Super OYO 484 Pannee Residence Khaosan Sha Plus

Very good

close to khaosan road, without the loud music. 24hr reception. helpfull staff. value for money,

would have stayed longer, but the following day, got booked out quickly

The location, the hotel itself and the dedication of the staff.

Nothing.

The location is top-notch. It's right next door to a 7/11, which is key to keeping any hotel room stocked. It's not yet near a trolley station that would connect it to the futuristic public transport infrastructure of greater Bangkok, so you'll have to make do with walking or with frequent use of taxi services. Whereas Maxim is the popular mobile taxi app in Vientiane, Laos, Bolt is the one to use for Bangkok. That's important to remember so as to avoid waiting indefinitely for a Maxim driver in Bangkok.

My only complaints about the room are that it was very cramped with no desk space and that the WiFi situation was catastrophic after the first couple of days. I suppose I could have opted to go the paid route but just getting set up in a room in the first place is enough bureaucracy for one short stay. So I brought my computer with me on sightseeing walks, then to Starbucks downtown in order to stay connected without running out my monthly cellular service quota using tethering. This stands in stark contrast to other hotels where WiFi is simply free and always available, and there is enough space for a real desk. This one simple improvement could make or break their business, even without larger rooms. As for a desk, were it not for the problematic WiFi situation I would have settled for using the stool as a desk and the bed as a chair. I was moreover unable to patronize the diverse and apparently excellent local restaurants and cafes because the WiFi situation forced me to plan around Starbucks, which are located downtown but not so much uptown near the hotel. At Starbucks in Thailand, I can always count on WiFi and power outlets. For others, I'd have to spend valuable time scouting them out individually for space and infrastructure.
