Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Chillax Resort is praised for its spacious rooms, some featuring a jacuzzi, and its rooftop pool offering great city views. The location is ideal, with many restaurants nearby and easy access to attractions such as Khao San via a short Grab ride, while 'Eat Me Bangkok' is just across the street. While most find it convenient, some guests have noted that there is only one elevator which can cause delays at busy times. The hotel also boasts a fitness center for guest use.

the location suited my needs well enough.

the room's design was questionable with a bathroom only partially separated by a flimsy curtain. i could hear everything, and the light was disruptive. the tv offered poor reception and limited channels for international visitors so entertainment was difficult.
