Reviews from Google
A lovely, cozy hotel at affordable prices. The staff are friendly, smiling, and helpful, always ready to assist and offer advice. The owner is cool and easy to talk to. Not far away, 5 minutes away, there is a market where you can get local street food. Also, try a delicious fruit smoothie at Dino Smoothies shop. My room was comfortable on the second floor with a bathroom, a spacious wardrobe, a large bed, and a spacious balcony. The view overlooks the temples. The breakfast is just as delicious. You can grab a bite to eat downstairs at any time, but I preferred to spend time on the shared balcony, where you can sit with friends, relax, and enjoy the views. The sunsets here are beautiful. I recommend this place and will be back!
This hotel is in the perfect location, you can easily get to the temples and there is a night market right round the corner (recommend Dino’s smoothies!). The staff are super helpful and the rooms are authentic and have the basic things you need. The breakfast is also delicious.
This hotel may not be absolutely perfect like a luxury hotel, but considering the price, I was extremely satisfied. The owners are very kind, and the snacks and food they kindly bring are also very delicious. If you are expecting perfection, it might not fully meet that standard, but for me, it was truly a wonderful place to stay.

Tips for Visiting Markets & Shopping
Haggle at Markets, Not Malls
Prices at market stalls are negotiable — start at 50–60% of the asking price and meet in the middle. Fixed-price shops and malls don't haggle. Smile and keep it friendly; aggressive bargaining is considered rude.
Arrive Early or Late
Vendors believe the first sale of the day is lucky — you'll often get a better deal if you arrive right when the market opens. Late in the evening, sellers may also discount to avoid packing unsold goods.
Be Cautious with Tailors
Bangkok has excellent tailors, but also many tourist traps. Avoid anyone offering suspiciously cheap suits or who approaches you on the street. Ask your hotel for recommendations, read reviews, and always get two fittings.
Nearby Places
Nightmarket
Get there by five, because plenty of stalls start packing up long before the 21:00 close.
