Siri Oriental Bangkok Hotel

Came to Bangkok for the tail end of our trip of South East Asia. Chose this hotel as it was close to Khao San Rd. but far enough for peace and quiet. The room was clean and very cool...price was great and staff were nice although there were English language barriers and we ended up waiting 30 mins + for a taxi when we probably didn't need too. The neighbourhood of this hotel was a bit sketchy so be careful of your belongings and walking late at night. Lots of street workers on the side road and homeless people sleeping...smells like urine too but that's Bangkok baby! Make sure you give your taxi driver full directions as this hotel is new and they may not know where it is but it shouldn't cost you no more than $10 to get there.
