ジョシュ ホテル (バンコク)

総合的にはよかったです。 BTSアーリー駅からは歩いて7～8分かかるので、重い荷物を持っていると少し辛いです。 部屋は毎日掃除してくれて、水も1人1本冷蔵庫に入れてくれます。 ただ洗面台の掃除は甘く、髪の毛が残っていました。 アメニティは備え付けのシャンプーとボディソープ、バスタオルしかありませんので、歯ブラシや身体を洗うタオルは持参する必要があります。 食事はホテルではしていないのでわかりませんが、朝食を見た限りは、朝食代と釣り合ってはいないかなぁと思うので、食事なしにして外に食べに行った方がいいと思います。 お店はアーリー駅近くにたくさんあります。 宿泊客は中華系の方が多いですが、個人旅行の方ばかりなので、苦手な方でも大丈夫かと思います。

アリーに誕生したホテルで、駅までは徒歩10分程度。 近くにはおしゃれなレストランも多数あり、ロビーも含めとてもフォトジェニック。ただし部屋はかなり狭く、日本のビジネスホテルのような感じ。ドライヤーの風量が強いのがポイント高し。シャワーとトイレはかなり狭く、日本人的にはちょっぴり不満かも。かわいいホテルだけれど長期滞在には向かないかも。

The Josh Hotel is tucked away in a quiet side road close to the hustle and bustle of Soi Ari. Really convenient for the more tourist-driven parts of Bangkok but a nice place to go back to in the evening if you need a bit of peace and quiet. Staff are friendly (although you'll need to be tuned in to Thai pronunciation of some English words to fully understand what you're being told) and like everywhere in Thailand, you'll be greeted with a warm smile. The rooms are clean and well-looked after, and the beds very comfortable. This last week *would have been* my third stay at Josh Hotel but for the coronavirus pandemic first causing the cancellation of the Thai MotoGP event and then the cancellation of my flights home, meaning I could not even travel to BKK. Neverthelessless, I would recommend Josh Hotel for solo or family travellers who need a clean and comfortable place to rest their head for the night, but perhaps not so much if you want to hang by the pool, bar, restaurant and have an "in-hotel", "not-venturing-out-too-often" kind of holiday. For that, you might want something with an extra star or two in its rating. Oh yes! Also, don't bank on early check-in, even if you have requested and had this confirmed. Seems late-checkouts over-ride early check-ins!

Overall I liked it, and it was a welcome change from the typical Bangkok chain hotels. The staff were lovely and super helpful. Cleanliness was a bit lacking for me. My first room had animal droppings on the floors near the bed and in the bathroom. They moved me to a different room, which had dead bugs everywhere. The bathrooms reeked of mold/mildew. I was traveling with others and didn't hear any complaints from them, so might have been an isolated issue.

The hotel is strategically located amongst a bevy of cafes and restaurants. It was clean and the staff were pleasant. The amenities suffice for a short stay. However, I did find some of the design elements and amenities lacking. There should be a clock in every room, the towels could never dry properly because it was hung on hooks instead of a rack, there were no hand towels which can easily be hung beneath the sink.

The staff could not be more helpful, they were great

The hotel itself was clean however the room was quite small. We had two suitcases which made it very difficult to get around the room as there wasn’t much space. There is a small pool, just about big enough to get a bit of a swim in. The ‘secret’ bar was pretty cool, serving some delicious cocktails. Location was very convenient for access to the BTS. Plenty of restaurants around to eat in.

Nice retro like hotel. Gives a 60' feel. Nice pool, ice cream parlour etc.. Bad lightings along corridors.

The good: Very cool place, excellent value for money, great design, cool secret bar, comfy beds, good air con. The almost good: Breakfast could be better quality. Pool area not very private, great pool but it was hard to relax with dozens of Instagramers who are just walkiing in off the street taking hundreds of selfies while you try and swim or sit beside the pool. Be good if the pool area was for hotel guests only.

The location of the Josh hotel is great. A very up-and-coming neighbourhood with cosy, trendy places to eat mixed in with street food vendors and traditional Bangkok street life. The hotel itself is very basic, but has some hipster touches to make it feel more contemporary. The Jean Jullien rip offs on the walls feel like a nod to boutique hotel culture, but don't quite make up for the impractical wifi and uncomfortable bathrooms that make or break a short stay in Bangkok. Staff are friendly although take a very laid-back attitude, and are often a little perfunctory. Small changes, like tea and coffee facilities in the room and open wifi would make this place more than a simple hostel with some trendy flourishes, and into a really comfortable, contemporary urban oasis. Given the huge range of places to stay in Bangkok in this price range, you might consider choosing something less "hipster" and more comfortable.
