Welcome Sawasdee Inn

( 2 stars , Bangkok , Thailand )

Hotel is quite good located few minutes by walking to Khao San Road (5min) but a bit pricey for what they give u.Can get kind of the same or better for less money around there.

Day 1 18th Nov.07 - Checked in but receptionist cannot find my booking even though presented with Asiarooms.com voucher. After half an hour, unwillingly gave me a room without towels. Request for towel was not given immediately.Have to wait for more than one hour and still no towel. Finally, went out without bath. Day 2 19th Nov.07 - Room was not clean and have to request cleaning. Day 3 20th Nov.07 - Denied breakfast even though booking comes with breakfast and was given on Day 2. Receptionist said under the Voucher printed from Asiarooms.com under Special Remarks "A child under 12 must share the room without extra bed (no breakfast). The receptionist insist no breakfast and pointed out in bracket - "no breakfast". I explained to her many times that you simply cannot plucked the word out but after some argument, she called her supervisor from another Sawadee hotel to clarify and was confirmed breakfast was inclusive without offering any apology. Room was not clean again!!! Day 4 21st Nov.07 - Have to wait for a few minutes before the receptionist on handphone finished her private conversation to attend to us as if she can't see us standing in front of her. Day 5 22nd Nov.07 - Finally, check out. Oh what a deal!!! I will NEVER use this hotel and I will strongly do NOT recommend WELCOME SAWADEE. You will get terribly irritated and agitated. Hotel around Khaosan Road have better rate and room especially Khaoson Palace at Baht550 compare to the Welcome Sawadee which is old and needs renovation. I suggest the hotel management send their front desk receptionist for rehabilation or early retirement before the hotel hit dirt bottom as their other sister SAWADEE hotel group personnel are more capable. tt

I have booked this hotel for my son and his 2 friends, because i booked with your website before and it was ok (World Lodge). But this time: We have booked 2 rooms and have got only 1 (for three persons) because the hotel was overbooked. They told us: Somebody wanted to stay longer so the room is not available! (Funny, eh?). This one room should be more expensive than the booked 2 rooms - hardly to believe. But the young men were tired after the long journey from Europe so the accepted these conditions.

The room was small and dirty. The service was bad. I've stayed in Bangkok quite a few times, and this was by far the worst. You can find many deals far better than this for the same amount of money.
