Handy to the sky train, hospital and other spots on my itinerary
Clean, efficient service Neither classic nor modern, the hotel is just itself - not such a terrible weakness in my book The staff were friendly and welcoming - I had a late check in and a late check out - both were accomodated with ease and grace. With an advance call, the late check out was pre-approved at no additional cost - and unlike some places I have stayed, housekeeping DID clean the room and restock the linens and water even though I was checking out late - which was much appreciated. The room had what was expected in it - a lot of the fixtures and decor are neither new nor classic, but it was clean, comfortable and spacious. The bed was soft and comfy, the tub filled up quickly with nice hot water (always a must in the tropics!), there was a safe and a minibar in the room. I did not try the restaurant. There was no smell of fresh roast coffee to draw me in in the morning, and so I wasn't especially tempted.

Decor was nice and clean.
Good customer service.
Internet cost was very high. Other hotels in the nearby area have free Internet.
The whole hotel (both the lobby, restaurant, and suites) was very clean and the decor was nice. The customer service was very good; they were friendly and helpful with answering questions. Most spoke good English. The location was a few minutes walk from the skytrain, so it was very convenient. If you like Japanese food, nearby were many Japanese restaurants.
Unfortunately, Internet cost was very high. The room cost was also expensive, in comparison with many other hotels in the area.
Overall, I would give this hotel a good rating.
Restaurant Tip : Lots of Japanese restaurants nearby, if you like it.

Big room, 2 bottled of water with free charge, light , enough space room, amenity is there (soap, tooth brush etc) Hotel located near by Pronpone BTS station, but it is little bit confuse. If you go first time , plese see map with carefully. This hotel located very convenient place near by BTS Prompone station. 2 Convenience store are there next the station, 7eleven and family mart . It takes few minute from station to hotel. If you invite girl friend to your room, she need showing ID to hotel front. ( Free of JF.)

the hotel was very clean and the staff were very friendly. The service was excellent. A litle far out although it wsn't far from the skytrain. I enjoyed my stay at the Imperial Tara Hotel although it is not the most convenient hotel I have stayed in in Bangkok. The facilities were good and well maintained. If you want a really lively hotel this is not for you. A nice quiet hotel.

Very close to BTS (Sky Train) station, Phrom Phong
Hotel staff very warm & friendly
Spacious room - bathtub, hair dryer, kettle in room.
Very nice pool The Imperial Tara is a bit dated, but all amenities, facilites are present and functional. The staff is very warm and friendly. Makes you feel completely at home. It is very close to BTS (Sky Train) station, Phrom Phong. The standard room is spacious. Has a bathtub, hair dryer, and electric kettle in room. They were very open to switching our room to the other side, since we didn't like the view so much.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : There is a cute little internet cafe, cum coffee shop, cum tour agency, cum flower shop right next to the hotel - the first shop on the left on exiting the hotel.

New room has very nice design. Very expensive internet charge. Better to stay at other hotel if need internet access. This hotel is one of the best service hotel in Bangkok with this price. Very easy to access the shopping mall Emporium and skytrain station. Easy to go to Siam square area for new shopping district. Very nice swimming pool and spa. 24 hours room service is very helpful for busy business trip or even holiday trip. New renovated room has very good design and clean.
Internet access fee is very bad expensive. Need pay 50% more room rate for internet access only per day. Not good for business trip even holiday trip with laptop PC. Internet charge makes loosing customer of this hotel but hotel never understand it.
Big noise from the hallway with kids screaming and play around 11pm. Claimed hotel but they never do nothing. Kids stayed playing hall way until midnight with screaming.

Nice hotel. Would need some improvements.After that a four-star hotel. Only one restaurant open. No mangos or mango juice available although mango is always in season in Thailand.

Fine for our personal purpose of the trip (privare, near our friends).

Warm service, specially the reception staff. Good value and easy access to BTS The hotel is old but nevertheless well maintained The front desk staff and supervisor were efficient, warm and welcoming. I arrived early in the morning and without any hesitancy they gave me an early check-in. I was seated for the check-in process which took no longer for me to finish a cool welcome drink. Soon after entering my room another great drink, a fresh coconut this time, followed and was most refreshing. Everyone was eager to assist and show me the way. There is no denying that the hotel has been a round for a while, but its remains well kept, clean and comfortable. The amenities are standard but what can you ask for $48 a night. No more than 10 minutes walk takes you to the nearest BTS station which connects you to everywhere you want to go in Bangkok. Good shopping and the Japanese shopping enclave is also just around the BTS station. A park is nearby too if you want a stroll.
Shopping Tip : check out the Japanese shops at the streets near the Phrom Phong Station and the second hand bookstore on Sukhumvit. Also the DVD shop at the Phrom Phong Station--it has a lot of new Japanese movies for a good price.

Good room size, location close to skyline, general facilities - pool good size Appearance a bit dated, internet access expensive, shared balcony
We stayed at the imperial tara on 2 occasions and were generally happy with the happy with the hotel. We chose to spend most of our time in the city centre as there wasn't much to do in the local area. It is close to the skytrain. We would stay here again if we came back to Bangkok.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : If coming from the airport then get a taxi as it is only fractionally more expensive than the bus
