"I'd been curious about this place for a while, so I decided to stay here. The high ratings online definitely made sense.
The good points were:
- A large washing machine
- A bathtub
- Amenities provided (though no slippers or toothbrush)
These were the biggest pros.
The downsides were:
- The Wi-Fi occasionally disconnected (you have to log in via a web portal with your room number and password).
- To fill the bathtub, you have to use the shower, which had unstable water temperature and pressure, making it inconvenient.
- The TV had the Tver app, but it seemed to need an update, so I couldn't watch it. YouTube and Netflix worked fine.
- It's about a 20-minute walk from the nearest BTS station. The road in front was under renovation, and with luggage, the path from the station partway to the hotel was rough and had a lot of traffic.
There's a 7-Eleven next door, and if you head towards the station, there's a TOOS. If you go into the residential area, there were various shops.
It's clearly designed for long-term stays, with plenty of hangers, a reclining chair, other chairs, kitchen utensils, and a proper refrigerator.
A 1000 baht deposit is required.
The staff had a good vibe. However, when I returned at night, there was a guard smoking by the entrance who opened the door for me, but it left a bad impression. I'd rather he wasn't by the entrance at all if he's going to be smoking.
In conclusion, if you're not planning on going out much, it's an option. But as a train user, I wouldn't rebook. The price isn't bad, but access is my top priority, so it's a tough sell."
