Mini bar and cafe

IMG_0527(14) copy

There were two bottles of water, electric kettle, glasses, cups, spoons, instant coffee, tea bags and sugar prepared. There were also snacks and chocolate. You can get two bottles of water per day. However, since the water in Bangkok is not clean, it may be better to purchase extra water on your own for brushing your teeth.

IMG_0527(10) copy

There was also beer and juice in the fridge. However, they are a little overpriced, so it is best to buy drinks at the convenience store.

Facilities in the hotel

IMG_0527 (20) copy

There was an outdoor pool on the fourth floor where children were playing happily. It is not a big hotel because it is in the city, but the pool was big enough for adults to swim in as well. It was clean and well maintained. The pool was surrounded by the building, and the outside scenery was hidden by plants, so it was a private space.

IMG_0527 (19) copy

It was very hot during the day, so many people were laying under the parasols. You can order drinks at the restaurant and ask the staff to bring it out to the pool for you.

Hotel Surroundings

There were many young people and foreigners on the streets. Chulalongkorn University is nearby, so there seemed to be many students going to this school. It was a shopping area, so the roads were not too crowded, but there were many tuk-tuks running while honking their horns.

Staff and Guests

The staff were friendly and pleasant to interact with. Their English was also very fluent. As for the guests, I saw many Indians, Europeans, Americans and Asians staying. There were many families, but also elderly couples and young people staying as a group.

Access

Take the Airport Rail Link from Suvarnabhumi International Airport, transfer to BTS at Phaya Thai Station and get off at Siam Station. It usually takes about less than an hour to the hotel. It is about a 5 minute walk from the station. You can also go through the shopping center to get to the hotel.

IMG_0527 (27) copy

The hotel was right near BTS Siam Station which was very convenient. However, you will need to walk outside instead of indoors. The station is very crowded, so it may take some time to get out. There were also many shopping malls within walking distance such as Siam Baragon, Central World and MBK.

Summary

I was looking for a hotel with easy transportation, but it was my first time in Bangkok and I had trouble figuring out how to transfer trains. I couldn’t sit down in the train when it was crowded, so I had trouble moving around with my luggage. I think that it is more convenient to take a taxi even though it may take longer than the train. On the other hand, when it comes to shopping and dining, the hotel was in a perfect location. It also seemed like a safe neighborhood. There were many students, probably because there was a university nearby, and it was a city with a creative and bright atmosphere. I enjoyed the liveliness of Bangkok.
