Advantages: Good prices, good rooms, pool on the roof.

Disadvantages: Not good for people who don't like the backpacker scene.

The D & D inn is a guesthouse in the Khao San Road in Bangkok.

The D & D is geared towards backpackers and flashpackers, and offers pretty good value rooms for THB 550 and upwards, although some of the rooms don't have windows.

One of the features is the swimming pool in the roof, which gives good views of the Khao San Road.

Their webiste and online booking system isn't the best, although I have heard things are getting better, people were making bookings and not getting their room because they had given it to another customer. I didn't have this problem, I walked right in and asked for a room.

They offer traditional backpacker rooms, and superior rooms with tv, hot water e.t.c...

The location is great for Khao San - right in the middle of all the action.

if you are unable to get a room at the D & D, I suggest Rikka Inn, which is more or less across the road, it is new, clean and fairly cheap, half the price of Buddy Lodge which has more or less the same features.

All in all, if you're a backpacker out for the backpacker experience, go for it, if you like boutique style hotels, this isn't for you at all.

Summary: If you're a young-hearted backpacker, give it a go.
