Asia Hotel

296 Phayathai Road Ratchathewi, Bangkok 10400, Thailand

Asia Hotel is a very safe choice to make if you are a first time traveller to Bangkok or you do not believe you have the ability to accimilitise yourself to the Bangkok surroundings easily and efficiently. Its location is its plus point being linked to a BTS station allowing you to travel almost anywhere without any hassle. Its proximity to the popular shopping areas like Siam Square, Pratunam and Bobae also helps alot. You also need not fear taxi drivers not knowing the location of the hotel because its very established and well known. Its surroundings also provide alot of convenience for travellers because of the shops available just around the vicinity of the hotel. You can find a 7-11, a cheap and good massage parlour providing foot and traditional Thai massage just at the doorstep of the hotel. Several eateries also operates around the corner and the food are quite up to standard. There are also several roadside stalls that are available for supper if you need to grab a bite after shopping at night markets or clubbing.

The hotel rooms do not really justify its rating of being a 4 star hotel because Asia Hotel is relatively older compared to other hotels thus the setting of the room can be quite dated. However, the maintenance is quite up to standard. However, they provide quite a good breakfast spread but to me that's not really a priority because the REAL good food are usually found outside the hotels.

My conclusion on Asia Hotel is that it would be best not to expect too much of the ambience and facilities of the hotel because the price you are paying for largely goes to its accessible location and security provided as with other established hotels as well. Good for first time travellers.
