We stayed at Livotel Hotel Kaset Nawamin from 19-23Jan during our trip to explore BKK. We chose this hotel because it seemed to offer a good balance of facilities and affordability.
The check-in process was smooth and quick, and the staff were polite, though not particularly warm or welcoming. One thing to note is their strict early check-in policy—you’ll need to pay an additional fee even if you’re just 10 minutes early, which caught us off guard 😅
Our room was clean and spacious for the price, with a comfortable bed and fully functioning air conditioning. That said, the bathroom felt a little dated, and the waterfall showerhead had poor water pressure, possibly due to rust buildup. It was a minor inconvenience, but worth mentioning.
The hotel offers free Wi-Fi and parking, which were both convenient. We were pleasantly surprised to find a fitness room on-site. It was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with basic cardio machines. While it’s not a full-fledged gym, it worked perfectly for a light workout.
The location, however, is not the most convenient if you’re relying on public transportation. It’s a bit far from the nearest MRT station and central Bangkok, but taxis and Grab rides were easy to find, so getting around wasn’t a major issue.
The staff were polite but maintained a very formal demeanor, which made them seem a bit reserved. Communication in English was limited, but they managed to assist with our requests efficiently. We also made a few online orders during our stay, and the staff were great at safely storing our parcels until we were able to collect them, which we really appreciated.
For the price, the hotel offered decent value. It’s a practical choice for budget travelers, short stays, or even longer accommodations if you don’t mind the location.
Overall, our stay at Livotel Hotel was satisfactory. It’s a solid option for budget-conscious travelers or those with plans in the nearby area. However, we wouldn’t strongly recommend it for families with children unless you have your own transport, as the walkway to the hotel can be quite dark and there are stray dogs in the area.
The hotel offers breakfast, and while the selection was limited, the quality was good, and we enjoyed it! All in all, it was a pleasant stay, and we’d happily consider coming back again in the future.
