“Excellent location, clean and comfortable!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 May 2013

You could not get closer to the action! The hotel is very comfortable, a nice four poster in what I would describe as a colonial bedroom. Bathroom and bedroom were clean. Lovely roof top pool to relax and refresh in after a mad day in Bangkok! I would definately stay here again, a very reasonable price for mega central, more... More

“Plain sailing!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 May 2013 via mobile

"Boutique" is an overused phrase in Thailand and the rooms were the only boutique things about this hotel. The rooms were lovely, clean and substantially sized. Hotel staff didn't speak much English and we found the receptionists a bit cold and disengaged. However, the friendly door staff made up for this. It is located on Khao San Road - the... More

“Hard to fault .........”

I spent 3 nights at Buddy Lodge and would definitely recommend it and stay there again BUT the front desk staff could be more personable, friendly and communicative. On check in. I was left standing there with no explanation as to why I was standing there. Another couple also waiting had to ask what they were waiting for too. Never... More

“Good for a city stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2013

This hotels location is ideal if you want to explore Khaosan Road. The rooms are lovely. Very clean and nicely decorated. There is a lovely rooftop pool, it is a little crowded but still good for a city centre hotel. The staff however are not so great. Very rude and not helpful at all. I understand that some of this...

“Great pool, not a good night sleep”

We stayed at the Buddy Hotel for 2 nights arriving from London... it's great to be right in the buzzing center of Khaosan road... it's fantastic to have a swmming pool on top of the hotel... nothing like a swim after a sweaty day visiting BGK... it's not so great to be woken up at 3 AM by thumping music...

4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 April 2013

When we stayed here, we were very happy with the hotel as a whole, and the location is amazing. It is located on a busy street with lots to do. Only thing that was a slight downfall is that our room was at the very front of the hotel facing the street, so it was a tiny bit noisy at... More

“Lovely place (especially for the price) but very noisy”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 April 2013

Buddy lodge is a great hotel for Khao San road- very clean and nicely done rooms, not at all backpacker-ish and good value. The pool area is also lovely I'd have definitely given at 5 out of 5 if it wasn't for the noise. Being right on Khao San it is very, very noisy (i.e. pumping music, vibrations etc until... More

For a cheap backpacker type place this was much better than we were expecting. We needed a cheapish place to stay near khao San road for a night at the beginning and end of our stay in Thailand. After much searching we settled on this and are very glad we did. We paid a bit extra for a deluxe room,... More
