Sourire at Rattanakosin Island

This was my second time staying at the Sourire. I had a couple of days in Bangkok before returning to Canada and wanted to visit the Grand Palace and a few other historic sights all within walking distance. Khaosan Road is only a few minutes away as well. The Sourire is small, even cozy. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was not opulent but more than enough for a short stay. I was too lazy to get up in time to take advantage of the free breakfast and my only wish would be for a kettle or coffee maker in the room. I arranged with the desk for a taxi to Suvarnibhum Airport for my early flight (600B) which got me there in good time. I’ll stay at the Sourire again.

we stayed in room 409, my advice to anyone who is staying or considering staying here is AVOID room 409 it was a dull and depressing room, low natural light, no outside view due to the window being coverd over, the couloir scheme of pink walls and ceiling dark woodwork was ugly and dirty scratched paintwork added to to dour flavour of the room, the bathroom area was so tiny thay i could barely get my leg between the wall and the front ent of the toilet bowl, and when using it i had to sit with my knees wide apart so as to fit in the space, the shower was a fixed head type, anyone over about 5’6” would need to stoop in order to wash thier shoulders and head, the hot water tap head came off twice due to the fixing screw missing and again the black and white tiling looked old and dated, the breakfast was dull and not very interesting at all, our room was only cleaned twice because we were in the room when they called, they never came back later, the staff were friendly though and the location of the hotel was good, but i would not recommend or use again

Not wht is expected !

The room is small but very clean . Service is very very good.

This is the perfect hotel for a few days in Bangkok. It is clean, central and the staff are amazingly helpful and friendly. The breakfast was delicious. It consisted of fruit, toast, jam and your choice of eggs. The coffee was perfect. There is a wonderful little courtyard that is great for sitting around in. Very close to all of the major sites but also very quiet and peaceful.

Really cozy place with ambiance. Very sweet owners/managers. The breakfast was a bit late for us though, as we tend to get up at 6 am. Also there was no shower curtain and a few items that were advertised (such as a coffee maker) were not to be found. That was a little disappointing.

Sourrire is a nice place to stay. They need to invest just a small amount to improve the quality of their rooms, a shower head that doesn't spray everywhere would be nice. The location is ideal in the old city and far enough from Khao San that it us nice and quiet. The breakfast is basic as I expect most accommodation of this quality offers.

Bathroom was very small and couldn’t get the AC to work properly. Staff couldn’t do enough to help and it was well situated for most of the tourist attractions. Free breakfast was really nice and far better than I expected. Staff arranged good priced taxis to and from the airports for us.

I had a wonderful stay here. From the friendly welcome to an early but equally friendly departure. The breakfast was excellent and the courtyard bar area delightful. This hotel has character. Location was superb. A nice quiet street but close to all the main tourist sights in Bangkok. All just a short tuktuk ride away. I was very impressed and if I get the opportunity to visit Bangkok again I would love to return to the Sourire.

Great location for anyone wanting a quiet hotel but within easy walking distance of Grand Palace and Khao San Road. Very clean, lovely friendly staff and a really peaceful spot minutes from everything we wanted to see during our stay.
