A good choice for our short stay”

We didn't have high expectations because of the price we paid but boy, were we surprised. Although not in a fantastic area and not a great deal in the immediate vicinity, the iSanook is clean and bright, our room was a very good size with a VERY large bed, plenty of draws and hanging space, tv (that we never even switched on) a good sized fridge/freezer, a safe in the wardrobe and a clean light bathroom with one of the best showers that I have had in ANY hotel. The pool area was clean and fresh towels were always on the sunbeds and the pool itself was clean and inviting. Our one concern was the tiles from the buildings to the pool and around the pool area itself were VERY slippery when wet and one of our party slipped on the steps coming down from the pool and ended up with a HUGE black bruise on her butt, not a pretty sight a week later in a bikini on Bondi !!!!!! That aside, the staff were fantastic, with information on just about anything you needed to know for your trip to Bangkok and the free hotel tuk tuk (outbound from the hotel only) made up to some degree for the "not so perfect" location. We never ate at the iSanook apart from breakfast which was standard hostel food with cereals, toast, jam, yoghurt, fruit, eggs (boiled and scrambled) sausages and the usual Asia thing of a rice or noodle dish. They did have a pretty good menu for main meals at reasonable prices, it was just that we were out for most of the day when we were there so tended to eat then. Now the big question.......would we stay there again.........yes, yes, yes. We are both usually "four star hotel people" (59 and 54) and only started trying hostels since attempting to keep up with a daughter travelling the world with her boyfriend and them being on a tight budget, but I can honestly say that the iSanook is one of the best wev'e stayed in for the price and if your a young "whipper snapper" dont be put of by "us oldies" staying there, it was mostly young travellers. !!

Excellent”

We had a great stay at the iSanook Residence. We arrived on an overnight train from Vientiane at 6AM. We went to iSanook to see if we could leave our bags at the hotel while we toured Bangkok and waited until check-in time (2-3pm). The staff was great. They found an available room and actually upgraded us for free. We were able to catch a few more hours of sleep and start our day in Bangkok fresh. It was really nice because we wound up having an excellent day. The next morning we enjoyed a solid breakfast with a wide array of food options. The staff, especially Tom was attentive and friendly. Overall this was a very pleasant hotel to stay in and we would certainly go back. Perhaps the only setback is its location. It is located in a good part of the city, as you are not far from some major destinations. However our taxi driver had a difficult time finding it because it isn't off the main road (Rama IV).

Would recommend to friends 10/10”

Although we were confused with the true location of the Isanook accommodation (best to refer to the hostel even though we were staying at residence) initially, the six of us were amazed at the quality of the facilities and the friendliness from staffs. They were very accomodating - they even have the scales to check the weights of your baggage! During our trip we stayed at 3 accomodations including resort and hotel and but all of us have concluded iSanook was the best for its price. It was the cleanest, good wifi, and good water system for the shower. If any of our friends are going to Bangkok, for sure we will recommend iSanook!

Amazing! We will be back!”

We had 4 dud hotels (different occasions) while staying in Bangkok, once we arrived at iSanook it was a breath of fresh air! Top reasons why we loved it here: 1) Service was excellent. Welcoming, great information, all smiles. 2) Room was spacious and immaculate. HUGE bed in the studio, and big fridge. 3) Food was excellent, and at a great price as well. We had a lot to organize for further travel plans while we were there, so we used the room service option a few times. No extra charge for room service, easily understood any changes we required (my husband is vegetarian) and it never took more than 10 minutes. Highly recommend, I know we will stay here next time we come Bangkok.

Fantastic location, excellent staff”

Stayed 4 days. Clean & comfortable room. Impressed with hotel facilities such as tv/music lounge area, rooftop deck & jacuzzi, pool. All staff friendly & helpful, especially with information about Bangkok localities. Free hourly tuk-tuk transport a bonus. Loved the quiet location in neighbourhood lane. Plenty of small, local, cheap cafes in area. All taxi's & public tuk-tuks that we flagged knew iSanook without any problems. Good idea to carry hotel card to show them. Arranged excellent transport to airport at reasonable price. Cannot speak highly enough of this hotel & it's staff & service. Look forward to returning!!

Unexpectedly, great”

While dragging our bags from Hua Lamphong railway , late at night, we staggerred a while - "Was it really the place our hotel should be?". Turn right at third bus stop on Rama IV and pass a few hundred meters through weird but typical Bangkok downtown street and everyone is a tourist, everyone can give directions - cause here you are, at iSanook. So modern, ah! - Hourly shuttles to proximate subway stations and city landmarks, thought can be reached on feet, the river stop #3 by Sheraton just 12 min. walk; - Gym, sundeck, pool, TV room, prudently distributed across the hotel, so it feels like a huge hotel, though it's really not, wise architecture; - Inspiring roof views, incl. restaurant; - Perfect breakfast, 3 fruits, fresh juices, a good number of main & side dishes varying during the week; - Very helpful personnel and easy regulations; - Useful tiny night market (~16:00-21:00) for fruits and fish in salt and supermarket; And, yes, one of our rooms's upgraded: thank you!

A very good choice”

I have stayed quite a few places in Bangkok over the years, and this was definitely the best value for money. I booked an Eco Studio for less than 1100 bath per night but was somehow upgraded to a bigger and better corner room (iSanook Studio) with a really nice view of the Silom skyline. My only complaint is that the Wi-Fi was slow. I like the local neighbourhood feel; there's nice, inexpensive thai food to be had just around the corner. The gym is small but well equipped and has great views.

GREAT/ VALUE FOR MONEY”

We booked 3 rooms for our group, there were 3 kids among us. We really enjoyed our stay. Clean rooms, friendly staffs, comfy bed, great facilities (jacuzi, communal kitchen, dining room, free shuttle,... ). Before arrival, i was a bit worried of the location as i had read from agoda reviews; but nowadays the taxi drivers are pretty familiar with isanook location, plus free shuttle from isanook to some spots. Keep up your performance isanook! Don't let me regret my review :D Cheers.

High quality modern hotel”

ISanook is a great little hotel and fantastic value for money. Modern rooms, good wifi, a swimming pool, lovely rooftop bar and restaurant (and a jacuzzi) , very friendly and helpful staff. Free minibus in the mornings to get to the riverside or shopping centre etc. Perfect to return to from a hot sightseeing day in Bangkok. The hotel is located about 15 minutes walk from the metro . The area is safe but not lively at night. There are a few nice and cheap places to eat nearby. I will be back at the Isanook soon.

It was relaxing.”

My stay in iSanook Residence gave me a new experience of Bangkok. The place was not easy to find on the map but once you found it it will be an experience of best service and hospitality. I love to stay at iSanook because I can easily communicate with the staff in English. All the facilities are good and the hotel is really well managed, clean and very friendly neighborhood. You'll have a feeling that you are in a small community because of the setting/location.

Best Service from an Italian”

I am regular to Thailand and had stayed in many different hotels. Isanook by far is the best. There is an Italian guy name Nicholas whose service was superb. He is an asset to Isanook. The rooms was cleaned. Although location is a bit off the road but it is very near to Patpong Night Market and less than 3mins walk is the 7-11. Really nothing to complain. Will definitely recommend and stay again when I comes back to Bangkok

Excellent hotel and good value”

This was my 4th stay at iSanook. It is a great value, is super clean, has comfortable beds, a nice pool and gym. The food is also good and reasonably priced. The area is also very good, situated close enough to walk to the metro if you like to walk (though the property offers a free shuttle). Several tasty, authentic Thai restaurants are just a short walk away. Though taxi drivers may have a hard time finding it unless you have specific directions. My favorite hotel in Bangkok.

My home in Bangkok”

My first experience in ISanook is unforgetable. I called it my home in Bangkok coz I just love this place. It's newly open and modern. It has the kind of apartment feel. It consists of 4 buildings. The hotel is fully equipped with all kinds of facilities. A rectangular pool (may not be as big as you might imagine but just nice), jacuzzi on top of the hotel (open air), fitness center (small but just enough), nice restaurant with healthy breakfast, washing machines and another area i love the most is the lobby, which is cozy and quiet. I spent my afternoon in the lobby while waiting for my departure time. The staffs are young and friendly. The one I like the most is the one at the restaurant. He is extremely friendly and nice. You can eat in or sit in the open air area, which is just nice in the morning. This week, I will be "going home". Some commented that it's far away from the public transport. Well, it is walking distance of about 10 minutes. I think that's fine, unless you are carrying a big and heavy luggage.

3 nights stay in Bangkok”

We enjoyed our stay at iSanook Residence, located just 10 minutes from BTS Stations and PatPong Night Market. Very easy to go out and live the Bangkok way of life. We liked also facilities (gym, swimming pool) that are available throughout the day. We recommend this hotel to anybody who wants to be a Bangkokian for their stay.

Comfortable, quiet, modern, & good value for money”

Overall, it was a pleasant & comfortable stay at iSanook. Modern facilities, clean, quiet, nice & refreshing atmosphere. Friendly & helpful front counter staffs. Enjoyed myself dipping in the relatively average sized swimming pool. Slept soundly throughout the night. Room type: Eco studio room, stayed for 2 nights: 4/3/14 - 6/3/14. One standard UK BS1363 AC power socket is available as well as other varieties of sockets. Free & fast WiFi. The only 2 difficulties I encountered are: 1) difficulty in locating the hotel as iSanook is located within the 'concrete neighbourhood' (the taxi driver had to call the hotel customer service & asked 3 local residents in order to get the exact direction), 2) the nearest MRT (MRT Sam Yan) is located 15 min walk away from the hotel. Taxis & tuk tuks are easily available on the main street.

A great staywith nice people”

Had a great time will be back too stay longer as we enjoyed our time there so much. The walk too the local street food is easy and good food. in and out of the city centre is easy and the return is inexpensive . 20 too 30 minutes too the airport on the freeway or the rail. A courtesy bus would be nice but no real trouble also get the directions there in Thai as the taxi drivers love too get lost as they do everywhere. I do highly recommend iSanook as a place too stay in Bangkok.

Beautiful facilities”

iSanook far exceeded our expectations. After a week of poor service and low sanitation standards, we were pleased to arrive at a dream hotel. The huge benefits included a beautiful buffet breakfast (add it, it's worth it) and a free shuttle to a lot of main attractions! The concierge will call your taxi for you and make recommendations. They accept American credit cards which was also great. The room is clean and modern and the showers...let's just say they're 1000 times better than our stay in the islands. THANK YOU!

Very comfortable stay in every way”

It was great staying at iSanook. The staff is some of the best I've come across. Some things were a problem though. The restaurant food was average in taste but over priced. Their laundry service was way too expensive and the cleaning staff makes a lot of noise in the hallways at all hours of night and early morning. I would recommend iSanook though any day

Excellent stay”

Our stay was very good here. Although they are not located near the BTS, we used the free tuk tuk service every day to get to the pier and travel by the local waterways. They are located in a quiet yet interesting neighborhood of sois. The room had great AC and a very comfortable bed, and a great shower. The staff was excellent, helping us to arrange for transport to the local airport. We had planned for and paid for a 1 night return to iSanook after a jaunt to the Southern beaches, but we got stuck out of town and arrived instead on the day after our reservation, desperately needing a shower and chance to prepare for our return back to the States later that evening. We were fully prepared to pay another night, since we had missed our reservation and were unable to notify them, but the staff honored our reservation and provided us with a room to rest and gather ourselves before our long flight. 5 star service!
