Room With an Anti-View: Don't Choose First House Hotel First in Bangkok
You know the scene. You open the door to your brand new hotel room, run over to the window, open the blinds and bam, you are hit with the anti-view. Maybe you are looking down a dirty alley, witnessing a drug deal, staring at an air shaft in the face, or seeing a brick wall. Whatever you are viewing it is not extremely pleasurable. Help out your fellow hotel mavens by uploading your anti-views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number with the not-so-easy-on-the-eyes view.
This picture at the First House Hotel in Bangkok is not the worst anti-view we've ever seen. Sure, the walls are a bit grubby and the roof looks a bit unsteady, but there's a tree and something like a temple in the distance. But the caption that comes with the photo helps add it to our anti-view catalog:
When we found that there was a huge dent in the mattress there and that the bathroom smelled very bad, we moved.
Apart from the smelly bathroom and dented mattress found in at least one room, the First House Hotel actually features air-conditioning and cable TV in every room, with the air-con being a definite must have in steamy Bangkok. For a standard room for two you pay 1700 Baht (just US$54) for the privilege; dented mattresses and less-than-beautiful views all included.
