Defiantly antiquated and equal parts frumpy and
grumpy, this crumbling gem has changed very little since its construction in 1952. The op-
ulent lobby stands in stark contrast to the simple rooms, and the frantic anti-sex tourist
tone can be rather disturbing, but the inviting pool (allegedly the country's first hotel pool)
and delightful restaurant (for guests only) are enough incentive to get past these.

Hidden in the confines of a typical Bangkok urban compound is what must be the
city's homiest accommodation. The 12 expansive rooms have been decorated with dark
woods from the family's former business and light brown cloths made by Thai weavers,
and the cosy communal areas couldn't be much different from the suburban living room
you grew up in.

Soi 19 and around are home to a handful of good-value,
stylish hotels that barely edge into the midrange category, including Uno, surprisingly
sophisticated for this price range. Its 56 rooms are comfortable and equally well equipped
for work or play.

expansive windows.
