Hotels near Debsirin School, Bangkok

"Honestly, this hotel deserves no more than a 3-star rating. And the 3-star is only for the location. All the other things deserve 1-star. The only positives are its location and the lobby. Everything else was disappointing. The furniture is very old and of poor quality, the bed was extremely uncomfortable, and the bathroom had a constant unpleasant smell. The room had almost no soundproofing. Even though we were staying on the 11th floor, we could clearly hear traffic from the street, passing cars, and children playing in the pool as if the window were open. The room door was also made of very poor-quality wood, so every time someone walked through the hallway, we could hear their footsteps, doors slamming, and loud banging noises. There was never a moment of peace and quiet—between the traffic, the noise from other guests due to the lack of soundproofing, constant door slamming, and even sounds coming from the pipes inside the walls. I swear I can hear the mans cough and talking in the next room.. We also asked the hotel if they could store just one suitcase for us while we traveled to Phuket and returned to Bangkok. They refused, saying they would only do so if we had another reservation with them. I have stayed at lower-rated hotels that happily stored our luggage even though we were not coming back, so this was disappointing. We also asked if they could extend our checkout by just two hours since our flight was at 2:00 PM, but they refused without offering any flexibility. Overall, I would never stay at this hotel again, and I would not recommend it to anyone."

"Regarding the location: It's a bit far from the station, but the free tuk-tuk shuttle service (one-way only, you have to get back on your own) was very convenient. There are also many restaurants nearby, so finding places to eat was not an issue. Regarding the facilities: The air conditioning worked very well, making for a comfortable stay. As mentioned in other reviews, I found a mosquito immediately upon entering the room. The water pressure in the shower was a bit weak, but there was plenty of hot water. However, if I put the drain cover on, the water wouldn't drain properly, so I had to shower with the cover off."

"This was my first stay at this hotel. I chose it for its convenient location right on the main road. Initially, I thought it would be like the other hotels I've stayed at in Yaowarat – typical rooms and furniture, nothing particularly impressive. However, from the moment I checked in at the front desk, I was incredibly impressed by the friendly and helpful staff, as well as their excellent service and clear explanation of the hotel's policies. The room was spotlessly clean, and all the amenities were complete. The air conditioning was wonderfully cold, and both hot and cold water flowed with great pressure, which I appreciated even more than at previous hotels. The room size was spacious and quite comfortable for living in. There were no issues with using the elevator to get to and from my room. The housekeepers were also very friendly and lovely. All in all, I was not disappointed with my stay. Thank you so much for the impressive service!"

"Arawana Express Chinatown is really a smart choice for value-conscious travelers. Its rooms are typically far more spacious than those in similarly priced budget chains, which makes a real difference if you’re traveling with large luggage or staying for an extended period. That extra sense of space helps ease the fatigue of being on the road. Pricing here is refreshingly restrained. If you redirect the money you save on accommodation toward enjoying bird’s nest delicacies or a seafood feast in Chinatown, you’ll quickly realize how wise this trade-off can be. The hotel sits on the edge of Chinatown, tucked into quieter side streets. Within a two-minute walk, you can be in the heart of the bustling food district or at MRT Wat Mangkon. While the main roads in Chinatown are lively around the clock, Arawana is cleverly positioned away from the noise. For travelers who value a good night’s sleep but still want to stay in the old quarter, this balance of tranquility and convenience is a definite plus. The decor may feel a bit dated, and you might notice some wear in the elevator, air conditioning noise, or bathroom fixtures. It’s best not to judge it by the standards of a modern star-rated hotel. Instead, think of it as a generously sized private space with an en-suite bathroom—comfortable, practical, and excellent value for its location."

"Check-in convenience: The front desk is on the first floor, so check-in was very quick. Safety: Very safe, you can stay with peace of mind. Facilities: Complimentary bottled water is provided, and there are shower facilities. Cleanliness: Very clean and quiet. Location: Close to Chinatown, convenient for getting anywhere."

"Perfect stay! I would strongly recommend secluded but near china town, so everything is easy to reach with grab scooters. The staff was helpful and friendly. Rooms were clean and tidy exactly reflecting the fotos. The amenities were also great, restocked when used and there was free water despenser and snacks."

"This accommodation boasts a fantastic location, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city via various transportation options, including the BTS Skytrain, MRT subway, buses, and ferries, as well as access to water activities. The rooms offer privacy, the air conditioning works exceptionally well, and the rooms are simple yet clean."

"Highly recommended, excellent value for money! It's a shame I only stayed here on my last day; next time I'm in Bangkok, I'll book my entire trip here. From the moment I walked in, the service was exceptional. The front desk staff spoke Chinese, were very friendly, and attentive. Being able to check in early was a huge relief (many businesses don't realize how convenient this is for travelers, always thinking they're losing out by allowing early check-ins – such short-sightedness!). There's also a dedicated luggage storage area after check-out, which is very reassuring. The owner has great taste, and the decor is perfect for anyone who loves taking photos. The location is also excellent. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied and hope they maintain their fantastic value for money!"

"The environment is quiet, the room is clean and tidy, and the bedding is very comfortable, making for a very peaceful stay. The service was prompt, and the front desk staff were very friendly. The facilities are complete, and the washing machine and air conditioning all worked perfectly. It's a great choice for solo travelers, offering excellent value for money. I'll definitely consider staying here again next time! 👍👍"

"This is a massive hotel, truly a 'city within a city.' The interior is luxurious. The rooms are a bit dated, but that wasn't a big deal for us. What was an issue, though, was the lack of towels: upon check-in, we only had two bath towels and two small hand towels. On the second day, during room cleaning, they took the two small towels and didn't replace them. However, we were only staying for two nights, so even this minor inconvenience wasn't critical. Around the hotel, there's a huge market with clothes and small cafes. It's about a 20-minute taxi ride to River City and a 20-minute walk to Khao San Road. You can also take a boat along the canal right next to the hotel to get to the subway, which is fast and inexpensive."
