Essentials

ibis Bangkok Siam is a simple, newly renovated hotel at 927 Rama 1 Road. Accor puts National Stadium BTS station 30 m away, a one-minute walk, and describes Siam as one BTS stop beyond.

The hotel has 189 rooms and sits on the western end of the Siam shopping strip. For anyone planning to use the BTS daily, the station is practically at the door.

Overview

Rooms are small: about 17 m2, for up to three guests, in double and twin layouts, with one room type set aside for accessibility. That is enough for a bed, a desk and a bathroom, not for spreading out. The hotel’s website lists air conditioning, Wi-Fi and a non-smoking policy throughout.

The surprise is the top of the building. A rooftop pool and gym on the 29th floor give the hotel more than most hotels at this level, and the pool has panoramic views over the city. Guests who want an afternoon swim after sightseeing do not need to look elsewhere.

Compared with the other hotels around the station in hotels near BTS and train stations, ibis is the plainer option, with rooms that suit one or two people for a few nights better than a month.

Pets are welcome, which is unusual for a hotel in this part of the city.

Tip: The pool and gym are on the 29th floor, so ask for a room on a higher floor if you plan to use them daily.

Food and drink

The Eight

The Eight is the on-site restaurant. It serves the ibis buffet breakfast, which Accor calls the hotel’s signature, with international, Asian and Thai dishes.

For other meals, MBK Center and Siam Paragon are a few minutes away on foot, and the streets around Siam Square have small restaurants at a range of sizes.

Amenities

The rooftop pool and gym on the 29th floor are the main facilities. There is a car park on site, and the hotel is listed as wheelchair accessible, with an accessible room type.

Accor also lists a shuttle service, though the page gives no route or schedule. The BTS is 30 m away, so most guests will not need one.
