Location, location, location. The hotel is very close to Nana BTS station so it's very easy to take the BTS to other parts of Bangkok. The Sukhumvit MTR / Asok BTR station is a ten minute walk away. Or one can take the BTS one stop if one is in a hurry. Since the hotel is in the middle of a touristy streets there are many good restaurants nearby. One can get a nice takeaway box with Thai food from one at the hawkers for almost no money at all, and they often work late. There's also a 7-11 opposite of the hotel which I believe is open 24/7. The hotel is clean in general. The beds are comfortable. The AC works fine. There are machines that provide free drinking water on each floor. There are tables next to the reception where one can sit and work and the WiFi works very well. The tables have power outlets compatible with American, European and UK plugs.

Really lovely staff, let me check in early even though I only intended to leave my bag. The room was great, no fridge or kettle but they did have a filtered water dispenser next to the elevator with cold water. And there’s the communal kitchen if you’re into that. Air con was great, room/level decor was awesome and unique. Really great value, great location to bus and trains as well as walking distance to a lot of shops/stalls etc. and a really nice experience all around. Keep in mind if not travelling solo that the shower door and toilet door are the same door that slides on a rail, but they are separate rooms. There was some construction going on but I always bring earplugs when I travel so wasn’t an issue. Bed was on a raised platform, not sure if all rooms are like that but if you have mobility issues, maybe double check.

The location is one of the finest as you can go to Terminal 21 for shopping and to see a movie. Also a metro stations are very close to the hotel, we have used Asok and Nana stations (BTS line) as well as MRT line. Lumphini park is near the hotel - you can see varans (monitor lizards) in the day time there. We liked 7/11 shop just in front of the hotel - you can have any type of breakfast you want. Also you can cook in the shared kitchen and store food in the fridge - the area on the ground floor is cozy and useful. There are a lot of places around - bars, local kitchen and street food available. During our stay we were also working remotely, so we highly appreciated additional areas to work - the roof terrace was equipped with tables and chairs and ground floor area had even better chairs and tables together with the charging place. There are darts, table football and aero hockey you can play for free! Also you can easily wash and dry your clothes for a good price just on the second floor inside the hotel.

Stayed here before, and although I don't like staying in Nana, location near to the BTS Skytrain is hard to beat and easy to get to many places of interest from there, West to Siam and beyond or East to Phrom Phong and Thonglor. Room is basic but cheerful and does the job. Staff also try their best to cater to our needs. Still love having the Tao Bin machine in the lobby for a quick drink.
