Very comfortable and well-appointed for the price
Very comforable and spacious rooms
8.3
the hotel is well-located, adjacent to a major, upmarket shopping centre and a local market. it is also wihtin a very short walk to the very efficient underground railway system - the mrt. much easier to get around bangkok on the mrt than by surface transport. excellent breakfast.
Shopping Tip:
The hotel is located opposite a modern, upmarket shopping mall with well-priced boutiques. There's also a local market with a wide variety of Thai products, including clothing, and produce.

Comfortable Rooms close to MRT to town
Very comfortable rooms, close to shopping and local Thai dining options, easy to get to town by MRT

Booked the hotel again for a short stay. Rooms as usually very comfortable and clean, nice ambience. Like the hotel as it's close to 2 shopping malls (international as well as very local type). There is a few very local 'restaurants' along the main road that serve excellent Thai food at very affordable prices. The international shopping mall has also a number of really good food places with some of the chain type of restaurants serving surprisingly good quality food. A leisurely 10 minutes walk to the MRT station (most of it through the air-conditioned shopping center) makes it also very easy to get to town for more entertainment, shopping places and nightlife.
The hotel itself also has some really good restaurants. Tried the Japanese and the Thai place before. Both have sometimes offers for buffet style food, which offer a great opportunity to try to local Thai specialties or enjoy high class Japanese cuisine at affordable prices (though on the high side for locals).
Will surely return whenever business brings me to that part of town..
Restaurant Tip:
Venture outside the shopping center and dare to visit some of the small places along the main road in front of the shopping center. Though communication in English is very difficult, they do have menus in English and Thai where you can point to. Food is of good quality and prices are of course much lower than what you can find inside the shopping center. Service is general very friendly as what you expect from Thailand. I have not made a bad experience that any of those places tried to cheat me although I was the only foreigner there most of the times.

Convenient location for shopping and yet quiet
Hospitable staff, great buffet restaurant

Regardless of being right next to the shopping center, still was quiet and is a great location to stay.
Room was clean and comfortable. Even for a female traveller, felt safe and welcomed.

good faciity with bad staff
food location next to large shopping center

I was lucky that I happen to check in with my Thai friend. At first front staff picked up a room facing nosiy room facing highway. I was advised from my Thai friends that at the front, staff talked each other and picked up this room for me because I booked a room via Agoda in Thai. I requested another room, then staff told me to wait one hour. One hour later, staff said wait for one more hour. Then come back to front desk again, staff told me there is no room yet. I aked for room again. Then they said they found a room. I checked a room with my friends and found this room was ready even from in the morning. Lessons what I learned is whether I should book hotel via Agoda again or not. Because this was my second similar experience during my trip to Thailand.
Shopping Tip:
Central Plaza is good shopping center as well as convention facility.
hotel is renovated nicer than when it was operated by Sofitel.

Not Impressed
Easy access to Central, Shower

overall, i was not very impressed with this hotel. i was expecting a lot more considering the price and the centara name. i will not return.
pros: close to central ladprao shopping mall and the shower had very nice pressure. the decoration was modern and stylish. the bed was comfortable.
cons: room was smaller most hotels in this price range. no bath tub. the wifi in room was poor. the room service was average and over priced.
