Pleasant Stay, Value for Money
Despite being a rather old hotel, the facilities are still well maintained and the staff are extremely polite, as is the case for most Thai service staff. The breakfast had a good selection. But what stood out was almost every taxi driver seem to know this hotel landmark without much prompting, unlike other obscure hotels or international chains with names that Thai drivers have difficulty understanding, which can be quite frustrating if you trying to be understood standing by a busy road - most drivers will just outright refuse to send you to your destination, or may quote a fixed rate instead of going by metered fare. Which brings us to this point - always ask for metered fare. Even with the announced increase in metered fare in late-2014, the rate is still incredibly affordable and dare I say - dirt cheap. Drivers may quote you a fixed rate if they anticipate traffic jam but do not accept anything more than THB200 rate. Don't worry, the next taxi is always less than 2 mins away in Bangkok. Back to Holiday Inn (Silom) - I will still be staying with them the next time I visit Bangkok again. Incredibly value for money.
