We stayed in Room 616 for a month, it was 14,000 Baht with a 5000 baht deposit, and 200 Baht key deposit. Generally we liked the place, it was extremely clean, the staff were mostly friendly, and it has a nice Cafe serving Western style breakfasts for a reasonable cost. There is a nice lobby area, although you will need mosquito repellent at night time.||||The bad points, you will be staying next to an extremely busy road, at nighttime the local youths race up and down on motorbikes that are fit only for the scrapyard - it's very noisy and you will need earplugs. I didn't get a good night's sleep in on whole month that I was there. Also the internet is terrible, they have very cheap Chinese networking equipment that is not fit for purpose. Your best bet is to go to the reception area and use the Wifi, it's better there of course ;)||||Another thing that contributed to my Insomnia was the bed, it was very big but very hard, unfortunately this is normal by Asian standards.||||The room also had a wardrobe, a small flatscreen TV, a workdesk and a refrigerator. You can have a kettle if you leave a 500 Baht deposit. There are two armchairs in the room but they are impossible to sit on as they are as hard as a rock.||||Another minus is the lighting, there is a round main ceiling light but it gives out a horrible glow, we had to keep it off as much as possible. In addition, there was no bedside lights at all, so reading was impossible unless you wanted the main light on making you feel like you were in a morgue.||||In room 616 there was also a balcony which was useful for drying laundry(although there was no laundry dryer), nevertheless there is a tumble dryer downstairs. During the late afternoon you can lie down on the balcony and sunbathe which was good.||||The shower in the bathroom was good, we always had hot water.||||There is also nice small gym with dumbells up to 25KG, a bench, a situp bench, running machine, and cross skiing machine. If you need a proper gym, then about 200 metres away is "Gold Hillside Plaza Gym" It costs 1000 Baht per month, big place, with old equipment, but does the job.||||The clientele of the place was mostly golfers and elderly American retirees who live there, they could be a bit noisy sometimes at breakfast.||||The location is good, close to two shopping malls and Nimman Area.||||Nevertheless it's unlikely we would stay there again because of the bed, the pollution and noise and the internet. In addition, it was expensive for what you get, and you also have to pay electricity charges on top(500 Baht for a month, we didn't use aircon though)
