Hotels near Ministry of Defence, Bangkok

Stayed here the 2nd time around and it was still a very pleasant stay. Definitely I will come back again. I prefer this hotel because the area is quiet, it is new and clean and it is close to major tourist attractions, the Wat Po and the Grand Palace. At first I booked the deluxe double room because I was alone however I found the room too small. So I transferred to a bigger room after 3 days, to a family room as it was the only available room during my stay. The family room however was way too big for 1 person. Anyhow, I will give an honest review here to help succeeding guests decide which room to choose. The deluxe double room is small in my assessment even for a single person. This type of room is just basically for sleeping and resting but not for relaxing. No place to hang clothes and with only a very tiny space for luggage. The toilet and bath though is very spacious.[ My next room was the family room which is perfect for couples, group of 3 to 4 persons and for a family of 4 members. I love the family room, it has separate toilet and bath, the powder room is spacious, there is place to hang clothes, a space to keep the luggages and it has 2 king size beds. In the past, we also tried the triple deluxe room and it is as good as the family room, the space is enough for a couple or for a group of 3 persons. The hotel is walkable to these tourist attractions mentioned above if you don't mind walking in the heat. Bangkok is warm all year round. There are two 7-11stores closeby. If you just explore and walk around this hotel, there are many restos and cafes to go to. You can ask for directions from the hotel reception. I passed by a fruit market while riding a taxi to Wat Po. Taking a taxi to the hotel from Wat Po area costs around 100 to 200 Baht depending on the time of the day. The rates are higher during rush hour and drivers charge more when it is raining. The reason they always say is because it is always too difficult to get into the area of Wat Po as it is always congested. There are many tuktuks in Wat Po area but tuktuks are expensive. By foot, it may take around 20 to 30 minutes depending on your pace and how good you are at navigating your way. By car it will take 7 to 10 minutes to get to Wat Po and Grand Palace.

The place looked very different from the pictures. The building looked a bit old. But everything was super clean. The staff was amazing. The room was clean and the location was amazing. Close to Khao Sand Road(5min walk). There was elevator available and we didn’t have time to get in the swimming pool but it looked nice. If you need hairdryer, it’s available is you ask in the counter. I had a good experience~ even if the pictures were different.

Pros: Social atmosphere, nice and friendly staff, 10mins walk to Khaosan road, things are clean and value for money Cons: local area, kinda hard to find the hostel , you’ll need to walk into a small street (but didn’t feel unsafe even walking alone at night), only got two bathrooms on each floor ;)) Overall: Recommended

Great location. Room was comfortable, but small with little place to put things other than the floor. Bathroom had a raised lip for the shower to prevent water soaking the entire floor. Free cold and hot water in the lounge. Fridge, but no kettle. OK value for money.

Hotel is new and nice. Like our family room very much. Very spacious and clean and comfortable but need bring your own toothbrush and in-room slippers as they do not provide. Location not for shopping but it is only 30mins by Grab or Taxi to Siam Paragon at 200 Baht.

The location is in the heart of khaosan area so you can hear the music till late at night. Although for party people it's a great place to stay as the place is right inbetween the happening area. Rooms were just ok to stay but can be improved, the bathroom was small. The staff's behaviour was rude, we were also asked to keep 1000 B (for 2 rooms) as deposit which was later refunded. Overall it's a good and budget friendly stay.

Among the cheapest dorm in Khao San area with good reviews, I stayed in the 6-bed female dorm for a total of 7 nights. Reception is friendly. Housekeeping check and change bedsheet everyday. Decent place if you are on a tight budget.

The rooms are spacious and clean. I booked a room with river-view. Nice but not really necessary. It's not an epic view. Haha! The TV lets you sign in into Disney, HBO, Netflix and other common providers. The showers are a thing for themselves. No real pressure! I think it's great for families and those who want to stay a little longer because the room had a really huge fridge. The hotel itself doesn't provide breakfast, but has a complimentary snack bar where you can get coffee, tea and sweets. It's ok because you can walk less than 10 minutes to find food. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I think the stereotype of Thais being the most friendly people rings true! The rooftop bar is nice at night, drinking a cocktail and you can eat seafood. Downstairs you have a normal restaurant and a buffet. The food looked good, and the restaurant seems to be a hotspot. It's been full every day. But since I travel alone.... You get the deal! When I'm in Thailand again, I gladly book this hotel a second time.

Spacious, neat place to stay. First night I slept well, second night there were little unsettling smell from somewhere. Near to the night market. In the end, I like this place.

I paid $55 for this hotel in BKK Address: SCENE Bangkoknoi Hotel, 23/5 Arun Amarin Rd, Bangkok Noi, Bangkok 10700, Thailand Price: 💰 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Located on the outskirts of Bangkok's main shopping area, this quiet little neighborhood is filled with cute, artistic cafes, perfect for someone seeking an escape from the bustling city. I booked a night stay here because it seemed more convenient for traveling to DMK airport the next day, while having a full day to explore this part of Bangkok. After much research, I settled for this hotel. It offered a clean, bright, and spacious room with à la carte breakfast for two, all for just $55/night. Plus, there's a 7-Eleven only 350 meters away. The pool and lounge area were so cute and photo-worthy, but we skipped it this time as we forgot our swimwear. Check-in was easy, though you can only get your room after 2 PM, and they do require a 1000 baht cash deposit. We left our bags at the lobby, which were brought up to our rooms as we explored late into the evening. The room was generally beautifully decorated, but upon closer inspection, it wasn't the cleanest. There were stains on the sheets and walls. Fortunately, there were no drainage smells or mold, which would have been a nightmare. There were ants on the bathroom sink area, which was an easy fix. The water temperature was unstable; we had to bathe in cold to room-temperature water at night and in the morning. For the price paid and for only one night, these issues weren't too problematic. The hotel was safe, the room floor was clean, the air conditioning worked great, and there was plenty of space to put our items. The room also came with YouTube and Netflix, perfect to pair with your supper. The bed was so soft, we couldn't get up the next morning! The breakfast was simple, with two choices: Western or Asian. We opted for the American breakfast, which had a generous portion of eggs, potatoes, salad, bacon, bread, and sausage. The orange juice paired with it was a perfect cleanser. If you prefer a more local breakfast, they offer pork congee. I would stay here again if I decide to visit this part of Bangkok. Tip: Book 2-3 months in advance for a cheaper price.
