What is the Vista Plus Room like?

IMG_0521(4) copy

I chose a non-smoking room.

IMG_0521(9) copy

The room was spacious with a big sofa by the window. There was an iron in the closet, so I was able to iron my wrinkled shirt.

IMG_0521(2) copy

The bed was not as comfortable as I expected it to be. The mattress was too soft and the pillow was too high in my opinion.

IMG_0521(5) copy

There was also a bedroom with a two twin size beds.

IMG_0521 copy

TV across the bed.

I could see a temple nearby. You can see the big buildings under construction and get a glimpse of the booming economy in Thailand. There are no tall buildings around the hotel, so I could enjoy the view with nothing blocking my way.

IMG_0521 (2) copy

From rooms on the other side you can see the Mahanakor Building, which is the highest building in Bangkok. This time I did not specify the direction of the room, but I will request a room with a view of the Mahanakon Building the next time I stay.

Bathroom

IMG_0521(1) copy

The water pressure for the shower was strong enough and the temperature was easy to adjust.

There was also a bathtub, so I was able to relax inside.

IMG_0521(3) copy

There was a scale which was useful for weighing my bag.

IMG_0521(6) copy

You can flush the toilet paper down the toilet which is unusual in Thailand.

There were shampoo, conditioner, body soap, body cream, hand soap, razor, toothbrush and a shower cap. The shampoo brand was Marine and Gotz from New York.

Outdoor Pool

IMG_0521 (7) copy

The hotel is located on the 6th floor, surrounded by buildings. There are chairs with parasols, but the space covered with mats seemed the most popular.

IMG_0521 (8) copy

There is a bar by the pool. They will charge the bill to your room, so you don’t need to pay on the spot.

IMG_0521 (5) copy

You can see the Mahanakong Building from the pool.

IMG_0521 (6) copy

The pool is open until 10pm and the night view surrounding the pool is beautiful. It is warm even at night, so you can swim and relax by the pool without having to worry about getting cold. I was told that the pool is crowded in the evening, but it settled down after 8pm.

Hotel Surroundings

There is a convenience store and a night market across the street. There is a 24-hour supermarket at the night market with a food court which is convenient for when you get hungry lat at night. There is also a bank next to the convenience store, so you can use the ATM with a currency exchange and international cash card. There are many shops that are open until midnight, so there were many people walking on the streets.

Staff and Guests

There were not only Thai staff but also Western staff. They were all very friendly with a nice smile. There were no large groups of guests staying. I saw some people staying on business trips.

Access

The hotel is located in a downtown area called Silom, so I was able to get to the airport easily. Since the hotel is opposite the Patpong night market, saying the name”Silom Patpong” is easy for the taxi drivers to figure out your destination. The road in front of the hotel was always busy, but I was glad that I was able to go to the subway station easily from the back road and not get caught in traffic.

Summary

I had a very nice to stay at this hotel. The staff were very attentive and always there to help me. There was a convenience store, bank, and a 24-hour supermarket right by the hotel which was very convenient. Also, the famous Thai restaurants “Coca Restaurant” and “Somboon Seafood” listed in guidebooks were within walking distance and I was able to enjoy some delicious Thai food. It is usually hard to get around the city by taxi, but everything was within walking distance from the hotel which saved me a lot of time.
