Buddy Lodge
Strategically located at the corner of Khao San and Tanao roads, this faux-colonial-style hotel contributed greatly to the upgrading of Khao San Road and continues to uphold standards. The superior rooms are comfortable, but the deluxe ones are worth the extra expense for the added space and bigger balconies. The decor is bright and cheery, with lots of natural wood. You'll appreciate the rooftop pool after a day of trekking around the Old City.
