Korbua House

The staff were brilliant, so friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The location is brilliant, only a few minutes walk from Khao San Road and Ram Buttri, 15 min walk to the palace and other major attractions. There are also cafes, restaurants and shops within a few minutes walk (on the opposite side of the river you can see markets making food!). Even though it’s close to everything, it’s not noisy and the rooms are quiet. The riverfront cafe/ bar within the hotel is a real treat, sitting having breakfast in the morning or beer in the evening. So relaxing and lovely to watch the world go by. After reading some reviews before staying I was concerned it would be hard to find but it’s literally on an alley off the main road. It did smell a little bit, however the whole city smells so it’s nothing unusual and certainly not a problem in the room. The room itself had complimentary water, a huge shower, mini fridge, pretty decoration and a small balcony. The breakfast was very tasty and the drinks very reasonably priced too. There’s a lift so no need to use the stairs. Highly recommend this place, if we visit Bangkok we’ll definitely book here again.

My own research before booking g suggested that Korbua House was cheap and cheerful, which it was although it had everything I required. I wasn’t looking for five star accommodation and the price reflected this. It had everything I needed and the balcony view of the canal was a bonus. Yes, it had an aroma throughout the day as the canal carried water away from the streets after it had rained but sewage didn’t factor in this. I didn’t find it offensive, just noticeable. There was always comings and goings over the bridge of the canal and hundreds of catfish constantly surfacing for air and Asian Water Monitors were quite a spectacle as were the sounds of nearby birds. As a wildlife enthusiasts, this was another bonus. I found it fascinating to people watch.It was near to all of the main attractions and the places I wanted to see. Without exception, all of the staff were very polite and helpful. They answered all of my questions and nothing was too much trouble and always with a smile. Fresh towels and bed made everyday - I obviously didn’t make it to their standards! 🤣

The location is extremely convenient let alone really pretty. We enjoyed the canal view both from our room as well as the restaurant. The staff was really welcoming and kind. The room was fine with a nice bathroom and strong water pressure (appreciated). I'm a light sleeper and there's noise all day (and night long) whether it's people, animals or vehicles, so I recommend ear plugs or noise canceling headphones. Lastly, we tried breakfast there and it was ok but looked better on the pictures 😅 All in all, would gladly return, for the price it was fab.

The staff was super friendly and welcoming, my room was 10/10 clean and the location was perfect in my opinion - easy to reach all big sightseeing spots in Bangkok, also near Kao San Road, but still a rather quiet because of the location. If you cross the canal, there is more more quiet and really pretty area with a lot of restaurants. Would definitely recommend this place. Also, the coffee in the restaurant is great :)

Lovely staff, nice breakfast which was reasonable, room was nice enough, good AC, decent size shower. Fresh water every day. Great location for getting to Khaosan road but still nice and quiet. 7/11 very near Perfect budget accommodation
