Wow, this hotel really exceeded our expectations. Location was great , just opposite Star Bucks and MacDonalds so the kids and us loved it.
We usually book the usual 5 Star chain hotels and pay over the odds, but Holiday Inn really surprised us. It was modern and contemporay and very luxurious.

We booked a twin bed room for us to share with kids and were pleasantly surprised at the size of our room. However, I have to be honest and say that we did find rather a large cockroach in our bathroom which my husband swiftly flattened. I called the duty manager and with out any hesitation upgraded us to a suite! We were only there 2 nights but we had private lounge for our breakfast and private check in .

The hotel is extremely value for money and the location was excellent. We will definately stay in a holiday Inn again if they are to this standard in future.

What a great find! We (family of 4) stayed here for 6 nights. This was such a great hotel for many reasons.
Location - very central, Chitlom Skytrain station out the front. Walking distance to many shopping centres, Central World, Siam Square etc. This was great as you could duck out to the supermarket or food hall for supplies. There is also a Watsons and a Boots opposite.
Staff - plenty of them and all were very friendly and helpful. They made the stay very pleasant.
Facilities - well equipped gym and sauna. Pool was well used by us, but overall very quiet (even though it was the Easter weekend). There was always plenty of staff about, and it was spotless.
Restaurant - we had breakfast in Cafe G everyday (because it was included). It was sensational, with Japanese, Indian, Thai and Western stations. Great choices and cook to order. We also ate at Charm Thai - great food and terrific service - the staff gave us pashminas as we were cold under the aircon! Poolside food was good value - abour $6++AUD for satays. Room service from Charm Thai was deleivered promptly.
Room - was on a non-smoking floor (4). We had 2 rooms in 1. The main room had a king bed, tv, desk, sofa, bathroom etc etc. This was connected to the 2nd room (kids), which had bunks, desk, tv, playstation 2. Having all this space was fabulous and the rooms were well soundproofed. My only comment would be that the interconnecting door could be locked from the kids side and unable to be opened from our side - bit of an issue if you had little ones playing with the door. That was the only fault though.
As others have mentioned the bathroom is in a corner of the main room and is small - but how much time do you spend in there? It suited us to have a larger room and a smaller bathroom, but I can see why it is not everyones cup of tea. The toiletries (Red Earth) were replenished everyday.
Housekeeping and Laundry were great.
This was such a great stay, and as we were there for both business and pleasure it met all of our needs. I have stayed at 3 other Bangkok hotels, but this wins hands down for value.

This hotel was fantastic. Great price , Great Hotel. Clean, Nice large rooms, lovely bathroom, Nice Pool and Gym. The hotel staff could not do enough for you. The location was fantastic also very close to the sky train. The included breakfast was great so much choice. Next time I am in Bangkok I will definitely be staying here.

We have tried many hotels in Bangkok and it is usually a compromise on price/location/facilities. This time we tried the HI Ploenchit, having spotted it on a previous trip. This may well be our preferred choice for future visits: very good indeed.

Reception/check-in was fine, rooms (we stayed here twice at beginning and end of a Far East trip) were in the newer North Executive Tower and although smaller than many other hotels were perfectly adequate and well-furnished. Bathroom was small with just a walk-in shower and no bath but fine. Everything in the room worked - tea/coffee stuff provided. There is a pool area that doesn't get sun for much of the day and it was never crowded.

We had buffet breakfast included and this had very good choices with good attentive staff. Didn't use other restaurants - so much choice in Bangkok - but had drinks in the lobby lounge which were good.

We don't spend much time at the hotel in our stays in Bangkok and the HI is brilliantly situated for the central area, very close to Central World mall, walking distance from Paragon mall via elevated walkway and only yards from the Skytrain station. Perfect!

In an ideal world I'd stay at the lovely Peninsula but the saving in money and sheer convenience of the HI will make it our first choice in future. Recommended.
