Sawasdee Sukhumvit Inn Bangkok Reviews

Nothing fancy but well done for the money they are asking. Room was clean people were nice. Close to the Eakmia bus station...but not too close.

upon arrival we were really upset with the bad attitude of the reception manager!

we only had 1000THB & the taxi driver didnt have sufficient change, so our only solution was the hotel recept & we got a really nasty shot-back (in the typical gentle thai way) "no change. we dont have" that is not being helpful at all! what am i supposed to do?

after some negotiation & smiley face from our end she finally got her staff to change it for us, with no smile, nothing! i dont expect much but i dont expect to be treated with little respect especially when im being really polite.

next to us was a couple from Netherland & they booked their room online (that very morning) & the reception manager couldnt find their name & was really rude! questioning them to why didnt they print the slip.

i was really upset & frustrated with this poor quality of service.

however, i must give CREDIT to this BELL-BOY. he is EXCELLENT! we loved his service & i would honestly say that he saved the hotel from really nasty rating i would have given. he was exceptionally helpful & made-up all the negative experiences we had with that bad-mannered manager!

when we needed a cab, he went all the way out to the main road to get one for us because the location of the hotel is really far in (end of the lane) & he is always so smilely!

he made it good for us! thanks me bell boy!

You´ll get a workout climbing the stairs because they don´t have an elevator. Very nice staff with small, clean rooms. The place is showing its age so don´t expect anything modern. Good water pressure in the shower and a well-stocked and cold fridge.

cannot beat the price

The hotel was as to be expected for the price, It was clean and well located.
The reception staff were helpful with onward journey preperations and directions. They translated addresses into Thai for us and helped to plan our best route.
We felt it was safe enough to leave our bags for awhile, so all in all can´t grumble!

Good place. Quiet neiaghboorhood. I´ll probably stay there again when I come back.

This Inn is a really a nice place to stay in during hollidays. Although the surrounding is a little lacking in beautiful scenaries, its strategic location does makes up to it. It´s only 5 mins to the Thong Lor Sky Train Station by foot.
Soi 57 which leads to the Inn is a little doggy especially at night. However, there is a shortcut leading to Soi 55, a busy street, which is considered safe to walk back to the Inn from sky train station even at night.
The staffs are really nice. The guy in charge of the cafeteria is especially friendly to all guests. A staff even went to Soi 55 to hail a taxi for us! Couldn´t say enough about their good service. :)

The hotel is well located in a lane along sukhumvit road. You have to walk about 300 m to get to Sukhumvit road and then you can get on the skytrain there which can bring you to the whole shopping area. One skytrain stop back will bring you to the Ekkamai bus terminal (goes to Pattaya too). A few stops further will bring you to Siam (lots of shopping malls there). I always want a room which is not too luxurious, but clean, safe, presentable. Well this room does just that. Don´t expect too much, but this is a very good place for the price you pay. Oh and take the superior room. It is well worth the price difference with the standard room. I will sure book a room in this hotel again when I am back in Bangkok.

Can´t complain much considering the price. The lane leading towards the hotel is a bit dark though if you are walking back at night.

This hotel is OK because the price is so cheap.

For $17/night, I really cannot complain about the hotel. Room was clean, bathroom was ok and they provided clean towels and sheets everyday. The only gripe I have is that it does not have an elevator and my room was on the 4th floor. It was a pain going up the stairs. Ask for a room on the 1st or second floor only

small hotel but clean , charateristic room , convineance to go down town by sky train , staff´s well knowladge, they quite know a lots of thing in BKK. willing to help you all the time , tour desk excellent , massage at the lobby is so cheap , no internet service in the hotel but you can find 2-3 cafe´ around there . hope it help!! enjoy
