Residence Rajtaevee

Noor said, "Second time stay here.The hotel clean but quite old need renovation.Water leak from aircond in the room but Good location, walking distance to shopping street, ie. Platinum, Pratunam, Central World, etc."

mark said, "Always stay here when we visit Thailand. Good value for money, off the main road but central to all the Plazza s and has a nice out door bar area. It s quite basic and in need of updating and the restaurant breakfast always luke warm to cold but then it s included in the price so can t complain. The massage/sauna area is very good but very, very pricey.Over-all the hotel is great value for money and has a nice warm reassuring feel about it after a day out on the Bangkok streets."

Fritz said, "Location is good for shopping, because Hotel is close to Siam and to Santhip Plaza/Platinum Mall. Unfortunately, Hotel rooms are lousy, carpets dirty. Hotels started renovation in 5th floor, which shall be completed after another 3 month, but now you cannot get renovated rooms, although it is mentioned! I will only choose this place again after it is clear that renovation is completed."

pua said, "haha the place is so nice and big for such a cheap dallor and the stuff also very nice in helping me to find my passport when i lost it in the taxi and the hotel is near the wholesale center everythign there so nice"

Vitaria said, "The hotel clean but quite old. we ve if you use taxi the trafic almost jam everyday"

Tyrone said, "rooms: rundown. badly need renovation. BUT 1) spacious 2)bed and pillow soft and comfy 3)quiet street its smacked in a quiet street that drivers would have a wee bit of hard time finding, but once u have the thai address at hand, should be a breeze. And its really 300meters from a free shuttle to Siam Paragon, which is on PloenChit road where all the malls, shopping and events are. Also, its 8mins walk to Ratchathewi station, 10minutes to pratunam shopping area. I d stay there again"

cristiana said, "absolutely dirty and very old.... very good positioned, good breakfast but there are in the same area same price hotels much cleaner and better maintained. will never go there again and I do not recommend it at all"

MR said, "Residence Rajtaevee, Petchburi RoadMy accommodation was big 2 bedrooms suite. Hotel is having renovations done which it does need. But Location, Location, Location is its greatest feature. Spacious bedrooms great bed and soft pillow and comfortable. Just off Petchuri Road in a quiet street it’s a little hard to find so down load in Thai for the taxi drivers, but once you have the Thai address it’s easy. The short walk for the free shuttle to Siam Paragon, which then walk through Siam and Discovery Malls to elevated walkway to MBK. Close to BTS train, Pan Tip Plaza, Platinum Mall and Pratunam shopping area. I will be a guest there again an they make you feel as a guest."

UP said, "Buona posizione per spostarsi. Colazione discreta. Prezzo conveniente, a fronte di servizi essenziali. Vecchio e malandato. Non molto pulito."

cristiana said, "the position of the hotel is just great for shopping and any skytrai connection. the hotel is terribly dirty.. stains on the walls, dirty carpets, wallpaper coming off the room doors, rusty and dirty bathrooms. I asked for a better room, but they just made me change florr but the conditions of the room where not much better then the first choise. Personell was trying to be helpful and very polite, but the room conditions where the same. Maybe they have second choise room for internet price. I have same area but even if the hotel was as old as this one or older, it was not so dirty. The pictures on internet are very very nice and give a much better look to the hotel.I will never ever choose this hotel again and of course will not recommend it to anyone."

Sharon said, "The location of this hotel is very good as it is close to the center of shopping malls. But the enviroment of this hotel is just so so. The air conditioner makes a loud noise. I think it would be a nice choice for its relatively cheap price and good location."

Mark said, "Fairly good location for a shopping excursion. It was shabbier than I expected, the bellman was quite forward about offering me prostitutes and I got fleas from the bed. Oh, and the breakfast was not worth the effort.Next time I swing through Bangkok I ll try another place."

Noor said, "Great location, very easy access for shopping (Pratunam wholesale, MBK, Siam Paragon etc). Rooms are big (2 bedrooms Suite) but very old and need instant renovation but Staffs are great, very helpful, friendly, polite and 5 star service two thumbs up ( make me forget about the room condition)."

Harleny said, "Rooms were wuite run down but general facilities were great. staffs - from the bellman to wait staff - are very friendly. location-wise is also very good as theres a 7-11 just outside on the main road. and lots of food hawkers along the road and its within walking distance so very convenient to satisfy your hunger pangs!"

Yen said, "Cheap but nice & comfortable hotel.Four of us Helpful Hotel s staff. Reasonable room rate. In the city, Just 5 mins walk to all shopping malls. It s let me really relax myself when staying there. Nice Hotel."

Anne said, "Siisti hyvä hotelli aivan Pantipin ja muiden ostoshelvettien / paratiisien vieressä, mutta sivukadulla, joten liikenteen äänet eivät haittaa. Aamiainen ok. Hotellin hinta laatusuhde (tällä alueella) ok. Ei mitään negatiivista yhden yön kokemuksella."

May said, "Good location, walking distance to shopping street, ie. Platinum, Pratunam, Central World, etc. Consistently good rate during Christmas week at 1000baht which was recommendable. The in house spa was good & reasonably priced. Staffs were warm & helpful, they even helped me to go to the bank to bank in money for my Chao Phraya Cruise. However, the hotel rooms need a complete overhaul. Furnitures & toilet were old, but luckily the bed s comfortable. Be sure to request for a non-smoking room in ur reservation. I ll return for the cheap rate, but with a higher budget, i would try other hotels nearby."

Maggy said, "Good location, quiet, and friendly atmosphere, good breakfast, friendly and helpful receptionist and staffs. My daughter like this place she especially enjoyed the shuttle to Siam Paragon. The rooms need some improvement though, the sound of the old AC was loud and the electricity connection looks ruined"

Margaret said, "Very good budget hotel choice. Staff was friendly and helpful, room basic and, while definitely in need of at least a good painting,was comfortable and fine otherwise. The buffet breakfast was enjoyed by all and we also liked the convenience of the onsite computer room (modest cost) and lovely spa also located on the premises. The hotel s entry and lounge are neat and, for us, the location was perfect. Would definitely return on a future trip to Bangkok."

Ivan said, "The staff is friendly and generally helpful. As the hotel is still undergoing renovation, the physical condition of the place is not ideal. Not being able to pay for other incurred charges at the hotel by VISA without extra surcharge is not very nice either. Otherwise, as mentioned, the friendly staff made the stay pleasant and enjoyable."

Erlina said, "Hotel was ok. Its not wow but definately clean. The Kitchen facilities was lousy. No kettle to boil hot water.Location wise is good. Near to all the shopping area. Staffs are friendly. Would stay there again if i ever visit Bangkok again."

Pervez said, "The hotel was just what I wanted - nice and comfortable, as well as affordable. Sure, there was some peeling wallpaper, etc. but I wasn t looking for 5-star luxury - just a place to spend the night. Even better was the fact that it s so close to the Pratunam street markets as well as Pantip Plaza (electronics/IT mall). The staff was friendly, my room was clean, and the breakfast was better than I expected! Taxi from the airport cost me 400 bahts. Luckily I used Google Maps to print out the location to show the driver - the Spa Buri sign is more prominent than the hotel s. Would recommend it to anyone else, especially if your focus for shopping is electronic goods."

Woo said, "The hotel is clean and neat. The location is good as near to the BTS station and numerous shopping centre. It quiet but there is some renovation going on during daytime."

Ugo said, "Camere spartane ma pulite. Ottima la posizione, tranquilla e strategica per gli spostamenti. Nel complesso buon rapporto prezzo qualità. Consigliato per chi non ha grandi pretese"

Mr said, "Reception ok, breakfast fair, but rooms in very poor condition (hotel openned 25 years ago). Location OK since yo are 10min walk to BTS. Pratunam, Pantib just next in case you need some elctroic applainces or a shirt. Overall location not so great as the main road is one of the busiste of BKK so it take quiet a long time to reach the hotel (note also that taxis dont know this palce).Worse and more important the room look very tired : fournitures, carpet with holes and falling apart, even had bed sheets with old red stuff which I guess was blood drops.If you need a night hotel to sleep in BKK considering the price could be recommend but you have at the same rate an other option which is the Kosoan Road area: for the same rate you will have far better rooms."

chc said, "value for money.great location, just 7 mins walk to skytrain.right infront of first hotel and 7-eleven.friendly staff and allows late check out. certain floors under renovations.rooms clean and cosy hotel.highly recommended for travellers."

Victor said, "Rooms were clean & cozy. Furnitures & fittings a bit old. Breakfast spread was good. Love them pancakes! Situated smack in the center of bangkok. Free shuttle to Siam Paragon or 5 mins walk. Walking distance to Pantip, Platinum, Central, MBK. Siam Sq BTS only 5 to 10mins. Taxi rides to these places less than 100bht. 45mins to airport 400bht. Friendly staff. Value for money. Will be back."

ITAY said, "Great location, simple room, very good hospitallity"

Bryan said, "Opposite to First Hotel with a short 3mins walk into the small lane. Rather convenient if you do not mind walking to MBK and Platinium. Friendly staff, can request for hot water flask from cafe before 11pm. Very peaceful at night and provide the most basic stuff. Will consider if i need to do more wholesale shopping."

bryan said, "Front desk staff - Excellent.House keeping - Need improvement, smile more. This hotel is rather convenient if you do not mind walking for about 15~20mins to Siam Discovery/Siam Centre/MBK/Siam Paragon. The room rate and breakfast provided is reasonable. Platinium/IT Mall is about 10~15mins walk. Will consider this location if need to do more garment shopping."

Nick said, "Hotel is ok - clean - no bugs. Friendly staff.Beds and furniture is old. Noisy aircon.Breakfast is made at 0600h and it is best to eat it while it s hot. Coffee is not good, tastes awful. No real orange juice but a substitute. Hotel is in walking distance to Platinum, Siam and Pantip plaza.7-11 around the corner. Forget the two hair dresser next to the hotel. They are not good.I ll stay again at this hotel if the price remains at or below 900 baht/night. It is not worth more than that."

Lai said, "Stay from 20 August to 23 Aug 2007. Glad to note that Residence Rajtaevee has started their renovation. Great place to stay and near to Pratum Shopping Mall and MBK ( 2o minutes stroll walk . Highly recommended hotel for a price you pay for. Staff very helpful and pleasant."

Wong said, "We were very happy with the stay and services. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, always putting on smiling faces and greeting us. The room and environment were nice. The breakfast was good. The location was convenient. There s a free Gem Car service just 1-minite walking distance down the road to take us to the main road, and we could then take BTS to many places. The shopping complexes were also reachable on foot from there. Overall, I m happy to have chosen this hotel, and I will surely stay there again if I travel to Bangkok. Kap Khun Krap!"

How said, "This is one of the worst hotel i have ever it was just the same. There was absolutely nothing in the room, except for 1 bloody small TV and 2 bottles of water. No kettle, no clock, no tissue paper, hot water didn t work, bath tub was dirty & clogged up.,etc. The list goes on.Although the hotel looks fairly decent from the outside, the room is really bad. Everything is old & coming apart. It s really time for some renovation and improved service."

Jaki said, "Great little hotel for the price. Nice clean comfortable rooms, nice breakfast room, internet and bar area outside. Friendly staff. Spa s pretty special as well. It s difficult to find somewhere of this standard in a good location at such a great price in Bangkok."

Daniel said, "Hotel was good, however they did try to give us a double room as they saw it was a male/female combo when i had booked a twin, they changed the room but it didnt look like it had been cleaned properly."

Jaslyn said, "Nice cosy lobby. This make us expect more for the rooms but the rooms are equiped with basic facilities only. Good service from Hotel staff. Location is really good. Walking distance from sky train and shopping areas like Platinium Mall, Pratunam... Since we are in bangkok mainly for shopping, we won t be spending much time in hotel room. Definitely value for money. With a ATM just outside the Hotel, withdrawing money is not an issue if you do not have enough money to take taxi on your last day.A little difficult to spot initally. Can tell taxi driver Residence Hotel (near First Hotel). Once you pass the Indonesia Embassy on the left hand side, turn left into a small lane. Look out for the sign: Residence Rajtaevee or Spa Buri."

Aniza said, "Honestly, it was below my expectations. The room service ends at 2300hours. There is no kettle provided in de family suite. The receptionist told us they dunt have a jug so, they cant deliver hot water to us. So, we were starving as we cant even make cup noodles. There was no iron provided as well. Stove was not working. Room was not well decorated shown online. The staff were polite though. OK if u just need the room to sleep in."

Daniel said, "Hotel was great, Staff very friendly. Not one problem during my visit and planning on staying there again later in my trip"

Sahtarry said, "First time here. 2 bdrm suite which is big, nice clean comfortable rm. Although decoration outdated, my kids enjoyed the place. Thumb s up for the friendly staff and great service. Walking distance to sky train and shopping malls such as Platinum mall, Pantip Plaza and Pratunam. Easy Access to major shopping centres such as MBK and all the SIAMS Mall. One thing that dissappoint me is that the stove is not working and there s no kettle. It s really troublesome to keep on asking for hot water as my kids need it for making milk. But overall we enjoyed staying there and will be back for it."

Iskandar said, "It was a 2 bdrm suite for my family of 5 which i think it has seen its better days and outdated. The aircond in the main room wasnt working properly and with all aircond units on, the noise seemed like theres a turbine in the ceiling. Facilities are basic but adequate for a small place like Res. Rajtaevee. Frontdesk staff were generally polite with fair understanding of english language except for one thin lady who never seemed to smile. The other staffs were very generous with the Thai smile but not the cleaning maids. Tucked discreetly in a lane so no noise from Petchburi rd. Most shoppping centers, markets and skytrain are within a block from here. Our bad experience was being accused during checking out, of stealing a saucer from the kitchen which we adamantly denied. They politely said it would cost us 100baht for the stupid saucer and we paid just to get out of there since our limo was waiting and we wanted to get to the airport on time. So be warned and make your own inventory list as you enter the room and confirm it with the hotel since they dont have any. Overall cheap, basic and easily accessible but next time i will pay slightly more for a better hotel across the road."

Gavin said, "hotel was great for location,close to all major and new shopping centres etc.from the outside,hotel looks beautiful,just like in the pictures,lobby,restaurant,spa,email centre,front bar/sitting area is all spick and clean and fresh.however rooms,are very much in need of refurbishment,even if its a new coat of paint will brighten the rooms up.the family suite was BIG i must admit,just the decor and furnishings needs to be updated.also i must comment on the staff.very well spoken and polite.except room maid was very miserable..all other staff were very friendly,helpfuli would stay at this hotel again,mainly for its location"

Graham said, "What can one say that hasn t been said before....its still cheap, conveniently located for the shopping freaks, in need of renovations and a little hard to find(you would think either the hotel or Sawadee.com would upgrade their location guide map on the website... maybe to include the info in Thai similar to the simple location map on the hotel s card that is available once you have arrived). We were on the 4th floor in rm 407... and as with rms 405 and 409... windows only overlooked very small void to support airconditioners only, hence very dark and noisy if you opened the window/curtains for light or air. Much brighter and bigger rooms are the even No s. 410-16 and No s 409-13."

Boon said, "A good location. Quiet location. Near the skytrain to shopping centre. 1st trip to Bangkok. The room is a bit run down, but okay to live for the price. Make sure you have towel and floor towel in the bathroom. I used the floor towel as bath towel instead cos there is no bath towel. The breakfast was good. I will come back for another budget trip."

Boon said, "A bit run down. But quiet and near to skytrain. Good for low budget."

Henry said, "This hotel location is quite convience. You can take Airport shuttle bus and stop at First Hotel which the hotel is just opposite of it. However, the room is a bit old, if you dont mind."

Testut said, "Location is the major asset of this hotel.Breakfast good I my room was ok but needed to be refreshed. Aircon a bit noisy.Elevator was out of order so it was a bit of problem for those staying at the 5th floor.For that price nothing realy to complain about."

Nicholas said, "Located conveniently at the heart of Pratunam, in a quiet lane second block from the main street next to Indonesian Embassy. Easy access by foot to Pantip Plaza, Platinum Fashion house, Central@World and Big C. About 10 mins walking distance to Ratchathewi BTS. Outside hotel is very nicely decorated with nice ambience. Lobby and restaurant are small but clean and filled with essential oil scent. One lift servicing five floors of hotel rooms. If you wanna have wireless internet service from hotel, check with the receptionist for a room that can receive the signal, prepaid internet access available at 60Bht. an hour. Room is clean, free from odour/mosquito/ants, with a king size bed, clean toilet and bath tub. Hot shower is working fine even though the shower is hanging midway the wall, so you may either squat or standup holding the shower handle while taking your shower. Furnitures are a bit old, air con is noisy and the room we had is facing the side of a next building, hence not a beautiful sight when you look out the window. Buffet breakfast is provided with orange juice, pineapple juice and tea or coffee. Staffs are helpful and kind. Metered taxi to new Suvarnabhumi airport is only about 350Bht. using the toll highway and took us about 30 mins to reach on a clear early sunday morning @7am."

Jexon said, "What I liked best about the hotel: location. Walking distance to Central World, Pratunam, BTS ,etc. Yet, it s off the main road so it s quiet even when u sit outside their reception.I also liked the breakfast and the service. Rooms were clean & quiet, though looked a bit old. What could be better:Shower/bathtub: Didn t need a bathtub. But it can be difficult to stand in the bathtub while showering. Also, the spot to hang the shower head was too low.TV channels were limited. No sports or movie channel (but if you re lucky, they ll play DVDs on 1 of the channels).Overall, excellent budget place."
