Scenic Hotels in Bangkok

"Baiyoke Sky, Bangkok – Luxury View or Old Hotel? I perfectly understood what I was getting into beforehand. Baiyoke Sky is far from a new hotel, and you certainly shouldn't expect modern interiors and perfect comfort here. But I was curious to stay specifically here – primarily for the view of Bangkok and the atmosphere itself. 🌆 Atmosphere This is where the hotel truly has something to surprise you. I think Bangkok is incomparable to other cities. It has its own inexplicable atmosphere – a bit heavy, humid, chaotic, but at the same time very captivating. And Baiyoke Sky only enhances this atmosphere. We also happened to be here during a period of heavy rain. It rained almost continuously for two days, the city was gray, partially flooded, and you could watch all of this from a great height through the window. And, strangely enough, this is precisely what made the experience even more vivid. 🏙️ View If you're choosing Baiyoke Sky for the panoramic view of Bangkok – this is truly a case where the view becomes part of the stay. Especially in the evening and at night. Plus, there are high-altitude restaurants right in the hotel: Crystal Grill – 82nd floor Seafood and grill buffet. Jee Ho — 83rd floor Bar with cocktails and city views. And at the very top is the famous observation deck, from which Bangkok literally lies before you. 🍜 Infrastructure Another big plus is the location and the fact that almost everything you need is nearby. You can combine your stay, dinner, cocktails, and the observation deck without practically leaving the building. For a first introduction to Bangkok, this is quite convenient. 🛏️ And now for the cons And here I will be as honest as possible. If you have extensive experience staying in good hotels in China, Baiyoke Sky might disappoint you a little. After Chinese hotels, I've become very spoiled in terms of value for money. China is certainly ahead of the curve here ☺️ Especially when it comes to small things like hair dryers. Girls will understand. And it's not just about the hair dryer. Pillows, mattress, soundproofing, room condition, a sense of freshness and cleanliness – all of this is no longer on the level of a modern hotel here. So, if your main priority is to get a perfect night's sleep in ideal silence on a comfortable bed and have a modern room, I wouldn't choose Baiyoke Sky. ❤️ My Verdict For me, Baiyoke Sky is not so much “a hotel for the sake of a hotel.” It's more a part of the Bangkok experience. Yes – if you want to see the city from above, feel its atmosphere, stay in an iconic place, and get a stunning view. No – if your main criteria are a modern room, perfect silence, a comfortable mattress, good pillows, and impeccable cleanliness. I came here specifically for the atmosphere and the view – and in that regard, Baiyoke Sky delivered."

"We stayed 1 night on our way to chiang mai. Has a shuttle from the airport and to the airport (it was as full when we came to leave so book or ask in advance) Right next to Robinson lifestyle where they have lots of animals in the centre fish 🐠 pharmacies cafes restaurants etc room clean aircon good it’s very convenient missed breakfast as it’s only on to one and got it at 4am so can’t comment on the breakfast but all in all it was good I’d stay again"

"Upon check-in, the staff were flexible, kind, and warm. The room was spacious enough for two people. Breakfast buffet was affordable at 200B, offered a wide variety of delicious dishes. The showerhead was fixed to the wall and couldn't be moved. It was convenient that Japanese plugs could be used directly, eliminating the need for a voltage converter."

"The hotel's location is super convenient, and the environment and service are excellent. The room is spacious and clean. There are two 7-Eleven stores nearby, and the popular Factory coffee shop is just a few hundred meters across the street. Taxis are also readily available in the area. If I visit Bangkok again, I will definitely book this hotel."

"I only booked for one night. I checked in around 7 or 8 PM, and the front desk told me I had to check out by 11 AM. I couldn't understand why and kept asking, but they insisted on 11 AM. The next day, when I checked out at 11 AM, the computer screen clearly showed 'checkout 12 PM'. I was really angry. I booked this room for the infinity pool, but I didn't even get to take any photos there, which was a loss. It's also far from the subway. I would have been better off staying somewhere closer to the subway. It was very noisy at night; I could hear the motorcycles from downstairs. It was even noisier than the hotel I stayed at in Patong."
