The Myth-Sud Sathorn is a hidden gem in more than one ways. The property itself is in an excellent location if you are a budget conscious tourist - close to BTS, Taksin Pier, and multiple road connections (taxi, tuktuk, bus, etc etc).
Over and above this, the family who runs this heritage hotel is a hidden gem in itself. They shared their warm welcome and pride in their heritage hotel with us and made our stay extra special.
We were apprehensive about the reports of noise from the road way (which is indeed close by). But the two sets of windows (both of them are double glazed) make this a non issue. The rooms are exceptionally clean, the breakfast service is excellent (ask for the vegetarian menu if you don’t eat meat) and the family is always on hand via WhatsApp and in person to help organize trips and tours and practical advice on seeing and getting around Bangkok.
I would strongly recommend this hotel to all my near and dear ones. Wishing the family happy tidings for the new year and much success with maintaining their heritage in such an elegant and welcoming manner.
Thank you !

Came several times, already been like my second home.
every time i came to bangkok, i choose to come back to this hotel.
the hotel is actually modified from a building which is over 120 years old.
so you should be about to find it quite fasinating with the appearance as well as the style.
besides, the location is easy to find.
it is just across the bts station, Saphan Taksin.
And you can also access the Asiatique Night Market by the free shuttle boat at the ferry port just beside the bts station.
you can find 7-11, lots of restaurants/bars, and a shopping mall, which has a big supermarket closes at 12am, very close to the hotel.
the staffs are always super nice.
and they are easy to communicate as they speak perfect English.
the breakfast is fabulous.
the room is suprisingly huge, comfy and tidy.
the only down side i could carp is that the washrooms lack ventilation.
but you actually don't really call it a flaw because it is understandable that the owners want to preserve the old building as much as they can.
Other than that I can't even find a bad word for such amazing hotel.
Too close to heavy traffic bridge.
Too noisy
Can not sleep

This is a Charming family-run Hotel. English friendly and very helpful with finding things in the neighborhod and such. Clean, orderly, recently remodeled - I liked it a lot. Actually moved to this hotel from a larger Hotel 300 feet away. The other Hotel had mold/air quality issues with their air conditioning which was in all three rooms of our group and many immediately came down with sore throats and respitory complaints - classic stuff you see in various hotel reviews in Thailand. The Myth-Sud was great! One day/night and I was back to normal. Many of my friends went home sick on the plane. Only thing someone might consider is road noise. The rooms do face the road but I felt it more like white noise. They do provide ear plugs on your pillow like mints. So if you're super sensitive maybe it's not the right choice.
While the Sathorn area is the only place I stayed both times in Bangkok, I enjoyed it. Price wise it's a little less than other areas and this hotel in particular was a straight shot to the BTS and Sathorn Pier/water Taxis (5 minutes) which are a good ways to get around, as well as tuktuks.
I would definitely stay there again. The price is right and the people are great. As I checked out at 3:30 am I don't know about the breakfast but I'm sure it's just fine. Just remember none of these hotels, at any price point, are our western style Hyatt Hilton Marriott - and that's the point of travel anyway, isn't it?!
