We stayed here for two nights on a layover between flights from the UK to Australia. I booked this because it was cheap (and I am cheap), and because it offered a very cheap ”family suite” option of two interconnecting rooms. I was travelling with my 11-year-old daughter and this seemed like a good option for us both getting an undisturbed sleep. I'm an Accor member, and have stayed in Ibis Styles hotels in several places around the world. They're generally OK. This place was way above normal Ibis Styles standards. This hotel is very new: it had been open for a couple of months when we stayed. The location is good. It's very close to Sala Daeng BTS and not far from Silom MTR. It's on a major road. However, it is down its own little alleyway, so it is isolated from traffic noise. It's a private, dedicated alleyway, with a good smooth surface and good lighting, not a scary dark alleyway. The lobby is light and airy and really nicely decorated, with floor cushions on a stairway which is a nice place to sit around. Check-in was great. The receptionist was friendly and helpful, and gave me all the information I needed. She even showed us to our room, which was on the ground floor. She apologised for it being on the ground floor, but really this was fine. The rooms were lovely. There was a door which closed us off from the rest of the corridor, meaning that we had a section of corridor to ourselves and could leave our doors open if we wanted to. The rooms were brightly coloured and extremely clean. The shower areas were huge. The beds were incredibly comfortable, with nice soft duvets. My one caveat is that these rooms were great for us, because there was one person in each room. It might be less good if there were two of you in a room. The showers are glass, and look directly onto the bed. There's a blind, and the door is partially frosted, but if you were lying in bed, even with the shower blind down, you could see the head and feet of the person in the shower. Also, the sink is in the room, rather than in a separate bathroom, so there's no privacy when you're brushing your teeth or shaving or whatever. Again, great for one person: you can watch TV while brushing your teeth or showering, but maybe not great for two people. The TV had very limited channels - for English I think there was only al-Jazeera, ChannelNewsAsia and RT. But it had YouTube built in, so you could find yourself something good to watch. The TV was a decent size - maybe 40”. WiFi was very fast and free. The breakfast buffet was small, but really good. The food was lovely. The pool area is great. It's on the roof, and it's shaded in the afternoon by surrounding buildings. From one end of the pool there is a good view across the city, even though it's only on the 9th floor. The bar by the pool did some lovely mocktails too. This hotel was unbelievably cheap - less than US$40 per night for one room - but it did not feel like
