canal boats, which we were unaware of before arriving in Bangkok. A 10-15 minute walk southeast from the hotel gets you to the most westerly boarding platform (Phanfa Bridge) on the north side of the canal, and quickly zips you across town to the east. It conveniently stops near the BTS station, MBK mall, and the Jim Thompson house. We used the canal boat nearly every day. Enjoyed our stay, and would recommend Villa Phra Sumen.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Close (enough) to Khao San Road - The hotel is close enough to Khao San Road, so that you can walk. They offer free tuk tuks to some of the attractions in the area They offer a taxi service as well. This is one of the better hotels that we stayed at in Thailand
- Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely hotel, convenient, excellent service - Lovely hotel, nice environment and clean room. Excellent customer service and the breakfast is awesome. Thanks to the guard, who will write down the taxi no. for further enquiries, and others cant get into the hotel either, feel so safe and free to stay in the room or lie down in the beautiful lobby. Anyway, a wonderful place, oh right, they have the free tuk tuk service could take you to the two of the famous temples.
- FEIXIA (10/5): Perfect! I'd highly recommend it! - It was one of my best hotel experiences. I have nothing to complain. We booked the family suite. The room was well decorated giving you a vintage thai feeling, and it was so spacious that you could literally put an extra mattress in the bathroom. The hotel staff was quite friendly: We had an early morning tour and we had the tour company called the hotel to confirm the schedule as our phone didn't work overseas. The staff came upstairs to inform us the schedule and asked if we'd need breakfast and they could prepare sandwich for us to take along with! It is also in a great location. Wat Saket and Khao Shan Road are within walking distance. They offered free tuk tuk that sent us right to the Grand Palace in 10 mins. There was a security guy at the front door, so we felt really safe staying there. It was quiet and peaceful inside too.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Clean and nice design. - Have one day stay in Bangkok, very nice and clean hotel. Very good servises and guarding, you feel safe. A bit noisy from the streets, but this is Bangkok, so no problem.
- george (8/5): - Mainly good but a fair bit of road noise
- Brenda (10/5): Nice hotel close to grand palace - My friends and I stayed for 3 nights. This hotel is nice and comfortable. The staff are extremely caring. Every uber or taxi driver my friends and I would take the security outside (Ken) would write down the license plate. When coming down the opposite side of the street during traffic, Ken would come out and stop traffic with his hand so we could cross. He definitely made me feel safe and cared for. Rooms were cleaned daily. Breakfast was included. Definitely a wonderful experience!
- Lauren (10/5): Great Value and Charm in a Convenient Location - We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Phra Sumen. The location was ideal, close to all the sites in the Old City yet off the beaten track a bit. The free tuk-tuk ride to the Grand Palace and Wat Pho were definitely a plus. The staff was friendly and we really liked the decor in our room. Great value for the money!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great for business or pleasure - This is a great hotel, modern, clean, wel desigbed and helpful english speaking staff. Was traveling with my boss and this place was perfect. The only drawback was that smokers have to go out in the street to smoke abd the wifi is not so strong in certain rooms.
- Alex (8/5): Good hotel. Location, staff, quiet (mostly) - This hotel is in a great location. Close to Khao San Road, easy to get to the river, but not too quiet - apart from the building site which is of course temporary. Great staff, nice quiet communal area. Clean.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Best hotel we stayed in Bangkok. It's a paradise, quite and with a real Thai feeling. Has a feeling of authentic Tahi decor. IT#s very close to the main tourist attractions at the same time of being very quiet. It also has a great street food area next to the canal, which allows you to see real Thailand. Highly recommended
- Alexandria (8/5): Convenient, tidy, and great coffee - The bed was a "king" but it was really two twins pushed together. The coffee at the location was fantastic and the fruit served at breakfast was great too. The staff was so helpful with our trip planning and really friendly.
- Talya (10/5): - Beautiful oasis in mid Bangkok. Traditional decor, friendly and very comfortable.
- Karim (8/5): Decent place to stay that is close to Khao San Rd. - This is an interesting property. It is located on a very busy street in a somewhat tense neighborhood, but the grounds are encased in huge concrete walls that give it a sense of privacy and quiet! The building and rooms are unusually constructed and decorated, concrete floors and walls with beautiful wood paneling designs that give it a very nice feel. The things that I did not like about it are slow internet, no room service, no smoking ANYWHERE on the property, the balconies are not very private, they require a cash deposit for the key and only give you one key even though two people were checking in. The things I liked about it are its secluded feel, the decor, the view from the room (overlooks a canal), a decent breakfast, its proximity to a bustling area known as Khao San Road along with a few quieter old Bangkok neighborhoods. All in all, it was not a favorite but given so few decent options in that part of Bangkok I will probably stay there again.
- Brian (10/5): Great hotel and breakfast - Great service, convenient location, and excellent breakfast.
- Kelly (8/5): A mini haven in Bangkok - We stayed here for five nights, overall we had a fantastic stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A very nice hotel and staff, very well located, a few blocks from Kao San Road but in a more quiet environment. Highly recommended.
- adam (10/5): - The staff here is amazing and made our stay more memorable with their warn welcome/sharing Loi Krathong with us!!
- sharon (10/5): - Quite marble in a chaotic lively area. Never disappointing. Clean and friendly. Super staff! :) :)
