UMA Residence

We traveled all around thailand and this place was the least friendliest. Room was spacious and clean. Easy walk to the river ferry system and plenty of food options

It was good

The price was great and the room served it's purpose- clean and efficient. People in other reviews complained the area was not fun- but it had some of the best and most authentic Thai food in Bangkok! Loved the area much.

This hotel was lovely and clean and calm, a very quiet hotel so perfect for relaxing, the rooms were very modern and the pool was a great addition as it gets very humid in Bangkok, I would definitely recommend

Walk outside to the main road and there you have so many street vendors We tried sooo many different Thai food that they don’t sell at the restaurant! The WiFi is very weak!

Feels like home

Did not like the area, there is too far from the city center, limited public transportation, and nothing to do in the neighborhood. Also staff were not very helpful, i asked four a couple of things from them, and they were very strict. The bed was very nice and comfortable.

Feels like home. We stayed a month so magic.

Great value! I’ve stayed here numerous times when I’m in Bangkok. Staff is friendly and helpful. Basic rooms but there’s an incredibly beautiful courtyard with a very nice pool and relaxation / socialization area. In addition to the pool, the courtyard has tall trees that provide shade. This is a hidden gem of a hotel that’s within walking distance to a pier where I catch the Chao Phraya Express Boat to all the major tourist attractions down river. Short taxi ride to a MRT station. I’ve learned how to use the mass transit train system so I can get to anywhere around Bangkok and the airport train. Lots of street food as well as restaurants serving decent Thai food. Breakfast buffet is ok nothing fancy. Again, rooms are basic, but I don’t expect a 5 star hotel for such a low price. It’s a budget hotel with a quiet beautiful atmosphere.

GREAT STAY! Literal oasis! Super clean and wonderful!

This is the third time I’ve stayed at UMA. My favorite thing about UMA is the friendly staff! The second best thing is the beautiful courtyard. There’s a beautiful pool with comfortable lounge chairs. The breakfast options are yummy. UMA is close to the Express Boat Ferry pier too.

Comfortable. Great breakfast.

My experience at UMA Residence was not the best. I booked a room on the strength of the photos, which were of a beautiful hotel, but the reality was completely different. The entrance to UMA was hidden along a narrow dirty alleyway. The reception was unwelcoming. The pool area was dark & full of mosquitoes. The room was small and un-maintained & featured several broken fittings, including the AC. Breakfast was paltry and resembled a prison canteen. Outside of the Hotel in the surrounding area was bleak! No bars or restaurants, just street vendors lit by dim 12 volt lamps. After one night of our planned ten was enough & we checked out. Neither Hotels. com nor UMA will refund our money.

The staff are all lovely. The hotel looks beautiful. But there were a lot of mosquitoes.by the chance I will come back thank you 🙏🇹🇭

Hotel was fine in a local neighborhood away from the usual touristy places. Hotel is clean and basic, nothing to really complain about but nothing stands out about it either. Breakfast is too basic and could be improved. There is a bar on site but it is no longer utilized, which is too bad. Pool is small but nice.

A very nice small hotel with a relaxed peacful Thai style atmosphere, well finnished comfortable rooms. All in all a happy and pleasant place to stay. And good value for money. Dusit is a nice area. Good street food, close to the river.

Hotel was clean. Would be good if staff knew more about options in the area e.g. massage

I liked the cleanliness, and pool area. I did not feel very welcome. The three young people at reception were friendly. The manager does not greet one. As I was the only foreigner at breakfast I felt very unwelcome. Its a residence with mostly Thai people. They are either shy or do not like foreigners in their space. If you are single perhaps give this one a miss.

Great staff and hospitality

Old town of Bangkok, true Thai culture

This place feels like oasis in the middle of busy Bangkok. I really liked that it has a very relax vibe to it. The rooms are quiet, and the AC is pretty strong, which was needed on those hot days. They also have great touches like nice lounge area by pool and free delicious hot chocolate. It is not close to main transportation line, but a scooter takes you in 15 mins to where you need to go.

Great hotel In Residential neighborhood Breakfast was lil different each morning

Good value, nice rooms, great staff, nice hotel overall.. Really great value for the money, got a 2 room family suite for about $60 a night on orbitz during peak tourist season. Only downside is kind of in a rundown neighborhood a few clicks from anything.. the small inconvience was well worth it to me.

nice room and good staff, we had two showers in the room 9f a family room, excellent value even with a broken but clean shower and dead batteries in remote control.

Lovely staff & nice experience.

This place is very inside not many restaurants , special someone traveling from india.if you traveling for siteseeing you need to spend more on taxis. Better to stay near to city. The rooms do not have dental kits, A/C is very slow, breakfast has very little option very tough for vegetarians.

near bts, comfortable for food, drinking. almost quite.

Couple of days at start of trip to chill. Very local rather than city. Local evening food is an adventure. Chicken noodle man was best at the end of block. Hotel is a real oasis. Great for riverboat down to main touristy bits without having to fight traffic. Lovely staff. Breakfast was good with a variety of Thai and western options. Tricky for taxis to find print out a clear big map for driver with clear street names. Very few tourists on local streets

Great value. This hotel has a bit of en exotic feel with its swimming pool and roofless atrium in between the two hotels 2 structures. Excellent for families.

Good

I like the outdoor area around the pool and sitting area

Excellent hotel tucked in a non-busy area of Bangkok. Clean and super comfortable bed. Hotel is very clean as well. The common lounge/pool area is excellent. Pool is very clean and chlorinated but shallow, good to cool down. 24-hour snacks and coffee are awesome. Suggest: providing pool towels, for air con to be able to stay on when not in room, as room is powered by keycard, and more options for breakfast. Local street food nearby but no hotel restaurant. Have stayed with family on two occasions and would highly recommend if you want to be away from the traveller district.

The reception staff were poor in english would put slightly higher demands than this, as there were a lot of foreigners in this hotel. Poolbar closed all time! The wifi lite slow, but common in Thailand.

It was a little out of the city and not right in bangkok so it was a little more quiet then i was expecting which was nice

It sets in a residential aria with street food abundant. Pools on the small side but still big enough to cool down. Office was helpful just watch out for the taxis. Make them use the meter the ride will be the fraction of the ride.

It was very nice and comfortable. The staff was very helpful and would go out of their way to help you

We enjoine the stay in the hotel. The staff was very helpfull. The rooms were cleaned every day. The bed sheets and all necessary things were looked after everyday. I liked the breakfast with choice of food. The best thing I liked was the free snacks and coffee 24 hours

Beds were very uncomfortable.

I enjoyed really enjoyed my 2 night stay. Room was cosy and clean. Very helpful on reception.

Staffs are quite unfriendly. Room was good. Too late to clean up room everyday (around 4-5 PM)

Nice hotel to stay and tiny pool, good breakfast,no bar,no spa,extension of 2 hour they never give

I really liked this hotel. Lovely room and grounds and very helpful staff.

Great place to stay for a couple of days. The beds are really firm (so if you like the plush mattress, you won't like the beds). Great location, easy walking distance to food shops and taxis right out front.

We stayed at UMA Residence for about five nights while visiting in Bangkok. We booked the Superior Queen Budget Room because it was the most affordable for the amount of days we were staying in Bangkok. The room was very clean & the AC was lovely! The only negative comment I would make about the room was the beds. The beds were very hard and difficult to sleep on. They were very stiff! We ended up having back issues the next morning because it wasn’t very comfortable to sleep on. This is the only negative comment I would make about this particular room. Apart from that, the staff was friendly and attentive. A breakfast buffet is offered every morning for around $6 US dollars. It was convenient since we were up early and needed breakfasr before we went somewhere that day.

Need to use bus or taxi to get to Victory Monument BTS train to get anywhere....this takes time in the traffic. The pool is only one metre deep, but can do breast-stroke. 5 level buildings with lift. My room 1314 was listed as city views but looked on to a building site with loud noise starting at 6am. The breakfast was poor. Staff were helpful and not a large crowded hotel.

Overall a nice hotel. mattress was too hard, though. We only stayed overnight so cannot really comment too much, but was satisfied with our stay. We had a family suite (2 bedrooms). Master bedroom was nice, however the 2nd bedroom only contained the bed (full-size/double). No nightstands and only 1 cheap floor lamp. Both rooms had a TV and its own bathroom. That was nice! The hotel required a 1000 baht cash deposit which they returned upon check-out (and after checking the room over for damages).

The facilities here are beautiful and the pool is shallow but great for a refresh. Rooms are clean and modern. Breakfast was expensive (200 nth) and with all the street vendors around, I would save 150 but and go out to street The front desk was not friendly, they were not mean but did not feel welcoming. The only person who spoke English well, seem annoyed. I was a solo and in Bangkok for the first time. jetlagged and over whelmed it would have been nice to feel like I was intruding. At first I thought it was me and felt very sad, lime I was doing something wrong, but when I left Bangkok, it was so nice. The general staff was were very nice. No lift. Price is good and rooms are clean and comfortable.

Pool area is great and staffs are friendly. Plus good snacks to munch on in the lobby area.

Interesting and tasty breakfast with daily variations, great for a month long stay.

Great hotel. A bit far from the airport (BKK) during rush hour. Not sure about the area as we were only staying at the hotel between flights.

I spent 2 weeks in Thailand and this was definitely the nicest of the lot! The layout was lovely, nice lounging area near the pool and free 24 hour snacks with fresh tea/coffee/water. Spacious and very modern but cosy. Loved the open plan feel to it. Rooms were very nice, comfy bed and amazing shower. Quiet as off road and staff were friendly and let us leave pour bags at the hotel on our last day we flew. Happy and would recommend. Only thing was the area didn't have loads of places to eat, but we managed to find a nice very cheap café up the road 39 Bart for a meal so we were happy. But if you like street food and eat meat (I don't) you'll be happy as loads of that in the area,

we like to stay in uma hotel,cause it was the best hotel,very clean and the staff were amazing. the snack bar is open 24 hours,they coffee ,tea ,waters and biscuits n crackers. so we can seat near the pool to enjoy it. around the hotel alot of food we can have. we are coming back to uma next time.so see you soon uma,you are the best

Nice and clean hotel but abit distance from city (shopping area and bts station). There are alot street food around hotel area. Visit to tourist area require taxi.

I was staying in this area to visit the National Archives of Thailand for research. I did not expect to find such a pearl in this neighborhood. Excellent hotel!

I stayed at this hotel for an extended period of over a month, and have thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The hotel is very well managed, comfortable and friendly staff. The buffet breakfast offers some new dishes everyday. It is a short walk from a riverboat station, but quite far from BTS or MRT stations. Taxi is needed to move around.

My stay at this hotel was nice and clean. The people in the office were very friendly and eager to help me in any way I need help. The breakfast food was really good to eat.

A Quiet & Tranquil Hotel in Bangkok. The architecture & landscape made you feel like you were in a resort someplace outside the city. Room was simple yet stylish, very clean & comfortable. It had complete amenities - toiletries, ref, closet, safe, hairdryer, TV & WIFI. Wifi was spotty & difficult to use at night, probably because of the influx of guests using at the same time. Pool was a refreshing part of the landscape & the sound of its waterfall can be heard around the hotel. They had a coin laundry mat area. Breakfast was delicious. Had both continental & Thai food. The Thai breakfast food we liked to try everyday. Continental was repetitive. Snack bar was very convenient. Wished they served lunch & dinner buffets as well. Street Food Stalls were available outside at the street. To get to places around Bangkok, it was best to get a taxi, UBER/Grab or take a walk to the MRT Station (about 15min walk from the Hotel). Staff could improve their english but otherwise very friendly, polite & accommodating, even the guards. Worth the price I paid for. I'll surely book this hotel again when I come back to Thailand.

My stay was comfortable and I had no issues. The hotel staff was very friendly.

I ended up at this hotel because of its location and the good rating. Spent a few nights at this place and everytime was a good stay. The room is spacious, clean, and tidy. The hotel common area is pleasant, feels like home with green and cozy garden, totally away from the chaotic street outside. Free coffee/water all day at the lobby is great too. We didn’t bother with breakfast as there are plenty of choices just a few metres outside. Will definitely stays here again.

Great place for a short stay. Would stay there again.

Assume very clean nice comfort out side of city

Good experience personal very helpful . I will be back

Good hotel for price nothing classy you get what you paid for.

Great facilities, but 10 minute drive to khao San, and 30 minutes to Siam/sukhumvit. not a good location if it's your first time there. Most taxis don't know the hotel name. It was a pleasant and quiet at the hotel. No where close by to eat, it's in a residential area.

Quiet, with a friendly staffs that gives you a homely feel. Wonderful dining options just along the streets outside the accommodation.

We really enjoyed iur stay. The service is great. Loved the coffee station. It was so nice to return to the clean, friendly and quite resort and sit by the pool and enjoy a coffee or hot chocolate. There is a real nice calming feel to Uma. It's easy to forget that you're in a very busy city when staying there compared to other places where the sound of traffic is almost none stop. We also found some excellent restaurants nearby.

Great hotel in the city. Super nice and quiet. Great price and location.

We had stayed here about 2 years ago after it had just opened and I am pleased to see the standard then and now are unchanged. They have the best beds i have sleep on in my extensive travels of Thailand and the coffee comes from a real coffee machine. Loved it.

Perfect place for family with kids. 1. Cleanliness of the hotel area & room 2. Nice breakfast & Nice ambience 3. Relaxing pool area & library, provide free flow of coffee, hot chocolate

Hotel was really good. The staffs are really helpful and nice. They help us in arranging taxi without any trouble. Good ambience also.

Baggage got sent on a separate flight to us, the staff were very helpful in contacting the airport for us and organising safe drop off. Convenient location, quick tuk tuk to Khaosan road. Clean hotel, air con unit was a bit noisy but you'd get over it.

The hotel is very nice from inside. We used it for one night as we came from Phuket and had to sleep one night to pick our next flight. The neighborhood is not that attractive and you won't believe that a hotel would exist in such a place behind the buildings. Staff were very nice and helpful. In short, for the price paid, it is an excellent hotel if you are on transit for one night.

Cabs in downtown city have no idea where this hotel is at many refused our service.

Excellent service

Everything is good, staff are helpful! Breakfast is ok, the swimming pool is a bit small yet chill!! Public facilities are fine, but the most important is they have a very good price!!overall very good!! For the problem if a bit far from city centre, Uber will solve!

On check-in I asked to upgrade to a bigger room as my room was a bit small, I was told I had to pay 5000 baht to upgrade, I showed the manager that the difference in price between the two rooms was only 700 baht, she then reduced her amount to 2500 baht, I pointed out that it was still a lot more than the advertised price. I paid the 2500 baht in the end to avoid a fight. not happy about being overcharged. breakfast was a big let down, very limited, cold scrambled eggs every morning, in fact everything that was meant to be warm was cold. pool is ok, however It is small and shallow. Room was nice, modern and clean. wifi was ok, weak at times though. Overall I would Say there are many hotels in Bangkok with better value, unfortunately I wont be back after my bad experience.

The hotel was lovely, but the location was not. Upon arrival multiple taxi drivers refused to drive us as it was too far from the centre - so we were stuck with our bags exhausted from a very long flight. It was a pain to travel in and out of the city. The hotel staff and the hotel however was great.

Wrongly advertised that this place has a lift. My bad knees will not come back to this place! Balconies will not unlock to the residents! I have to walk 5 levels of stairs with my painful knees!

Hotel is very nice the staff are really friendly and helpful. Location is not as close to kohsan Rd as I would like. There are lots of shops around but most of them are very small tiny restaurants with writing in Thai not a lot of English at the small food venues but the hotel is great.

great staff very clean room safe enviroment

The room was clean, but......the air conditioner was water dripping! The electrical kettle didn't know how to stop after reaching boiling point, I almost got my finger burnt while trying to shut it down. The staff at Reception was rude and surprised us. Check-out time was supposed to be at 12:00 noon. At 11:30 we received a phone call just dropped us two word "check out" and hung up. We were shocked about this service attitude in the friendly sky of Bangkok !!!

It's a boutique hotel outside Bangkok's city centre. A good place to retreat after a long day of activities; cozy ambience and cool interiors that were all pleasing to the eyes and most importantly provides comfort with ample space for relaxation. Bedding is comfortable; the hotel was gracious enough to give us a pool view room upon request. We didn't get to use the pool but it sure is a cute looking one. Breakfast is mediocre and very limited. Finding the hotel can be a challenge as taxi drivers were not that familiar with the place (even with the address and map provided) to make it easier just tell the driver to give the hotel a call for directions. Nevertheless, overall positive experience.

This hotel is so lovely, great facilities, the staff are very friendly and the hotel is very clean.

We stayed at UMA Residence for two nights while passing through Bangkok. The hotel is lovely and clean. It's got a nice atmosphere and good amenities. The neighbourhood is very authentic. You do need to take a taxi to get into the city centre but the hotel staff are very happy to call them for you (and it will usually be cheaper). When giving your address to a taxi, say the name of main street close to the hotel, not the name of the little alley the hotel is on as they will not know where it is.

Nothing so important service absolutely better than real 5*hotel but wifi need to have improvement,speed.

Hotel uma was such a lovely place to stay, the staff were really friendly and always greeted you with a smile on their face and would help as best they could with anything you asked, the location was superb being 10 minutes away from the city centre I never expected to find something this nice and this close it was. such a convenient place to stay. I have given the hotel 5/5 and they truly did deserve it i know I will be going back there if I return to Bangkok.

Nothing to say everything is great.only internet need faster and no need PW every time log in trouble some

Absolute hidden gem! Staff were so helpful. Room was perfectly sized. Pool and bar area were very presentable. Breakfast was quite basic but I suppose they have to cater for all nationalities!

service is nice. if i come to bangkok，i will choice this hotel again. movever，the traffic is conveniet

Amazing hotel, more than accomodating staff, beautiful setting near the heart of Bangkok for such a low price. We will definitely be returning next time we are in Bangkok!

Hotel liegt etwas außerhalb vom Zentrum aber er ist der perfekte Ort der chaotischen Stadt zu entfliehen. Pool ist bis 22 Uhr geöffnet.

There's great street food on Nakhon Chaisi trailer outside, it's a beautiful hotel, lovely staff, great brekky. We caught ferries everyday to see the Bangkok sights and came home to bliss! The one bed suites upstairs are lovely.

Hotel was great just a bit far out of town. However the "payap" ferry port is really close. Once you've worked out the ferris your laughing.

some staff always smile and are always trying to help, others never smile and seem not to want to be working there. So this can make a stay a bit unpleasant

Clean, and comfortable. Idyllic pool area with seats and lounging. Helpful and friendly staff. Pleasant atmosphere. Located off the main road, it's nice and quiet. It's close to the action but not in it. You will need to get cabs around. Room was simple but got everything right, the cost is really affordable. It's plain, as reflected in the great price. Staying here was a lovely experience, tucked just off the busy streets of bustling Bangkok.

Loved this hotel. Only drawback seemed to be location. However it's close to a river taxi stop that takes you toward Grand Palace. Plus the front desk will get a taxi for you in 3 minutes. Had so much fun relaxing by the pool here.

Very good hotel with clean rooms and helpful staff. The pool was fantastic too. The hotel booked a taxi for our 1 day trip to Damnoen Saduak - floating market and the Tiger Zoo. We highly recommend the Damnoen Saduak Tiger Zoo. The location of the hotel is not perfect as you have to use a taxi in the evening. However, a boat can be used during the day to get to the historical center.

We stayed here for just one night on our arrival in Bangkok. We didn't arrive at the hotel until 2.30 in the morning. I had emailed the hotel to let them know in advance and they sent a map in Thai which proved very useful as taxi driver didn't really know where the hotel was. The rooms were fine, clean and freshly decorated. Beds were a little hard, but we all slept well. Breakfast was adequate. For the price we paid it was very good.

I liked very much the interior design of the Hotel and the facilities they have as well. The room is confortable and clean with all the devices working perfectly: TV, A/C, hot water. We met also some interesting international guests and the hotel staff was friendly and helpful.
