Recently spent 5 days here whilst sorting out a wedding license. Outside of town & off a very busy road. However is set back through a small entrance & is a genuine oasis of quiet calm. Suites are comfortable and roomy. Whilst non alcoholic establishment had no problems with us drinking on the verandah of an evening. Close to ferry service & never any problems hailing a cab but not near tourist sites or central areas such as Silom. Only real complaint was restaurant - good food but it seemed that at any one time around 60% of it was not availability or had run out.

“Charming Value near Yahnee Internation Hospital”

I chose Resort Bangphlat specifically to be near Yahnee Hospital.

I chose Resort Bangphlat specifically to be near Yahnee Hospital. I booked for one night to recuperate from a surgery as I really didn't want to deal with trying to navigate public transport or even a taxi when sedated and with facial bruises and swelling. I arrived at the resort at 9am and dropped my bag off. Finding it was more challenging than I had anticipated, even though I had downloaded a map prior. I thought it would be on the main road but it's down a side street and the sign directing you is not in English. I spent a good 5-10 mins wondering up and down the main road which was really unpleasant in the heat and in a non-tourist friendly area. The receptionist spoke minimal English so it took me a while to convey what I wanted. in addition the receptionist couldn't find my booking and wanted my booking number or a printed copy of my booking from hotelclub. He was unable to provide me with a wi-fi password in English so I could get online on my mobile phone to provide this. They also charge extra for early check-in but I only realised this at the hotel where the information is on the desk. It was about 3.30pm by the time I returned from Yahnee, which is about 2km away and took me 15 minutes to walk. I was taken to my room, which was a $39 a night basic/standard room. I was impressed with the quality of the accommodation and the grounds. The grounds are lush and clean- full of plants and it's like an oasis compared to the grime and traffic and noise of the main street. The room is more of a mini-house with the bedroom, t.v and airconditoner upstairs. You have to go outside to use the staircase to get to the lower part of your bungalow. This lower part can be locked and had 3 rooms- a toilet/bathroom, a dressing room (with mirror and dresser and chair) and a mini- loungeroom with 2 chairs,a table and a mini fridge. No cooling. It was a really strange and impractical design but was was of good quality. Water was included and there were bathrobes and some grungy slippers. Dispensers of body wash and shampoo. There was also a chair outside each bungalow. Whilst I found the furnishings quite charming all and all it was a bit of a frustrating set-up. Every time you had to lose the bathroom or fridge you had to go outside, in full-view, to acess the staircase. The downstairs sans cooling was very hot so you couldn't sit there for too long so the space felt wasted. The shower was not enclosed so it would wet the toilet although I'm noticing that this is a common feature in the cheaper hotels. For me, recovering from a surgery and desiring somewhere comfortable and private, unfortunately Resort Bangphlat didn't suit me. I was scared to go down the stairs in case I fell whilst still under sedation. Fortunately it felt safe and was quiet so i didn't encounter anyone whilst outside. ( As it's set a reasonable distance off the main road and you have to pass through a manned reception to get to the hotel there is minimal chance of anyone bar hotel guests being present.) There were some street eats and a 7/11 very close by, a huge Tesco Lotus supermarket and mall were also 5 minutes walk away but not much else in the area. The general area is quite dingy and I didn't feel at ease walking the streets locally. Am American breakfast was included but as it was just some cookies, nescafe coffee,a fruit and white toast, I didn't partake. Wi-fi was free and of acceptable quality. Resort Bangphlat may suit people who have cars and use this as a base to travel to other parts of Bangkok or those wanting somewhere near Yahnee Hospital IF you can cope with the exterior staircase. I would also advise the staff to add an English sign on the main road to assist English speaking tourists to locate them.

“Une parenthèse thaï dans une ville moderne...”

Le resort est organisé comme une ruelle avec des bungalows à droite et à gauche en bois de style thaï. Le quartier est loin du centre et pas touristique du tout, avec des travaux pour le train. Très pratique pour aller au Yanhee Hospital (centre hospitalier de chirurgie esthétique moderne et connu), mais c'est tout. Sinon, la Deluxe room est confortable, c'est calme et l'air conditionné fonctionne bien. Resort tenu par des musulmans donc pas d'alcool à consommer. Pour 1750 baht, c'est bien pour Bkk. Bon accueil à la réception

“Un hôtel économique en dehors de la zone principale.”

J'ai décidé de séjourner dans un hôtel de style thaï loin du centre-ville de Bangkok et j'ai trouvé cet hôtel-boutique serait un changement agréable.

J'ai décidé de séjourner dans un hôtel de style thaï loin du centre-ville de Bangkok et j'ai trouvé cet hôtel-boutique serait un changement agréable. Malheureusement, je n'y ai passé qu'une nuit au lieu des deux que j'avais payé. C'était à cause de plusieurs raisons. Principalement le Wifi était mauvais, donc je n'ai pas pu l'utiliser dans la chambre. La chambre était aussi assez petite et vieux, pas seulement un petit placard fermé sécurisé. La salle de bains était vieille et petite et le lit était très dur. La vieille télévision fonctionnait assez bien et il y avait quelques programmes en anglais, mais il y avait un espace très limité de surface de travail pour s'asseoir et utiliser mon ordinateur. Le personnel était excellent, mais je dirais que légèrement au-dessus d'un backpacker hotel et pour à peu près le même prix Ibis ou même Red Planet sont mieux options.

Belle chambre avec accès Wi-Fi gratuit, un personnel aimable, un bon petit déjeuner (mais le choix n'est pas tellement de choix). Nous avons réservé Bangphlat Resort pour 5 nuits, mais nous sommes restés à l'hôtel uniquement pour 2 nuits en raison des travaux de construction et la circulation dense autour de l'hôtel. Un bon choix pour séjourner si vous voulez vous balader autour de l'île Ratanakosin et expérience de la vie locale.
