The Promenade Hotel

This is a clean hotel with everything I need in a comfortable hotel. I stay here every time I visit Bangkok/.

Hotel a bit old,but all over good condition. Quiet part of soi 8 (though some construction going on next door) Very polite and helpful staff! Will be back.

This used to be a good value stay but recently they made minor refurbishments to the rooms, added touch ups to an old hotel already falling apart. Redid varnish and paint, nothing special, the place still looks the same and now have increased their price quite a bit. The lobby is the same glum looking and dimly lit entrance space. Reception remains is cold and unfriendly. Staff are unwilling to price match and insist on the highest pricing for walk in. Toilets in the rooms still leak and don't flush properly. None of the superficial "improvements" or repairs to fixtures that previously needed repairing justifies the price increase. Other budget hotels in the vicinity and nearby area have made similar improvements but still managed to keep their prices from going up. The rooms are clean, the beds very comfortable. Other than that not much else positive I can say when you can get better value at other nearby properties. As of Oct 2023, there are three buildings adjacent to the back of the hotel undergoing demolition and renovations. If you book a room facing the back, you will be subject to this noise from 7am to 4-5pm, sometimes later. These are big jobs, I don't see them ending until at least Jan 2024, maybe later. If you book a room a the front, just know there is an al fresco restaurant immediately opposite the building which operates until around 11 or 12, there is also a restaurant with a live band 40m down the road clearly audible from these rooms in the evenings.

Great place to stay, friendly staff, comfy bed, close to lots of bars and restaurants

This property requires the owner to put money back into the hotel if they expect to see returning customers 1 the shower in room 603 works but you have to hold the shower head all the time. 2 umbrella they provide ever single one is broken 3 no safe deposit box in room one provided in hotel lobby (not convenient) i have stayed at a number of hotels in this area and this is the worse 😫 one by far stay here again NO

Expectations were low as this was just a stop over for 3 nights, before exploring more of Thailand. The entrance is unassuming and feels like you've stepped back into the 60s, with lots of dark wood panels and COVID style reception desk. Something else from days gone by ... Great service from all the staff. Room was on the 3rd floor. Spacious, huge bed, air con, TV, kettle and mini fridge. Bathroom was the most dated, hand held shower over the bath and a hand basin which didn't drain well. The room was quiet, even though we looked over Soi 8. Location is excellent with great restaurants and bars minutes away. The BTS is close too, also ample taxis and tuktuks. Conclusion: For a few nights to get the Bangkok experience..... on a budget, and with a pool, I'd recommend this hotel. If you want luxury or are staying longer, with a corresponding higher budget, I'd go elsewhere.
