Most of the guests at this hotel on Surawongse Road are from Japan, perhaps because of the many Japanese businesses in the immediate area. But its location near Lumphini Park, Patpong's night market, and Silom Road makes it an appealing option for anyone. Standard rooms are small and windowless, so make sure to ask for one of the deluxe rooms. There's not much of a view, however. The hotel offers traditional Thai massage, and there is also a row of traditional massage centers on the soi. Sarika Cafe, at the mouth of the soi, is a good little restaurant if the hotel's coffee shop doesn't do it for you. Pros: happening location; very affordable deluxe rooms. Cons: boring room decor; some families don't like proximity to nightlife.
