Scene
Simple hotel with cheerful atmosphere, suitable for all sorts of travelers
This simple five-story hotel is a cheerful budget option in the busy Silom district. The lobby is colorful and warm, with interesting art pieces hanging on the walls and overhead. Wicker sofas and chairs give guests places to sit and hang out, and there's an internet corner plus a big-screen TV for entertainment. Large windows look out onto the street, though this is the extent of the hotel's common areas, and the property is mostly used as a place to unwind at night. This iCheck Inn is relaxed and casual, and both leisure and business travelers pass through for its excellent location and reasonable rates.
Location
On a relatively quiet side street off Silom Road, under a 10-minute walk to Surasak Skytrain
This hotel is located on a relatively quiet side street just off busy Silom Road. Surrounding the hotel are a shopping center, restaurants, massage shops, convenience stores, banks, and condos, and it's just a few minutes' walk to some of the city's best shopping and dining on Silom Road. Notorious Patpong Night Market is a 15-minute walk away, while trendy dining along Convent Road takes around the same amount of time to reach. The Surasak Skytrain station can be reached in eight minutes on foot, providing access to the Suvarnabhumi Airport rail link and the MRT line as well. Expect about a 35 to 45 minute journey to Chatuchak Weekend Market by skytrain, and about an hour to the Grand Palace by using the skytrain and ferries along the Chao Phraya River from Sathorn Pier. Budget at least an hour by car or cab to reach the city's two main airports. Alternatively, Suvarnabhumi Airport can also be reached by skytrain and airport rail link in about an hour.
Rooms
Clean, basic rooms with air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, stocked minibars, and safes
Rooms here aren't the most contemporary, but they're pleasant enough for a short stay. They are simply furnished, with wood floors, basic clean-lined dark wood furniture, green or golden-hued walls, and white bed linens with accent pillows and bed runners. A colorful collage of Thai images hangs on the wall. Amenities include flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, stocked minibars, safes, and free Wi-Fi. Sinks are in the sleeping area, next to the wardrobe. Compact bathrooms have a toilet and walk-in shower separated by a pane of glass. Toiletries are provided, but hairdryers must be requested. Some rooms have been renovated and are more stylish and fresh, with colorful modern bed runners, rugs, artwork, and light wood built-in furniture. Deluxe Rooms are slightly larger and add a sofa bed. Many rooms look out to the backs of adjoining buildings, which are not particularly attractive.
