The hotel is centrally located with Anusarn Night Market just a stone's throw away. There is a plethora of eateries serving Thai food, western food, as well as fast-food outlets like Burger King and McDonald's, and cafes like Starbucks all within a 5-10 minute radius.
Slightly farther is Pantip Plaza which houses a Big C supermarket, Watson's, KFC, a shabu-shabu restaurant, computer shops, beauty salon and massage, etc. At night, the whole area comes alive with roadside stalls selling all manner of items. Tuk-tuks and songthaews can be hailed from the main road. A leisurely 30-minute walk takes you to Warorot Market.
While the hotel room is generally clean and spacious (mine was a deluxe room on the 3rd floor), the bed and pillows are slightly hard and toiletries provided are very basic - only two bars of soap. It was also a tad noisy at night as I could hear the live music emanating from the Anusarn Night Market below. The buffet breakfast was limited but adequate.
Arguably, the hotel's best asset is its staff. The counter staff (I was attended to by a gentleman whose name begins with 'W'), though rather gruff at first, turned out to be helpful in giving recommendations and helping me book tours through Journey. The bellboy Kritsada would always greet me cheerfully and he even offered to take photos of me at the lobby. I was charmed by their hospitality and it made my stay all the more memorable.
