Okay, I stayed here on my very first visit to Bangkok in March 2007 for its proximity to Kaosan Road (without being actually on Kaosan). Its a cute boutique style hotel with modern rooms. I have to agree with one of the other reviewers, the hotel website does make the place look a bit better than it is in reality.... more

We stayed in a deluxe room for two nights. The room was cosy, clean, the staff were very friendly and the breakfast was fine too. The only thing against this hotel was that there is no elevator. I would stay there next time! more

For our third visit to BKK, my husband and I wanted to stay in a reasonably priced, clean, somewhat modern hotel in a central location with access to the river ferry and sites. The BW Swana fit the bill. We stayed in a superior and the room was quiet, clean, bright and comfortable. Rate came with a choice of 3... more

I think the Best Western would be better described as a Motel. If you have a limited budget and want a (very) basic room with a shower, bed, tv and running water then maybe this is the hotel for you. If you're more suited to the 3+ stars and above standards then I suggest you avoid this place. The room... more

My husband and I stayed in this hotel for 3 nights before visiting the islands. I would best describe it as a motel, but with much more tasteful and modern decor. We were advised to stay near the night markets on Khao San Road which was only a small tuk tuk ride away - 100 baht, or say AUD $3.... more

I was told the room that i wanted was not avaliable, then when we asked to be moved it magically came avalible. so we paid more for a that was supposedly the best room. the rooms - aren't great... more

Well first off I loved this place and my husband hated it! It is located close to the Khao San road which may or may not suit you - so before you book make sure you know what area of town you want to be in. It's not located in the best of places but in my opinion it is... more

The rating of two stars is for the location alone. The hotel itself is nice and would be a good place to stay if in a more convenient location. Booked the hotel at the airport. The hotel itself is clean and the room I had was quite nice. Clean, nice bed, had a working easy to use safe, and sharp... more

The Best Western Swana is a budget priced hotel with good clean amenities for a good night's sleep. Only big negative point with the hotel is its location. Its located out of the city centre (Siam Square) area and nearer to the river. There's no BTS or underground anywhere nearby so you'd have to take a taxi everywhere and to... more
