リオ モンテ レジデンス (バンコク)

Budget hotel but the stay is made memorable by the kindness and service from the staff

The pleasure was the fact it was an apartment ,beautiful pool,beautiful coy pond and gardens. I DO ADVISE THOSE WHO STAY THERE BE PATIENT AND KIND TO THE CAB DRIVERS. ORDER CAB THROUGH RECEPTION IN THAI, ALWAYS TELL CAB DRIVER NO PROBLEM GO TOLL WAY! IT IS IN A AREA THAT IS NOT THE TOURIST HUB! 2 AMAZING TAKE AWAY OR SIT ON STREET THAI RESTERUANTS CHEAP GOOD CLEAN DELICIOUS! JUST ACROSS THE ZEBRA COSSING. THERE IS A TESCO LOTUS EXPRESS IN SAME ST SO,REALLY GOOD AS CAN BUY DRINKS SNACKS! FRUIT MARKET ALSO! I WILL STAY THERE AGAIN ! But pillows hard but that's my problem I have a bad back!

Needed a place to chill out for a day or so before heading into the more touristy areas. I had a great time here, though. No restaurant at the residence, but there are a number of mom & pop snack and meal shops nearby, one that I frequented several times because the owner is a chef and his English was very good. And he and his wife were fun and jovial. Just the way to enjoy Thailand without being the everyday "fareng" on the streets.
