If you want a beach style kind of vibe in the centre of Bangkok and want to pay low rates, this is the place, friendly staff, good views, cheap beer and close to the action, a lil hard to find but nothing google maps can't sort! I'll either stay here or at my friends place...unless I win the lottery then... More

Friendly staff and good central location. The neighborhood gives you a new view of Bangkok. Lots of plastic and a wooden boardwalk takes you to the guesthouse. It was absolutely not easy to find. But the locals showed us the way. This guesthouse has a creative more bohemian vibe and is probably not suited for tourists looking for a standard... More

Charming guesthouse for a low price, clean rooms, towels, friendly staff. Location was perfect, nearby the Khoa San Road area. Do not be misguided by the way towards to guesthouse, the first time you will think you are in a bad neighborhood, but this is absolutely not true.

It is basic and cheap but has a lot more Heart and a lot better vibe than a lot of more expensive places i have visited. You are right on the river front... More

My first time visit (It was on October) I stayed for 5 nights and the second time I back in Bangkok I definitely come back... More

We stayed here a couple of nights while passing through Bangkok. It was moreso a place for us to leave our bags and maybe catch a couple of hours sleep before making the 10 minute walk over to Khaosan Rd. It's not an easy place to find and is down some quite pokey laneways, but the view at the river... More
