Jumpunta Gardenview Resort

We arrived in Bangkok around 8.30pm with the plan to freestyle the first half of our trip. I jumped on Airbnb and read the reviews which were good. I was particularly attracted to this because of the accommodation being so close to the airport. We messaged the host who responded within 5 minutes. Super helpful when you're looking for accommodation late at night for that same night. After chatting we booked in... Then booked a taxi... Turns out it was 10 mins from the Suvarnabhumi Airport not the Don Mueng airport which we flew into. The taxi drive was meant to be 40 mins but due to the location being so hard to find on the GPS, a few wrong turns later meant we arrived an hour and a half to 2 hours later. We arrived and the host met us even during the late hours. Their reception is open 24 hours. Which is not the case everywhere else so this is awesome. We got into our room and the aircon was blasting so it was a beautifully cool room in contrast to the humidity outside. The bed was 2 king single beds pushed together, it was a firm bed but my husband and I both found it very comfortable! The room has: an attached ensuite/bathroom. Towels, linen, blankets. Mini fridge with water. Mirror, lights and aircon. The next morning we went to breakfast on site. This part was a little confusing as it said it would be boiled rice for breakfast. That description didn't give us much to go by. What we given was a fried rice dish (rice, onion, carrot, egg) served with lettuce, two slices of tomatoes and a fried egg. It was really yum! There was also a selection of hot drinks, toast and jam, as well as ice cold water. Would anyone We went back to our room and there outside has a small porch/deck with a built in bench as well as a small table. It didn't look very sturdy but it held both me and my husband well. The view if you look down the pond is nice, but if you take in the full view it's not as good. The photos on Airbnb obviously show you what they want you to see and in reality it was opposite a Big shipping container yard. Which makes it not really feel like a resort. In addition to this there was quite a lot of rubbish all over the resort. Which continued to detract from the experience. We still enjoyed this place overall but there is a lot of work to be done but there is also so much promise and potential in the place. Even just picking up all the rubbish alone would significantly transform the place. The hosts were kind and also very fast with communication. I would stay here again but it wouldn't be my first choice. But I would stay again. Hopefully if they do it up a little or even clean the rubbish they can really make this into a beautiful resort. Ooo Side note, we walked to the end of the road to the 7eleven and got some real Thailand truck food. That was a cool experience. So I'd highly recommend that. Overall we enjoyed our stay. We had a good attitude and love to appreciate life and its just better when you take the positive out of each situation. Xo Hope this review helps you if you're looking to stay.

We booked this hotel for a little rest before heading back to the states as we had an extra two days in Bangkok. We selected it because it looked quite, nice and had quick access to the airport. It's by far the worst place I have ever stayed around the world. It's not a resort its someones home with 8 little shacks on it. The view out of the shacks is onto an industrial park, the area is terrible and it took longer to get to the airport than being downtown, due to the terrible location. The breakfast so so bad not a single member of our group could touch it. It came covered in plastic, no milk, juice or coffee. Our hut had a hole in the roof and the bed was wet. The sink was backed up the whole time we were there. We needed an extra bed in one hut and they gave us a mat for the floor. The water was cold and pressure so low it was easier to fill the bucket and pour it over your head. The smell from the water in the front (sewage) was horrible and the place was a mosquito nest. The manager was absolutely horrible, we started to complain the second we got there ( it's not too much to ask for a dry bed and something other than a mat on the floor). She said she would contact the owner and get back to us. The solution the owner came up with was to put us in another room and charge us for it. Yes!! Charge us to change rooms due to a leak in the roof. Please please save yourself the pain and frustration of staying here.

If you see my profile, you'll see I've been to numerous chains here there and everywhere. This place, they care, it's their's and though I was there for perhaps 3 hours, for the price they charge it's great. Rooms are arranged around a pond, so beautiful. Service was wonderful, clearly a family business, happy that customers are there. Rooms are all decorated almost as large saunas, but they have the requisite A/C and TV.
