De Botan Srinakarin Hotel & Residence

For a 3-star hotel you are getting what you pay for, which is not a bad thing! The rooftop pool was lovely and the water so lovely warm! It was so nice to start the day with a 7am dip in the pool. Yes there are works being done up there at the moment, but it wasn't intrusive. You also do get the noise of the busy roads from up there, but again, it's not intrusive. The room was large with a TV, good aircon and had everything you would need including a fridge, a safe, tea/coffee facilities. The bed was huge and both mattress and pillows comfy (mattress is on the firmer side). There was also a small balcony facing the highway, so not much of a view, but you could hang towels/wet clothes out there, which was handy. The bathroom was large, had a shower and provided shower gel etc. We didn't opt for breakfast to be included with the rooms but had it a couple of times and the omellette was delicious and good value for money - 175BHT for a set menu. Location-wise, there is a massive mall (Seacon Square) across the road from the front of the hotel, a 7/11 within less than 5min walk from rear of the hotel, street food options close by but most importantly, about 20min walk from Train Night Market Srinagarindra which was fabulous and a must-visit if staying in the area. The hotel is far from central but there is a BTS (or MRT) very close by. We were a group of 4 so used Bolt and/or Grab which worked out to be 250-380BHT one way for at least 40min drive to the city. Pretty good value if you're sharing the cost! So do download both of those apps if you're a group. Also, just an FYI, if the driver takes the expressway there will be tolls (either 25BHT or 50BHT) so ensure you have that in cash too. Lastly, the hotel staff are really lovely! One night we were having a few drinks downstairs and the security guard just came and gave us fruits which was a really lovely touch 😀

The hotel was fast to respond to emails with questions I had before we got there. No shuttle to airport but they can order a taxi for you it’s 500tbh and takes about 15/20 mins. Very helpful and clean. We arrived hours before check in and they were kind enough to allow us to leave bags and use the roof top pool and gave us towels. 7-11 up the road, and a mall opposite but not much else, it’s perfect for an over night stop before or after a flight. Would return here.

Just a perfect stay across from SEACON mall, and night market. That is why I choose this location. Plus BKK airport is only 20-30 minutes away, so easy in and easy out after meetings.

The location is perfect, a massive shopping centre within a few minutes walk, train night market within walking distance. The gym is adequate with a couple of cardio machines and separate dumbbell and bench. The pool is a lovely temperature, clean and inviting. Both pool and gym open 7am to 9pm. Lovely staff, cafe downstairs that provides nice coffee and cheap meals that were delicious. 7-Eleven and Lotus literally 2mins walk away. Rooms clean and a decent size, housekeeping comes whenever you leave your door sign up. For the price it's a good hotel with everything you need.

-Good size, modern room. -Decent gym, but it needs a pull-up bar :) -Nice pool -The restaurant downstairs charges local rates, very usable. -10 minutes walk from Seacon Mall. In this building, floors 1 to 5 are for residents and floors 7 to 8 are for hotel guests.
