I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and equipped with a small bathroom with a shower and hot water. The kitchenette with a microwave was very convenient, and the free tea and coffee were a nice touch. The free breakfast added to the value of the stay. However, the rooms are small and basic, lacking a balcony, but the presence of a window allowed for some natural light.

The pizzeria hotel was a gem with spacious rooms tastefully decorated and featuring lots of storage space, a walk-in shower, and a well-thought-out kitchen area. Everything was new, clean, and well-designed, but the size was a bit compact. The service was excellent, with a welcoming and helpful staff. The location did wonders to buffer street noise during the day and was right in the heart of Chinatown. The dining experience on the roof terrace was lovely, although breakfast options were a bit basic. The facilities were modern and well-maintained.

I had a mixed experience during my stay at this hotel. While the staff was friendly and helpful, the rooftop area service was very rude and abrupt. The location, although convenient to train stations and the Ratchawong Pier, didn't meet my room request expectations. On the positive side, the hotel does wonders to buffer daytime noise, making it convenient for exploring Chinatown and other tourist spots.
