Cheers, PFI. Certainly my favourite thing about this hotel is being able to walk to the BTS without getting sunburnt or wet! Great location for the skytrain!
The bunk beds spoiling the view & the Fred Flintstone hardness kings size bed are off putting for me. Especially at that price point I would expect better. Thoughtful customer service is always appreciated & it didn't seem that you received any. The breakfast looked fantastic & the location next to the BTS is a plus. I still think there are much better places to stay in BKK at that price. Thanks for the review BC, they do really help give us insight. 👍
Thanks, Phil. I certainly didn't want or need a room with bunk beds in the window! I think they should have mentioned the fact that they were giving me a family room when I checked in. The staff were generally ok, but I got the impression as it is a big hotel, they aren't really looking out for individual customers. In reception it was very busy, but I would have expected them to notice I was walking with crutches and offered assistance. I really rated the location and the choices at breakfast. Overall, I tend to agree, at those high season prices, there's likely to be better value found elsewhere!
Thanks. I agree completely. And note just at this hotel. It's certainly still high season prices. Hopefully there will be better value to be had after Chinese New Year has finished!
Another great review. Pro tip: you can transform any non-smart TV by inserting a Firestick into one of the hdmi ports at the rear or side. If you have the IPTV app on your firestick you can watch international TV including UK etc. No need to miss out on all the drama in Emmerdale ;-)
Many thanks for your positive feedback! And also for the top tip about using a Firestick. I know a few people who bring them on their travels to Thailand. I'm sure it's Emmerdale they're watching, because watching Premier League football would probably not be 100% legal (and all my friends are law abiding citizens!)
Seems quite expensive for what it is. The good thing about Bangkok is that it has so many top notch accommodation choices at reasonable prices all over the city. I love a room with a view and an infinity pool with a view is always a nice feature as well and Bangkok has loads of those. Cheers on the review.
Thanks, David. I should say that I went during Chinese New Year and it was certainly high season prices and busy. But I don't disagree with your comment really. So many other places that might be cheaper. Always worth shopping around! Thanks for your comment 👍
I liked the view from the room and the decor was also nice. Not so fond of the open wardrobe or the fact that they charge gogo bar prices for a bottle of beer. Glad you did not use the pool. That kid probably peed in it. They mostly do you know. I do like hotels like this that are integrated into a mall (and in this case the skytrain too). Hilton Pattaya is always my favorite there simply due to locational attraction, the mall access and the fact that you get a better class of deviant there.
Thanks, David. Yes, I'd say the main attraction is the close proximity to the BTS Skytrain station via the shopping centre. That shopping centre has loads of food outlets and coffee shops so it appeals to me. It also has a really good cinema on the top floor. I used to live in On Nut so I know the area well. It's far enough away from worst of the hustle and bustle, but still close to everything if you need it!
Nothing scream 5☆ hotel like bunk beds in the middle of the room🙂. Seriously, good review, interesting to know whats out there.. Sidebar, your dinner looked very good👍.
Thanks, Anders! I did think I'd somehow walked into the wrong room when I saw the bunk beds. Although equally I was tempted to sleep in one of them just for the fun of it! The food was good throughout the stay to be honest. Dinner was meant to be a bar snack, but it certainly did the trick. Cheers, for the positive feedback and support!
The staff had probably heard you talking about leaving your foot cast on, and using the crutches after you had healed, looking for sympathy assistance!...With your early night I guess you didn't need "that". I couldn't make out what that thing was that you vandalized. I hope you got away with it! ..Fun video as usual.
Thanks, Mark. It seems my reputation as a blagger went before me! The switch in the bathroom was actually the control for making the shower blind go up and down. I thought it was the cover for another socket! No harm done, except to my pride! Pushing the camera record button seems to bring out the 'extra stupid' in me! 😃 😃
Now be honest BC you booked the family room on purpose to use the bunk bed 🛌😂😂😂 the hotel is idea for getting about town . Iv used the mall there and the cinema is handy . Great breakfast the egg 🍳 station done it for me !!!!! It’s Sunday so double bubble for me and I cracked up when you said about getting lucky 😂😂😂. Great review BC The city view at nite was stunning . Safe trip back to Pattaya
Don't get lucky BC, it's us your talking to. Any brown sauce with breakfast. I do like alot of room knickables. Last time I was in Bangkok they were just building the skytrain. Great job BC
Cheers, BB. I think they saw me coming in as the sad single and gave me the party room just to rub it in! Extensive breakfast for sure, but brown sauce, dunno about that one. 5 star really they should pop out to the 7 eleven and buy it if it's not readily available! I can't imagine Bangkok before the BTS. I used to use it every day. Wouldn't survive without it! 👍
Despite any rumours to the contrary, there was no bunk up with Mr Egg 555! It's a bit cheaper outside of high season. Bit unfortunate that I chose Chinese new year to try it out. Couldn't believe how busy breakfast was at 6.30am! But, agreed, it's never going to be cheap and I'm.sure people will have their own favourites for less! Thanks, Toby!
@tobyprice1092 I've never really understood what gets hotels a 5 star rating in Thailand tbh. Yes, they've got all the facilities. And the breakfast was well above average, in my opinion. But overall, was it any better than the 4 star hotel I reviewed last week? For me, I'd say not. And the staff were more attentive in last week's hotel also. So if I was handing out the ratings I'd say 4 star!
Always great detailed info. I love that it is part of a train station.

The prices are too high right now.

BC cleary said it was for a family.
@PREPFORIT Find me another 5☆hotel with Bunk Beds🙂. Cheers mate👍
I heard this hotel has unsavory folks hanging round the swimming pool doing livestreams and annoying guests.
It's not the only place they've been caught hanging around. I'm reliably informed 🤫
The staff had probably heard you talking about leaving your foot cast on, and using the crutches after you had healed, looking for sympathy assistance!...With your early night I guess you didn't need "that".

Living high on the hog BC
Thanks, Keith. Anything more than the 27th floor and I get vertigo!
Did you or Mr Egg have the top bunk...lol. Looks nice but Peng mak

@@balloonchaser That breakfast looked really nice. As you said very busy and CN NY. Great review. 5*??
