Rambuttri Village Inn & Plaza is a budget property in Bangkok's historic Rattanakosin Island area, just a three-minute walk from popular Khaosan Road. The 200 rooms are simple, with air-conditioning and private bathrooms, and style ranges from bare-bones to more modern. Details range from included mini-fridges to outdated tube TVs. The hotel's best features are the two rooftop pools, and there's also an open-air restaurant where a buffet breakfast is served next to a koi pond. Unfortunately, guests have complained of slow Wi-Fi and noise, and a hefty deposit is due on check-in. Those who'd rather stay near the city's trendy Silom and Sathorn areas should consider Saphaipae Hostel, a bright and cheerful budget option with similar rates, though most bathrooms are shared.
