I went to look at House by the Pond a few days ago.
1.) It is far, far, away from anything.
There are no shops or restaurants nearby - none.
It is about 2 miles from the nearest Skytrain station at Phrompong (Emporium). Remember that is 2 miles along cracked and broken sidewalks (footpaths). You can take a taxi or motorcycle taxi, of course, but would you want to every time you went out for even a meal?
2.) There is a "house" and there is a "pond" - you can see them out of the lobby window, but you won't be staying there. The actual accommodation is a very ordinary, drab, slightly run-down, apartment building. The rooms are fair at best. The view is of more similar buildings.
3.) The place is over-priced for what is offered. There are countless condo-tels like this around Bangkok, for less money. Apparently the nice name, "House by the Pond", is an excuse to double the rates.
4.) I can find no reason, none, to recommend this place.

Thanks for taking the time to check this out.... way beyond the call of duty...... saved me some time moving around. Have'nt been in town since 1969.......
I am flying in from the world end of November. Tell me Grottino (1700)....... or Bourbon St. (1200). Both have indicated they are GF and I am also looking for LB friendly.
Regards,

thanks for the info Dave
So I ll have to cancel with them and go "huntig" for an appartment when I arrive, no problem.
I cant seem to manage to find a decent place where to stay in the 10k to 20k Baht range (i ll be in Korat and pattaya half of the month, thats why I dont want anything more expensive)....weird....

Alta house on Soi 4 is fairly popular in that price range with folk I know. Rooms are good for the money, not fantastic but better than some I've seen for more money.
Decent location and compared to the HBTP, far better value all round.

ChesireCat,
When you say rooms are not fantastic, which room/s are you referring to?? I'm looking at Room Type B Studio (55sq m) & they look quite impressive from the display on their website.
One other question, are they guest friendly???
