Excellent location nearchinese markets
by Dr. Hans Nitschke from Huenfelden, Germany
Rating of my grandchild: I like the pool
Central location but average room
by Ashok Paranjpe from United Kingdom
Located in the centre of China town - 10 minutes walk to the pier but a good 30 minutes walk to the metro / railway station. Location is quite noisy and the room was not what I would have expected for a "deluxe" level of room. Swimming pool at top more of a gimmick as very small.
Overall quite average.
Great location, friendly staff, clean rooms - NICE!
by Rendell Family from Cooloola Cove, Australia
We are a family of 5 from Australia and this was our first holiday overseas. We found the hotel very clean and enjoyed the daily service - nice to come back to beds made and fresh towels! If you love markets, this is the hotel to stay in. Right in Chinatown, everything you could want is just a short walk away. The ferry boat service is only 5 minutes walk away and is very convenient to use to visit Temples (Grand Palace, Wat Arun, Wat Pho). It can also take you to the Sky Train to use to visit the major Shopping Centres (MBK!!!!). Staff are very friendly (especially Coffee Shop staff) and the buffet breakfast is a great way to set you up for the day. Very enjoyable stay!
Amazing
by Laura from Wellington NZ
Loved the whole experience the staff are very friendly and helpful. We stayed for 5 nights the rooms were always clean and very reasonable prices. Room service very good loved the ice cream coming from NZ thats saying a lot!. We loved the location as the reason for the trip was shopping it was ideal. I would recommend this hotel to anyone it was my first stay in Thailand and it made it an awesome experience.
Best hotel in Chinatown
by radhika meganathan from India
My family and I stayed in this hotel for 4 nights in the 3rd week of December 2007. When we checked in, they showed us a tiny suite for 4... my dad felt suffocated on entering the suite and when I called the reception, they immediately arranged for us to be shifted to a palatial suite... at no extra cost. It was so speedy and done with so much courtesy that I was really astounded and happy.
The service, throughout our stay, was like this... prompt and polite, and no one lingered for a tip. Rooms were cleaned and made up everyday, it was spotless. Sure the corridors smell of smoke, but what do you expect from a smoking floor?
The revolving restaurant in the top had some amazing views and will be ideal if you have someone with you to impress. Yes, the food is overpriced, but the ambience makes up for it. The complimentary morning buffet (served from 6:00 to 10:00) is delicious and had over 30 dishes, even Indian pulao!
There are, however, three minor problems I had. The pool was open only after 9am... it was difficult to have a dip when we had a busy touring schedule ahead of us. Like most other hotels in Bangkok, we had problems with English-speaking staff... we had to speak real slow to make them understand what we were asking... and the internet cost 200 baht an hour! Really steep!
Apart from those few minus points, GCP is a gem of a place to stay in Chinatown. The staffs in the reception were always smiling, and the concierge and the porters were very willing to help us, and guide us. I´d definitely return!
great place

Excellent location to stay and to explore chinatown

aircondition caused cough.
(though this is probably a feature of all aircondition devices in the world.)
Very good location. Can be recommended
by Mr. Hans Nitschke from Huenfelden (near Frankfurt), Germany
Spent a few nights in october 2005 in this hotel.
Had a clean and well kept room. Breakfast buffet with a great variety of choices and very tasty. Hotel is situated in the very heart of chinatown, short distances to all the shops and marketstalls and also a short walk only to the Chao Phraya (for a boat trip, which can be recommended). Will come again in April 2006 for a longer stay.
