“Affordable hotel for traveler with pets”

I stayed for 2 nights after a big cat show in Nonthaburi. Affordable stay for travelers with pets. Just make sure to remind the Front Desk Staff to clean your room, because they won't clean your room even if you hang the sign on your door.

I stayed for 2 nights after a big cat show in Nonthaburi. Affordable stay for travelers with pets. Just make sure to remind the Front Desk Staff to clean your room, because they won't clean your room even if you hang the sign on your door. There's also a number of restaurants around the hotel should you have a late-night craving (Japanese, Indian, and shabu shabu) and also a 7-Eleven for a quick bite. Traffic can be pretty heavy in the area especially during rush hour, so plan your shopping trips ahead and leave early.

“Not Quite The Ibis I was Expecting.”

Positive : A 10 minute walk from Lumphini MRT station* on the Blue Line and pretty much everything one would expect from the Ibis Red Brand. Comfortable twin room with extra pillow.

Positive : A 10 minute walk from Lumphini MRT station* on the Blue Line and pretty much everything one would expect from the Ibis Red Brand. Comfortable twin room with extra pillow. Clever open plan furniture configuration with fridge and mini safe. Good Wifi, AC, ensuite, TV with 100s of Multi Language Channels. Reasonable city views on higher floors. Onsite breakfast, bar, restaurant and self collect room service options. The rear street has multiple food outlets plus a handy 24H 7-11. Out of Lumphini MRT station, (exit 2,) is a small, (albeit soul-less,) food mall under a major bank HQ skyscraper, which also includes a Starbucks and a Boots pharmacy. One metro stop to Silom = Patpong Night Market, Street food and bars. (Several indoor AC foodcourts if you prefer.) 4 stops to Wat Mangkon = China Town. 1 more stop to Sam Yot then a 30 min walk, (or 10 min Tuk Tuk,) to the legendary Khaosan Road. Negatives : *There is no mention of the free shuttle service, (running hourly until 16.30,) to both the local MRT & BTS stations. Again, at check in, no mention of the free shuttle service. (Identical issue at Ibis Saigon Airport - 12/12/23.) Why aren't Accor making more of this ? - "The shuttle will leave in 30 minutes. Please enjoy a cool happy hour beer in our bar, & we'll call you for departure !" (£ $ € !) There is only ONE very badly designed double 2 pin socket in the room, and It's impossible to use both outlets simultaneously with 2x standard sized U.K. adaptors. The USB socket next to the bed had barely enough charge to restart the heart of a dying butterfly. In honour of Bangkok's notable NYE fireworks display, the ensuite shower also switched seamlessly between hot and cold in precise 20 second cycles. I've been an Accor Member for a decade. Uniquely, I was asked to pay a 1000 Baht, (£23,) security deposit at this hotel. I have never paid such a deposit at a single Accor hotel before. This deposit was not listed on their website when I booked. It also raises a red flag about potential problems at this hotel. I believe this sum would severly hamper the spending plans of someone travelling on a tight cash budget. (Cash is refunded after check-out if originally paid in cash.) Imagine anyone 1000 Baht "light" on their "last night" in the city, flying early the next morning. I found it odd that Accor members, with a long and proven booking history, would even be asked for this deposit.
