Address: 216/6 Khao San Road, Phra Nakon, Banglamphu, Bangkok
Website: none
This great place is near the end of the famous Khao San Road which although noisy until 1:30am-2am from the nearby pubs and clubs, isn't right in the middle of the action to make you pull your hair out from hearing Lady Gaga right next to your ear.
The place contains three levels of single, double and twin rooms in a clean and friendly environment. There's internet in the lobby which you have to pay for but free wi fi in all the rooms. There's also a common space for travellers looking to watch some dvd's on the flatscreen tv and some tables and chairs.
Our room (400 baht per night for a fan room which was about A$13) was quite small with hardly any space to walk around but had a window and a low shelf. The fan worked well which was definitely a necessity as it gets very hot starting in the morning without an airconditioner (600 baht for an airconditioned room). The room was very clean with tiled floors and walls, but being on Khao San Road, definitely expect booming music until the early hours. The location is very convenient though, metres from one of the three 7-11 convenience stores on this road, across the road from Hungry Jacks and on top of Subway! There's also many street vendors as well in this area, as well as other cheap Thai eateries, and the main road where you can catch the local bus to other tourist attractions.
Overall, one of the best places we've stayed in so far, with clean rooms and friendly staff. Excellent location for budget travellers at a good cost- be sure to draw the curtains before the sun rises or you'll have to make do with an extremely hot and uncomfortable night ahead!
