Was shown to my room, although would have been nice to have a little help with my. As as was on the third floor. Room was very average. On... More

We made the mistake of booing this online for a week as we were tired of moving around all the time. I would recommend it for a few nights only. I am a bit claustrophobic so this didn't help as there are no windows. People had written all over the walls which to some people may be cool but I... More

There was no window even I have reserved more expensive room and didn't get any information about such a possibility. Because of that and the restaurant under the hotel rooms there was total lack of fresh air. The room was so tiny, that almoust claustrophobic. I'm a student and the most often I chouse budget hotels but still it was... More

I have nothing bad to say about Rainbow. It is a clean, comfortable and well managed guest house in the dynamic backpacker district of Bangkock. You don't get the peace and quiet of the Isaan at Rainbow. You do, however, get: good value, a quality restaurant and bar, and the privilage of socializing with other Thais and international travelers like... More

If your familiar with the Khaosan road area, you know that there are a number of bars, playing very loud music very late into the night. That's not a problem if you are at those bars. The location of this hostel makes it a sixty second walk to some of them. If you are looking for a party, it's a... More

Stayed 2 night at this guesthouse. Beds are hard but sleep surprisingly well. Location is great just off khaosan road, Unfortunatly this does go with considerable amount of loud music. All in all you get what you pay for. Big bonus they serve great Indian food.
