Grande Centre Point Hotel - Thailand/Bangkok

Really a service aparment cum hotel, Centre Point is nicely tucked away in a corner off Ratchadamri Road.
5 mins walk away from the famous 4 face buddha temple. A good indication of it's great central location.

Hotel: Grande Centre Point Ratchadamri Hotel
Star: 4
Feels like: 4.5


Pros:

I paid USD$100 per night for Room, Internet, Breakfast + All surcharges & Taxes.
The hotel paid special attention to arriving guest, a welcome drink is nothing special, but coming in from the Airport where air is fresh and clean to the city of Bangkok where everything is in a "organised mess" with the air, not so welcoming. So yes, the citrus flavoured juice did wake me up a little and was pleasant.

As this is my first stay in the hotel, they asked me to fill up a form (reads: long detailied form of particulars), but i was spared the chore with a friendly conciege lady that only needed my namecard as she volunteered her service.

The room was a surprise! Full glass window unfolds as i push aside the wooden folding windows. The view i had was great. Overlooking a golf course and a swimming pool.
It came with a little kitchen too (being a service apartment), couple with washing machine, coffee maker and a regular family size fridge.

Internet came free (as a package) and it was uber fast. The login page auto saved my password and i have zero problem with the net nor VPN.

Every morning it comes with international papers and a fruit platter. How sweet for the fruit platter.

You get unlimited coffee, tea, water, juice at the reception and it's really "Free Flow".
If you have friends in Thailand, you can sit and relax in the lobby, have a cup of coffe or two and just chat.

Level 7 of the hotel comes with a huge play room. Rubber mat, full of toys, steralized and wiped clean everynight for your kids to play in while you relax in the library just opposite the playroom watching TV or reading a book yet, still in full view of your kids playing, minus the noise and scream cut off by the two doors.

Gym and swimming pool are nothing to shout about.


Cons:

Maybe because it is a service apartment? The lobby and main walkways are in hard finishes. Ceramic / Homogenous tiles.

No carpet finish, thus a hard feel. When you walk down the walkway, your footsteps echoes and it gets pretty unpleasant if you are sleeping in the room, although not that loud.

The convinent store also closes early and if you need anything, it's 5mins walk away to the main shopping area. Not that far, but it'll be great if the store close later.
That's about it.

Every other thing about this experience was positive!

Upon check out, they even checked my room and picked up my adapter for me, quite nice of them, but they are probably checking if i took anything from the minibar.

A really good place to stay, for work and for play.
Quite a self contained hotel.

I rate it 8 out of 10.
