NK Guesthouse — Hotel in Khlong Toei Subdistrict

Short: rooms are overall clean, some small things aren’t working perfectly (but the house is getting renovated at the moment so maybe that’s gonna change), the staff is working hard to get the responsibilities done, the way guests are treated may suffer from this stress.||||||Our check in was fast, we arrived there at 12 (check in starts at 2) and the woman at the counter managed to get our room done and cleaned in half an hour, which we were really happy about!||The furniture in the room was new and clean, the air conditions is working very well.||The room cleaning service is doing her job really good.||After each cleaning you’re getting a new shampoo/ shower gel kit and water, also toothbrush kits are already there).||||The Rooms look a littler darker than the pictures suggest, rooms look clean, but you can find a lot of dust in corners and places you don’t immediately look at. The bathroom and the front door are really thin, you can hear anything.||The closet was smelling awkward.||We booked over Expedia and they told the hotel to book a queensize, not twin beds, we didn’t want to make a fuzz so we just asked for a second blanket which turned out to be very difficult because the woman in charge told us it wasn’t possible or would cost us more money. After a discussion we got one.|| ||“Mr Nick” the owner wasn’t there when we stayed and only his wife was in charge. She seemed stressed and was in an mood like that with the guests some days too. In the first night + first day she was a little disrespectful with us, afterwards really friendly and helpful (I guess she’s working too much and sleeping too less, we saw only her at the reception at any day/ night time).||The fridge wasn’t working and we missed the Handsoap (in our bathroom and the public ones).||In the shower on the pipes/tubes there was mold, but that’s not unusual for Bangkok, you couldnt see any in the main room.||Also: Theres No elevator and there are a least 4 floors. ||||(Personally I found the room a little empty and the upper window to the bathroom is annoying at night, also that the whole bathroom floor is wet after a shower is annoying. Some hooks in the bathroom and the main room...

Excellent value for money in a fantastic location. Short walk down from Nana BTS and situated close to Benchakitti Park. Terminal 21 shopping mall is a short ride away or a 20 minute walk if you can handle it. There is a 7-Eleven on the corner for any conveniences needed.

1000 baht cash deposit required which will be returned after checking out, provided you don't trash the room.

All the staff are polite and helpful. Should always be someone on the reception. You have a code to go up the stairs and will have your own key to get in your room.

The room I had was pretty large on the top floor with a balcony. There is no lift so if you're out of shape, have a disability or travelling with a large case you might struggle with the narrow stairs. Pretty quiet. I didn't hear any noise from other guests, just traffic and the odd person in the street.

The double bed I had was quite firm but also very comfortable (sounds crazy) but this is normal for Thailand. Nice pillows too. Easy to fall asleep.

Plenty of space, standing wardrobe and shoe rack for clothes. Aircon, fridge, TV and kettle provided in the room. Should get 2 bottle of water a day. Shower is OK but I found the handle leaks a bit from the head. Tap water smells bad, don't drink it. The WiFi was pretty good from what I remember.

Bins and room are cleaned regularly.

Only bad things I can think of are that although the aircon works well it looks and smells like it might need its filters inside cleaned. I also found a blood(?) stain on the bed headboard on my first night but cleaned it off with antibacterial wipes I had. A lot of ants on balcony walls outside trying to get in so be careful. A lot of the sockets in my room didn't work either.

All in all it's an excellent choice for solo, duo or group travellers and tourists. Nothing that's going to blow your mind but it's comfortable, safe and in a great location with excellent...

On my last stroll past in November of 2023 NK was open once again after COVID-19 subsided, and the local economy ticked up, i.e. the tourist returned. It appears to be under new management as OYO is now no longer listed on the hotel signs. Large rooms that are clean and equipped with a refrigerator and an electric kettle. 76 channels on a smallish but adaquate flat screen tv. My room has a small balcony, but not all do. I expected to stay for 3 weeks, but have been here almost 3 months! My flight keeps getting cancelled due to COVID-19 air travel difficulty. Had I known I would have rented a condo as I have done in the past, but this option is flexible. The staff is very nice. I like the location at the far end of the infamous Soi 4 on a quiet side Soi with a 7-11 50 meters away. Try the grilled chicken (Gai Yang) and the Som Dtam from the street food vendor in front of the British Scool under the big blue umbrella. He's there about 10:00am and gone by 4:00pm most days. Genuine Isan...
