This tidy hostel packs 68 plain, but more-than-ad-
equate, budget rooms, as well as some of the better dorms around with semi-private bath-
rooms.

Defiantly antiquated and equal parts frumpy
and grumpy, this crumbling gem has changed very little since its construction in 1952.
The opulent 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 just 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, light brown
cloths from the hands of Thai weavers, while the cosy communal areas couldn't be much
different from the suburban living room you grew up in.

These 56 rooms in adjacent buildings are pretty compact,
and are neither the 'five-star' promised in the marketing nor quite as impressive as the
lobbies suggest. Still, they are very well wired for business, and the 'deluxe' rooms in the
main building, in particular, won't disappoint at these prices.
