This hotel, across a canal from Hua Lamphong station and near the Temple of the Golden Buddha, is in its fifth decade and a bit worse for wear. But it's ideally located if you arrive on a late train or are departing early in the morning. The sparsely furnished rooms are air-conditioned, the baths are clean, and the price is right—and that's about all you can say about it. Pros: the price is right; it's centrally located. Cons: old building; small rooms.
