"Good location. Clean. Friendly staff." Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
Value: 3
I stayed at the Viengtai as part of an Intrepid tour and I really liked it. Excellent air-conditioning (which was a bonus after staying in places without it), clean & comfortable rooms, friendly staff & the location was good. Breakfast was simple but adequate. The reception staff were very helpful and I was able to leave a bag there safely while I traveled elsewhere which was great. It has a pool and overall I really liked the Viengtai and would stay there again. The room service was great.
We stayed at the Viengtai for 3 nights in December. The location- in terms of seeing the city- was great, but being one road away from Khao San Road it was very noisy at night- loud live music until 2am was hard to sleep through. The room was OK, nothing special, and breakfast fairly average (but omelettes on request very good!). Ultimately fine if you aren't worried about sleeping much, but those looking for a quiet- and perhaps slightly more comfortable- refuge after an evening out would be better elsewhere.
I stayed there in oct 2006 as part of my Intrepid tour. I booked an extra few days beforehand. Hotel was clean in lobby and clean room. Staff were okay and hotel location is pretty central to KSR area. It can be noisy if your room is facing front of hotel where there is sometimes late music from bars opposite.
Ate breakfast there once and it was pretty good.
overall a reasonable hotel but probably expensive for the area as i paid ?18 GBP/nights.
There is another hotel up the road (name beings with a R) which has a 24 internet cafe inside it which is very clean and cheaper but staff are cheeky.
