The hotel, though a bit old, was good value for money. We only paid SGD70 per room per night (2 persons to 1 standard room), and that works out to about USD20 per person per night! The rooms (we took 2 rooms) were clean and bright. Each room had provided one safe deposit box and a hair dryer. The others were the basic stuff, eg. TV, mini fridge, etc... Breakfast at the Tivoli Coffee House was ok. P.S. The tap water is not safe for consumption, but the hotel has installed a small "Drinking Water Tap" in the bathroom. We drink from this tap and fill our water bottles from it everyday, and the water is perfectly clean and safe. None of us suffered a tummy upset.
Unique Qualities: The best thing about this hotel is its connecting sky bridge to a BTS station (Ratchathewi Station)... We took the skytrain to most of the places we wanted to visit, it was cheap, fast and convenient. Sure beats getting stuck in Bangkok's notorious traffic jams! The Ratchathewi station is about 1-2 stops away from the Siam area and Chit Lom area. The hotel's location (away from the more "touristy" hotel places, eg. the Baiyoke area, Eastin/D'Ma area, etc) also meant that we encountered less touts and unscrupulous tuk-tuk drivers. During my last stay at the Baiyoke Sky, it was virtually impossible to get a cab or tuk-tuk who wouldn't try to scam you...the situation here at the Asia Hotel is much better (no harassment from touts)!

We stayed in Baiyoke Sky for 3 nights. The room was big and comfortable, but the view was so-so (our room was on the 23rd floor, considered low for this 78 storey hotel!). The staff were very friendly, and the buffet breafkfast is good, with a huge selection of food. Must try the massage and spa! I went for the aromatherapy spa package, and it was cheap and good! Hotel guests are entitled to discount, and if I am not wrong, the spa center offers 50% discount for bookings in the mornings.
Unique Qualities: Good breakfast buffet spread!
