Vali Villa Bangkok is a hotel on a quiet alley, an 8- to 10-minute walk from Khao San Road. Breakfast is not a buffet: you order the menu you want and it is brought to you, croffles included. Wooden furniture, a courtyard with many trees, and clean rooms define the property. Soundproofing is weak, so noise from the alley and nearby hostels and bars is audible through the night.
