Royal Hotel

Frommer's Review

Located on the broad Ratchadamnoen Avenue, this three-story brick colossus is a 5-minute walk to the Royal Palace, but rather isolated from other sites. As a result, the Royal is a great choice for budget travelers who find the crazies on Khao San to be too much and who don't mind a smattering of shabbiness amongst the 1950s polished floors, chandeliers, and Corinthian columns. The clean, kitschy rooms are spacious and comfortable. A small pool and buffet breakfast are added luxuries. Regular political rallies in the nearby park (the closest to Parliament) can make it noisy, so choose a room at the back.
