Here's the good: The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We arrived much earlier than the stated check in time. They were nice to give us a "holding room" to freshen up and put our luggage so that we can continue on our planned day activity and check in later. They shifted our luggage up once the rooms were available. They were also kind enough to extend the checkout time as one of my friends was ill. In terms of location, it was convenient as we were focused on the Pratunam area. It's 5 mins walk to Platinum and 7 mins to the new Airport link. Plenty of street vendors and 7-11 around the area. There were also plenty of massage places around the area (I do not recommend the ones directly below the hotel... especially for couples and families as they provide "extra services"). The room we stayed in of decent size for the 3 of us and the aircon was very strong, providing a cool respite from the hot Bangkok weather. The Wi-fi was also fast. And the bad: The rooms were not sound proof. To close the room door, you had to slam the door shut. Our sleep was disturbed by neighbours who were returning late at night or leaving early morning. Not recommended if you are a light sleeper. Our other friend was staying in another room and the door actually couldn't lock!

The rooms were not sound proof. To close the room door, you had to slam the door shut. Our sleep was disturbed by neighbours who were returning late at night or leaving early morning. Not recommended if you are a light sleeper. Our other friend was staying in another room and the door actually couldn't lock! The hotel managed to rectify the situation. The doors had no peep holes so not recommended for female travellers. If you live on the lower floors like my friend, you can hear any commotion that happens downstairs. On our arrival the bedsheets and the towels had stains. There were not a lot of channels on the TV but we were out and about most of the time so it wasn't a major issue. They do not provide toothbrushes so remember to bring your own or you can buy from the 7-11. Soap and shampoo are the dispenser type. It rained on one of the days we were there and the streets leading to it were flooded - ankle to shin deep! The road to Platinum is dark and smelly at night so not recommended for female travellers. Finding the hotel initially can be difficult due to lack of signage and if you are carrying heavy luggage, can be very testing to one's patience.

You get what you pay for. A basic, no frills hotel.More
