Review of Just Beds

Reviewed November 2, 2012

If you're a budget traveler, then consider this place! I booked a single room that came with free wifi. The location itself is a bit hard to find, even for a taxi driver so you may want to have their phone number on hand (so that a driver or someone can get directions from reception). Reception was very friendly and spoke English fluently. There are NO ELEVATORS in this hotel, and although the place is only three stories high (there aren't too many stairs to worry about) this can be a real deal-breaker if you're carrying your life in your suitcase like I was. However the receptionist at the front desk insisted on taking my bag up three flights of stairs and to my room (this bag probably weighed as much as me, and I am not a small boy). The single room: Had no windows (but one can gather this by viewing their photos beforehand). Had a GIANT bed that could fit me and two friends if I wanted. Was equipped with working AC, two free bottles of water and a mini fridge, a water boiler (with noodles, coffee, etc.), toilet paper, stable wifi, a roomy shower with hot water (yesss), and a nice-sized TV on the wall. The lighting is quite dull but I just wanted a place to relax and crash... I didn't do much exploring in the area but it's a bit far from the MRT...If you're a budget traveler, then consider this place!

Overall the room was clean, the service was great (didn't charge me for my 15 minute late check out) and the bed was huge, and soft. The location isn't great, but if you're familiar with Bangkok, consider this place.More

Poor Experience
The room we stayed in for two night was small, dark and felt like a jail cell, not in a "chic" way like other reviewers say. The location is poor; very hard to find unless you know what you are looking for. Also the hostel is at least a 20 minute walk away from the main area of shops and restaurants on the street.

The room had no windows, thus no ventilation or light. You cannot tell what time of day it is or the weather while in the rooms. The a/c was either way too hot or way too cold. Plus, the unit has two bright lights that were on all night.

The kicker was having a cockroach scuttle across the bathroom floor the first night.

Nice rooms!
Stayed in the double room here for one night. The rooms was really modern and clean. It had dark coloured walls which gave it a cool almost jail cell feeling! The bed was big and comfy and everything was really clean. The room was quite cheap, only around €20 for the night.
The staff were not particularly friendly or helpful.
It is located about 20 mins walk from the sky train, but for most of Bangkok's attractions it is in an awkward location.

Good hotel...worth your money
We stayed here for 4 nights....I would recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a good hotel at a decent price. our room was spic n span...very clean---furnished with a large, comfy bed, TV, a wardrobe and a safe. This hotel has 2 buildings--more like large bungalows. Great for Indians--especially vegetarians as this hotel is flanked by 3 indian restaurants--Indian hut being the best. About 25 min walk to the sarasuk BTS, accessibility is not a problem. Free Wi-fi, but the connection in rooms is somewhat weak, but you are allowed to use the mac at the lobby for as long as you want. Just 2 challenges---the staff barely speaks english,and not many people know the hotel by it's name---best way to overcome challenge #2 is to simply say: MANHORA HOTEL...just beds is bang opposite Manhora.

and oh--breakfast is not included, there's no swimming pool. also, did I mention the staff is very courteous and you'd feel very safe there with the automatic security system that's switched on post eleven. all in all, very cozy and tucked away...Thumbs up!

Jail Cell Chic
Really just beds...
Stayed here for 4 nights.
Difficult to find. Situated in an Indian Community area.... near the restaurant Indian Hut. Quite far from Patpong unless you take a tuktuk or a taxi.
For the first 2 nights we were given a room with no windows at the main building, and the hall leading to it was dimly lit and hot.
The room was small. Although the interior was chic but it was really small where they have the fridge, kettle and coffee mugs beside the toilet! literally.
For the 3rd and 4th night, we asked to be transferred to a room with a window, we were given a room in the building behind the main one. This was way better than the first room. More spacious and fridge in its proper place.
Service wise, poor. The ladies at the Reception were nice and smiley but only knew how to say "Yes or No". You can't get assistance with tourist places or tours.
Not a place for backpackers or solo travelers who want to see and meet other tourists.

Nice & helpful boss
Although hotel location was hard to find on our first morning checking-in at 0300H but subsequently we able to go around by tuk-tuk easily. No booking fees was required at least I told boss that I pay in full on my first day. Hotel room rates is reasonable and rooms newly renovated. I accidentally took out a water heater nut and water keeps on dripping. So boss were able to switch rooms for us instantly. Boss also help us to carry our luggage to flagged down a taxi on the main road and instruct the taxi driver in Thai. Will recommend to those on budget and comfortable accommodation.
