New Road Guest House

The staff from the campagny tour next door was nice.   — Annecy Bissonet (2011-06-25) Hostelbookers

Nice and clean Guesthouse in the heart of bangkok close to skytrain, water taxi and shopping mall. Friendly staff and very helpful travel desk. Safe and charge free long term luggage storage! Our second time in that Guesthouse and we definitely would come back again!   — Sophia Schoenig (2011-06-15) Hostelbookers

Perfect place to stay on arriving in Bangkok. The service desk was very helpful in planning our ongoing trip AND avoiding the local scams!   — David Harrison (2011-05-31) Hostelbookers

We have been 4 times in Bangkok the last 2 months and we have stayed here all of them, we really recommend it. Close to skytrain and taxi boat, so you can go to a lot of places in town very easily and cheap. Taxi boat to Grand Palace or Khao San Rd takes 20 min and costs 14 THB. A taxi from Khao San Rd at night with no traffic is just 70 THB. There is a supermarket just 5 min walking, with plenty of local stands/restaurants around. The staff is very friendly and helpful, they speak very well English. There is a DVD romm with AC where to stay in your own. Free wifi. Free coffee and tea.   — Paloma Montes (2011-05-29) Hostelbookers

I liked the fact that the guest services staff were incredibly nice and helpful. I also liked that it was a 10 minute walk to the ferry so that you can get the hell out of that horrible area.   — Jessica Carlson (2011-05-15) Hostelbookers

Relatively cheap and clean.   — christine walker (2011-05-12) Hostelbookers

It was very cheap and as exactly how I expected it to be from seing it on hostelbookers   — Berron Wilson (2011-05-06) Hostelbookers

Cheap place, near the river and the boat to go the the centre!Nice staff!Nice place to go out in the night!   — Stefano Casson (2011-04-25) Hostelbookers

Friendly and useful staff are avaiable for 24 hours. They will give you any detail information which you need. The lobby look clean. The first 2 nights I booked a cheap twin room. It is pretty small and hot. Nothing except for 2 single beds. It's ok for me after travelling all day then just lay down and sleep. However my sister felt uncomfortable. We changed to a room with 900bath per night 2 nights after. The room is good, included a bathroom and hot water + a fridge and much bigger. The Location is good - 10mins walking from sky train station and about 100 - 150 bath for tuk tuk or taxi to go to Khao San, shopping center and other places.   — Ha Lam Viet (2011-04-24) Hostelbookers

clean place, nice atmosphere   — Gorkem Turkay (2011-03-26) Hostelbookers

friendly stuff, awareness of bed bugs   — Barbara Stiel (2011-03-17) Hostelbookers

Earlier on in our trip, we had already stayed at a guesthouse off of Khao San and, in my opinion, the people who slate New Road purely for its location are either party animals or simply booked the cheapest option on the list without looking at a map... because this was ten times better. Sure it may not have had an abundance of bars on the doorstep, but to say that it was cheaper, it had far more going for it. Use the money you've saved on the room in getting a tuk-tuk north, because it's a better idea in my opinion. I was very concerned about cries of bedbugs on here, but we were fine - and my partner looked very confused when the first thing I did upon entering the room was overturn the mattress. The room was, admittedly, very small, but you could tell that they'd made an effort in decor and it felt quite bright. And it also felt very cool; we kept the window shut due to my 'insect paranoia' but it was easily the coolest room we'd been in all holiday. This was a 'backpacker' room with double bed and fan. One of the nicest touches about our room was that we had a mini-bar, which we could also use as our own fridge - but it contained two complementary bottles of water per day. And, as well as cleaning the room every one of our four days, replacing the soap, toilet roll and even shampoo sachets, two 500ml bottles of water were popped into our fridge daily. The mini-bar was also quite reasonable, as was the very nice restaurant downstairs, contained within the lovely air-conditioned reception/lounge area. The staff were friendly and, though we read signs of free tourist info, we'd been in Bangkok a while and chose not to take it. We really liked the location because it was quiet and within walking distance (even on my little legs) of the train station and skytrain station Saphan Taksin, the latter of which making it cheap to get into downtown Bangkok without arguing with a tuk-tuk driver. There were markets and vendors nearby, though things seemed to be priced higher than the Khao San Road. Plus, my partner was thrilled, due to the amount stamp shops around this guesthouse... Don't know if there are many philatelists on HostelBookers, but there ya go! Besides that, we had free towels/bedding; it felt safe; it wasn't noisy; it was very cheap; and it was the best sleep I'd had on the holiday, due to the coolness of the room.   — Colette Reynolds (2011-03-11) Hostelbookers

location- close to ferry station, Sky Train station, not far away from Railway and Underground station. Helpful staff. Working aircondition:), possibility to get free touristic information at the reception desk, wonderful breakfasts   — Anna Dziag (2011-03-07) Hostelbookers

It is a great place to stay for the price   — Elizabeth Koury (2011-03-02) Hostelbookers

Pretty cheap, nice large beds and good internet wireless. Place is clean and it's got a good atmosphere. Streets around are lively and nice to walk through. It's not far from the river where you can get the boat for 14 baht.   — Ayana Fabris (2011-02-24) Hostelbookers

It was tucked away in an alley, so quiet. The restaurant, couch area, and internet bar was a nice place.   — Cullen Oldenburg (2011-02-16) Hostelbookers

The staff is nice and kindly. The guest house is really clean, the wifi is for free and you can leave your luggage for free and do small trips. The staff of Visit Beyond, the attached travel agency is helpfull and kindly. The location is really good. Stay away of Ko San Road was a big relieve! Is near of the skytrain station and not far of the tourist points. The restaurant is nice and the price is ok. We stayed one week more.   — Luciana De Oliveira Fayet (2011-02-03) Hostelbookers

the atmosphere and friendly staff   — MOHAMMAD REZA YAMANI (2011-01-29) Hostelbookers

 Fantastic Definitely one of the best hostels we've stayed in. We're even going to stay in their hostel in Hanoi.  — D , England (2007-12-08)

 Good Nice hostel. If you're big on the party atmosphere this is your hostel. It seemed like every night many guest gathered in the bar, drinking, chatting, and playing pool. The two dorm rooms are mixed dorms with six bunk beds in each, housing twelve people. In the middle of November the dorm rooms were hardly bearable as far as heat with that many bodies.  — words spit out (2007-11-20)
