INNSIDE Hotels in Bangkok

Great hotel with thoughtful details – just be mindful of location for tours I stayed here for a short trip and was genuinely impressed. The hotel is clean, well-appointed, and had all the right amenities for a comfortable stay. Staff were warm and attentive, and I appreciated the little touches – like daily stocked complimentary water and juice, and block-out blinds that actually worked. The breakfast buffet was a standout – a wide, fresh selection and bonus points for the unexpected but very welcome addition of celery juice. I also dined at the rooftop Spanish restaurant and highly recommend it. The grilled octopus Gilda and garlic prawns with toasted sourdough were absolute highlights – fresh, punchy and well-executed. Yum. A couple of things to consider: I stayed in a corner room away from the lifts, but facing the main entrance and freeway. Despite the double glazing, some traffic noise filtered through and did affect my sleep. Also, while the hotel’s location is convenient in many ways, it’s just outside the standard “pickup zone” for many tour operators. I had to take a separate taxi (at my own cost) to a central meeting point. Factor in an extra 30 minutes for this if you’re planning excursions. All in all, a great stay – just plan ahead if you’re doing tours, and maybe request a room facing away from the road.
