New Siam II

Room was ok but a little small as was the bathroom. Reasonably clean. The whole place is a little dated but overall wasn't too bad. The pool was very clean and just right on a warm day but can be a bit crowded. Breakfast was good but it was the same everyday. The room is only serviced when requested though water and toilet paper can be picked up at reception. Plenty of food and markets just at the back of the property that are a couple of minutes walk and always very busy. All of the staff were very nice and friendly.

All the staff I interacted with were very friendly and helpful. There was plenty of hot water for the shower. The air conditioning worked well. The room had a fridge, kettle, coffee sachets, tea bags, TV, hair dryer and a safe. The room was provided with 2 x 500ml bottles of water per day on request. The balcony was accessed by stepping over the sliding door frame. The pool is quite a good size. The breakfast included fruit, yoghurts, some cereal, bread, butter, jam/marmalade, french toast, pancakes, eggs (fried and scrambled), sausages, hot meat and vegetable dishes. Coffee, tea and fruit juice were also available. The property has a restaurant/bar that offers good value food and drink. The property is quiet but in a good location to access good local restaurants/bars as well as the more raucous Khao San area

The room was newly refurbished with a small but functional shower room. Nice pool with a few sun loungers. There was a decent selection on the breakfast buffet, and the restaurant food was delicious. Very close to the river and hop on/off ferry, sunset and evening cruises. The lovely relaxing Rambuttri Alley was 5 minutes walk away and lively Koa San road about 10 mins. Nice hotel in a good area.

The hotel is very well placed in the old town close to pier so you can easily take the boat and go to different tourist attractions. Also close to sightseeing bus so quite good central location. The hotel overall is very nice the room is clean and modern and the best the food is very good as well, quality and price. I would say there are the lowest prices in the area. The breakfast is divers and also good quality.

New Siam II for me was a perfect alternative to all the luxury, modern highrise hotels in Bangkok. I wanted to give my kids a feeling how it is when you backpack through Asia. It is not as basic as I remember back in the 80's and 90's, but you can still taste the atmosphere here. Relaxed and safe walking distance (10 minutes) to Khao san rd. Rooms with good airconditioning. And a swimming pool which is much appreciated when coming back from walking to all the nearby sights. Rooms are a bit smaller then in the pics. Good breakfast. Don't forget to go to China town in the evenings for good food!! I would go back here anytime.
