Residence Rajtaevee Hotel Bangkok Petchburi Reviews & Ratings

There are two kinds of rooms available here, the standard room for 2-3 people, and the service apartment for a maximum of 4 people. This is my second time staying in the service apartment and I like it because it is value for money and the location is good.

It is very near the Pratunam shopping areas and a good walking distance away (about 20 minutes)from major shopping centers like MBK and Discovery Center. The Pantip Plaza, fast food restaurants and 7-11 are just down the road too.

The room is quite spacious, although the furniture is a bit run down and sofa looks old, but it's comfortable enough. The bed is pretty comfortable too. The shower tap is not strong enough and from Level 3 onwards, the water is barely lukewarm. It's one thing I think the hotel really needs to improve on.

If you're on a tight budget and yet wants a moderate room in a prime location, this can be what you're looking for.

The room is very spacious, but the interior decor is pretty run down, must do some upgrading work.

So far the location is very convenient, hopefully can renovate the rooms. I will book the room again if i am going back to Bangkok!

OK the place is old and rather run down, but still cozy enough and in a super location - for 150THB one of the 4 routes of the Airport Bus (check to get the right bus) will drop you in Petchburi Road, so it is short walk down the Soi until you are greeted by the eager porter staff. Then to get to other places around the city, the Skytrain is only a short walk around the corner. Or the other direction to Pantip Plaza (THE place for all electronics) and the endless Pratnunam markets with its abundance of wholesale clothing etc.

The breakfast is good quality and the restaurant worth a visit itself I think. I would have stayed longer but for the lack of proper satellite TV. There are other options in the area, so check and compare, as always.

If one is planning to spend very little time at the hotel it will do fine ... But do not book at this hotel if you want to spend any leisure time off the busy streets of Bangkok in your room.The rooms are dark and the bathrooms are very tired!

Pricewise it is VERY cheap and ''you get what you pay for"! ALTHOUGH THE STAFF SPOKE LITTLE ENGLISH THEY WERE ALWAYS HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY. Breakfast was sufficient. IT WAS CLEAN People don't know where it is so it can be frustrating with transport. IT IS QUIET SO ONE IS ABLE TO SLEEP WELL.

Good location, reception & restaurant.

Completely let down by the condition of room, furnishing, lift, corridor & general ambience.

I was on the 2nd floor.

Shame because otherwise I would rate it quite highly.

It has a pretty excellent location, a 10 mins walk to the BTS and a few mins walk to the Pratunam area. The breakfast was good too but maybe they can consider having slight changes in the menu as we have been served with the same food almost everyday. The people in the hotel were friendly and willing to help when in need. The furniture's and walls should be renovation up since its already looking old. Overall...Well, what more can u ask for when its already so cheap.

GOOD cuz ...

- smack in the middle of the main shopping area, yet not on the main road (so it's hard to find but not much dirt and noise from the busy bustly roads)
- cheap, simple and comfy if you don't expect luxury
- decent breakfast
- very warm staff and though they don't converse in English heavily, they try their best and it really helps
- Spa Buri within the hotel itself, easy quick way to get a massage or two under the same roof
- not one but two 7-ELEVEN's right outside at the main road, along with a Burger Kings and Pizza place opening up to midnight for a late snack
- walking distance to Pantip Plaza, Platinum and Pratunam shopping centres
- the hotel looks small but i think it's cosy and neat

BAD cuz ...
- warm water not sufficient or not warm enough
- air-conditioning may be noisy at night as each unit is adjacent to each other with a good chance that their air-con vent unit is facing ur room window
- only good for a place to bunk and sleep, otherwise TV doesn't have good channels, not much room space, no view at all (all you see if concrete).
- not well known, so some cab drivers may find a hard time locating it, you need to get off the main road on a small lane to reach the hotel
- furniture are pretty old, a little run down but works fine

OVERALL ... if you wanna visit Bangkok on a budget and won't stay in ur room much besides sleeping/napping and the breakfast, this is the place for you.

Stayed here for five days. We booked the family suite. The rooms are a bit old and dated. But most importantly, its clean with clean bed sheets.

If you are looking for luxury, then this is not the place for you. But if you know you're going to be out most of the time and just needed a good night rest, then this place is an excellent choice as its very cheap for a two bedroom suite with kitchen and a family hall.

Shopaholics, this is the best location you can find. Within minutes of all the good shopping malls and most importantly, the skytrain. We walked most of the the time to the shopping haunts. Its hard to find at first because the taxi driver didn't know where it is. Just tell the taxi driver to go to First Hotel. Its just opposite the road. There are signage to point to the hotel. Staff is very very helpful.

The good thing is that The Residence is pretty well hidden hence it's secluded from the hustle & bustle of the city. The 2 bedroom suite that we stayed in was rather rundown but what mattered the most was that we had comfortable beds and a clean bathroom. Surprisingly, Spa Buri was excellent!

I had hard time to find the hotel with the taxi driver, but finally we made it. The location is very good, maybe two 7/11 near by and around 10 mins walk to the Isetan department store and Central point plaza, and all the other shopping plaza on the way.

We booked the service apartment (2 bedrooms suite). The suite is very big, with kitchen, bathroom, living and dinning rooms. The room is clean (didn't see even an ant) but everything is kind of run down but working. I think a little bit of work of fixation or good maintainers will give a plus to the room. And I think the room really need to have some works done asap.

The little buffet breakfast is nice, just downstairs in a small but cozy restaurant. The reception is helpful and accommodated (we request to have the check-out delay till 2pm because our flight).

We stayed only one night there, for the location, convenience, and the price, it's not a bad choice.
