1. relatively good location becuse it is walking distance ( about 5 mins) near the places/shops one would want to go to-- Gaysorn/Zen/Central World/Isetann for the upscale shops, and Pratunam market and sidestreet night markets for the bargains
the carpet is old ( definitely needs to be changed )
the elevator badly needs improvement as the wood panels are coming off
there's a certain negative smell inside the room
This is my 3rd trip to Bangkok, and my firt time to stay at this hotel ( the first two at Baiyoke Sky and Arnoma Hotel). Definitely a "value for money" hotel, i cant complain too much. Location is really great as it is in near ( 5 to 10mins walking distance) the the upscale malls ( Zen, Gaysorn, Central, Isetann), supermarket ( Big C), money changer shop ( Super rich- offers good rates) and bargain areas ( Pratunam market and sidestreet night markets), as well as the BTS . If you expect to be out most of the day ( shopping, sight-seeing )and just need a decent place to sleep/rest at night, then this is an acceptable place for you. Believe it or not,( minus the ambiance) i enjoyed the breakfast here better than in Arnoma.
However, i personally would not check-in here if i'm with my daughter, as i feel the environment is not child- friendly ( carpets look really worn-out) and the surroundings outside are not really pleasant. I checked-in here with a female cousin, and we are just out to shop early for christmas gifts.
Shopping Tip : cheaper to shop in the night market sidestreets along Pratunam (pratunam market)and along Arnoma hotel/Gaysorn area rather than Chatuchak! believe it or not! You just have to know how to haggle nicely for good deals. dont eat in the sidestreets as looks dirty; much better to eat in the food court in Big C ( 4th level), reasonable price and definitely more safe/clean

A bit old and tired, the hotel not me. As long as you are not looking for a flash trendy hotel this place is good, everything is nearby, shopping, restaurants, transport. Downside is the hotel is not maintained adequately, it's a bit old and tired, a little money spent on it would go a long way. But don't let that put you off after all how much time do you actually spend in the room
Nightlife Tip : Don't go to the local bar/clubs go to a reputable one

Best location.
Friendly staff.
Safe.
More English channels on TV.
Need to replace the carpet in some of the areas.
Breakfast area gets very crowed sometimes. I have been to Bangkok several times and stayed at more well known places. This was my first stay at BK city Inn and I was traveling alone this time. I was worried about the safety and cleanliness before I get there. However it was above my expectations and had no problem at all during my 5 days stay. It is located right opposite the Centralworld and Internet Cafe of Thailand Tourism Bureau & Foreign Currency Exchange is just across the road.
Shopping Tip : Across the road, Internet Cafe run By Thai Tourism Office charges much lower compare to other places around this area.

Convenient location but not facing to a busy road, hence quiet enough. The room floor carpet looked old.
Close to all you need: large SC, stations, restaurants, foot massage and money changers. The dinner dishes at the hotel were excellent also. We stayed at a deluxe twin bedroom with an extra single bed. The room size was not so large but just good enough. The bathroom, towels, sheets were clean.

The staff were courteous, hotel room was great. The air-con was running in good condition. The breakfast was just nice. They have porridge as well as noodles and toasted bread. We loved the surroundings attraction. Such as the River Cruise, big shopping complexes, day and night markets and food stalls are plentiful even in the middle of the night. Catching a Taxi is easy if u do not want to walk to the BTS which is about 10 minutes walk. Great stay at Bangkok City Inn Hotel.
My wife and I just came back from a two days stay. The staff were courteous, hotel room was great. The air-con was running in good condition. The breakfast was just nice. They have porridge as well as noodles and toasted bread. We loved the surroundings attraction. Such as the River Cruise, big shopping complexes, day and night markets and food stalls are plentiful even in the middle of the night. Catching a Taxi is easy if u do not want to walk to the BTS which is about 10 minutes walk. My family will certainly choose Bangkok City Inn Hotel should we go to Bangkok for holidays again. James Sim and Irene Tai.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Pratunam Shopping Centre is just 2 minutes walk. River Cruise is just door steps away. Night market is also door steps away

location is very good for shopping The location is very good for shopping if you want to save accommodation cost.
But it's really not clean enough and the hotel is very old.
All staff are very nice.
Shopping Tip : Just close to Big C and Central world.

very good location for shopping! but if you want to go somewhere else,you have to bear the heavy heavy traffic jam! the hotel is very very old, rooms are a little shabby. staff is OK, breakfast is so so. Shopping Tip : actually I find Isetan just opposite BigC is much better than CentralWorld,Zen.

-Near shopping area
-Cheap - Room is smelly and dirty Staff are not very courteous and helpful. The room is small dark and smelly. Especially the carpet, it is sticky and dirty. The shower head is fixed to the wall and the towels provided are not clean, you will still be able to see some stains on it. But it is very near the pratunam area and platinum shopping centre.

Reasonable, good location The hotel is old - but enough for the price Location is good - near to the station and center of downtown. This hotel is good for those who do not want to spend a lot of money for just sleeping, but want to stay at the center of city.
This hotel is on a small street and my taxi driver lost his way, so I recommend printing out a map of this hotel in advance in order to show it to a taxi driver.

Location is extremely close to major shopping areas and also 10 mins walk to the BTS(tube) station. Room looked aged but for a holiday where shopping was the order of the day (and night), it does well. The hotel's located in one of the soi's (streets) just opposite from Central World shopping centre. What this means is that the location is great for shopperholics heading to BKK!
Its also a 5 mins walk to Platinum mall (ladies fashion mall), Panthip Plaza (IT mall), pratunam area (more shopping), Zen complex.
Its also about 10 mins walk to the nearest BTS station - Chit Lom. This is essential if you're on a budget as the taxi rides can become costly and time consuming in the traffic jams that seem to go on throughout the day.
Overall, an excellent hotel for those heading to BKK for a shopping trip.

The location of the hotel is really good, 5 minutes by walk to Big C supermarket and Central world. But the rooms and all the facilities are old. The bedding and bathtub are not clean enough. The daily breakfast is not good, not too many choices. The service is so so. You can ask the hotel to find a taxi for you if you want to go out, but the price is much higher than outside.
Shopping Tip : 5 minutes by walk to central world.

Helpful concierge.
Well ventilated rooms.
Efficient room services.
Clean toilets. Bangkok City Inn is situated in a favourable spot in the city. It is located near many big shopping centres like the Big C, Central World, Siam Paragon and so on. This probably is the strongest point about the hotel. Despite the small rooms, the hotel meets all the necessarry needs of the visitors and provided us with a good rest in the night. The staff is also very helpful, making our stay a pleasant one.
