First Pride Hotel Bangkok

The bathroom is well done up but the shower is covered in mold, the room is large enough as we asked for a suite, but it was done nothing like a suite. There isnt even an iron or ironing board or even kettle in the room. even the fridge is on the floor They use espensive single seater sofa and chair but it was done up badly. This is a budget hotel that where you just go back and sleep and not spend any time in the hotel. For the price I paid, and given this is Thailand, I expected a bit more. There are bed bugs on the pillow, you can refer to the photo. The breakfast choice is not really good. maybe they expect the guest to eat out. They give you a balcony but they used screw to lock down the sliding door making it not openable. The thing that makes me most uncomfortable besides the bed bugs is the side door, and the door joining to the next room. These 2 doors are locked using keys but there is no way to lock the door from the inside, meaning anyone with the keys can enter your room from these 2 doors and you have no way to prevent it. Unlike other hotels where you have a door knob that only you can open on your side of the door and a lock to lock other doors that have access to your room. I kept worrying that there is someone opening the door from the outside at night during my stay. it feels like the owner constructed the hotel budgetted the reno for the standard rooms and forgotten to budget for the suites. it is nothing like the photos.

A lot of good foods nearby. Worth booking here. Just that no counter staff at midnight

Clean room, spacious for 2 pax, comfort bed and pillows, me and my wife happy to stay here and definitely come back again. Walking Distance to Platinum Mall Pratunam around 10 min, lots of food, massage shop and convenient store surrounding. Park hour is hard to grab to arrive as most of the main road out there would be jam, but lots of tuktuk outside hotel to be vacant.

& the 7-11 downstairs is actually a bigger outlet PERSONAL REVIEW TO BE PERCEIVED AS PER EACH INDIVIDUAL It was a 35% (good) VS 65% (urgh) stay in my opinion. PROS: 1) 7-11 directly opposite downstairs. It is those of a bigger outlet so there are much more variety available 2) Hotel is in a prime location that is actually a 3-5 mins shortcut walk away from Centrepoint Pratunam when u turn left (with the 7-11 in front of you) after exiting the hotel 3) Convenient in the sense that tuktuk are mostly avail downstairs in the day (take note if u can’t speak thai that they will still mostly call for 200baht even to nearby locations) 4) The female front counter staff can speak pretty good English CONS: 1) The front desk helpline SEEMINGLY do not work after a certain timing (which I (merely) suspect that the staffs actually know about it. Will come back to this in the later pointers) as none of the times I called late at night down to the lobby the calls actually went through except for the first night at probably around late 11pm-ish 2) Room service is not extremely clean as you can feel specks of dusty spots if you step around bare footed around the room. They WILL NOT automatically change a new pair of your slippers for you (not sure if they do if you request but I didn’t since I usually went back late and again, the hotline do not work at night; tested & proven on various nights). Toilet paper seems to be of those 2 ply types and they only provide 1 roll daily. Luckily there is a bidet!

Very good location for hotel if looking for street food and massage place plenty around hotel area.

Very good experience Near BTS station (if u don’t want to walk to BTS u can go there with Tuk Tuk (around 150 baht)
