Holiday Inn Express Bangkok Sathorn by IHG in Bangkok

Location was great! Rooms as expected for a Holiday Inn. Air conditioner function was on and off in the middle of the night (it would feel super hot randomly). What made our stay the most memorable was the staff (older Thai gentleman) working at the front door on Dec 23 at around 6:30pm. He was so helpful and so friendly !

Because staff is always amazing at these express hotels in Thailand i hate giving lower reviews, but i want to offer emphasize the staff was great in sharing info, helping when I'm need, and just being genuine people showing a good gratitude and offering a smile and genuine dialogue whenever you came across them.

Now, the room, the size, the fridge, the cleanliness were fine. I felt my bed wasn't very comfortable, maybe too stiff. And I kept the TV on one channel that showed movies, I wish these hotels would upgrade to casting options for guests.

Though you are near food and food can get delivered you will desire a late night food options from the hotel and/or a microwave.

This hotel was also the only one so far that I've stayed at in bangkok that didn't offer in room massage. That will be a down vote when it comes to me deciding if I stay here in the future.

You also have to take into consideration the location. It seems you'll be in a back alley area and need to walk a little bit, not far at all to the main street. You can venture around the other directions and find some interesting places to stop in, but you will not have any great views from this hotel or feel close to make attractions even though Patpong is within waking distance and you could get a grab or bolt ride anywhere.

Staying here is great for budget friendly travel, but paying a bit more to stay somewhere else won't hurt. My future travels I may go back to the IHG hotel in Silom as it fits all my needs a bit more and fixes the complaints I have with this hotel in Sathorn and it is also close to this same area.
