The staff was very friendly and helpful. I had booked in advance so I think I got a good rate. I dont think they have a swimming pool.

Sorry about the late reply,....usually all hotels will let you check out later for free for the first hour or so. They will eventually charge you a fee if you stay too long, say 15:00. it's pretty common in bangkok as lots of flights leave late afternoon

It's very close to the Nana train station so it's pretty as easy to go anywhere. The hotel is grossly dirty, tacky and weird but the location is very handy. We took a train to the reclining Buddha but got lost and ended up on a boat trip and at Wat Arun. LOL.

I would say the area is OK, but be aware that this is still a place where you can meet drunk people at night and it is hard to say 100% safe when it takes only one person to cause trouble. Locals are not the ones to worry abt, it is rather other tourists that may lose control))) On the other hand side this is also the area where a lot of bars are open till very late and even if you are on the street at night - there will always be a lot of people around so that you do not feel alone on a dark street. What I also like is that most hotels and restaurants on the street have staff outside either chasing for customers or juts waiting for their guests to enter or exit the building and I am quite sure they will not stay still if they will see smth wrong happening.
