Baiyoke Sky Hotel Bangkok

The views are absolutely stunning, and the housekeeping staff is incredibly friendly. I'm so happy I chose this place for my first trip to Thailand. The location is super convenient, and every single staff member is so enthusiastic and helpful!

Getting from the 1st floor to the 18th-floor lobby, then to the room, involved a bit of elevator hopping, which took some getting used to at first, but I quickly adapted. The room was spacious, and the bathroom was large, which was great, but the facilities are a bit dated. The breakfast was excellent, and the hotel view is absolutely stunning. It's also very convenient being close to the airport train. I had a wonderful and relaxing stay.

1000 baht deposit. Corner room on the 23rd floor. It was clean, with new furniture and a spacious room. The bathroom had everything except a comb and razor. The toiletries were good. The towels were old but clean. There were bathrobes, but they weren't hung up as usual; they were in the closet, so it took a while to find them. Four bottles of water were provided. The soundproofing was good. The plumbing was old but functional. The hotel itself is old, but they try to keep it in good condition. The breakfast on the 81st floor was varied. We booked dinner on the 78th floor, which was also decent. Downsides: The bed was old and the mattress was terrible. The hairdryer was old and not powerful enough to dry hair. It's fine for one night, but for a longer stay, you'd need to consider it. It was impossible to get a taxi; they wouldn't come because the area is congested.

Every year we visit Bangkok to pay respects at the Erawan Shrine, and this time we decided to try the Baiyoke Sky Hotel, despite its mixed reviews online. I was a bit apprehensive, but honestly, my only thought after staying there was – why didn't I come sooner! 1) Service and Check-in: The front desk staff were very friendly and polite, and check-in was quick. After checking in, they not only gave us a fruit cocktail voucher for the 83rd floor but also an ice cream coupon for the kids, which was a really thoughtful touch. 2) Room Experience: We stayed on the 55th floor in a room with a 1.8-meter king bed and a 1.3-meter single bed. The room was very spacious. Although it's an older hotel, and the facilities show their age, the room was very clean. Besides a refrigerator, it also had a bathtub for the kids to play in, but the best part was undoubtedly the breathtaking, unobstructed Bangkok city view. 3) Breakfast and High-Altitude Experience: During our stay, we had all our meals at the restaurant on the 83rd floor. The food selection was incredibly rich and varied. The restaurant staff were not only very friendly but also quick to replenish dishes. Plus, with our room key, we could access the 360-degree revolving viewpoint on the 84th floor for free, both day and night, offering panoramic views, including the Chao Phraya River in the distance. The view was absolutely stunning. 4) Surroundings and Night Market: Right downstairs from the hotel is Pratunam Market, Bangkok's largest wholesale center, and next door, Platinum Fashion Mall boasts over 2,000 shops. The Pratunam Night Market is also right beside the hotel, offering endless browsing for days. Just a left turn downstairs, you'll find massage parlors, a 7-Eleven, and various restaurants. Central World and Big C are also only about a 15-minute walk away. The only minor drawback is that the street downstairs can be a bit chaotic, a stark contrast to the hotel, but its convenience and lively atmosphere make up for it. I personally love this authentic local vibe. 5) Transportation Convenience: It's a 5-10 minute walk to Ratchaprarop Station on the Airport Rail Link, which takes you directly to Suvarnabhumi Airport in 25 minutes. One stop further to Phaya Thai makes it convenient to transfer to the BTS Green Line. If you want to avoid crowded subways or BTS during peak hours, it’s also easy to hail a taxi using Grab or Bolt right outside. In summary, while Baiyoke Sky Hotel is an older establishment, it has been renovated, and our stay was excellent. Next time we're in Bangkok, we'll definitely be back to stay here again!

The hotel is located above Pratunam Market, within a high-rise building. Aside from the somewhat outdated room decor, everything else exceeded our expectations! The breakfast was incredibly rich and delicious! The staff provided excellent service, even giving candy and ice cream to our child when we checked out. Plus, staying at the hotel includes free access to the observation deck for scenic views – it's truly great value for money!

The hotel is a bit run-down. There are many shops around, traffic jams, and a lot of hustle and bustle.
