Vaboir Lodge-Bangkok

We stayed in Vaboir Lodge Royal Suite while in Bangkok booked through booking.com at a cheap price of THB1800 for 3 nights without breakfast. If you wish to avail breakfast, its available at THB50, which you'll have to pay at the reception. The breakfast which we tried only on our last day consisted of two sunny side up egg, a piece of sausage, a slice of ham and a 1 slice of bread. You have to choose between coffee and orange juice, you cant have both! You'll obviously won't get full with this breakfast plate!
The room had a king size bed, a sofa, 21-inch cabled tv, a mini fridge and complimentary sachet of instant coffee, bottled water and toothbrust set. The room was clean though and the wardbrobe smells old when you open it, and with only two hangers inside. There is no safety deposit box. Unless if you requested for it, complimentary ameneties like coffee, shampoo and bottled water will not be replaced. Hot water is upon request but once you call reception it will be delivered in an instant.

The hotel is located in a residential district surrounded with greeneries very far from the action. If you are in Bangkok for a short touristic trip, I do not recommend this unless if your willing to spend at least 100 baht to reach the nearest mrt station every time you go out. From the hotel we took a taxi going to the Grand Palace and paid about 250 baht, double that for the return trip. The traffic was terrible too! We were stuck in the street for more than an hour. We planned to check out early after our first night due to bad location but since we only had 3 days in Bangkok we decided to just stay anyway the staff were extremely helpful and always smiling. They always give a warm reception. On our last day, we asked the reception where is the nearest market to buy green Thai mango and they offered us complimentary tuktuk-like service which was great. If not for the very nice staff, I will regret having booked this hotel.
