"Right in the middle of Bangkok’s famous Khao San Road and originally a backpackers’ haven, this hotel is rapidly becoming upscale but still retains its youthful and vibrant feel."

"The most stylish and expensive hotel on Khao San and right in the thick of the action."

Specify an upper-floor location away from Khao San to ensure a quieter night’s sleep.
