The easy link to the Bangkok Skytrain system and its low rates are two good reasons to pick the Asia Hotel Bangkok Hotels for your stay in the Thai capital. This 650-room property offers comfort and great value in both its rooms and its four restaurants. Those wishing to switch from the buzz of Bangkok to the glitz of Pattaya can utilize the three-times a day bus service that link this hotel with its sister hotel The Asia Hotel Pattaya. The hotel is a little dated but for many clients that is one of the attractions.
Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?
Yes, ideal if you are on a budget and are happy traveling around the city on the Skytrain. No, you won’t get the great service that many top Bangkok hotels offer – you are not paying for it. Don’t be put off by the hotel website. Several clients have complained that ordering a car from the hotel is a lot more expensive than walking down the street and getting a metered taxi. Make sure it is a metered taxi and the driver switches it on. This avoids an argument at your destination. Read our customer reviews?
