I travelled to Thailand for a 4D4N stay to go sightseeing and shopping. I considered this trip a budget trip so I decided to book a room which is comfortably located near my areas of interests but also friendly on the pocket.
Bangkok City Hotel came in the list and it is just what I am looking for. It is near the shopping center, a few minutes walk to the Ratchathewi skytrain station and is also just a taxi away from the tourist areas.
I arrived past midnight and the reception immediately entertained me. Payment needs to be settled during check-in and a 100 Baht deposit is required which will be returned upon check-out.
The amenities of the hotel are currently in top notch condition since it is quite new. The corridors are clean though not air-conditioned but are well lit. Three elevators are servicing the entire building, one of which is for staff use and the rest are for the guests.
Buffet breakfast is already included in the room rate and is pretty decent, good for those guests staying for about 3 nights. For those staying much longer might get uninterested since the food being served are limited and almost the same everyday with some little changes in the menu.
The room is quite big. Only the essential things are present such as the bed, safety deposit box, dresser, personal refrigerator, electric kettle, television and two complimentary bottled water provided daily. The room airconditioner is working well and it must work well as the temperature outside is quite hot. There is a WiFi connection available but it is a bit slow.
The bathroom is modern and remarkably clean. It has a bathtub which also acts as the shower basin. Fresh towels are provided as well as shampoo, conditioner, and soap but no toothbrush, toothpaste and shaver. Blow dryer is present.
I had a pleasant stay in this hotel, though, I have some gripes about the service of the staffs due to language miscommunication, the value for money beats it up and I would consider staying again when I get back to Bangkok.
