Wild Orchid Villa

The property was not in use when we arrived. Despite it having been under renovation for some time when we arrived no one had contacted us to inform us our hotel reservation had been moved to a different hotel. There was a note on the building informing us of the hotel we should have been going to instead however no instructions on how to get there and the contact number wasn't answered.

Location was perfect. Bed was comfortable but our room was full of termites. It ate our clothes and put holes in it. My wife’s legs were full of little rashes/ pimples caused by the bugs. If we knew earlier that it was due to termites, we would have shift to an another place. Nevertheless service was good. They’ll be renovating the hotel so hopefully everything will be in better state for others! Have fun in Thailand and don’t forget to smile. 😁

Clean and basic hotel. Me and my wife both enjoyed our stay. Next to busy nightlife but quiet enough to sleep. Good hotel for small amount of money.

I have stayed here numerous times over the past 10 years. Typical backpacker/traveller feel. I had a Superior Double room, there are numerous different room types including dorms (with levels of satisfaction varying significantly from what I can tell). I’m sure there are better places in the neighbourhood, but I am lured by the convenience of location and knowing what I am getting. Pros: great area set amongst the laneways with plenty of eateries/bars, pleasant place to stroll; convenient to ferry, walkable to Palace; quiet, bright and airy room with small balcony (bathroom built on balcony/semi outdoor); comfortable bed, nice linen; reasonable value - I found a decent deal; small pool area. Cons: rooms relatively tired, but clean; ground floor restaurant overpriced (but plenty of alternatives on doorstep) - the restaurant used to be very busy but was rarely more than half full which I suspect reflects poor value vs alternatives; staff somewhat surly; THB1,500 cash or passport deposit required for room damage; trying to evolve from a backpacker place but retains large notices about fines for taking non guests past the stairs, charges for damaged room items etc; which makes the place feel less friendly; wifi signal was not good in my room - only worked if I stood by my door (my room was at one end of the building). Overall a decent place to stay (in the better rooms), I feel there are better places, but if you like staying in a traveller type place, this is “ok”.

Wild Orchid is BASIC but very suitable accommodation for what you pay. It’s NO thrills rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff are VERY friendly and it’s in a GREAT location 2 minutes walk from the noisy but quirky Kohsan Road Oh it has a nice little pool also and a great restaurant

Lobby hang out area is really chill and nice. Front desk open 24/7 for early or late check-in or out. Friendly staff.

Good service/staff.. good a/c. Great location , not too close to party street but not too far

The hotel is pretty cheap and its biggest advantage is the nice location. The pool is located between high buildings on both sides and the sun only shines there a short time during the day (at least in january). The room was a little dirty and the bathroom was outside on the balcony so if you are planning to go naked to the toilet or to take a shower, be prepared that the people staying in the building on the other side of the street will see everything. There are five or six floors but no elevator, so be also prepared to have some exercise while going to your room.

Nice friendly place. In busy section so expect nightime noise-bring headphones. Wifi was awful, inconsistent and weak.

The bed was comfortable and the staff helpful especially giving us a bucket of ice. There was no fridge and the toilet and shower were reached from the outside balcony which compromised privacy. However the hotel was in a reasonably good location.
