Triple Y Hotel

The location is fantastic: there's a 7-Eleven, a metro station, and Samyan Mitrtown shopping mall right downstairs. There's an ice cream shop called SWE there that's absolutely delicious. It's about a 15-minute walk to Chula Night Market, and tuk-tuks are readily available right outside. Getting a taxi is also very convenient, and the area isn't too congested. You can walk to Central World and the largest Big C in about 30 minutes, or get there by taxi in 10 minutes. Service was excellent: The staff spoke a little Chinese, and they even prepared the honeymoon decorations I requested in the confirmation email. Helpful tip: No smoking inside the room. You can go to the 11th floor, where you can see the Pixel Building – it's a great high-altitude view.

Families traveling with children, you might want to steer clear of this hotel. The good thing is it's right next to a shopping center, so transportation is convenient. The downside? I didn't read the check-in policy carefully before arriving. Issues started cropping up after check-in. First, they charge for children over 6 years old, and the pricing standard is really unclear. You pay for an extra bed, and you pay for an extra person. Want an extra blanket or pillow? That's also extra. There's a separate list for every single additional charge. Since I booked in advance, I couldn't cancel. It ended up costing nearly 2000 Thai Baht extra per night. Absolutely ridiculous!

The hotel is in the city center, with a 7-Eleven downstairs that's open 24 hours, which is super convenient. There's also a large shopping mall nearby, packed with food stalls and restaurants on every floor. Plus, there's a school next door that's nice to walk around.

The location is super convenient, right above Samyan MRT station. There's a 7-Eleven downstairs and plenty of shops and eateries, so it's really easy to get food and do some shopping. I've stayed here multiple times. Part of the hotel also serves as student accommodation, which makes it feel quite safe.
