Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms, and rooms can have air conditioning, a kettle and a refrigerator. Several rooms have a city view, and several have a private bathroom with a shower.

Bed set-ups vary from a king bed to combinations of single and double beds, so groups of up to eight can choose a room that fits them. Some rooms have a seating area or a desk, and the two standard rooms each have a single bed and a king bed for up to three guests.

The hotel has a 24-hour front desk, a lift and luggage storage, and it offers daily housekeeping and laundry service. Tours and ticket services can be arranged through the hotel, and the staff speak English and Thai.

Wi-Fi is free in all rooms and also available in the public areas. Air conditioning is provided in the public areas as well as in the rooms, and parking on site is paid, with a daily fee.

The hotel is on Soi Rong Mai in the Chana Songkhram area of Bangkok's old town, close to Khaosan Road, the backpacker street that gives the area much of its character. In the evening the lanes fill with street-food stalls, small bars and guesthouses, and the mood stays lively late into the night. It is an area for travellers who want to walk to the sights and step out of the hotel straight into the city.

Khaosan Road is 450 m away, and the Phra Pin Klao Pier, a ferry stop on the Chao Phraya river, is 200 m from the hotel. The Temple of the Emerald Buddha is 1.1 km away and The Grand Palace 1.2 km, with Wat Phra Chetuphon, better known as Wat Pho, nearby and Wat Arun across the river at 2 km. The Bangkok National Museum is also a short walk away, while the Chatuchak Weekend Market is a much longer trip across the city.

A good day here starts at the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, then continues to Wat Arun across the river. In the evening, the lanes around the hotel are the easy choice for street food and a slow walk back.
