Holiday Inn Express Hotels in Bangkok

Hotel pros: Lovely entry. Restaurant access. There is a travel agent next to the hotel. Also there is a Lawson and 7 eleven close by to get your snacks or everyday needs. Beds are made daily. Staff members are respectful. Clean hallways. Hotel cons: Room is dated (old). No plug next to the bed. Plug in the bathroom can only use for shavers. In the entire room, you can only charge your electronics at one point in the room. It was quite annoying. I stayed for 6 nights and it was driving me crazy. If you will stay for longer and don’t mind, great. If not buy an extension cord. Rooms were a bit dusty. But not overly dirty. Walls could be painted. The shower in the bathroom has a tub and you have to be careful not to fall when getting in and out. Restaurant meals were the same everyday. So boring.

I had an extremely bad experience with this hotel. The phone wasn't working in my room due to which I could not book on time for second night. Then I booked second room (it was expensive but I was sick and didn't want to move) there was some weird noises coming from the water tap, I called the service but no help, once I called for hair dryer and they didn't even send me, second time they sent me after an hour lol. I will not recommend this hotel to anyone because the service is extremely poor.

Overall a decent stay. Great view from our room, good selection of food for breakfast and good service. Some negatives were that our bathroom sink didn't drain water well, and there were times the hot water in the shower wasn't very hot at all. Aircon in the room is also unable to be turned off.

Hotel location is ideal where there are many amenities nearby. Entire security seems safe to us. Rooms were clean and spacious. We had no problem with the operation of the lift. Breakfast was average but delicious. Recommend this hotel to those who like strolling along night market.

Positive things: Great room views. Hotel is clean. The variety and quality of toilet ametities are very good. Negative things: Awful staff attitude. I inserted in the reservation, made sure to the lady at the check-in, that I would like a quiet room. However, I was put into a room next to the elevator, and that elevator there is VERY NOISY. Everytime the elevarot worked up or down, I could hear it working in side my room. I inquired the reception, informing my room number, to be told immediately the hotel was fully booked, I did insisted that the noise was not pleasant at all. The answer given, in a very rude tone, was that I should try to change for the other night. I then told them that I am staying for one night only. To no avail or change of attitude. After much insistence and even the interference of a local friend who works for the brand, I was changed to another room. In this oher room, to my surprise, there was CONTINUOUS LOUD NOISE FROM RENOVATIONS. Note that it was already 21h00 (9pm). I was even told that in this brand the have a ”golden rule” of not making noise after 17h (5pm). Which again, more unpleasant exchanges with reception with another interference of my friend (who was also shocked) almost one hour after I was ”upgraded” the room. At this new room, which by my view wasn't that different from my original ones, it was finally quiet. Seems that was a room rarely used and with various stains in carpet and bed sheets. However with the stress that I went by, really didn't cover it. It was now five hours of annoying unnecessary stresses with the hotel staff. It is not really a cheap hotel and it has an image of a prestigious brand. The staff attitude was less than acceptable throughout the whole experience. Fortunately I was lucky for my friend to intervene in my favour. Glad that I had to stay only one night. At check-out, I was faced with even unprepared individual who did not know how to use a card machine. I know it's a Hilton, but I can say it was one, if not the most irksome experiences that I have ever dealt with.
