Violet Tower at Khaosan Palace

This hotel is right in the middle of Khao San Road, so expect a lot of noise at night from all the bars—it’s almost impossible to get any sleep. During the day, the night market is empty, and the streets are lined with people sleeping on the sidewalk, which can be quite unsettling. Some rooms are in poor condition, so make sure you get a good one. If you have a lot of carry-on luggage, aim for a room on the first floor since there’s no elevator. I had to switch rooms because the AC in my first one was leaking water onto the bed, which was incredibly frustrating.

Nice place, location night market nearly

Great location for whom searching for night life fun. It’s noisy till 4am because hotel is center of the bar and lounges. There was no electric kettle in hotel room. Price is affordable.

The hotel is located at the heart of the Khao San night market, which means you have no chance to sleep until 3am when noises start to reduce (need to wait until 4am for complete silence). I used an app to measure the peak sound level inside my room at 2am. The result was 91db! You can even feel the vibration caused by the super loudspeakers of the bars around. Fairly speaking this problem is not unique to this hotel. If you are not a party animal and want to sleep near Khao San, choose a hotel at least 2 blocks away from Khao San Road.

You step out right into the action—street food, bars, music, and shops are all just a few meters away. However, it’s worth noting that the noise from Khaosan Road can carry into the rooms, especially at night. **Rooms:** The rooms are modern, clean, and compact. They’re not huge, but they’re well-equipped with essentials like air conditioning, a safe, mini-fridge, and a comfortable bed. The decor feels fresh and slightly more upscale than you'd expect for this price range. I appreciated the daily housekeeping service. **Facilities:** As part of the Khaosan Palace complex, guests at Violet Tower can use the rooftop pool—which offers a refreshing escape from the Bangkok heat and some nice views of the city. The lobby area is shared with the main hotel and has a 24-hour front desk. **Service:** The staff were helpful and professional. Check-in was smooth, and they kindly stored my luggage after checkout. **Value for Money:** Violet Tower offers good value for money if you're looking to stay near Khaosan Road. It’s ideal for solo travelers, couples, or friends wanting to explore Bangkok’s tourist core on a budget without sacrificing cleanliness or comfort. **Final Thoughts:** If you're a light sleeper or seeking a quiet, peaceful stay, this may not be your best pick due to the nightlife noise. But if you're visiting Bangkok to explore and party, **Violet Tower at Khaosan Palace** is a great base. ⭐ **Rating: 4 out of 5**

Great location, nice and clean room and the price of the room is good. The noise is quite unbearable tho, wanted to have a quick powernap in the evening but couldn't get any rest. The music starts begin of the evening and doesn't stop until late in the morning (6am), didn't sleep until then.
