Chetuphon Gate

"easy to accessible to phra nakhon tourist attractions and super restaurants with tasty food, bakery, coffee and charming sunset atmosphere. Don't expect too much about service from this (budget) hotel - be more self service (but that's still ok)"

"My wife chose the hotel because of the great location. We were surprised that it was so affordable but didn't think much of it. Now I know why it was so cheap. In order to check in you have to go to a different building (nobody tells you about this though. Luckily there was a nice lady who sold tours who told us where to go). Once checked in we noticed that there was no hair dryer. So back to the other building and had to leave a deposit to get the hair dryer. To get into the room it always took forever because the automated lock wouldn't recognize the key right away. After a sleepless night because of a mattress that was hard as concrete (we checked under the sheets and it was actually some type of leather cushion, not a real mattress), we took a shower. You couldn't properly adjust the temperature, so you either got burned or were freezing and the water pressure came and went as it pleased.\nTurned out the precious hair dryer wasn't working properly either but when we tried to reach somebody at the other building we found the door closed and when we called the automated voice message simply told us that nobody was available and to call later (which makes me wonder what would have happened if our key had stopped working completely during the night. Guess we would have not been able to get back into the room at all).\nWhile the room was clean it was very outdated and in desperate need of renovation. We decided to leave after the first night and go to a real hotel. If you're on a budget and backpacking through Asia this might work for you but if you have just a little bit of money to spare I'd go somewhere else."

"This is becoming one of my favourite places to stay when in Bangkok. don't judge the books by its cover. This guest house turns up to be a jem. Situated at what I believe to be a prime location, I strongly recommend to friends who likes walking around and venture themselves . You will find lots of surprises."
