The Ibis Bangkok Siam is a mid-range chain hotel with 189 rooms right beside the National Stadium Skytrain station, walking distance from shopping malls in Bangkok’s downtown Siam area. The small guest rooms are functional and contemporary, if generic, with flat-screen TVs, safes, mini-fridges, and coffee- and tea-making facilities. Bathrooms are also tiny, and shower water pressure can be low. Facilities are limited to a restaurant and bar open 24/7, and there’s a 24-hour on-site convenience store. Guests can use the pool and gym at the Mercure as well -- located in the same building -- for a fee. The similarly priced Citadines Sukhumvit 8 Bangkok is a good alternative and has rooms with full kitchens, plus a small rooftop swimming pool.
Scene
Low-frills chain property with bright, functional, contemporary design
This no-frills chain property is a low-cost downtown option appealing to tourists and business travelers alike. The hotel occupies the first eight stories of a large, modern tower set just back from the main road; the upper floors house the Mercure Bangkok Siam hotel (breakfast is served in the Mercure’s restaurant). The hotel’s glass frontage is fringed by trees and outdoor seating; inside, contemporary island-style front desk banks sit beneath chic red light fixtures. Decor includes gray-and-white floor tiling and off-white wall paneling with wall-mounted flat-screen TVs. Simple brown sofa seating somewhat softens the bright, functional space. The bar and restaurant (connected to the lobby) has metal-framed, wood-topped tables with bright orange seats, white tiled flooring, and floor-to-ceiling windows plus modern suspended pendant lights, and an attractive gray bar with shiny under-counter mosaic tiling.
Location
Convenient downtown location beside Skytrain and walking distance to malls and tourist attractions
Right beside the Skytrain’s National Stadium station (and thus also close to the MBK mall and the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre), the Ibis Bangkok Siam is conveniently located on a busy stretch of road in the heart of Bangkok. Being set back behind a drop-off and pick-up point for the station means it manages to remain relatively peaceful. The shopping malls of Siam are a short walk away, and there are plenty of local food vendors on the sidewalks just outside.- One-minute walk to National Stadium Skytrain station
Rooms
Simple, functional rooms with safes, phones, mini-fridges, and tea- and coffee-making facilities
The 189 rooms at the Ibis Bangkok Siam come in one size only -- they're all 183 square feet (17 square meters), with either king-size or twin beds. Rooms are clean and bright and sport contemporary decor, though they’re generic and basic, without any extra bells and whistles. Beds are comfortable and rest against pale-wood headboards with small built-in bedside tables and wall-mounted lamps. Accent walls and blinds are in the signature Ibis shade of red, and there are funky wall-mounted modern canvas prints on the walls plus dark wood-panel flooring. Built-in desks with white countertops sit beside well-sized windows (with decent views of neighboring buildings and the Skytrain). Other features include simple gray daybeds, coffee- and tea-making facilities, mini-fridges, safes, and flat-screen TVs inset into pale-wood wall units. Small bathrooms have off-white floors and wall tiling, basic vanities with elegant brown mosaic tile accents, and simple walk-in showers with power showerheads.
Features
Restaurant and bar open 24/7, convenience store, and breakfast, pool and gym for a fee
The Ibis Bangkok Siam has few facilities to speak of. There’s a 24-hour restaurant and bar in the lobby, and a decent breakfast is served (for a fee) at the Mercure hotel’s restaurant on the ninth floor in the same building. There’s also an on-site convenience store that’s open 24/7, and guests can pay extra to use the Mercure’s pool and gym. Laundry services are available, and there’s fast and free Wi-Fi throughout. Pets are welcome.
