I'm not sure what all the recent complaints are about. Yes, Khao San road can be noisy. But, I stayed in two difft rooms on my way in and out of Thailand and bothe were quiet, clean and nicely decorated. The staff was courteous, friendly and helpful. All the people I interacted with spoke adequate English, at least. Definitely no... more

We chose this hotel because it was in the mid-market range, a good central location and the rooms looked nice - and it had a positive plug in the Lonely Planet. When we first checked in we were surprised that they wanted payment for all five nights we had booked up front, but when we questioned it they agreed we... more

I ve been to this hotel a few times. Its fun, friendly and clean. The location is perfect, on the main-street of Bangkok. more

We were in room 201 which turned out to be just above the hotrl bar. They played loud music (bad covers of American music by a local band) and we couldn't get any sleep. When we called reception to complain they told us that they know that this room and basically all of the 2nd and 3rd floors have this... more

We stayed at the Buddy Lodge hotel for 3 nights (our whole stay in Bangkok). Staying was my partner and I, then in a room opposite my sister and her 2 friends..

If you want the convenience of Khao San Road in Bangkok, but have no desire to swill beer from buckets until 6 am or sleep in the company of those who do, the Buddy Lodge Hotel is a good option. The room are clean and beautiful, breakfast is included, there is a roof top pool, there are little extras like... more

A fairly decent hotel, biggish, clean, large balconies, fairly comfy beds. Busy but welcoming. Excellent location, right in the middle of everything. This means it's quite noisy but after a flight you won't care! We stayed 2 nights. We could've stayed 1 night and still seen everything we wanted to. Don't stay here too long as there's so many better... more

I would go back here. It's a good starting point for backpackers who like a bit of comfort. Right in the centre. Breakfast area is large and airy. Rooms have dark wooden features. The only minus was some tiny animals walking up and down the wall in the bathroom only. more

If you are willing to stay on the crazy Khao San road--the mecca of backpackers, then this is good resting spot. The carnival like atmosphere at times on Khao San can make some feel a little overwhelmed here. The music and hubbub outside can permeate the place. (The place is sometimes overrun with young teenies waiting to get into the... more
