Ibis Bangkok Sukhumvit 24

This is an edit to an earlier 1 star review because i feel I focused to much on a negative experience and ignored many good points. I've stayed here 5 times in the last 2 months and generally the stays were very good with very friendly and helpful staff, clean basic rooms, a great location and a very safe hotel. My bad experience occurred where I had previously emailed the hotel to confirm I would receive free breakfast and platinum benefits and been told yes only to have them declined at checkin. After I spoke to the manager he held firm on the refusal as following the terms and conditions and disregarded correspondence I'd had with the hotel. I thought this was worth a 1 star rating but want to take the positive experiences also into consideration. It seems the costly misunderstanding can happen here so extreme caution needs to be paid and conversations even if in writing don't seem to mean anything to management. Something similiar but much more minor happened when I was told by staff of the 2 for 1 cocktail promo. I went to the bar during the time and said I was there for the 2 for 1 promo and ordered 2 coffee cocktails. When time came to pay I was billed for both and queried it. I was told coffee cocktails were excluded as written in the terms and conditions. Well I hadn't read the fine print because everything I thought had been clear conversations with staff but just paid double and left. This was another example though of being misinformed by staff and it costing me so take care.

We only stayed in the IBIS for a night, since our flight left in the middle of the night. The rooms are pretty small and only have queen sized beds but they are equipped with everything you need: safe, small fridge to store things, tiny bathroom, a little bit of storage space. The location is fantastic with the BTS and two big malls around the corner. There is also a 7/11 in the building. I personally would only book IBIS if you’re on a budget and don’t have a lot of luggage. There is no space to open up your bags than on the bed.

Location is extremely convenient. <5mins walk from BTS Phrom Phong / EmQuartier Mall. Right across the hotel is Emporium Mall, which links to EmQuartier Mall / BTS Phrom Phong. If you need to buy some groceries you may head to Gourmet Market either at Emporium or EmQuartier. There's even a 7-11 right at the hotel itself and another 1 that's 2mins walk from the hotel. There's many street food vendors during day time so if you need to dive into thai cuisine you may do so. There's even a few massage parlors (legit) near the hotel as well. Just 2mins walk. And that 7-11 mentioned above sits in between these massage parlors. I will definitely stay at this hotel again whenever I visit Bangkok.

Hotel scelto casualmente giusto per la posizione in centro vicino a casa di amici; siamo invece rimasti piacevolmente colpiti da quanto è vicino alla metro e dal fatto che raggiungi qualsiasi cosa in tempi brevissimi. Ha un 7eleven sotto che ti consente di comprare quello che vuoi da portare in camera oppure da bere comodamente nell’hall dell’hotel in quanto ci sono divanetti a disposizione dei clienti. Ottima colazione all’8’ piano merita proprio che sia inclusa nel prezzo perché c’è di tutto e di più. Wi-Fi gratuito che comunque non prende benissimo. 500 bath su cauzione al check-in che poi ti viene restituita. Camera molto molto piccola senza la possibilità di aprire la finestra.

L’ho scelto perché passavo solo una sera a Bangkok prima di prendere l’aereo e volevo un albergo centrale e pulito senza spendere cifre esagerate. Qs albergo, nuovo, aperto a dicembre 2019 rispetta tutti qs canoni. La stanza è minimale, piccola ma con tutto quello che serve (bollitore, cassaforte, reception). Centralissima, offre una grande hall che condivide con il più elegante Mercure, ma che è molto ariosa, ampia e vi permette di lavorare. Ampio bar nella hall e servizio in camera se siete stanchi. La cosa però forse migliore è che dista un paio di minuti dallo sky-train, che vi consente con un solo cambio di raggiungere l’aeroporto in mezz’ora senza rimanere intasati dal traffico insopportabile del centro. Accanto all’albergo c’è un 7-11 e quasi attaccato uno Starbucks
