Bangkok Dusit 2-star Hotels

My partner and I stayed here in January. It was our first accommodation in Thailand and we enjoyed it. Our room was basic and I felt like it would of been cheaper however all the facilities were in working order. Checkin was simple, quick and easy. Interesting colour choices in our premium room. Breakfast wasn’t included but we had breakfast at the guesthouse everyday without fail! I would recommend a breakfast smoothie too! Very tasty! There is a temple literally a two minute walk away which is well worth a visit!

My partner and I stayed here for a few nights while visiting Bangkok before touring the rest of Thailand. Room was very inexpensive, and nothing fancy, but perfect for what we really needed! Staff were very helpful and spoke good enough English to get by. Laundry service was inexpensive and the restaurant on the first floor was very convenient and delicious! Hotel is close by lots of food options, 7-Eleven, and the MRT.

The receptionist is very nice and friendly.

The room is very clean, new, good, but a little high, no elevator, clean bathroom.

I originally booked for 2 nights, now been here 5, never want to leave, and have eaten some of the best food I've ever eaten in my life... breakfasts are 3 courses, different every day, and more like lunch or dinner. Ung is an amazing cook, and her and her husband Tak are lovely hosts. Yesterday's green curry with chicken & baby aubergines was better than the one in the Netflix streetfood doc, her barbecued pork melts in the mouth and is better than the juiciest bacon you've ever eaten, her Tom yum koong delicious, and how she can make a prawn omelette so fluffy and taste so wonderful is beyond me. And that was only 2 days of food (not to mention the desserts). The place itself is beautiful, calm, spotless - an old Thai wooden house, 2 stories, painted cream and green, with dark, polished wooden floors, full of interesting objects and beautiful old sepia photographs. My room has a little balcony with climbing pink jasmine and more that looks into the quiet alley and at night it smells heavenly. There's a fridge in the hallway with an endless supply of water in glass bottles, saving on money AND plastic. The courtyard is a little green paradise and I can hear at least 3 different kinds of birds and a gecko as I write this over the Tom yum koong. WiFi is fast, I have AC, an electric shower, the room is cute, big, though I know some of the others are quite small. I could quite happily live here for the rest of my life. The area is peaceful and safe. It's a five minute walk from Thewes Pier and a short ferry ride to both sky train and metro, a 10 minute bus ride from chatuchak market, 15 min walk from Khao San road (go once for a look, don't go back), and if you like a longer walk like me, to burn off the breakfast, the royal palace and Chinatown are about 45 mins to an hour on foot. There's a local market close by, at least three 7-11s within spitting distance, a local restaurant round the corner which is not bad but not up to Ung's standards, and at night a long chain of food stands along the canal that I've yet to try. If you're looking for party central this may not be your best choice but please don't look it over for the sake of a flat screen TV you can watch from bed. You could not regret coming here. And if you did, I'd say there was something not quite right about you. I love this place. Thank you Ung and Tak for making me so welcome.

Most popular destinations, like MBK, Chinatown, and Pratunam, are just a 10-15 minute bike ride away, making it incredibly convenient from Red Planet Hotel. You'll also find a variety of restaurants and a 7-11 nearby, ensuring you won't go hungry during your stay. While the hotel card is user-friendly, occasionally, there might be Wi-Fi issues, but the staff is always friendly and ready to assist. The hotel room features a simple design, and there's ample space under the bed for luggage storage. Even if you have an oversized suitcase, it won't obstruct your walking area. Good stay here, recommended!

Location: 1-2 km away from Lumphini station. The hotel provides a free shuttle ride to Lumpini and Sala Daeng stations. Please refer to the timetable at the receptionist desk. 7Eleven is nearby, and there are few ATMs in the area too. Cleanliness: clean bed sheet; no foul smell from the toilet. I spent about 10 minutes trying to find any stains or hairs on the floor, table, mini fridge, and kettle, but nothing could be found. Room temperature is acceptable and no issues with it. Amenities: the hotel provides free wifi in the room; the connection can be weak around the evening. Room amenities: only shower caps, shampoo, and hair soap are provided, along with 2x drinking water, coffee and tea sachets. Service (Breakfast/paid): The menu selection was good; they rotated the menu every day. Was good. The only downside of this is that they did not provide fresh cow milk. Instead, they provide soy milk 🫠 (Frontdesk/ housekeeping/ security/ cafe staffs): Some are well versed in English, and some not too well. But they're polite and always ready to help. Warm service. It was a pleasant stay.

The location is probably the only redeeming quality of this place. As for the hotel, it is REALLY dated. I'll add some pictures but I just feel for that money (even though it is not that much) you could get something better. Most of the lights in my room also did not work, there was one light that felt like something just added afterward to give some light. The mirror was broken and just ”fixed”/covered with some tape. The floor and bathroom looked dirty. Also, the hallway to the rooms was really dark and grim-looking. The staff was friendly, I was there an hour before check-in time and they would not let me check in, which I can understand.

the distance from the airport is not walkable and the location of the hotel will require a 5-8 mins walk to the highway. I was just surprised they redirected us to a difficult building from the building where the front office was. Bathroom is smelly at times but tolerable. Nevertheless, the place is peaceful and quiet and they have airport transfers (with minimal fee) starting at 4:30am plus we loved their bed 🙂

Strategic location near pratunam market and malls such as platinum and central world, easy to reach by taxi/grab. Wide space room 🙏 thank you
