Asia Hotel Bangkok

The hotel was cheap, but the service and hygiene were terrible. The front desk staff, in particular, seemed impatient and had a discriminatory attitude towards Chinese guests. The room looked like it was decorated 50 years ago – it's hard to even describe... The air conditioning couldn't be adjusted, it was freezing cold like an ice cellar, and I caught a cold after staying for two days. Also, when checking out at 12:30 PM, they actually demanded a 700 baht late check-out penalty, which was shocking 😦. After protesting, they charged 350 baht, but it took ages arguing at the front desk. The money wasn't the issue, but it was incredibly embarrassing. 😂

I stayed at Asia Hotel for two days back in October 2019. At the time, part of the hotel was under renovation, and half of my window was blocked, which was a bit of a mood killer. But because I really value its excellent location and super convenient access, I decided to stay there again for three nights this time. The hotel lobby has since been redecorated and looks much better than it did seven years ago. The hallways and rooms, however, don't seem to have changed much. It still has that old-hotel charm, which I actually prefer; many newly opened hotels these days feel too cramped and oppressive. The breakfast buffet didn't have a huge variety, but it covered Thai, American, pastries, and fruits, so there was definitely enough to eat. I'd definitely stay here again on my next trip to Bangkok.

The hotel lobby is absolutely stunning. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, and the location is super convenient, with a light rail station right upstairs. However, the hotel facilities are a bit dated, and the bathtub drains very slowly. Also, the hotel doesn't provide slippers or a toothbrush and toothpaste, so you'll need to bring your own.

Right outside the hotel is the subway station, which is super convenient. There's a swimming pool, but it's quite small. Overall, the environment is decent, and the room cleaning service is excellent. The breakfast is good; I quite enjoyed it.

The environment is really great, and the lobby is very comfortable. The room is clean and spacious. Most of the front desk staff can speak Chinese. You can take the BTS directly from the 2nd floor, and there's a 7-Eleven nearby. It's awesome!
