A few weeks ago someone was asking about the new budget hotel called the "Take a Nap"...it is next to the BB place on Soi Rama 4, across from the Snake Farm. For those who use soi Twilight as their stomping grounds, then it is a few steps away around the corner.
For those who are looking for a budget hotel, then its...ok. It has more of a dorm feeling to it with the cheap vinyl flooring, no wardrobe to hang ones clothes (oh, you are given two hangers), and lack of decor. But since it is new, it is clean and functional. (with some of the poor workmanship, the place will quickly start showing its wear and tear...such as the *hitty paint job (chalk white which soaks up all the finger prints and grime).
The beds are comfortable, there is a TV in the room, BUT no refrigerator to put your goodies in. The tiled showers are spacious and there is hot water. Breakfast is included (but I never got up early enough to try it).
The staff is super friendly and speak English. Yes, there is internet there. Each room has some "theme" -- which means the one wall is papered with some scene- jungle, tuk-tuks on the street, cartoon animals... (the do have a web sight)
For a double, it was 1300 baht. For a single it was 1000. (no, I don't know about bringing guests, I had my BF with me)
If you stay there, MAKE SURE YOUR ROOM IS NOT FACING THE OVER PASS HIGHWAY. Our room was noisey with the traffic buzzing outside the window.
Since my night roosting places are at soi 4 and soi 2 along Silom, I probably won't stay there again because I didn't like crossing Surawang Street ( I do enough of that in Pattaya).
So right now, it a brand new place at a good price if you are looking for a budget place to stay at.
