Bangkok Mini-Hotels

Sometimes big ideas come in small packages. The new mini-hotels in Bangkok are one such example of something small that could catch on big.

The rooms: Four guest rooms — each named for a local flower — have futon beds and glass French doors. The only suite has a private terrace.

The amenities: Arun’s space may be spare, but its price can’t be beat; we don’t mind living without an alarm clock and in-room safe when there’s such a genial staff — and those refreshing glasses of freshly squeezed mango juice upon arrival.

Dirty secret: Call ahead for directions — most taxi drivers have never heard of the Arun or the small soi on which it’s situated.

Haha, not necessarily a good sign. These hotels are so small that no one has ever heard of them. Check out the whole article and see if these types of hotels are for you. I think they’re a bit on the small side for me.
