Centre Point Plus Hotel Silom

Great for families, beautiful pool, play areas, and also close to the boat. Everything was perfect

Excellent stay. We had a family suite which was very spacious. 2 bedrooms back to back, plus kitchenette, seating area, dressing room and large bathroom. It was very well equipped. Washing machine plus detergent; bottled water and krups coffee; bathroom had Japanese toilet and all the toiletries: shampoo, shower gel, moisturiser, plus dental kits, shave kits etc. Everything you could need! And if you forgot anything you're opposite a 7/11 and connected to Robinsons Bangrak mall which has Starbucks, McDonald's, food court. Hotel staff were friendly and kind. Pool area was nice and clean, and towels were supplied. We didn't eat at the hotel other than pool snacks but they were tasty. Gym was small but good and not too busy. Local area - lots of amenities mentioned above. 5 min walk to Sathorn Pier (where we hired long-tail boat and did canal tour; took orange line to Wat Pho, and shuttle to iconsiam). The sky train is also there. A few mins to Bang Rak Ma food market. Half hour walk to Chinatown and Patpong Market. Plenty in Bang Rak area including massage places, shops, bars, eateries. We had a brilliant stay and were super pleased with hotel, amenities and local area. My only small niggle would be the balcony, would never be allowed in the UK and gave me the worries as a parent! Tip, if you're staying with kids in family suite, put them in the double bed and keep the kitchenette and seating area so you have the use of these, rather than waiting for them to get up!

The family and I were transiting through Bangkok on our way to Cambodia and needed a place to stay 3 nights. Centre Point Plus Silom proved to be a bull's eye choice. Obviously, the accommodation scene in Bangkok is extremely competitive, and you can easily get lodging that's 3-4 times cheaper and still works for you. This review is written from the perspective of someone who just won't stay at a hostel, no matter how cheap, so it may not give a fair benchmark to someone who's traveling on a budget. The room we chose for our family of four was nicely perched almost at the top of the 25-story building. These days it doesn't sound like much, but the location of the hotel allows a brilliant, unobstructed view of the river towards Asiatique, and also at least partial view towards the center. One major boon of the location is that it's right next to Sathorn pier, which lets you hop on a boat rather that lose hours in traffic. Also, the hotel sits atop a shopping mall, so if you, say, forget to pack a nail clipper, like I always do, you have all the shops you may need across from the lobby. The room itself, as well as the entire hotel, is neatly renovated, but you can't escape the impression it's just old. But it is so in a good way. Comfort is often defined by space in places like hallways and lounges, and there's certainly plenty of space in the common areas of Centre Point Plus. As for the room, we did expect it to be spacious, since it's advertised as 90m2. This count, however, evidently did not include the humongous balcony, which overlooks two sides of the building, and adds probably more than 50% to said floor area. As for the facilities and amenities, it probably comes down to which room type you go for. However, it's worth noting that at least some have a Nespresso machine, which is so hard to come by in Thailand otherwise. All is clean, comes in adequate supply, and is good quality. Furniture seems to show up right where it's needed, storage is ample, unlike in more modern properties which insist you can hang all your clothes on a steel bar by the door. We booked with breakfast. And a very nice breakfast it was. Although it could be argued that all across Southeast Asia, breakfast just tends to be overwhelmingly good, since it has to cater to the different tastes of people from very different geographies. And so, you get all sorts of hot dishes, noodle and rice based stir fries, dumplings, soup, etc. for those who come from not that far away. Then, for the European palate, there's a very good choice of egg dishes you can order, cold cuts, veggies, cereals, you name it. And then, for the sweet tooth, pastries and fruit are also there in a good variety. Finally, service. Again, probably not something that will stand out so much in this part of the world, where everyone is simply so nice, but still, those guys certainly know the difference between delivering service and offering hospitality. And the hospitality they offer, and the sense of being welcome is omnipresent. Good job, Centre Point Plus Silom. I actually hope I get a chance to stay longer next time.
