Chaophya Park, Bangkok

I stayed in Chaophya Park, August 2007, along with 20 other family members. I had decided to get married in Phuket and thought it would be nice to have a few days in Bangkok to show familiy how fantastic the city is. I have visited Bangkok many times, but on this occassion had the daunting task of trying to find a hotel that would meet the requirements of all party members. Chaophya Park did just that!
On arrival into Bangkok the 22 strong ...
...First impressions were very good. The staff on the reception desk were extremley helpful and managed to allocate all the room keys with no problems.
The room itself was very impressive we had a deluxe room. It was large, clean and had all the little extras like tea/coffee making facilities, tolitories in the bathroom and dressing gown.
Facilities in the hotel include, a swimming pool. The pool is fairly small, but dduring our stay there ... more

On arrival into Bangkok the 22 strong party were whisked away to our first hotel, Chaophya Park. First impressions were very good. The staff on the reception desk were extremley helpful and managed to allocate all the room keys with no problems.
The room itself was very impressive we had a deluxe room. It was large, clean and had all the little extras like tea/coffee making facilities, tolitories in the bathroom and dressing gown.
Facilities in the hotel include, a swimming pool. The pool is fairly small, but dduring our stay there we never saw anybody else use it. There are a few sunloungers for those who like to catch some sun. There is also a small bar and a number of restaurants.
Breakfast (which was included in the price) was in the style of a buffet. There was a mixture of hot and cold foods and fresh juices to choose from.
There is a small shop outside the hotel which sells drinks, snacks at a much lower price than from the room mini bar.

The location of the hotel is a little further out of the centre of Bangkok than I would normally opt for, but the subway (MRT) made up for this. The subway was approx 10 minute walk from the hotel and for a small fee (10 Bahts) the main tourist areas ie Sukhumvit could be reached in about 15 mins (much quicker than a taxi)

If you are looking for an affordable hotel that does not compremise on standards and don't mind being in a quiet location then this is a good choice. I would stay here again if I was travelling with children or a large group.
