Baiyoke Sky Hotel Bangkok

Situated in the middle of a very busy city, much quite like Binondo in Manila, where bargain bazaars and sidewalk vendors flood the streets, stands this high-rise 4- star hotel. If you are a bargain shopper, then this hotel is the best place for you. The bargain stalls of the night market are found just outside the hotel, so there is no need to ride a cab or a tuktuk. Malls are walking distances, but we had to ride once because it was raining. However, tuk-tuk drivers and motorcycle riders are quite scary because they appear from nowhere and with the narrow streets, you just pray that you could get back to the hotel in whole. Plus, im not really into crowded places, but i guess that would work for some people.

as for the hotel itself, the staff is accomodating and friendly. The food is superb. The breakfast buffet was my favorite, because they serve a wide range of dishes, from american to japanese to chinese, you name it. They make excellent waffles too. Also the restaurant was situated way up, surrounded by glass windows which provided us a magnificent view of downtown bangkok in the mornings. The room where i stayed was very spacious, the bathroom was beautiful, with a hot tub and separate shower. The room was spotless, no bugs or anything.

The hotel is also a tourist attraction so it was definitely a plus for me, because i could go to the revolving deck anytime i wanted to view the bangkok skyline. (they charge for non-guests)

I would definitely recommend this hotel to future tourists. All in all, i got my money's worth and considering the comforts i had, i must say, Baiyoke isnt that expensive at all.
