IR-ON Hotel in Bangkok

Spent four nights at Ir-On. There is nothing totally horrible about it, but I think you can get a better place for your money.

The rooms are designed to look very nice in photos, but are not practical for travelers. The bathroom and shower doors are semi-transparent frosted glass and do not go up all the way, so they are not private. You will hear everyone pooping. The "balcony" is where the AC unit exhaust comes out, making it unpleasant to sit on if you'd like to keep the AC on. The electrical outlets by the bed are badly designed. The sink has no hot water hookup. Rolling luggage is difficult to maneuver because there are many small stairs and the flooring has uneven tile. Good for Instagram, but far less comfortable than cheaper places in the area. There is motorbike noise, like anywhere else in Bangkok, so pack ear plugs if you are sensitive.

The hotel rations you to two water bottles per day, per room, and will charge you for more money. If you are staying for a while, you should bring your own water. For a "luxury" hotel, I would expect at least a water filter in the lobby, which is a standard amenity in much cheaper hotels.

Service is friendly and helpful. Their staff can communicate in Chinese and English (maybe more) in addition to Thai.

All in all, this place is fine for a night or two, and the location is decent, but there are many other hotels at the same price or cheaper that are better designed.

The environment was good and spacious room. The distance from BRT STATION may talk some time to walk. Abit noisy at night, no sound proof room.
