Methavalai Residence Hotel Bangkok — Hotel in Bowon Niwet Subdistrict

We stayed here for four nights. The location is pretty good if you are willing to walk 20-40 min to all the main attractions. This is in the old area of Bangkok where you can find most of the temples of note and the royal palace. The closest attraction is Khao San Road which is famous for cheap souvenirs and nightlife. However, getting to other locations such as the Siam shopping area, night markets, Lumpini park, Chinatown and main centre of Bangkok is a pain from this spot as it is not close to any train stations. Getting an honest taxi from here is a mission as many are not willing to use the meter. This might be due to the intense traffic when trying to leave this area.The hotel/room is clean, but very basic. The service is not great - again I'd say basic. We accidentally booked an extra night and they were not flexible at all. Even though we brought it to their attention a few days before, they were not at all willing to give us a refund. No breakfast and no special amenities. I don't think this hotel matches its price in any way. Given the cost, I would not recommend this hotel. Maybe for one night at most, just to see those main attractions, but you can probably find a cheaper hotel or one with excellent service in just as good...

Methavalai Residence Hotel

Check-in: Friendly, Helpful and Efficient. 🤗👏 Rating: 5/5

Room: Room: Superior Twin Tv: Only Thai channels available 😢 Shower: The water was cold and the pressure wasn’t good. 😢 The bed mattress was quite hard 😢 The pillows were hard, lumpy and not comfortable, which really affected our sleep. We asked the hotel to change the pillows, which they did, but the replacement pillows were also hard and lumpy. 😢 The lighting in the room is very bad. 😢 Rating: 2/5

Wi-Fi The Wi-Fi in the room was either very slow or just didn’t work. I tried numerous Wi-Fi connections, but they were all the same. 😤 Rating: 1/5

Location: Quiet location. 😊 The hotel is only a 9 min walk from Khao San Road, 11 mins from Wat Saket Ratchawora Mahawihan and 16 mins from the Rajadamnern Muay Thai Stadium. There’s also a 7-eleven only 4 mins away. Rating: 4/5

We stayed here 7th January for 5 nights. We always try and research accommodation as much as poss but can never really be sure until you get there.|The room was clean, good size and bathroom ideal. It had good space for toiletries etc so I could spread my stuff out without worrying its going to fall off into the loo!|Water was lovely and hot, with good pressure so it was a fab shower.|The hotel staff were friendly and attentive.|Breakfast order was taken quickly as soon as you sat down and served promptly too.|It was in a good situation not far from khao San road.|There are five floors with a lift. Didn't have any issues with noise or smelly bathrooms which seem to be mentioned in Thailand hotels.|The view from the window was just dirty buildings so we kept the blind down and it wasn't a problem for us as we didn't spend too much time in the room. There's good lighting in the room too.|Overall very happy with the hotel and enjoyed...
