It was good, but I won’t be coming back. The bed was absolutely horrible and the people in my hallway were very loud. You can hear every thing from the hallway. Nobody did anything about it unfortunately. The area is good, but a bit remote.

Hotel was difficult to find. Nothing wrong with hotel itself but we searched for hotel near Makkasan and this was supposed to be near. Map showed it close but it was not

Great staff. Great little gym and pool was awesome. Don’t try and check in early unless you want to pay extra. I was staying 23 days but still was asked for extra to get in early which I thought was tad much. Great sercurity guys always there to help . Bit rough there but taxi picks u up out front .

Great street food across the street. The most wonderful staff, from the front desk to the parking attendnts. Best price in the city for 2 bathrooms, living area, twin beds in separate space. Distance from main area of the city, restaurants, sightseeing, etc. was the only drawback.

We enjoyed our stay here. The pool was lovely and the gym facilities are great. The staff were helpful and accommodating. Only thing stopping the review from being 5 star is the noise at night - our room was quite near the lifts and we could hear it pinging all night even over a white noise machine.

Good value for money in terms of what you get for the price. Enjoyed views of the city from my 18th floor balcony and took some timelapse sunset shots. Views of New Year fireworks display was phenomenal!

BU place was clean, the staff was attentive, and the near but shops were perfect. This hotel was on top of a coffee shop and a 7/11. Which was way more convenient than I thought it would be. This is a bit out of the way for Bangkok. But the shuttle drops you off at the train station, which is also a shopping center. Like other reviewers mentioned, it can be hard to get a grab to pick you up. However, the front desk staff are able to get a taxi there in less than 15 minutes. The pool is super clean. There is also a very nice Finnish Sauna. The mattress is firm, but that seems to be a Southeast Asian standard. I would stay here again or longer for sure!

I had an excellent first stay at BU Place and will definitely stay again (I visit Bangkok regularly). The room was quite modest, but they were super clean (housekeeping did a great job every day) and had everything needed, including a fridge. The view from my room on the 17th floor was excellent, and the pool was well-maintained and a great retreat after a long day of walking and adventures. This hotel also has a pretty decent gym, the machines are older but all in English and in good working condition. This hotel is in a more local area of Bangkok, which means it isn't very touristic- but you can easily call a grab car or motorbike to take you wherever you need to go and the hotel also offers a shuttle bus to the nearest BTS station. If you walk out the front doors, turn right, and walk a short way down the street you will find a few massage shops on the opposite side of the street- the one with the reflexology foot diagram on the door was legit. Thank you for the awesome stay, I'll be back in May!

Rating is 9 of 10
Pro - Room is large and spacious. It is clean. The bathroom is mostly clean, only need to scrub some grout areas on the bath tub wall. I didn’t use the swimming pool, but can see it from my room and it looks really clean. All the hotel staffs and security guards are friendly and helpful. WiFi is very strong for our 4 devices. The air conditioning works fine. The 7/11 store is right next door. The con is the location. It is deeper in the back alley. The hotel does provide shuttle van to and from Fortune Town, which is right beside Rama 9 MRT (subway) and across the street is Central Plaza (shopping center). The shuttle is from 8am to 6pm, once each way per hour. I hope management will extend the shuttle service to 9 pm. Overall it was a comfortable stay.

this hotel is not really on the tourist trail. it offers very good value if you are an able traveller. older neighborhood with tiny streets and dense traffic, filled with local food and basic services. hotel minibus makes reliable daytime transport to shopping and metro, but can walk it n 15 mins once you know the way. can be difficult to find for taxis so make sure to have telephone number handy. everything in the hotel worked great for me. i recommend to anyone who wants good value and can deal with real bangkok!

good but be extra vigilant.
overall very good. just be careful when you pay the cash deposit because they asked me 3000 B and the give you an envelop with the deposit receipt in it. do not trust their words and check that they write 3000 B deposit because on check out i found that it was 1000 B and they will only give you what is written on the receipt.he area is dark and not much to do around

Convenient and cheap
There is always food around the area. We had to change our hotel room, due to aircon icing. If you are someone that does not mind a lower star hotel, this hotel is fine. No amenities except for a soap and shower cap. Staff are friendly, hotel is quiet.

Good stay for large group / family
Affordable accommodation for group who just need a basic place to stay. Apartment is spacious. But location is a bit out of the way to main Malls. Have to take uber/cab out of the way. Even so, some drivers get lost and cancelled our rides. Suitable for those who like a little bit of adventure and seeing street life. Room and toilet conditions are fine. Good beds and housekeeping.

Cash deposit required at check-in
We booked this hotel because it was one that had three beds in the room. The room was clean and quiet. We were surprised that we were required to pay a cash deposit of 3100 Baht at check-in, even though the room was pre-paid on a credit card. Luckily we were able to pool some cash and had some left for dinner. When we checked out we had to wait for someone to inspect the room before we got our deposit back. Other than that, we stayed in a suite with two bedrooms and bathrooms.
