Hotel Name

La Porte Bangkok

Room Type:

Superior Non-Smoking

Room Description:

This room was clean enough, however very small. It had all the basic essentials in room safe, hot water, fridge, air con and in room WiFi. The receptionists desk two filipinos were frien d ly enough. Did not have the same problems as i read in the agoda reviews. Disappointingly there was no area to comfortably to some laptop work, not even a chair to sit on. The room was facing a back alley abs there was a group of people talking and drinking nearby so it was fairly noisy until around 3am.

Final Thoughts:

I liked the shower the water was hot even with the heater off, Appreciated the location, almost just across the street from Pantip Plaza. Outside lined with a handful of street food vendors. 7 eleven under 100m away.
So close to the fashion markets. This location is fanatic
I did not like how small the room was, how slow the internet was and there was nowhere to comfortably get some laptop work done. There was not even a chair to sit on. The aircon displayed the temperature in what seemed to be a big neon light sign making it hard to sleep. Was pretty noisy with nearby workers sitting drinking and talking outside on the side street
