House of Machine Boutique Hotel

The House of Machine Boutique Hotel is very close to the attractions, about an 8-minute walk to the Grand Palace, which makes getting around very convenient. The hotel is very new with an industrial-style decor, and the rooms are quite spacious and very clean. The service was excellent. We arrived at the hotel in the early morning, and the staff helped us carry our luggage upstairs. I also saw them help us carry our luggage downstairs when we checked out. Storing luggage was also not an issue at all.

The location is incredibly good, with all major important squares and temples within walking distance. The subway is also easily accessible. The facilities are very nice. There's a 7-Eleven and many dining options right nearby.

I was very satisfied overall. The front desk staff was very patient and even upgraded me to a room with a large bar counter when he heard I was meeting up with friends. His English listening skills were excellent, haha. He understood what I was trying to say even before I finished my sentence. We had to take off our shoes at the stairwell, and everyone walked barefoot to the guest room areas, which felt very clean. The bedding quality in the room was also good. In the morning, I even saw a white squirrel on the terrace when I opened the door. It's also very convenient to walk to nearby attractions from the hotel, no need for a taxi at all – a rare chance to city walk. The overall design is meticulous and thoughtful, with an industrial mechanical style. It's definitely a hotel I'd happily recommend!

The hotel's theme is very distinctive and out of the ordinary. The front desk staff, especially one gentleman, was incredibly enthusiastic, offering drinks, carrying our luggage upstairs, and helping us take photos. The room was very spacious, truly an oasis in the old town. It's also very close to the Grand Palace. The only drawback is the terrible soundproofing. At night, you could hear the air conditioner dripping, motorbikes on the street, and homeless people talking – a constant cacophony. For me, cleanliness and quietness are paramount when choosing a hotel. The cleanliness here was fine, but the soundproofing was so poor I simply couldn't sleep. We booked for two nights but only endured one before my family and I had to leave.
