Forum Park Hotel Bangkok

Always recommended! The Forum Park Hotel is my home each time I'm in BKK. For less than 900 B. it is good value, the breakfast offers many choices, fresh fruit, warm options. Several (English) movie channels for entertainment when you're in. It is not in the tourist area. If you want to be close to any tourist area this might not be for you. If you enjoy not being in the tourist area and know how to travel within BKK this is a good hotel. Outdoor swimming pool, Macro (wholesale supermarket) next door, many great street eating places on Chan Road (turn right on Chan Rd and walk 5-10 mins, they open until early in the morning). To get to the Skytrain take a taxi from the hotel or bus number 77 on the main road (not Chan Rd but the big one outside Macro), alternatively use the motorbike service to Chong Nonsi for 30 B or the new Bus System (also from the big road, you see the separate bus lanes and stations with bridges) for 10 B to the last stop near Chong Nonsi.

At 14 pounds the hotel offered pretty good value. The room was large, the air con quiet yet very effective, with little balcony, free movie channels, large bathroom. Free breakfast was decent and Western food enthusiasts should like it, some fresh fruit for healthy guests, too. 7/11 in walking distance, Skytrain is not close, either get a taxi or enjoy the walk along the main road, passing the fantastic Makro supermarket! If you prefer to avoid the tourist center and know your way around BKK this hotel is a good deal. Taxi from BKK airport to hotel was around 240B plus road toll (25+45B.), always insist on the meter!

Swimming pool & sauna were the absolute 'hits' in Homduang Hotel. Breakfast buffet would have been OK, but many items were not refilled within 10-20 min waiting period. Coffee Shop was empty every evening and you would have expected thus fast service. It took exactly 1 hour to get the food after ordering. Staff (reception / housekeeping / at the pool / consierge) polite & efficient. Location is odd! You need a taxi to go wherever. There is almost nothing in walking distance, except some restaurants.

The finalpayment was unpleasant. The invoice, received from otel Club, stated the price in USD, but they want me to pay in Thai Baht, for which they used a ridiculous exchange rate. When I insisted on paying the remaining balance in USD, they said that they had no change in USD and would need to give me the change in Thai Baht, again using a ridiculous exchange rate. This was a very unpleasant experience and it took me 30 minutes until they agreed at least to use an exchange rate that was closer to the official baqnk rate of the same day.

Very nice hotel and we enjoyed our stay.

Staff very friendly and helpful. It was very nice to have a massage centre in the hotel. Generally it was very nice to stay in. I am going back again which is a good sign

The management of Forum Park was very helpful and kind. Room service and laundry service was excellent. I only wish they would have accepted American Express travellers' checques since they are accepted worldwide. In all, our stay with Forum Park was very good.

The quality of service especially housekeeping was excellent and the price that I got on the internet was very good. I reccommend this hotel to anyone who wants to stay near the Silom or Siam area.
