Hip Hotel Bangkok

I was in bangkok for 7 days and i stayed here for the first 2 days and the last day. Everything was great in HIP hotel. I am sharing my review with everyone because i love the concept of leveraging our time and experience. Keep sharing guys so we can know what is good and what is not so good and what to avoid!

Tip 1: The non smoking room on top is smaller than the smoking room below and doesn't have a bathtub. The smoking room is much better because it is spacious and with a big bathroom with bathtub.

Tip 2: Most taxi doesn't know HIP hotel so tell them Emerald hotel, Hip hotel just round the corner.

Tip 3: Use the MRT which is 5 mins walk to either "Thailand cultural center or Huay Kwang Station" It could be really jammed if you are using a taxi and you can really spend your day in the taxi if you are caught in a jam.

Tip 4: Always tips the people, their salary is so little and it is always good to share. Give and you shall received.

Tip 5: If you are into disco with live band, you can try HOllywood or Baryan tree which is very near HIP hotel. It will be good if you cross the overhead bridge and take a taxi from there. In that way, you can save time and money.

Tips 6: Never walk in because it cost about 1900 baht where you can book the hotel at about 1350 - 1450 per night. Booking from the internet and printing out the voucher can save you money.

Tips 7: Use the internet near Huai kwang, it cost about 20 baht per 1 hour or esplanade at 30 baht per hour

Tips 8: Use the massage palour near huai kwang which cost about 150 baht per hour instead of the ones below the hotel at a whopping 350 baht per hour.

HIP hotel doesn't have much facilities but they do have a Mirage cafe where people sing (Level 1) and you can give them money flower. There is a KTV family style on the 3rd level of the building. And yes, i didnt see any swimming pool :PHip hotel is located near Huai kwang and there are plenty of nice food over there. And if you are into shopping, you can find plenty of clothes for the youth. The food there is great.You can walk to Robinson, Carrefour or Eolande from HIP hotel. It takes about 5 mins to 10 mins.Overall i feel Hip hotel is really value for money. Rooms are really nice and spacious for the price. I will use HIP hotel the next time for sure!

Oh yes, i forgot to add, the bathroom is a little transparent, i tried 2 rooms, one at level 8 and 1 at level 5 and both bathrooms are alittle transparent. So beware or have fun ;)
