Very near the shopping center”

we reached first house via taxi from the airport. we exited at level 1 and asked this taxi coordinator to arrange a taxi which can carry 5 passengers (since we're five in the group). fortunately, they do such arrangements and they assigned a bigger taxi for us (an avanza or an inova, i'm not sure). before we arrived at the hotel (maybe 1 week before), i e-mailed first house to ask the flood condition and whether someone would entertain us if we arrive at 12 midnight. they replied and informed us that the pratunam area is not affected by flood and they would happily accomodate us even late at night. the receptionists are okay. not rude or grouchy as some reviewers noted. maybe the language barrier is just the issue. anyway, we went to our rooms (not the renovated ones) and we were surprised that they are big and clean. i thought the rooms would be dirty and small due to some reviews, but then we were surprised that the rooms turned out okay considering the dirt cheap price we paid. the hotel is near all the shopping malls such as platinum mall, mbk, siam paragon, siam discovery, central world, and a big c. it's also right smack the pratunam market where cheap goods are sold. aside from this, first house is very near the baiyoke tower where you can enjoy a 360 degree view of bangkok if you're a good walker, you could walk to all the malls i mentioned above. but if you get easily tired (especially with the humidity of thailand) then i suggest you take a cab. around the area is a good money changer, a 7-11, and a lot of travel agencies offering tours in bangkok and other places in thailand. however, i suggest you also ask first the travel agency person in the hotel first so you could compare prices with those being offered outside the hotel. the breakfast every morning was okay, just fried eggs, fried rice, toast, fruits, coffee and tea.if you're not a heavy eater in the morning, this would suffice.first house isn't near trains so taxi is the main option.

great rooms and location but rooms not sound proof”

upon arriving in bangkok at the airport, we took a train down to payathai station where we decided to walk to the hotel from there. warning: if you're a first timer and do not know the area well, or carrying heavy luggages, do not walk as the walk is further than you'd enjoy in the bangkok heat (with luggages). there are no road signs so it was a little hard to find the lane the hotel was located at (soi 19) but you can simply ask the locals there and they'll be more than willing to help you out! just take note that the hotel is not so well known as it is new and people tend to think of the more well known first hotel instead of first house hotel. then again, i'm not sure whether the taxis will be willing to pick you up as it is not far enough for them to earn money unless you're willing to not go by the taxi meter (and get ripped off). check in was relatively quick and painless, free wifi had superb connections i must say - no issues with it throughout! uploading of photos, tweets and posts etc was fast. love the fact that they have king sized beds for couples - other hotels i've been to tend to give queen sized beds:( the room is as spacious as it looks in the photos! location: location was great. just a 30m walk down to platinum mall, and if you turn right there's a small gate which provides a shortcut to the street markets near the baiyoke area. note that the gate closes at 12 midnight (bkk time) and you'll have to walk a big round if it's closed! having said that, cleaning of rooms tend to be a little slower than the larger hotels. otherwise it was really a great trip! really loved the hotel! definitely will consider booking it again if i go back.

Bangkok Trip at First House Hotel”

My stay at First House Hotel was great. We need to be fair in giving reviews. I went there with a very low expectations given the negative reviews and the cheap hote rate I paid. However, the services of the hotel (the staff and everything) exceeded my expectations. For the price I paid and for what I got out of it, it was great. I would definitely be back there. To those who plan to visit Bangkok, if you have limited budget for hotel and you go there for sight-seeing and shopping, First Hotel is no doubt the better place. Also, I would like to thank Siam and Smile Travels (Tourism Authority of Thailand, Ninja and our driver Phisit) for arranging everything for our sight-seeing. It made the whole Bangkok experience a fantastic one.

Good hotel with the best location and service”

The hotel is good. I like stay at first house hotel because the location is very strategic. In front of the hotel there is a cargo for business woman-man who want to send package to their country. Well, I send some clothes because the dlothes in thailand is very very cheap. So, staying at first hotel give me the ease of everything. The hotel also near from mall, such as platinum, pratunam, golden diamond,etc. so for me it is like heaven staying at first house hotel for I like shopping very much. The price of the hotel also worth it. The room is clean,the concierge also very nice and helpful. Everytime i go back to Thailand I will for sure stay at first house hotel again.

Good location ....”

we have stayed several times in first house hotel during the past years. it was quite a run down budget hotel during the past years with smell,water seepage and bugs in hotel rooms. but during our recent stay, it was fine after a newly renovated rooms, looks brght and spacious. moreover, they have free wifi - request password from recept counter! the breakfast in hotel has various type of food except the coffee and tea which is not as good as in spore. i will highly recommend this hotel to all budget travellers to bangkok because it is accessible to wholesale market in pratunam, platinum shopping mall just walking distance, it panthip mall also 5 mins walk, massage and hair salons are around the hotel. those who like to worship the 4 face buddha in erawan square, about 15mins walk to the temple. very convenient hotel. we will stay again should we travel to bangkok again!

Excellent Location, Value for Money”

This is my 2nd time for staying at First House Hotel, this hotel has a new renovated building and it's nice! as usual the location is really fantastic especially for you who love to do shoppings because just located 5 - 10 mins walks to the Platinum shopping mall. and you would have lots of foods around you.. very easy and convinient also there are 7-11 stores just right across the hotel. true this hotel may not have swimming pool or others facilities like luxury hotels, but for you who want to have a value for the money this hotel is really recommended. spacious room , very nice location in the central of bangkok and also the price is value for money. will definitely come back again later if i am going to bangkok.

Perfect stay in Pratunam”

I've tried a few hotel in this area, no one comes closer to First House Hotel, couldn't believe to get so good hotel with such price, everything's perfect, except the street in front of the hotel, the one to walk to Platinum mall or to the main road, is totally congested for the whole day, difficult to walk due to cargo trucks keep coming in and out, though it doesn't make any noise in side the room but it is frustrating to repeat this feeling for the 4 days of our stay. Anyway, I still strongly recommending this hotel for those who are going to Pratunam area, this is the best among all same level hotels. I'll definitely come back again

Best location for your shopping spree in Bangkok”

I always go toFirst House Hotel whenever I go to Bangkok because it is the best location for me for shopping. It is near Platinum and Pratunam. The staff are quite friendly and the rooms are always kept clean. I get my moneys worth with every stay I do in Bangkok. My favorite Thai food if serve nearby at The Place 168 and the massage is quite good at the adjacent massage parlor too. If you like to send a nice time in Bangkok and get your money's worth try First House Hotel.

Fantastic Hotel”

My second visit to the beautiful country of Thailand was made even more special since I decided to spend a week in Thailand with my family at First House Hotel,Pratunam,Bangkok. It was a great experience when staying at this hotel as i never felt that i was out of home and felt more right at home. The facilities and conditions were at a very good standard and room service was exemplary. I woul recommend this hotel to anyone who visits Thailand. Cheers Nirmo De Silva

Strategic location with spacious room”

first house hotel is located in a very strategic location whereby pratunam market is just downstairs.first house hotel is out of my expectation.at first,i thought the room might not look the same as shown, but i was wrong.i was amazed with the big room with nice decoration.i booked a triple room and it is big enough for me and my friends to place our shopping goods and luggage everywhere in the room.i like the classic feel of wall photo in the room and also the modern lamps.the toilet is clean too.towels and some toiletries are provided.there is a red bean bag too in the room!cool!the housekeepers and front desk staff are friendly too. the only thing that travelers need to prepare is hair dryer because it is not provided in the room.one more thing is that they do not provide safe box in the room too.the soundproof of the rooms is not good too as you can hear people walking along the corridor and the noise downstairs.but it will be fine when it hits 12am midnight onwards. overall,i like this hotel as it is very strategic with big and clean room.i like it and i would like to stay here again the next time.i am satisfied with the hotel.

great stay”

that was my first time to bangkok, i travelled with family and we really love the hotel. first time i arrived in first house i think that just a standard hotel. but when i came into my room. the room very comfortable, clean, and has cute design. the plus thing : great location. there was a shopping area beside the hotel and pratunam market just 5 minutes walk and many other place for shopping around the hotel. and also there was tour service and car rent in loby hotel

Superb Location with Great Hospitality”

It's located in a small (2-lane) alley, called Soi 19. Arrived early and the hotel offers to help us to store our luggage. The best way to arrive to the door way of the hotel is via tuk-tuk. Just tell them First House Hotel Soi 19 that would do. Could never imagined that this hotel is an 8-storey building. We stayed in a room which can accommodate 3, each of us have our own single beds. The room is spacious and clean, same goes to the bathroom. Complimentary mineral water and tea/coffee sachets are refilled daily. For hot water you can always get from the dispenser near to the lift. The have bellboy to help you to transfer your luggage too! There's a small counter outside the hotel that offers tour / taxi services. Just tell them what you need and it will be arranged! Small food stores, convenient stores, money changers, and etc. are just within walking distance! Walking distance to Pratunam Market, Platinum Mall, TALAD night market and etc. Highly recommended.

Great location for shopaholic”

I really like first house hotel because the place is very near the shopping area - pratunam. The room is A ok for us, its clean. There is a wifi in the room. Im a shopaholic so this place is the ideal hotel for me because whenever i feel my bag is already heavy, i just go back to the hotel and empty my bag for my next shopping. The price for the room is reasonable enough so dont expect too much. I think they should improve their menu for the breakfast or add more menu. Breakfast menu: toast bread, spreads, garlic rice or steam rice, egg, sausage, fried chicken wings, hot noodles, pad thai, coffee, orange juice and pineapple juice, there is also a vegetable salad and variety of fruits. They are very honest person, especially the one cleaning the room because my son just leave his ipad2 in the room.

First time staying in First House, Bangkok”

My comment for this hotel is that the hotel is one great hotel to stay with. Price wise or price range for their rooms are quite cheap and affordable. The access to the shopping areas is satisfying. The service given by the hotel is satisfying and they do can speak english very well. The housekeeping is also very well done. So I can stay there comfortably. About the transport, its very easy to find taxi or tuk tuk to transport us to anywhere we want. The staff in the hotel is also very friendly and treat us very nicely.The food is also very good and the hotel also have internet access thus allowing me to do my work while i was away from the office. And i would love to stay in First House, Bangkok again for my next trip.

Great Location Hotel”

First House Hotel has a good location, located nearby shopping stall, very cheap and good quality Thai clothes. It has money exchanger nearby, many food stall nearby too. The hotel room is clean and spacious , it's with free breakfast at a very affordable price. It's location is also near Pantip Plaza, Platinum Square. Outside the hotel is a table where you can book ur tour, it has a good price and negotiable, I will stay again in this hotel if I will come back to Bangkok again.

Nice Location, Super Convenience, Worth It”

Overall I was happy to stay at First House Hotel. It's so convenience to go famous shopping centre, all walking distance (platinum mall is just opposite). I choose First House Hotel because I like to shop at Pratunam Market. To those who love buying cheaper clothes, you must choose First House Hotel, the hotel location is just nice in Pratunam Market. The only thing I don't like for this hotel is, the bedstead unstable, you can feel the shake and heard the noisy sound when you sit/sleep on the bed. Anyway, this is just a minor issue to me, I will still choose First House Hotel for my next visit to Bangkok.

Awesome Location, Spacious Room, Best Value!”

We stayed in the triple room for 2 nights. We were amazed at how spacious the room is when we first saw it. Super clean and comfortable bed. Housekeeping service was very swift too as the room was already cleaned after I finished having breakfast downstairs. Thumbs up to the staff for keeping the room so clean! The plus point is the price we paid, very reasonable for such room condition and service. There is a 7-11(the place to find good snacks in Bangkok!) right opposite the hotel and lots of eateries/food stalls nearby. A very good place for those who want to experience local lifestyle and try local food. Note that most stalls(food/fashion) around this area closes at night, if you wish to explore during night time you might have to walk further. Last but not least, staffs were helpful and responsive to our request. Very good stay, will recommend to anyone intending to stay in Pratunam area.

Great Location for shopping”

If what you're looking for is a conveniently located hotel in Bangkok, look no further than First House Hotel. With its perfect location, guests can easily reach Platinum Fashion Mall, Diamond Plaza and Pantip IT Plaza which are just across the street. It is very near (5 minutes walk) to prathunam / baiyoke markets, Shibuya Mall and good foods are also can be find along Shibuya 19 street. The hotel is also only 10 minutes from Ratchathewi BTS Station, which can bring to the most popular shopping malls in Bangkok such as Siam Paragon, MBK, Central World Plaza, and Siam Square. First House Hotel is a one-stop destination for quality accommodation in Bangkok mainly for shopping.

Upkeep Maintainence”

cleanliness and staff are very good and accommodating. checking into the hotel was a breeze. location wise is good as is just next to Pratunam Market and there will be street food outside at the hotel too but the downside is, whenever we called Uber/Grab service, most of the driver doesn't know the way and some are reluctant to turn in as it is small alley. hence, our waiting time has been prolonged. First House offered the basic necessities which is all we needed. it can be better if First House can upkeep their maintenance. one of the rooms we booked, we need to slam the bathroom door hard enough to lock it and another room, the water is seeping from the bottom of the toilet bowl, thus the floor is always wet. however, overall, i am satisfied with my stay here.

First House Hotel in Bangkok”

I needed to be in the Pratunam area of Bangkok so This hotel is in a great location. The room was quiet and comfortable; I got a good sleep. Although this was not a fancy location, the price was right and I was not missing anything here that i could get at a more expensive location. It is close enough to the Skytrain that you can walk to Chit Lom or Siam station, but there are plenty of tuk tuks and taxis to get you there quicker. I will definitely return to first House on my next business trip to Bangkok.
