Buddy Lodge has a fantastic location right on Khao San Road, making it easy to explore nearby attractions like the Grand Palace and Wat Pho. The rooftop pool is a refreshing oasis after a day of sightseeing, though Khao San Road can be quite noisy at night. I’d recommend asking for a quieter room at the back of the hotel if you're sensitive to noise. Overall, it’s a solid choice for those wanting to soak in the vibrant atmosphere of the area.

My room was clean and nicely decorated, featuring a large four-poster bed and an ensuite bathroom. I appreciated having four complimentary bottles of water delivered each day. However, the hot water in the shower was a bit sporadic during my stay.

The staff were generally helpful, assisting me with checking in early and storing my luggage. They even helped me book a taxi for my departure. While their English wasn't perfect, I found them accommodating and eager to assist.

Being directly on Khao San Road is both a blessing and a curse. It’s convenient for access to nightlife and attractions, but prepare for noise, especially during weekends. Still, I enjoyed the vibrant energy that surrounded me.

I didn’t experience much of the dining aspect since the pub downstairs had a strong smell of cigarette smoke. It wasn’t the healthiest option, but it served its purpose for quick meals.

The rooftop pool area was a highlight of my stay. It was perfect for cooling off and relaxing, although I wish it stayed open later in the evening.

I spent a full week at Buddy Lodge, mainly because I wanted to soak up the energy of Khaosan Road. The location is perfect for those wanting the nightlife and hustle of the area, but it's good to know you can expect some noise until the early morning. The hotel itself is decent and definitely a step up from budget hostels, with clean rooms and helpful staff. However, I did notice that the cleanliness could be better maintained, especially on balcony areas.
Rooms

I stayed in a Deluxe King Room, and while it was generally clean and comfortable with a nice shower, I felt the balcony could have used a good cleaning. The bed had a comfortable topper, which definitely contributed to a good night's sleep, though the noise from the street was sometimes a bit intrusive.

The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond, helping me with taxi bookings, which was a huge relief. Manager John was especially diligent in providing direction and service during my stay, which added a personal touch.

Being right on Khaosan Road meant I was immersed in all the nightlife—there's no shortage of food and entertainment options right outside. But I'm not going to lie; it can get loud at night. If you're looking for peace and quiet, this place might not be for you, but for partying and having a good time, it’s ideal.
Dining

I didn’t get to experience the on-site dining much, and I did hear complaints about the breakfast not being great. It would have been nice if the dining area had better ventilation since there were definitely times when the smell of smoke from nearby pubs could seep in.

I absolutely loved the rooftop pool area; it was a nice escape after a day of exploring. The gym facilities were also good, which helped balance out my indulgent meals. However, I wished the pool was open later for those late-night swims.

I stayed at Buddy Lodge for a few nights, and while the amenities were decent, the noise from Khaosan Road made it hard to get a good night's sleep. The friendly staff made the experience enjoyable, and I loved relaxing by the rooftop pool. Overall, it was a great spot if you want to be in the middle of the action! 🎉🌴

I had a fantastic stay at Buddy Lodge, right on Khao San Road! The location is perfect for those looking to enjoy the vibrant nightlife, but still close enough to visit key attractions like the Grand Palace. The staff were incredibly helpful, especially John, who provided great tips for navigating the area. While the noise from the nearby bars can be a bit much at night, the overall comfort of the room made my stay enjoyable.

While dining options were limited within the hotel, I didn't mind since there are plenty of great eateries and bars just a few steps away. However, the breakfast could use improvement, as it was quite basic.

I had a pleasant stay at Buddy Lodge, enjoying its cleanliness and the lovely rooftop pool. The location on Khao San Road is perfect for immersing in Bangkok's vibrant scene, though I wasn't prepared for the noise that persists into the early hours. Overall, it's a great option for exploring the city, but if you're sensitive to sound, be ready for a bustling atmosphere.

Being right on Khao San Road was a double-edged sword; while it's central to nightlife and food options, the chaos and noise at night were a bit overwhelming for me. Still, I appreciated its proximity to major attractions like the Grand Palace and Wat Pho.
