** Must Read: Totally Not Recommended!

I stayed at this guest house for 5 nights and had a very disappointing experience. It falsely claims to be a "HOTEL & serviced residence," but it doesn't meet those standards.
- **Overrated Rating:** 4-star rating is not justified; better 5-star hotels are nearby.
- **Unhelpful Staff:** Staff were strange and mishandled luggage security requests and reluctantly offered help.
- **Reception Issues:** Many times, NO staff were present at reception regarding how they handled luggages.
- **Bizarre Maintenance:** No notice in advance for maintenance arrangements in the room caused confusion, with 2 days during my short 5 nights stay.
- **Location Concerns:** Narrow, dangerous , quiet street with many cars. Saw 10 2m-long iguanas in the river right outside guest house, it’s alarming. They climb up to rest and no fences right outside guest house.
- **Pool Quality:** Uninviting swimming pool; photos were misleading.
- **Room Cleanliness:** Bathtub and wash basin had red stains, the room was unclean, and insects were present even after pest control. And the furnitures were old.
- **Strange Staff:** Odd male staff knocked on our door at 12AM, asking if we needed help generally (in vague terms), that we have already received our requested bottled water an hour earlier.
- **Recommendation:**
Overall, I wouldn't recommend this guest house to anyone.

### Must Read: Totally Not Recommended!

I recently stayed at this guest house for 5 nights, and it was a disappointing experience. It should not call itself a "HOTEL & serviced residence." This term is misleading, as it doesn't meet hotel standards. It's overrated with a 4-star rating and expensive for what it offers. Better 5-star hotels are nearby, like Grande Central Point Hotel, close to the BTS station.

The staff were unhelpful and strange. I repeatedly asked them to store our luggages inside for security, but they insisted on keeping them outside in the corridor. After much insistence, they reluctantly complied. I've traveled extensively and never encountered such careless luggages handling.

During my stay, many people lingered in the lobby, and sometimes no staff were present at reception regarding how they handled luggages, even during the day. I expected at least one staff member to be available.

The guest house had bizarre arrangements. They scheduled pest control and posted a notice in the lift. Another day, they called to check windows and perform maintenance without prior notice. It would have made sense to do all maintenance at once to avoid inconveniencing guests.

The location was misleading. Google Maps said it was a 7-minute walk, but the narrow street had many cars and was dangerous. If you mind walking long stairs to the BTS station, this guest house isn't for you.

I saw about 10 iguanas, around 2 meters long, in the river outside our room. They also roamed near the pedestrian path. It's alarming, especially with no fences in some areas. The guest house should mention this on their booking site.

Regarding the swimming pool, don't expect much. The photos are idealized—no inflatable dolls and old chairs with holes. Many pigeons fly over the pool, adding to the unappealing atmosphere.

The room wasn't clean. There were red stains in the bathroom and wash basin. The bathroom was slippery, posing a safety hazard. The guest house and room were old and didn't match the photos online. We found flying insects daily, even without opening windows. We killed some ourselves, but more appeared after pest control. And the furnitures were old.

A strange incident occurred with a male staff member. We requested bottled water after forgetting to turn off the "Do Not Disturb" button. An hour later, around 12 AM, we got the water, which was late. Soon after, the male staff came to our room asking what we needed. This felt odd and concerning. Why come to our room so late instead of calling?

Overall, I expected much better service and luggage security with similar budget. **I would not recommend this guest house to anyone.**

The hotel is very old and full of Aspergillus funghi and mold. Although they are telling you 20 times that smoking is not allowed, everyone smokes and the smell can be sent easily. The boys and girls who clean the rooms are very nice and polite. The air conditioning system is very old and noisy. No cafe on ground floor. Its better to book Urbana Hotel on the next street.
