This stay was by far the worst experience I've had in Thailand. The room was infested with cockroaches—completely unacceptable. The refrigerator was filthy, covered in grime and stains, and the room itself had a strong, unpleasant moldy smell that lingered throughout our entire stay. Finding the hotel was a nightmare—no clear signage, confusing directions, and not easily accessible by public transit. Everything about this place felt neglected: cleanliness, location, service, and overall condition. It’s hard to believe such a poor standard still exists in Bangkok. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone, and definitely won’t be returning.

I’d definitely stay here again when visiting Bangkok.

I was extremely disappointed with my stay at this property. The cleanliness was appalling—bed linens were visibly dirty and caused severe itching after sleeping on them. Despite reporting the issue, the response was slow and unsatisfactory, and even getting a full refund took much longer than expected. The overall condition of the rooms suggested years without proper cleaning. The location near the river is nice in theory, but the surrounding area is noisy and unclean. It's hard to believe such a place made it onto any booking platform, especially given the lack of basic hygiene standards. I’d strongly advise travelers to think twice before choosing this hotel—your experience could be just as frustrating as mine.
