Sloppy Service
The lady insisted they had a place to do ironing. So she sent out the clothes. First it was 4 Pm same day, then 9 AM the next day. Then 1 hour. It is close too noon and I am still in dirty clothes and I have a date in a half hour. She refuses to tell me where it is located so I can get them myself.

Good. Clean. Microwave. Quiet. Bad. Location is not ideal. Difficult to locate. 711 is 500m away. 1 bottle of water given daily. If your going places out of Bangkok then the bus terminal will benefit for those on the go. A simple and basic place to stay since the price matches the requirements. The pool is out of servuce and TV is the only entertainment after dark around the area .

You only get what you have paid for.
The check in was smooth, but didn't like the feel of the hotel, furniture of the room was tired, no kettle, tv did not work at all, and the people that stay here seemed to like slamming their room doors, I was booked to stay for 12 days, but checked out after 5,I was happy to leave.

Everything is good except the bed which is a bit hard for me. Staffs are nice and friendly, price is reasonable with its facilities and room is clean. Just that there is a short walk needed (5-10mins) to reach there from Ekamai BTS.

Great hotel for price, but staff is terrible.
Had to wait an extra hour for my car to pick me up and the staff member had me pay for another night. After I checked out the other staff member stated I needed to pay for an half of day. But I informed them I already paid for another night, they both looked at each other and Then dismissed. So I was over charged, even had to pay for an extra night the first day because I got there 2 hours before Res.

They say it is 24 hours check in but charged us 500 baht extra since we reached there at 6am. We were ready to vacate 6am next day but they denied and charged us 75% of a day tariff just for allowing us to occupy the room 3hours earlier.

Hm, i think this hotel location is not good, inside of the soi, and taxi driver don't know the location, you have to explain how to reach your hotel to taxi drivers. And no swimming pool, no restaurant N seven11 near this hotel. If you want enjoy of them you have to walk for 10minute more.

Far from the main road. need,
Just a normal hotel, it is not worth to stay if it is over $28. No breadfast and drinks. The house rules is set in such always in favour of hotel. Even as a regular and good customer, it still need to pay 2000 babt as deposit. Even I booked a day online, they would allow me to extend 5 days at the same rate I paid online. Be extra careful not to stain any bed sheet, pillows and towels, u have to pay back more than buying the new one, Hope the owner knows what is going on.

Not fancy but not bad...
The hotel is very basic. Not too easy to find but worth looking for. The staff are very nice, pleasant and helpful. It has no amenities to speak of. Just a quiet place to sleep with air conditioning. The TV has some english channels. Wifi can be slow. There is a great little coffee place just around the corner called S65. Their wifi is much better.

Best hotel for kindness and help
On arrival at the hotel I was greeted by a very well spoken receptionist,Ì paid the deposit and then went to my room the next day I asked about the local community and the staff were very helpful telling me about the community and good places to visit and they made me feel so welcome I enjoyed my time in the hotel and use it again.

Only for backpackers
I was staying here for 2 nights. The hotel was actually 15 minutes walk from Ekkamai BTS for young adults. Here are some cons I found during the stay: 1. The bed was very uncomfortable and super hard to sleep on. The blanket was just a thin bedframe coversheet. You would need to ask for extra "blankets" 2. There was little add-on service and traveling tools. I borrowed their blow dryer on the 1st day. They only had 1 and let other guest borrow for 2 days in a row so I hadnt have a chance to use 3. If you need any service, tell them before 10 pm since the cleaner will not be available overnight. Pros: 1. Safe area 2. Free parking lot for cars 3. Early checkin Would recommend for those who travel solo/with friends. Not family.

Nice extended stay hotel, a little far from the BT
I probably wouldn't stay here again because of the 15-minute walk to BTS, but the place was nice enough. It seems to cater more for longer stays, and the staff was pleasant and stayed out of my way for the most part which I appreciate. Internet service was a little slow at times but it did the trick. The bed was a typical Thai mattress, very hard and not altogether comfortable.

Good staff, mediocre hotel
Stayed here three nights, hotel is clean and staff were friendly. However the beds are very hard and uncomfortable but the AC worked great. You could hear other doors close from other rooms very easily. There is no restaurant at the hotel and it is hard to find. We went out to get some food and got lost several times trying to find our way back.

Some hard old bedding: @ the Aravinda for a week
I stayed at this hotel for a week with my friend. Pros: excellent, friendly service from the folks in the lobby. Cons: the bed was rock-hard (spring board bed), and from time to time ants would invade when we had food in the room. All in all, this hotel is too expensive for what it is. The immediate neighbourhood is also extremely quiet, although I understand that some guests might be looking for that vibe when visiting Bangkok.

Its a good valueable stay for the price that I was paying . what you pay for the price its definitely worth it. It has a better location at the price you are paying than some of the hotel who is about twice the rate. Nice enviroment

Great hotel, good value
Location was excellent - felt very safe walking in the area. Close to sky train & buses, very easy to get around Bangkok. Very pleasant common and outdoor spaces and the hotel staff were excellent. We arrived 2 a.m. & hotel staff were waiting to greet us. The bed wasn't the most comfortable, but it was clean & the room was spacious. Complementary water was a nice touch. Definitely good value.

very good budget hotel
It was very clean, quiet, well equipped place, and the staff was very good. Only difficulty I had was to find the place. Make sure to check the map ahead of time. Arrived in the evening and asking people around but didn't really get me to the hotel. Once I turned on my Google Maps on my phone, it was easy.

Nice reasonable hotel in Bangkok
Stayed in Bangkok 4 nights, I wanted to stay in a reasonable, but "clean" place for this trip. This place satisfied me with the clean room and reasonable price :D The distance from the station was a little bit far, but I enjoyed walking on the street and watching people's lives. If you are not good at directions, better to make sure with the map, you may get lost the way. It was a good place overall.

No frills but good stay
I first booked my stay at the Aravinda Living Home thinking I would use it as a base until I found a more permanent place to stay. 4 weeks later and I'm still there. If you're looking for a luxury stay, maybe this isn't the place for you. However, if you're budget conscious, this is a great value. You get an AC that cools the room quickly, a big bed (though some people might find it unusually hard--I like it), a hot shower,a refrigerator, sink and microwave and a free bottle of water every day. The location at first may seem far away from things, but I've discovered that all the local shops and food stalls along the way are a great way to live like the locals at a very inexpensive rate.

Cheap hotel in Bangkok
A very cheap serviced appartment in Bangkok. A walk will get you to the nearest BTS station but for your own safety you should get a taxi cab back to hotel after dark as the alleyways around hotel are dark and it does not feel too safe. So factor in the extra cost of taxi to your trip. The actual apartment is very shabby and needs a good bit of maintenance. The walls were dirty and should have been cleaned or repainted. (It looked like some bugs had been squashed on the different walls.) A window pane from the toilet that cannot be moved by guest fell off overnight into the appartment balcony, and could have caused a nasty wound if had happened whilst I was using the small balcony area. Not happy with this although it was cleaned up quickly - could have been prevented with better maintenance of building. I was asked to pay for damage that was not caused by myself.
