Grand Tower Inn Rama VI

Mats said, "We enjoid our stay at Grand Tower Inn very much. The hotel was clean, had a friendly and professional staff and the food, breakfast and dinner, was superb. All at a very reasonable price. Next time in Bangkok we will look for a room at GTI."

Mr said, "the hotel is above 3 star, facility generally are good, location is a bit far to the downtown city, taxi about 60-90bath, but if go to chatukchak market is very near just maybe 50bath only. outside the hotel have 1 thai restaurant, the food is very good, and another 1 is the convenient store. the hotel is very clean and well maintenance and staff are helpful & friendly. the bad is the room extra pillow have to charge 100bath per pc, i think is a bit crazy price..."

Neal said, "Hotel older and impersonal. Lifts slow and non-airconditioned. Several conferences at the time of our stay made this situation worse. Ensure you get a business card from Hotel as there are 3 Grand Tower Inns in Bangkok. Found breakfast the best meal at the hotel. Lunch and Dinner buffets were very Asian taste orientated. Would probably stay somewhere else next time."

Mor said, "very recomended!we enjoyed very much our stay in the hotel"

mark said, "everything was ok with the hotel until we checked out. We had to leave a 2000 Baht deposit. Upon leaving i was told to pay 600 Baht for the extra bed. I booked a triple and informed them of this. After a few minutes they changed their mind and pointed to a sheet that was stained pink. I was told to pay 600 Baht for this sheet. I argued that my sheets had holes from smokers of which i did not complain. And here they are accusing me of staining their sheet. They would only want to refund 1400 Baht, charging 600 Baht for the sheet. They finally reduced this amount to 200 baht. I wanted to keep the sheet so that they could not steal money from other guests. They refused.I m most disappointed with this scam!"

Lottie said, "Pros about Grand Tower Inn Rama VI: Newer hotel. We one smaller bed.) Enclosed parking if you have a car/rental. Next door are a couple of restaurants and a laundry place -- 12 pieces for 35 baht. The hotel spa & pool are nice and fairly priced (about $3 to use the spa each day) CONS: Had to ask for microwave day of arrival even though it was supposed to already be in the room. Con #2: Location - not as close to Chatuchat Weekend Market and airport as you d think from the write-up...you cannot walk it - takes about 15-30 minutes drive time for each depending on time of day. Con #3: Many days, only got amenities like towels for two instead of triple. Con #4: They nickel & dime you for everything. When I checked out, they charged me for a small plastic tray and 3 small drinking glasses that they claimed should have been in the room. They also charged me when my 2 local family members visited the room -- assuming they dimed me -- checkout took over 30 minutes. I tried to explain but the language barrier was hard for them -- almost missed my flight because of the hotel. Last CON: there are only 2 elevators -- and 90% of time - you wait 5 to 10 minutes to use it. If there s a medical emergency -- you will be in trouble with this delay. Older folks and those with health issues should avoid this hotel as a precaution in my opinion. I was worried as I travelled with mother who has a heart condition.Note that I have travelled to Bangkok four times now, and have tried other hotels there. My judgement is based on other Thai hotels, and I think Grand Tower Inn Rama VI is more for Korean group travel who are there for quick stops."

Stephen said, "The Grand Tower Inn on Rama 6 is a short taxi ride (100thb) from the centre and is situated around a pleasant 15 minute walk away from the BTS Skytrain (which is a very useful and cheap way to get around the suburbs of Bangkok (although I did find myself getting a Tuck Tuck or taxi bike to cover this distance from time to time which only cost between 10 - 20thb)max. Turn right out of the hotel and take the first roght folowing the road all the way to the top. There you will find the Skytrain overhead and can go either left or right. Ari seems ther most popular choice and costs around 25 - 30thb per journey.The Hotel is also not far from the excellent Chatachack market which I thoroughly recommend! The Hotel itself is well maintained and should you have a problem it is dealt with efficiently and quickly, (although when phoning down to reception, I did find myself being passed around on occasion to someone who had a better grasp of English - but this isn t necessarily a criticism! The main bulk of visitors at this hotel (atleast when I this was reflected quite noticably in the breakfast menu which although quite extensive, had a minimalistic approach to western tastes. However, I found that one of the three cerals on offer along with some eggs and french toast proved more than adiquate for the seven days that I tidy and quite modern and having 23 floors, offer excellent views of the city. They have a pool on the roof too, which is much better than ground level as it prohibits noise quite satisfactorly. In short, this is good hotel for first time visitors to stay in and I found everyone to be helpful, including the taxi operators out front, who will always make sure that the driver knows exactly where you want to go as they don t always speak any english. Never had any problems though! Good Hotel - go stay!"

William said, "Great Hotel, Great Service !!"

Carrie said, "Very nice. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Daily breakfast buffet was plenty and very delicious. Staff service was excellent. Only drawback is location - you need to take a taxi there from the nearest skytrain or subway station."

Wong said, "The Grand Tower Inn was much better than what was advertised on the net. Good points: Staff were friendly, helpful and courteous. Service was prompt and efficient. When we checked into our room we found that there wasn t a microwave oven as promised when we made the booking. One was sent to our room within minutes! On the second day, there was an electrical fuse which knocked out the microwave oven and the bathroom light. The technician came and fixed the problem within minutes! Room is spacious and nice, and bathroom is clean.Negative points: For a hotel this size (over 20 floors of rooms) only TWO medium-sized lifts are available to ferry guests. It took us AGES to get to the lobby in the morning as the lift stopped at practically EVERY floor to pick up guests. And woe begone if you forgot something and had to go back to your room!!! I shudder to think what can happen if there was an emergency and we have to be evacuated by the lifts!!! The other negative aspect of this hotel is that the moment you arrive, you have to climb a couple of steep flights of steps to get to the lobby. Not very people-friendly, I m afraid! I feel for those elderly who have heart or leg problems. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this hotel to others."

QC said, "This is my second visit to Thailand and on both occassion Tower Inn. We re very satisfied with our room which is clean and spacious. The hotel staffs are friendly and helpful. Hotel facilities are good; gym is located on the 23rd floor and have a spectacular view of Bangkok skyline. We ll definitely stay at GTI if we re visiting Bangkok again."

Robert said, "Nothing can beat this hotel for the price. While it is a little away from downtown, we liked being where we were. The staff was helpful in assisting us in finding some nice places to visit and eat. The swimming pool on the roof was fun as well. Thanks so much."

Yvonne said, "We Tower Inn Rama VI for 2 nights(Junior Suite) and it was a very nice experience for a budget hotel. The room was clean and spacious, with a living room and a small kitchen, worth it! We ard room, it was much smaller. As for the location, this hotel is very near chatuchak weekend market, by cab or tuktuk. We did try othogor wet market opposite chatuchak. We bought back alot of cheap local food and enjoyed them in the hotel. The distance to MBK, Siam Centre area from the hotel took about 10-15 mins drive. When returning to the airport, we took a meter cab infront of this hotel, and cost about THB180 including the toll fee THB20. It s cheaper than any limousine service."
