luv u long time 101 #1 Posted April 10, 2010 I had an unexpected short stay in Bangkok in the middle of my recent holiday, so needed a place to drop my bags, so nothing too expensive was needed. Tim at Thai Hotel Discounts sorted me out with Darjelling Hotel. He has a negotiated rate for 1220 baht per night, which includes breakfast. Positives: Location - On the Suk Rd, so just a hop skip and a jump from the action Price - For this money, it is difficult to beat given the Suk Rd location Modern - nice and modern feel to the hotel No joiner fee Negatives: Room size - Quite a small room, but fine if you are lone traveller with overnight guests Swimming Pool - Dont be fooled by the website saying, "Swimming Pool". At best this is a large bath and its location in the hotel is just not somehwere you would use to chill out. Summary: Ideal for budget accommodation without compromising on really far away location or old/tired decor. Would I use this place again? Yes I would, but only if I couldn't get the usual discount deals with the bigger hotels that I usually stay at. Make sure you take a copy of the map of where the hotel is along with their telephone number as it is hidden behind a big apartment block and is not obvious place to find. Tim was his usual super-efficient self and I have yet to receive anything but fast/friendly service. I would always recommend giving him a try when looking for a hotel in Thailand. He is very honest and gives lots of information. Here's a few pics I took for the forum as the availavble pics were quite limited when I tried to google the place. And now.......for the 'swimming pool' 1 Jamie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
