Boutique Poo-Yai Ma

In the interest of fair warning, if you are going to stay at this hotel through June 30, 2019, be aware it is under renovation. Some days, that just meant saws, drills, hammers, and construction glue. Several days, however, they were using pneumatic drills and sledge hammers; the entire building shook and it sounded like we were going to have a structural failure. I was there for three weeks and had prepaid. It was not so fun. The staff is friendly and the hotel is very well kept. But, I did go through a week where my room wasn't cleaned; at one point that went on for four days. The wifi was solid. The room was huge. I'm not a fan of A/C but you could make it arctic if that's what you want. If you're from the U.S., know that they have Asian style beds, which are rock hard. It made me long for my sleeping bag and Thermarest. The hotel is indeed close to Chatuchak Market, two BTS stations, and a MRT station. However, there is nowhere to eat nearby, except for the Poo Yai Ma Cafe, which is very mediocre. Late at night, taxis and Grab did not want to take me back so far north.

Boutique Poo-Yai Ma has a warm, friendly staff and very clean, spacious rooms. We had a very early arrival, but we were able to store our luggage for 7 hours before checking in. We had hoped for a late checkout for an extra fee, but the hotel was fully booked, but were able to store our luggage again. The location is close to both Mo Chit and Saphan Khwai stations, Chatuchak Weekend Market. The only downsides are a hard mattress, no bathroom counter, towel racks or hooks, no safe, and no luggage racks. We would stay here again.

Lovely place and quiet if not for the morning rush hour. The staff can and make attempt to communicate so be patient with them. The Japanese restaurant staff are friendly and helpful, and we byo at no charge. Further down walking 8mins towards Jatujak, there's a sundries and noodle shop. Must try the pork noodle soup, it's delicious and soup is boiling hot, very suitable to our palate with the fresh basil leaves free to add in. I will definitely stay there if I will visit BKK again.

The hotel didn't have my reservation info when we arrived. The receptionist requested me to email the booking confirmation email from hotels.com. But I refused to let them have my personal info about booking except for booking number. Other things about the hotel was not too bad. This hotel does not provide breakfast service.
