vintage feel clean room cozy room thin wall popular street noise disturbance
the gym had almost everything i needed. that's rare for most hotels i have visited. i also loved the vintage feel of the rooms. they were clean and cozy.
The walls felt very thin. I could hear everything from other rooms. it's on a very popular street, so it got very noisy at times. i found the noise a bit disruptive at times.

sun umbrella friendly staff loud noise thin walls
The location was right in the heart of everything. I found sun and rain umbrellas provided in the room, thoughtful. Rooms got cleaned every day. Staff members seemed friendly. Tea, coffee, shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel were available in the room.
The noise from Khaosan Road was very loud. It did not stop during the night. I had to check out after one night even though I booked for three. It proved impossible to get any sleep. The walls seemed very thin. We could hear every word from the neighbors. There was a door to the next room inside my room.
