For 1000 baht without breakfast and 1200 baht with breakfast this hotel is one of my favourites.The hotel itself is quite new very clean excellent linen,clean toilet.Its bang opposite Big C and the BTS and Tesco Lotus is a 10 minute walk.
The water pressure needs to be increased in shower.
The staff and bellboys are very helpful and there is no rip off feeling in hotel or around the hotel like in other touristy places.
I recommend this hotel highly.
All in all there is nothing special about this hotel. Breakfast is not included, it is a long walk from the train station through dirty street (only bad if you have luggage), there isn't anything interesting nearby, and there is no hot water in the sink but weirdly enough there is in the shower. The staff is fairly curt with guests. It is nice and cheap, but I think you should look for something better for the price.
Pleasant staff, clean fresh rooms, good access to the Skytrain (about 10 mins walk around the back of Big C and down a little street). Proximity to Big C is useful and local shops and restaurants are good value. I will use the hotel again.
Good Points:
1) Location is just next to Big C mall for grocery shopping convenience.
2) Quite near to On Nut BTS through a shortcut behind the car park of Big C, approx 10 mins walk. (See my photo of the shortcut signage) Important: Don't go one big round in front of Big C or it will take you another extra 5 to 10 mins of walking!
3) Nice comfy rooms and environment as the hotel is relatively new
4) Just at the outskirt of the touristy area so things are relatively cheaper around the hotel.
5) Very helpful and polite staff - excellent service!
Can be Improved:
1) The daily free wifi usage is capped at only 4MB download and 512KB upload limits! It would be better of to use either their guest's computer or purchase a prepaid 3G SIM card from Big C.
Can't be helped:
1) Forget about taking taxi to downtown Bangkok. The traffic jam is really bad and many taxi drivers would rather not earn your money than to be stuck in the jam, or they will try their luck to offer an upfront rate rather than charging by the meter.
Stayed with my family of 6 in two rooms - Rm 309 and 310. May 2012. Location : very near The Big C mall which by the way opens early and closes at 11 PM! Found it very convenient. The Tesco mall is a little further away but it connects to the On Nut BTS Station. The room price did not come with breakfast which is 200 Bath if you'll take it at the hotel! There are several alternatives though - a lot of cheaper options nearby the hotel and will really give you a taste of local Thailand. The hotel is far from the City centre but with the BTS - almost everything is nearer. The kids enjoyed the gym! Cons : the lock of the bathroom in room 309 does not lock and when the maintenance man was not able to solve this until we left. It only has 1 computer desk top for use of its guests. Maybe 1 more can be added?
