4/10
I booked this hotel because it was advertised with a super discount on hotels.com. This was just a lie, as the price I paid turned out to be the regular price.
The location is really bad. The whole neighbourhood is dirty and smelly, and the hotel is hidden among tiny streets which cab drivers can't find even with GPS. Getting home at night is a real hassle.
Then at the checkin you need to pay 1000 baths deposit. If you decide to do it with credit card, they will not just reserve the money, they will charge you, and they pay you back 2 weeks later.
The staff speaks very poor English so forget about asking for any information.
Then in the room there is an A4 sheet with a "damage price list", which tells you how much you have to pay if you damage something. I mean, I understand that I have to pay for damage, but is it really necessary to provide a list with around 50 items (including e.g. coffee spoon (150 baths), clothes hanger (100 baths), hairdryer bag (50 baths), etc.)
I ordered a burger on the rooftop, which came with almost raw meat and cold cheese, and upon asking for the bill they had added 10% service carge and 7% taxes. I have never seen that in Thailand - generally the price you see is the price you pay.
When I left I asked for the best way to get to the airport. The receptionist tod me that upon reaching the nearest metro station, it shouldn't take more than 30minutes. It ended up taking 1,5 hours, so good that I had planned enough time.
