Good experience
I was impressed every time I go Baiyoke Suite to relax at home. With a full range of amenities. The staff is friendly and attentive. I used to come back again.
Only location is great
by Alex Kelron from Finland
It was really aging room. The only thing we like this place is location that in center of wholesale shopping center. As well, rate was reasonable.
Good lacation
This hotel is in a great location for exploring and tuk tuks and taxis are readily available near the hotel.
It's close to Pratunam shopping center. Room not big not small, comfy bed and cleaning room.
Good location
The hotel is near the train station. Ratchaprarop station. It takes 5 minutes, about 150 miles to the hotel and is close to shopping.
Really old
by Andrew M from Australia
I made the mistake of getting a standard room for this stay and it was a big mistake. The room despite being a 'non smoking' room , stunk of stale cigerete smoke and there were burn marks all over the carpet and furniture. The sink was broken in half and their was mould on the walls. Wallpaper was falling down in the bedroom. The whole room needed renovating. VERY DISS

Shop 'til you drop... Danee & Nikki's 2010 Bangkok Getaway
by DR. LEO T. PARADIANG from Phillippines
The hotel is located right in the middle of the shopping area-Pratunam. The only thing that should be looked into by the hotel is the quality & variety of their breakfast. It was good,
but it could certainly help them if the food would be improved.
Good food but not so nice hotel
by Lyle Mark Razote from Phillippines
The rooms are bad. It has a very bad smell when we first arrive in our rooms. They don't have air fresheners available. I think they don't clean the carpet. But on the other hand, the place is good for their buffet breakfast.
cheap and huge room. location pretty central
by Jerry Sim from Singapore
the place is pretty run down, everything in the room is old except the bed. 1 of the lights in my room is not working so I had a hard time packing my bags.
Breakfast area was great! nice view, on the 43rd level.
for the location and budget rates, i think its still quite a catch if u dun mind the oldness of the room.
couldn't ask for more

Excellent location for good shopping
by Lee Thiam Guan from Singapore
Baiyoke Suite is well located in the Pratunam area which has access to wholesale markets just below the hotel and the Platinum Fashion Mall which is pretty near to the area. Loads of good shopping could be done and there are ample massage parlours and food restaurants around, so you pretty much not have to worry about food or shopping.
Staffs were monotonous, I wouldn't say un helpful but more like they do not bother? For example the bath tub in our room was clogged and the water wouldn't flow down when we shower, after telling the recptionist, no apology or anything, just a nonchalant 'Okay.' from her. However, when we went back to our room, the tub was still clogged.
Rooms were old and dusty, the family felt very uncomfortable living there due to the surroundings. Perhaps it is time they do an upgrade to their rooms, no point making them so big yet old.
My recent Bangkok stay was in Baiyoke Boutique hotel in August, comparing both hotels, Baiyoke Boutique definitely fared better despite being a budget hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, service was top-notch and the entire hotel environment was comfortable and friendly. As for Baiyoke Suite, I do not think I will want to stay there again.
good location

location is good for shoppers

I like this place cause I can shop alot.
EXCELLENT LOCATION AND SERVICE.
by SHERAN KARUNAHARAN from TORONTO, CANADA
I STAYED AT THIS HOTEL FROM JUNE 21-JUNE25, 2009. I WAS TRAVELLING WITH 2 KIDS (AGED 6,5), I NEEDED A ROOM THAT CAN ACCOMODATE 4 PERSONS. THIS HOTEL PROVIDED QUART OCCUPANCY ROOMS. THE ROOM WE STAYED WAS EXCELLENT WITH 2 SINGLE BEDS FOR THE KIDS AND ONE KING SIZE BED FOR US. VERY LARGE ROOMS. FOR FAMILIES TRAVELLING WITH KIDS, ITS A WONDERFUL HOTEL AND AN EXCELLENT VALUE FOR THE MONEY YOU PAY. THE LOCATION IS GREAT, AS LOTS OF PEOPLE LOVES TO SHOP, AND ITS LOCATED IN THE HEART OF ALL THE SHOPPING AND WHOLESALE AREAS. YOU CAN FIND VARIOUS TYPES OF RESTAURANTS AROUND THIS AREA WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE. AIRCONDITIONING IN THE ROOM WAS AMAZING. THE BREAKFAST WAS EXCELLENT WITH LOTS OF VARIETY AND NICE VIEW FROM THE 43RD FLOOR RESTAURANT. I WOULD STRONGLY RECCOMMEND THIS HOTEL FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE TRAVELLING WITH KIDS, WHO LOVES TO SHOP AND WHO LOVES BARGAINS. I ALSO GREATLY APPRECIATE THIS WEBSITE FOR THE SERVICE THEY PROVIDE. THIS WEBSITE BOOKING SERVICE IS EXCELLENT AND VERY EASY AND CONVENIENT. I WOULD DEFINITELY USE THIS WEBSITE TO BOOK AGAIN AND I STRONGLY RECCOMMEND THIS WEBSITE TO MY FRIENDS.
In the middle of Shopping district
by Gautam Jindal from New Delhi, India
The hotel lobby , lifts and the roof top restaurant are good. The rooms are very spacious, the bed is not very comfortable and the carpets are dirty/ old. If shopping is your main agenda in Bangkok, look no further. You are spot on. With two small kids, we did not have many options as most hotels do not permit more than 3 guests per room including kids. Here we had 4 beds and that made life easier. The breakfast was good and the view from the 43rd floor restaurant was even better. Over all a good value for money.
Excellent location
Location is superb. However, the road leading to the hotel is too congested and narrow. To get in and out of the place takes long time due to traffic congestion. Overall, it is value for money.
Good locations but rooms are quite old
Lobby has been renovated but not the rooms.Good location as shopping area is just below.Great for budget travellers.
Other Services
by Sidek Mallek from Singapore
This is my 2nd stay at your suite. I find the amenities quite as expected. But if I may, I would like to add a couple of views. Firstly, I was quite dismayed that there is no FREE wireless internet. For those like me who bring their work with them on their notebooks, i find it atrocious to be paying for internet where other cities in other countries provide free use. I hope this is one area that can be improved.
Secondly, the breakfast buffet is very welcome except that the variety of food is the same as one year ago. This is not so refreshing when you are looking for repeat customers.
Overall, your staff has been quite helpful and patient with their ever smiling face which is the trademark of the Land of Smiles, which is Thailand. I will definitely come back again to your hotel and hopefully the above suggestions may have improved.
Cheers

The bathroom was disign for eurpian people only
Good location
by Mundatta Jagroop from Mauritius
Good location for garment shopping.
Rooms far too old, need urgent renovation.
Prices of sightseeing tours far too expensive in hotel: the tour operator next to Baiyoke Sky Hotel offers same tours 3 times cheaper (Bhat 500 instead of Bhat 1,500 at hotel!!!)
it was ok
by William Vernon from Australia Sydney
The lifts were very slow couldnt get on them sometimes from the ground floor to many people trying to get on.Getting up to the breakfast floor 43 was a big wait.
Lights were very dull in room 333 one light in lounge wasnt working at all
excellent location for garment shopping
by Beat Hofer from Switzerland
I don´t know what all these reviews about waiting time of elevators are about. they were the most sophisticated elevators I have ever experienced. fast and safe (need room card to access any guest floor).
rooms a bit dated and yes, TV should also be in the bedroom.
personel friendly.
Rooms with excellent view
by Muhamad Nur Ariffian from Singapore
Baiyoke Suite is nice although the lack of a proper drop off point bugged me. The road is so narrow that even stopping to load my luggage into the taxi got me shouted at by the traffic warden. The bedrooms are at least shielded from lobby noise.
Great for Bangkok Shoppers
The hotel is quite strategically located from shopping areas. With good roadside stalls just below the hotel. The Deluxe suite is big and spacious. Clean and nice. Will return to stay if im going for shopping in BKK again. Taxis to major malls is jus less then 80baht. Nice view at 37th floor. Only setback maybe the room aircon, it noisy but it can be switch off and use the air con in e living room. Its so cold~
Good location for Wholesale
by Doris Saw from Singapore
Hotel should provide free shuttle/feeder service to BTS station.
perfrct place to stay, lots of food stuff in the night
by GAN SUET KHENG from Singapore
nothing to complain about, really a good location with pratunam market and all the fashion mall around us.Though skyrain is a 15mins walk away but no complain because its the best value for money.
good location if u are not picky about the room
the location was good, there was a market just downstairs and walking distance to platinum, a little far from MBK though, esp if u have old people in your party. but the room was just functional, the hot water was the worst, on and off and could not be predicted. the breakfast was alright on the first day, but we had the same breakfast for 4 days, which was quite bad. other than that the room isn´t very new, but is rather clean. oh and the bellboys can´t be trusted, the concierge man overcharged us for the river trip, do not book anything from them. the hotel limousine is actually their own personal cars, like some kind of side income for them, nothing fancy at all. but other than that it´s not too bad, nice view from the 43rd story restaurant, service was alright, except they take really long to bring the luggage up and respond to calls. it´s livable.
Looks better than it is
by Bruce Owens from Seattle, WA
The rooms are very large for the money and clean, but it seems that that it hasn´t been well maintained, wallpaper peeling off, windows filthy on the outside and such. No breakfast included, but dinner up on the 43rd floor is nice with a beautiful view. The location is not good at all, not close to any BTS station and the traffic is an absolute nightmare at all times. A simple cab ride takes at least 45 minutes to get a mile away. All in all, it seems like this hotel has seen better days.
Worth a while staying.
by Mohamad Rizal Hassan from Malaysia
Located in a stratigic shopping area. Easy access to main shopping areas and good birdeye´s view from the sky restaurant. Worth a while trying this during your trip.
Spacious Room!! Convenience to Shop!!
by MS STELLA from Malaysia
The suite room is too big enough for 2 person. The lobby is looked new(after renovation, i think)But the carpet is messy, & other facilities should be replace...The TV should be put inside the bedroom not the living room!! Anyhow is Ok for me cause the room is only for sleeping & take bath...
The location is Ok, just step out the hotel, is a market..can get a very cheap clothes & bags here...But is a bit far frm the BTS (ard 15-20 mins) walking distance...
Anyhow have a pleasant stay during my BangKok trip..
Close to markets
by Mr Glendon Crimp from Sydney, Australia
Rooms are clean and comfortable, big in size and have nice views. All staff speak english and are helpful. The hotel is right amongst the markets and an easy 25 min walk to MBK and Siam Plaza. Is great value for money.
Comfortable rooms, great location and good value overall
by R.Allan from Auckland, New Zealand
This was the 3rd hotel my daughter and I had stayed at in Bangkok within 2 months and overall this was the best value. The location was ideal as we were within walking distance to all the malls and wholesale stores we liked. Our room was spacious and clean (although the decor was somewhat dated). The breakfast buffet was good (some food could have been hotter but overall the variety was great), plus being on the top floor you get an amazing view of the city. I also had a Thai and foot massage which were very well priced considering it was in the hotel. All the staff we dealt with were pleasant and helpful. The only concern I had was that anyone could access the lifts. In the previous hotels we stayed at you needed to insert your room card to access the different floors which I think is a good security measure. Aside from that, if I ever come back to Bangkok I would definitely stay at Baiyoke again.
Value for Money
by Tang Wern Ping from Malaysia
The location is good for bargain hunters - shopping haven for unbranded fashion wear. Right smack at the Pratunam wholesale market. Easily accesible to other parts of the city with many taxis and tuk-tuk. The suite room was a little old. But, no unpleasant smells though. Should have the TV set in the bedroom. The bath tub was clogged. Water pressure for the shower was poor. Breakfast was good but its the same for every day. An improvement on the facilities and bedrooms will be great. The kitchenette was entirely useless cos the tap in the kitchen sink was removed and the only thing available was just a water boiler. My 1st time in this hotel.
Will consider staying here again if the rates are maintained with some improvement to the rooms.
hello
by Azman Bin Mohamad Dali from Singapore
Value for money and good excellent view for breakfast.
Great value, location and food!
Right when you step out of the hotel, there is a market...perfect for those who love to shop. Walking distance to the malls. The buffet breakfast is really good! A lot of variety and the view is nice. Bedrooms are quite big! Good for families as well. The price is reasonable. And best of all there is an outdoor pool to relax in and soak up the sun. Would definately stay here again!
Stay here (in heart of cheap shopping) but don´t expect much !!
I had thought that since this is a sister hotel of Baiyoke Sky (The tallest hotel in Thailand and also quite nice), it would be equally good, if not better.
The room was very very bad, AC didn´t work properly even after repeated calls to house keeping.
When we requested for room change, I got the Tried and trusted reply, "Sorry Sir, we are completely booked!!" Surprisingly, I never saw all those people anywhere in the hotel.
Breakfast buffet is quite decent, Staff is horrible and very hostile if you ask for an extra set of cutlery etc.
Lobby of the hotel is the only nice looking and well manitained area in the hotel.
Even if you have to stay near Patpong or Chatuchak, I would suggest you take that but not Baiyoke Suite.
We checked in for 2 nights but were out in 1 day.
The only saving grace is that it´s in the middle of cheap shopping (Pratunam area). But then you would come back to your room after a day of shopping, wouldn´t you..
Very good a you sere halal food. If possible separate the area. dont mix the cuttlery.
by Dk Rohana Pg Matahir from brunei
please review all your rooms and update or upgrade the condition of the rooms..maybe the carpet needs changing..the wall need repainting etc etc

Well Below Expectation for 3 stars hotel
by Ho LayChing from Singapore
I booked 2 suites in this hotel. The room furniture is very old (one of the wardrobe is not able to open) and the carpet is very dirty. There is even blood stain on the bed sheet. I intended to check out the next day but I did´nt do it becos this is a very short trip and I´m travelling with family. We decided to stay on to save the trouble. Long wait for hotel lift.
Buffet breakfast
by Noorliza Binte Ahmad from singapore
The buffet breakfast can be better by making it more tasty.
Great Location & very helpful staff
by Kasey Tan from Singapore...
After reading the reviews, i make Baiyoke Suite my choice and i love it so much that next week i´m going there to stay again!!
Its true that the lift is at least a 10min wait and the b´fast is a bit turn off but everything is worth it when i tot of the good location and services of the staff.
I lost my camera on the airplane, the staff did everything they can to help me find my camera and i´m so touched & impress by their services of cos in the end they found my camera.
I love the location the most cos 1st 5storey of the hotel is budget shopping!!! so many thing and all so cheap!! its also near a few cheap shopping centre.
overall ok no problem
by Kamariah Binte Yuhari from singapore
Like the food but i don´t like the service.
good location
by azhar aziz from malaysia
carpets old,should change to clear hardwoodflooring or tiles for easier maintainence.should have attached hand bidet near toilet bowl for muslim guest.sofabed at living area would be good.additional lifts would be good.ramp towards concierge area would be good.lobby nice because newly renovated.would definetly come again and don´t mind paying a bit extra if these improvement are done.thank u
Shop till you drop death in this location.
by Edmund KS Dan from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The place is central to shopping paradice for almost all things esp. clothing, wood craft and yummy foods.
The suite has only one bathroom, a bit inconvenience for four person at times.
Good location and good size rooms for families
by Mr Jaffer from Australia
I found the hotel staff to be very helpful and the rooms were a good size for a family. Like most hotels that I have stayed at in Thailand (in the mid to lower budget range)the rooms are not maintained to the standard that I would, but this hotel was not bad. I will stay again and I will use Hotels2Thailand again. Second stay at this hotel.
Can´t Ask For More Really!
I guess the size of the suite given is really value for money. Minor problem such as waiting for the lifts would probably explain why the room rates are priced lowly. But seriously, I don´t mind waiting as this allows me to pay half the price for the same features provided elsewhere.
by Jamie Tan from Singapore
the lift was not operating for 2hours & management did not give a valid reason.
A Wonderful Place
by YEO LI MIN from Melaka, MALAYSIA
i enjoyed shopping the most... we got inexpensive yet affordable bargains. very good deal for shoppers like us... location is kinda strategic...i can´t say it is 100% perfect, well that depends on where you aim to go...agree?
however, it was quite tough for us to find proper eatery shops... or even restaurants...but yes, you can get to taste the juicy, distinctive creature (insect)... n other take away food i.e., chicken wings, sweet corn, grill fish, n etc...
hrmm, hope to visit Bangkok again...
Super location for whole sale shoping
by CHIN PAK YUI from Malaysia
the room is big enough for 10 person but head court!
by bruce collins from australia
room too close to lift noisy ping bell no taps on kitchenette sink ???
Disappointed with location. Thought it was much closer to train.
by Amanda Palmer from Australia
Lobby very impressive. Didnt match up with the rest of the hotel. No water in sink.
Excellent location and near shopping area and halal muslim restaurant
by Rosdi Mohamed from Kuala Lumpur
Big Room Small Bathroom
by Kasey Tan from Singapore
1) Surrounding of the hotel looks old and very messy and dirty but got lots of cheap bargains.
2) Lobby newly renovated very impressive. Lobby´s toilet forever smells so good and super clean.
3) Lift is small and old still upgrading till now. so long already.
4) Rooms very big but dull colours make you so down also...
5) Bathroom opposite to the room. very small. the bathtub was pathetically small.
6) Breakfast don´t look attractive at all. taste also so so only.
7) gotta praise on their service and patient for the receptionist.
Really spacious with a room and living hall, but minimal features
You pay a room rate and you get double the size. But what was irritating was the wait for the lifts. It´s a nightmare. But with the renovation going on (still going on although it stated in the website that it is expected to complete in December), they are adding two additional lifts. I wonder if that is enough!
Excellent location for Shopping
by Phua Poh Kiat from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Staying there during the renovation works is not a good experience,however was lucky because most of the time are not in the room or else the sound will be fun.....
