P.72 or Dream Hotel

[hggcraig]

Just trying to decide where I want to stay for my holiday later this year. At the minute im thinking about either the Dream hotel or P.72 hotel. I could afford a more expensive one, but all Im bothered about is a bed and a shower

 

Has anyone stayed in either? If so can you tell me what they are like please?

 

Thanks for any help

The strangest room I ever had was at P.72

 

It was room #309 at the end of the hall overlooking WS - directly across from the Lucifer Disco sign.

 

They took the fire escape at the end of the hall and sectioned it off with a locking glass door and a couple sliding glass doors inside the room. Some thin curtains (mostly) kept people from seeing into the room. While the hallway door would fully close & lock, neither the bedroom's glass door nor the large window leading out to the fire escape could be fully closed & locked - so anyone could easily get into the room through the fire escape!

 

I only used the room for a convenient ST off WS, so I wasn't too worried about the security since I slept & kept my computer/etc back at the condo I used as my main stay. All the same I still set up a "Brooklyn Burglar Alarm" of several glasses & empty bottles on the floor under the fire escape window. Hopefully anyone trying to sneak in would fall & slice themselves open on the broken glasses, or at least make enough noise to alert me that someone was breaking in.

 

The matress & blankets were really, really worn and the room was pretty tiny. Never saw the regular rooms, so no opinion there, but my room was a convenient ST room for the few days I used it.

So how much did you pay for that room?

I sent 2 emails requesting reservations for Dream hotel last week and never got back a reply.

 

I like the area as I love eating at the Boat Bakery on second road and getting a straight razor shave up Pattya South road.

 

If you get a reply from them, please tell me the email you used.

I don't recall, but I'm pretty sure it was under 1,000

I think i've stayed in that very same room. But i felt it was a big room.

The P72 sign looks the right height. Walking toward the end of the corridor (toward walking street) it was on the left.

 

The whole block was an extension to the front of the hotel. It didn't match up with the back. There was a strange stairwell at the back of our corridor where you could see the building was out of alignment. Went to go down it and the cleaners said 'wrong way'. You had to use the stairwell by the lifts to get down to reception.

Stayed in the Dream hotel last year. I hired a car and there's free parking (limited) which was really useful. Also, nice restaurant leading in. No pool though which was disappointing. Rooms pretty spacious and clean. Price was 700 i think.

I stayed in dream hotel many time,from 95 when named Nice hotel... very budget hotel in the middle of the action,but far from the noise, low price from 600 to 700 bt/night, just two rooms from 900,very friendly staff and good restaurant for brekfast..just 1 meter outside an exchanged bank, end bathbus for everywhere... on my next trip i'll change hotel, moving to LK Rennaissance, but just for have a bit luxury vacation..

really nice hotel!

[Helloblackshirt]

p72 is fine if you dont want to pay too much, there are 3 different rates 600 750 900 they are priced according to condition and location, the quieter rooms are more expensive as are the nicer rooms, they vary a fair bit so ask to see the room first, i stay there quite a lot
