Its location in the middle of the busy Surawong road is convenient if you wish to visit the night market or the many bars nearby. There is a 7-11 just opposite and Starbucks just down the street. Getting transportation to and from the hotel is really convenient too. Guess it's because it's a rather well-known hotel, so everyone knows where... More

I stayed here three nights in February 2012. The room was of a good size, very adequately equipped, though the tv set was old (but fully functioning) with very few channels on it; and there is no dvd player. Everything was very clean. This hotel must be one of the oldest in the area but it is well maintained. Everything... More

The old hotel's location on Surawongse near patpong. It is very busy night market and night clubs and cafes. During the day it's more quiet. tawana ramada old hotel building, but very comfortable. Has a swimming pool behind the building and it is refreshing on a hot day of Bangkok. Breakfast for 15 $ is good but expensive for 3-4... More

We stayed at the Tawana in 2009 and 2011. As other reviewers have written it is a bit dated but thats what gives it character. Cool old elevator, nice wood work every where. Rooms were large, comfy bed. Our room had a nice deck overlooking the pool area. The pool is decent size and clean and sun almost all day.... More

Stayed for 3 nights. The room was okay a bit dated, clean although the windows was very dirty. Bed comfortable but the pillows were hard as rocks. We could hear everything that happened in the halls, the staff was loud in the mornings when they started cleaning the rooms a 7.30. The breakfast buffet was good and all the staff... More

Most of the staff is very friendly, accommodating and speak great English. Beds are comfortable, clean and mattresses in good shape. Room is fine for a traveler who is spending one or two nights. The swimming pool is beautiful, large and private. Buffet breakfast includes both Western and Asian, staff is very attentive and fills up your coffee cup constantly.... More

Booked this one a bit last minute. Was a completely different experience to the Swissotel down the road - functional, a bit dated, very busy, grubby and expensive for what it is. Was disapointed with breakfast. Did not live up to the standard of other hotels on our Thailand trip (which were cheaper too) More

The Tawana Bangkok is very well located in central Bangkok, a couple of blocks from the Night Market, lots of good restaurants, etc. The staff is very friendly, many speak English, and there is an extensive breakfast buffet with both Eastern and Western foods. The standard room is reasonably spacious and clean. There is a nice pool and pool bar. More

Very responsive staff and very good with English. While on a OAT tour my luggage was broken into from room to departure bus. A full denial of incident yet the zipper was busted open. Took three hours to manually repair while on the next leg of our tour to Myanmar. My wife's costume jewelry was also stolen during this time.... More
