The hotel is an apartment block, so you have long term Thais staying they. Front staff very little English but a lot of smiling so o.k. Hotel cafe was clean and not that expensive, although it states that it closes at 8.00p.m. last orders 6.30p.m. No restaurants near hotel so have to walk along a road which has no path and is very busy. There is a Thai supermarket near by for water but if you want chocolate or cookies you are out of luck. It is not near the sights of Bangkok, but if you just want to chill out before travelling to your next destination then this hotel is good.
