“Smelly, small hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed March 2, 2010
2
people found this review helpful

I was unfortunate to read all the nice reviews regarding this hotel.

Pros:
1.Inexpensive - 800 baht per room
2.Friendly staff who can wish happy birthdays to customers.
3.Gay friendly as there's lots of gay couples seen.
4.Nice swimming pool

Cons:
1.Rooms are smaller than average
2.Walking distance of 10 -15 mins to nearest Lumpini MRT.
3.Stench from the sewerage even after the cleaning lady went to clean it.
I couldn't sleep the whole night with the windows close because of the stench.
4.No breakfast included
5.Expensive restaurant situated below although its 24 hours.

Conclusion:
This hotel is more for senior citizens , above 60 years old as most of the customers seem to be or someone on a tight budget.

“Good value - BUT it is very gay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2010

people found this review helpful

As the title says - I couldn't find much fault with this hotel - especially given the price ! However, the staff (mainly female - & the elderly male 'manager' ) on the front desk wer rather 'detached', bordering on rude at times.

However - I'd also say to families - as another (some time ago) Reviewer here said : this Hotel has started to attract families / st8 couples etc probably due to its value for $ - there are a lot of gays here - & especially outside the Hotel on the street - i.e hustlers / $ boys etc & they're getting worse (both in looks & numbers ! hehehe) So - unless you are, at the very least, gay friendly or have children who you've educated 'openly' - don't say you haven't been warned

“Basic but clean - fantastic value!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2009
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed at the Malaysia Hotel for 7 nights. Rooms are basic but very clean and well maintained - excellent value for money. Reception staff were awesome - very friendly, always smiling and helpful. The coffeshop/restaurant serves authentic Thai food at very cheap prices - and it's not toned-down for Western palates! Pool was small and a bit shabby but when you're paying 800 baht per night, what do you expect?! Have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this hotel - if you're looking for basic, clean, cheap accommodation in an OK location a few mins ride from Silom then this is the place for you. Although it's marketed as a 'gay' hotel in some guides, it's also very 'straight' friendly - although the coffeeshop was quite cruisy late at night (if that's your kinda thing!).

“Great value for money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 8, 2009

person found this review helpful

This way my first trip to Thailand & I was recommened this hotel by a friend. I was not disappointed. The rooms were large with one double bed & one single. The rooms were basic but that's all I wanted.
The staff were very friendly & didn't mind if I bought someone back to my room. I liked it when you put your key which was on the top of a wooden bottle into a small box & it switched on your lights & air con.
The resturant next door served beautiful meals with beautiful NZ butter. A taste of home.The swimming pool was a welcome relief from the hot air. The location is well situated in central bangkok. Just a 5 minute walk to lumpini underground.The view from the 5th level is good with views looking out across the city.
Next time I go back I will be saying here.

It 's not a hotel at all, but terrible guest-house! Rooms are dirty, furniture is too old, bathroom is terrible! Never recommend this "hotel"
