Affordable luxury equals solid sleep

All 30 rooms are designed, decorated and furnished in different themes.

Okay, so the Snake Farm is right across the road, but you still get a great night's sleep at the Take A Nap hostel, one of the posh fivestar accommodations along Silom and Ratchadamri.

The key to a good rest is in knowing that you've made a fabulous deal. Take A Nap only charges Bt1,000 to Bt2,000 per night, and you're close to all the downtown action and fun.

Right on the corner of Surawongse and Rama 4, the familyrun inn is near the Skytrain's Sala Daeng station and the subway's Silom stop.

You've got the shopping on Silom Road, the business connections on Wittayu and Rama 4 and the entertainment on Siam Square and Sukhumvit.

The hostel is right on the busy road, but it's quiet inside.

All 30 rooms are designed, decorated and furnished in different themes, with varying colours and moods. There are some terrific murals.

En suite facilities include airconditioning, a tea and coffee maker, an electronic safe and a TV, though there's no fridge or closet.

The room sizes range from 15 square metres in singles to 22 in the fourbed private rooms.

You can also book a mixed dorm room for Bt350 per bed.

The privateroom rates include a setmenu breakfast.
