My stay at the ASAI Chinatown hotel was a mix of positive and frustrating experiences. The location is a bit removed from central Bangkok, but it's a paradise for food lovers. The surrounding street food is outstanding, with authentic homemade noodles and incredibly fresh, reasonably priced crab. I'd advise skipping the larger Chinese-run restaurants, as I found them less welcoming to solo travelers.||||The hotel itself is clean and modern. However, the housekeeping was inconsistent; it took three requests over two days to finally receive face towels (though they then provided four!). The reception staff were generally helpful, but my request for a late checkout was firmly refused, forcing me to leave my luggage.||||My departure was particularly stressful. With only one staff member at the desk, the front office manager was occupied on a personal phone call. I had to wait an unnecessarily long time before she attended to me. After retrieving my bags, I had to rush to catch my flight.||||Verdict: For a short trip to Bangkok, I believe you can find better accommodations in more central areas like Siam, Silom, or Sukhumvit. It's not a bad hotel, but the service hiccups make it just "okay" for me.
