42 Guesthouse

The people are really kind, and it feels quiet and authentic here. I stayed for 3 weeks as a Thaï person and felt at home. If you want the soi life while staying close to malls and other facilities, this is the best place.

I love the neighborhood, and this is where I always stay when I come to Bangkok. It's clean, convenient and quiet, with lots of shared spaces and good WiFi. Just know what kind of place it is: don't expect a hotel. The rooms are tiny, most have no windows, and the walls are thin. It's closer to a hostel, though you get more privacy. For hostel-type accommodation, definitely five stars. Love it.

My room was damp, smelled moldy and had a very wet floor. I contacted the staff, but they didn't do anything. They knew there was a problem and still tried to have me stay there. There were hardly any staff at the inn unless you called them. The dorms at other inns are more comfortable. Worst hotel.

We stayed because the price was good, and for that, I think the place is fine. The room is small but enough for one person, simple and cozy. It's convenient and safe, near the metro and shopping malls, and has everything you need for saving money and setting off on trips. I don't smoke, so I didn't go to the sixth floor. On my checkout day, the working sister there helped me talk with the taxi driver. I really appreciate that.
