All good
Villa is situated well- near Khao san Rd, but far enough away from the late night noise. Close to restaurants. They have luggage storage and staff were friendly

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.

OK, traveller type accomodation, great location
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”.

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.

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.

Very nice place. Would recommend.
Very nice pool. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Our room was on the top floor which had a nice roof terrace and balcony area. Room was very clean and nice to come back to after a day of exploring Bangkok. Amenities were plentiful including kettle with tea and coffee ready to go, plenty of soap, shampoo and free water. Bathroom was very nice and of a modern design. Local area had everything you wanted with khaosan road only minutes away yet the room was very quiet. I would recommend to others unless maybe elderly or disabled as there is no elevator. Also the tv only had one channel but Wi-Fi is strong enough to watch online programmes.

Terrible service
We stayed for a 1 day layover and it was the worst hotel we experienced in bangkok. They required a deposit of 1500 baht on arrival which makes it feel really cheap. They don't have elevators and did not even offer any assistance with bringing our luggage to the 2nd floor using stairs. The receptionist was terrible, no smile, not even offering any help. We were asking about how to get to mbk and cannot be bothered and instead refered us to ask questions with their travel booking service. Our room was not clean, the walls were filthy. No toiletries and did not even give soap when we asked at the reception saying "it wasn't part of our package" - come on, for a piece of soap??? They would rather get bad ratings and loose potential customers than give a cheap piece of soap. Service needs improvement badly. Rooms were also noisy, you can hear whats going on in the corridors and even on the adjacent rooms. The only thing goid about this place is their location. Other than that its not worth it. There are a lot of nicer hotels you can get with better services and facilities for the same price range.

Great vibe as soon as you walk into the reception. The location is fantastic. The area is very touristy, but we liked that. There was heaps of shops, restaurants and bars. Nice pool. Room was a bit small. Decent bed and bathroom. Will definitely stay here again.

It's very old. The walls almost fall apart. The staff wasn't too friendly. We had no windows and bad lightning so it was really dark. Its okay for 250 bath but for this price I would say please improve

It was stated that our room usually is 1800 baht a night, but now only 700. This room is not worth 1800 baht at all, not really worth 700 either. It was an OK experience but I expected much more considering the stated price.

Clean, quiet, great location
We were recommended Wild Orchid Villa by friends, as a basic but clean hotel in a great location - and that's just what we got! Location was great, rooms were clean; however, the lightning in the room wasn't that great and the room was quite small. Other than that, it was a nice, quiet stay in the busy city of Bangkok.

This was my second time staying at Wild Orchid and I had a great experience! Centrally located and lovely atmosphere. Staff wasn't the friendliest but they had good food, a lovely and clean pool area, rooftop terrace, and a 5 minute walk to Khao San Road. No complaints, definitely recommend.

We check out 1 night early
We booked for 3 nights, paid in advance and let them know of your late check in (about 11 pm). We were given a room next to utilities area and the stairs just up from the reception (103), I asked for another as I thought it would be very noisy, I was told no rooms available. The room was very dirty, it wasn't a case of a bit of dust, it was blocks of grey matter all over the glass in the windows...the sheets damp, no pressure in the shower. I asked in the morning for another room as even with earplugs the noise from the stairs was getting to me, still nothing available and again the next morning and same answer. We stayed here 2 years ago and know you get what you pay for but there is no way they couldn't have swapped rooms and feel for the same money there is better. Checked out early losing the money for the last night unfortunately and won't be staying again :( if you do book don't pay in advance! Check out your room first and then decide, the hotel has gone down hill...

Nice enough hotel. Bangkok is rubbish
This hotel really has a travellers feel. Although not the best it really wasn't that bad. Close enough to kho San road. It had a pool we didn't use but looked ok. Bathroom was a bit haggard. But overall was fine. Had to leave a 1500 bht deposit. Bangkok on the other hand was such a disappointent. Travellers don't waste more than 2 days it really is rubbish!
