Hmmm... a little hard to find down an alleyway. We stayed two nights of our three nights booked and moved on early. Our room was ok, bedding towels were clean. Our friends room wasn’t with brown tape holding the bathroom ceiling together. Reception lady Kai was amazing and so very helpful with everything, it’s a shame the hotel let’s her down and the owner definitely needs to upgrade the place. About 10 mins walk from Kaosan Road.

The lady on reception in the day was lovely and helped with lots of great advice on places to visit and places to eat . The rooms .... well they are very basic and need attention . The path down to the hotel is badly lit and smells awful. Apart from that its in a hood location .

We had such a warm greeting off the staff and felt welcome straight away! Location is perfect really close to Khao San road, but quiet at the hotel. Clean and good shower pressure.

You get what you pay for.
I came in on a motorcycle which is fine as there is a very small alleyway to go down (I'm not kidding). But the room was ample if you do not want to swing a cat. LOL The girst lady I met at reception was fantastic, the second not quite so, but ok.

Thank you for your review. Yes, it is a small alley. Nice to know how you skilfully ride through it. Unfortunately, that's the space we have left for a public entrance, complimentary from our road frontage neighbours.

Peaceful option in a Muslim quarter of old Bangkok
This little hotel is in a Muslim quarter of old Bangkok. This is a great location--you are only five minutes' walk from Khao San Road, but you are also in a quiet, sane little corner. And you are only three minutes' walk from Phra Arthit river pier, where you can hop on the cheapest, easiest, and funnest transportation in Bangkok, the orange-flag river ferry (which will take you to the Grand Palace, Wat Arun, Wat Pho, Chinatown, and even the BTS). The hotel is next to the local mosque, but the call to prayer didn't wake me up, and it sounded beautiful when I did hear it around sunset. There was also halal street food, right where the alley meets the main street; nearby were several other street food options, a good pizza/Italian restaurant, and a hipster hostel with a restaurant serving hip Western drinks and food. (Speaking of the alley, which you must use to get to the hotel, anyone calling it "sketchy"--as one reviewer did--doesn't know that they are in Thailand. Street crime is really not an issue, even in Bangkok.) The hotel staff are nice and helpful; they will be attentive to you during your stay. They can even book you on quality, affordable tours--I took a day trip to Ayutthaya that was a highlight of my entire trip. As for the rooms, they are right for the price. I think the happiest customers will be budget travelers--like backpacker couples--who want more peace and privacy than they can find at the hostels. My room had private bathroom, great a/c, and great wi-fi.

Comfortable room - great location - great staff
This is the best hotel I've seen in this price range in Bangkok. The location in great, right next to convenient stores, restaurants, street food, cafes and bars but still quiet since it's down a long alley. It's also next to a couple of bus stops. The staff couldn't be more welcoming and helpful. The rooms are basic, but clean and have everything you need. Good AC, fast WIFI, etc. The bed was very firm, so if you need a soft, western-style bed you may want to look at some other options. Overall, if you're looking for a room in this price range, you won't do much better than this.

The place is very close to Kaoh San Road. The temples/Palace is about 35-45 minutes walk so doable. To get a Grab to the shopping centres is about 120 bath. The place is very basic but clean and the A/C is super cold!

The staff that worked at Amarin Inn was very nice, but the hotel was just not very comfortable. The bed was very uncomfortable, the bathroom was tiny (Knees pushed against the wall while on the toilet), and the windows were so old they couldn't shut. However, our least favorite part was that every morning at 4am a man would start praying on a LOUD megaphone next door that woke us up (and kept us up). This also happened throughout the morning, and at night until 9pm. Given this wasn't the hotels fault, but it didn't help that the windows didn't shut. Overall, nice people and service at a good price, but it was too uncomfortable for us.

Great little find away from the noise of Khao San
Staff were very welcoming and helpful, I stupidly booked the night before I meant to so booked again for the correct night and as I'd not used my stay the night before they gave me a bigger room and let me check in much earlier than the designated time. Room was a good size, bed was comfortable and hot shower. Location was far enough away from the noise of Khao San but still within a 10 minute walk away. Only downside was it's located down a very narrow alley, although it is lit at all times, I might've felt a little uncomfortable walking down on my own.

Very nice owner and convenient location
When we arrived VERY early in the morning, the owner let us check in, even though we were almost 10 hours early! We were given a basic room, even though we paid for an upgrade... but we didn't even bother complaining, as we basically got a free night's accommodation. Plus, we only paid the small amount more for the other room because we were concerned about the window right under the bed. Turns out it was pointed towards a hallway, and therefore light streaming in (or street noise) was never an issue. Complimentary toast and coffee/tea was a nice bonus. Rooftop patio was a surprise, and a good place to enjoy a beer. Great location for getting to Khao San road, although down a very narrow (slightly smelly alley). We didn't have any trouble finding the place after we looked it up on Google maps. Nice lady at the front desk let us leave our bags all day after checking out, and even let us use the toilet in their office. We ended up booking at Amrin Inn again when we returned to Bangkok.

We arrived at 6am and could check in right away instead of the official 2pm, with no additional costs! This was so nice of the owners, and they are lovely people! They gave us lots of information and our friends (who weren't staying here) could even store their luggage in our room and print their tickets! Room is basic but fine, bed is quite hard though but we slept well. Location is very good, near Khao San road but away from the noise. Would stay here again!

It's fine. Good cheap hotel for prebooking.
I got in late so I wanted to reserve a room. Amarin Inn the price was right. It's a perfectly acceptable adequate hotel. It is hard to find. There is a yellow sign but it's not lit. It's down a small alley between Smile Guesthouse and a 7 11. There's a lit sign at this alley for a boutique hotel. You can be right up on it and miss it. The staff was nice. There is a mosque nearby and 5am Call to Prayer can be heard. If I had gotten in earlier I may have tried the KC Guesthouse which is near the 7-11. KC Guesthouse looked nice and quoted me a bit less than Amarin for AC room. I think Bella Guesthouse would also be a good choice but Bella has no AC rooms. There are plenty of choices in this area so don't worry too much if you arrive early.
