A Rose Update?

[dave_tf-old]

The last I heard, the Rose Hotel, surawong Bangkok, was remodeled. Wondering what changes have been made in rooms, price, welcome, joiners, etc.

Yo, Khun Dawit.

I stayed there for a night last November. Unbelievably changed from the old Rose you and I knew. Didn't I send you
a few photos?

The only thing you'd recognize is the general layout of the rooms, maybe the flooring in the hallways upstairs, and a couple of the ladies who still work there.

Think it was about 1400-1600 baht.

dave tf it seems you have not been paying attention to nurse TeePee's informative posts:

The bit you need to read is:

Rose Hotel, Bangkok
If you have been a regular visitor to Bangkok you may be surprised or even amused that we would add the Rose Hotel to our collection. This venerable property on Surawong Road fell into an era of decay, which gave it a reputation as a ragged "short time" hotel. If you saw it during that incarnation you would not believe your eyes now. The ugly duckling has become a classy, polished swan. While rooms are on the small side, they are attractively decorated, prices are low, and the location could not be better for our guests who enjoy nightlife. We will begin using the Rose Hotel on all of our Bangkok packages at the "Value" level on 1 October.

Thank you gentlemen, and TeePee for posting the link.

I guess the hunt is on for a similarly situated budget hotel I can steer a friend to.
