Hotei Park Silom- Suriwong - new kid on the block

[vinapu]

On my last trip I tried this brand new hotel, yes name spells Hotei and can recommend it with whole heart.

They  are still working on the lobby so during day it was some construction but it should be over very soon.

It's small place - just two rooms per floor but there's elevator. 

Located on corner of Narathiwas  and Suriwong , steps from Amara and Red Planet. During day somebody should be on reception, if not there's clear instruction how to call somebody and they will show up in 5 minutes if not sooner. At night entry by card only, either from street side or from the back and it makes  ideal place for those who price discretion.

Sign says ' no overnight guests allowed" but how they police that  is unclear. Nobody said the word when my gest was leaving around 11 am one morning. Rooms is quite big and despite facing street quiet enough to sleep comfortably. Only thing I would like to see is safety deposit box but one can't have everything I guess. Perhaps in future ? 

If you want your room cleaned you need to put sign outside, otherwise they don't bother but will hang a bag with 2 bottles of water, pack of napkins and roll of toilet paper on your know.

I actually liked that system very much. Next door is hostel with restaurant where one can have a breakfast for 159 baht, plenty of food options in Silom market nearby. Bit of walk from Patpong bars an to BTS but nothing to make you or your boy tired. Two 7/11 within 2 minutes walk.

Spacious room. The sofa in front of bed is something only 5 star hotels have. Can accommodate more than 2 people in room for sleeping.

But personally too far for me. I wouldn't want to walk that much back every night. I prefer 56 surawong, raya and ibis styles.

you sound like some of our boys.

I was lucky, one of boys I hosted there lives in condo nearby, another one has a motorbike so did not heard any complains

I agree about Ibis being cramped. I will only stay there if I want to use the swimming pool

to be fair I was impressed how  well such small room was organized. Best value for hotel with pool in the area seems to be Trinity Silom but it's generation since I stay there last time

The annoying thing with Trinity is that everything is in different buildings, you need voutures for everything and too many security barriers ... Butbpool is very nice and price is low.

I think Rose Hotel is another cheap option with pool. But of course it is rather old.

I used to always stay at the Rose back in the early 2000s, and it was old even then!

But it could still be an option for some, as it's close to the action and the pool is great.

I wonder if those 3 women are still working there? I believe they were sisters. They were very accomodating regarding my visitors. On the odd occasion the guy did not have ID, they would interrogate him before deciding if I should take him to the room. If I returned to the hotel alone, they would ask : 'you don't have friend tonight?'  Lol

If you think that was old, my first stay there was in 1980! This is the pool in the old hotel with the excellent restauant Ruen Urai at the end. 

Now there is also The Rose Residence. Its entrance is on the left as you approach Ruen Urai. I believe The Residence also has its own roof top pool. Rates presently seem to be around US$100 - $110.

I stayed at the Rose on my first Bangkok trip in 1988, the rooms were very basic but the restaurant downstairs served up some very nice food and the staff were very good and helpful. For me, I like the Raya but every time I go online to check on booking them it either says no rooms available (unless I book at least 6 months in advance) or the price is up a bit too high. I liked the Tarntawan of old but my last stay there the aircon was all screwed up, literally water coming out of it and all the maintenance staff did was to keep mopping it up plus the thermostat was stuffed and it was freezing cold as there was no way to adjust the temperature on it. I don't mind the Ibis at all, yes the rooms may be a bit small but then I'm not there to dance around a big room, it has a very basic gym which is OK and the pool is a positive for me and add to that the food and staff were good too. Location wise I also liked the Ibis, next trip (most likely second half of 2026) will either be Ibis or Tarntawan.

The Rose Residence  is very nice. I have a view of the rooftop pool from my room at Le Meredien,  and though small, I have never seen anyone in it!

I think people dont like being watched from Le Meridien hotel rooms
