    Very nice modest guest house In Bangkok , our reservation was made online and all worked out great , find better rates online than walk in, also it’s a popular guest house so reservations are a must. They offer breakfast 🍳 is NOT buffet style though, but you get coffee, 2 eggs and bread 🍞 🥖 the salad and fruit 🍌 🍎 is included, the rooms are good for a short stay, some with A/C or just a fan, the location is great because walking distance to the hop on,hop off boats 🚣‍♂️ on the river and to popular streets that at night are very much alive with restaurants, bars and various food vendors “ mobile food car vendors” great food all over , I recommend this guesthouse.

    We chose the accommodation randomly at Booking. And there was happiness with us. Nice clean rooms and near the center of events in Bangkok. Great choice.

    We stayed on a twin bed room with a shared bathroom. The room was super small, we barely had enough space to open our languages and for our stuff, and it didn’t look that nice. We found a cockroach in the bathroom the first day but thankfully the lady at the counter came and killed it. The location was around 15 min from the city centre but all the bus stops were far away so we always had to walk quite some time in the heat everyday, which didn’t make the experience very pleasant. Overly, I didn’t really like this place and wouldn’t recommend it. But I guess if you HAVE to, and are on a budget you could stay there for one night or so

    Really nice place. Good location. Friendly staff. Air con room. Reasonably cheap. Really enjoyed our stay here, and recommended it to a friend who is actually staying there now. Make sure to get the air con room as the fan room is HOT. 24 hour reception which is very useful and good. Thanks for having us!

    It is a very cheap place, price wise. You can get a lovely room at very reasonable price. I opted for The Suite and yet it costed me just around ₹2000 per night! And this included a basic breakfast comprising of fruits, scrambled eggs, toast, butter and tea. The hotel is run by women who are friendly and ever ready to help. And the structure is so beautiful! Even location is great - it's 15 minutes walk from Khao San Road and 25 minutes walk from Grand Palace. Go for it!

    Very nice, but quiet if you're looking for a more social vibe.

  • 5/5 Jay 4 months ago on Google
    Very nice budget hotel just outside of the main drag, down a side road, nice and peaceful, good AC, a small modest breakfast is offered either free or for a small fee depending on the booking type, 5 mins walk to Khao san road, WiFi worked well enough, hot water showers, free water in fridge when you checked in, overall a good budget place that I will use again.

    Definitely recommended. Located at 5 min walking distance from khaosan road bus stop. At 8 min walking distance u can get cheap boat taxi from where you can easily go to grand palace, wat arun and many more. Clean rooms, hot water, air conditioner all mentioned facilities were present as shown in booking. Easy check in.I arrived there at 11 o clock and my check in time was 2:00 am, thanks to receptionist Lek she provided me early check in, she is fluent in English & she helped me in how to reach the tourist attractions. Quiet place, no disturbance from khao San road parties. Only con was that they didn't have jet in washrooms instead they have toilet papers.

    A little oasis hidden in Banglamphu. Turn west and your in the real Bangkok, turn East for the foreign take on thing. Thank you most kindly Lek, your friendly friendship and professionalism is always appreciated. We loyally stay whenever we return to Bangkok, good value, clean, family business atmosphere. Thank you!

    Quite enjoyed it here for a week in SamSenSam’s suite. The place, staff and neighborhood are totally charming and worth seeing for themselves. Only downside is no nearby MRT minus the daytime ferries so be prepared to tuk tuk around everywhere.

    Very clean, well organized and well decorated. No fuss. great location, walkable from Khao San Road. Well suited for famalies and for budget travellers.

  • 5/5 Chris P. 4 months ago on Google
    We booked rooms at the third floor. My friends booked the ones with shared bathroo,. I'm just glad we didn't. Don't save a couple of bucks by booking the rooms with a shared bathroom! This area is near Khaosan which is near nightclubs/weed shops.

    We loved our stay in here and would highly recommend, especially for travellers who are looking for an affordable and quiet place to stay. The place itself is very adorable and clean, nice ac and showers in the bathroom. As a bonus, the owner at the front desk speaks English and quite helpful and sweet :) Overall great stay and would want to come back!

    Originally I booked for a twin room, prepaid and when I arrived was told they no longer had a twin room even though I'd already paid for it. Was given a double room instead with a fan and expected to share the bed with my friend in the heat with only a weak fan to keep us cool. The host did not even try to help by offering another room. No spare keys if you're sharing a room.

    Samsen Sam Place is a wonderful little guesthouse/hostel located in a quiet unassuming alley street off of the main road (Samsen Rd). It is location in an old, almost 100 year, wooden Thai home. This makes the location quite appealing with beautiful wooden floors and quaint touches throughout. My room was one of the two suites which afforded me with a large double bed, a workspace table, two seating chairs, a small beauty station, and a large bathroom. The bathroom had a little wardrobe where I was able to put my luggage and keep my clothes accessible for the 7 nights I stayed there. The shower was quite large and the water pressure and availability of hot water just what you’d want. While the bathroom amenities were basic, it was all that was needed. There was daily housekeeping available with a twist I quite liked. If you wanted to help save water and use of laundry detergent you would simply leave your towels hanging up as a towel on the floor meant “please exchange” and they would only do the sheets on the bed if you placed the laminated placard on the bed indicating you’d like them laundered as well. The staff were super friendly and ready to help when you had questions. Laundry service is available on premises, but beware it is hang-dry only and you do the laundry yourself. This saves money (40 baht, 50 if you need laundry powder), but if you are in a rush I recommend using one of the local laundry sites as if you drop it off in the morning should have it by the evening or first thing the next morning. There are plenty of restaurants nearby to choose from as well as easy access to money exchange locations and atm’s. It is also very easy to call a Grab to come and take you wherever you want to go. Breakfast is included, but very simple (choice of friend or scrambled eggs, white toast, powder coffee, fresh pineapple and watermelon, and "salad"). I personally had no issues and quite enjoyed eating out on the little patio area.

    Great quiet area close to Khao San Road and Rambuttri. Staff is friendly. The place and rooms are clean and quiet. I had a double room. There was an air-con, little shelf, towels and shampoo and showel gel available in shared bathroom. Only 3 stars because of very weak sometimes non-existant wi-fi in the room (we stayed in the room next to bathrooms, the furthest from reception) which is a must-have for a traveller. You can have breakfast/drinks there if you want, laundry service.

  • 3/5 Sarah F. 5 years ago on Google
    Super friendly staff (one woman especially in particular), great quiet location but easy to get to the touristy stuff. Laundry service, wifi, ac and hot water were all good as well. We stayed here for 4 nights but in order to stay in an affordably priced room (600 baht ish) we had to change rooms 3 different times. As an expert on the various rooms, I can now say that rooms on the second floor have more character and are brighter but walls are paper thin (guy next to us couldn’t stop coughing and we heard the whole thing). Rooms downstairs are more modern but no character whatsoever.

    Reasonable place with decent accommodations. Stay on the first floor if you have the opportunity

  • 5/5 christopher t. 4 years ago on Google
    Incredibly charming boutique hotel located in central Bangkok in the Banglampoo area. A 100 year old Thai house with a tranquil atmosphere including lots of plants and such. The rooms are clean and the staff is most helpful. Just minutes away from all the major temples and street shopping areas.
