http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/30352 For 4,500 Thai baht (about £9) I had a cosy, clean and sweet-smelling single room with free Wifi and a simple breakfast (egg and toast) in the morning. The shared showers were strong and hot and there was a lovely roof terrace - perfect for chilling out away from the city noise. There are also banks opposite and a launderette just round the corner.
I went on the recommendation of a friend who’d formed such a bond with the owners that they’d let him store some of his luggage while he went away for a month. While I’m obviously not guaranteeing they’ll provide this service for all their guests, hopefully this indicates what nice folk the guys at the Siam Classic are.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/30352 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24936 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24936 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23667
The Roof View is a lovely guesthouse with dirt cheap private rooms, and free breakfast, linen and towels.

The rooms are all pretty stylish,there are comfy beds with fresh white decor and a private balcony.

It's a ten minute walk to the Khaosan Road and a short bus drive to the Grand Palace.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23667 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23666
There are seven rooms so it's got a real homely atmosphere, and the 100-year-old building is beautiful. Our room was tastefully furnished and there was a peaceful zen-like roof garden.

The staff should get a special mention - the smiliest and friendliest girls I've ever met! It's also a short walk from the center of town. All in all, ideal for backpackers in Bangkok!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23666 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19944 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19944
