Residence Rajtaevee Hotel Bangkok Petchburi Reviews & Ratings

The location is good, but the room and the place itself is not good. The room was simple, but even simple room can be nice, not this one unfortunately.
Not clean, is a nice way of telling you keep out....

I have used this hotel since 2002 to stay whenever I was in Bangkok for my work. Unfortunately the hotel became worse and worse as time passed.

The hotel looks quite nice from the outside ... nice reception ... plants and flowers.....etc.... But the rooms are bad. They should have renovated them years ago. The biggest problem is the fact that they advertise with nice photos and good stories. According to their website they have 2 restaurants and a gym. Unfortunately one restaurant has been closed since 2001 (only the Crescendo is open). The gym has been closed for renovation for years now.

Also the staff is unfriendly and unhelpful. On several occasions they tried to make money by being less than honest. One time, I asked for a taxi-meter at the reception. Once in the taxi, I discovered that the hotel-staff charged the taxi-driver 100 Baht with the promise that I would pay him 500 Baht (for a taxi drive of about 50 Baht). Needless to say I refused the taxi.

One time I wanted to order plane tickets in the hotel for a flight the next day. After a phone call I with their travel-agent I was told that all planes were full for the next day except one flight early in the morning. They could sell me a ticket for that flight for the regular price. Unfortunately for them I understand Thai. The phone call wasn't about planes that were full. One phone call by me to Bangkok Airways made clear that there were many flights available the next day and the early flight had a huge discount. So the staff at the hotel tried to sell a discount-ticket to me by lying about the available flights.

Opposite the road, there's the First Hotel. If you want to stay in that area, not willing to spend too much money, you better go to that hotel. If you want to spend a little more, you can go to the Arnoma Hotel. This hotel is very nice and situated right next to all the big shops in the area (Big C, Isetan, Central World, Paragon, etc)

This place has got a good location. That is all. The hotel is not meant for decent holidaying. Dinghy place with cold staff. Curt and unwelcome receptionist. Weird intrusive apology of a balcony/window which is also a bit eerie in the night. People keep walking across the window. Breakfast's okay. No help, no assistance otherwise. Poor value. Avoidable. Not recommended.

The hotel is not that much, the room I have stayed in are really not tidy and not clean, old furnitures, TV and cold old loud air-con.

Surely I will not stay again.

Stained walls in the room, very poor lighting and dirty carpet. The toilet is dirty, the sink's tile nearly fell off. The bed sinks and creaks. The only plus side is the breakfast spread. Other than that, I think there are better hotels around that area with that price! Would definitely not stay there anymore!!

The location is excellent if you wish to do lot of shopping. The Skytrain station is also at walking distance. Travel agent is not in Hotel and you have to go other place to book for City tour etc.

The staff at the receiption & restaurant are very polite & helpful. Walk to BTS is a bit far (if you have a lot of shopping bags to carry, even worse). And no attraction nearby. Carpet & bathroom/toilet need upgrading.

You can't complain about the all-round value here. You could get a lot worse with the amount you pay elsewhere. Location's central to almost everywhere popular. Stay here if you're not fussy about a less than perfect shower, slightly hard bed and no cable TV. Other than that, I think it's the perfect place for the budget traveler.

This is 2nd time we stayed here. The renovation during the daytime is very annoying. Bathtub is pretty dirty. Not much choices on TV channel. Location is pretty good.

The one and only little problem for us, was the small room for 3 people. The Service was very friendly, the Breakfast great. And it was very near to the city only few minutes. Best location.
