MOLD and BUG infested
If I can, I would put Negative Stars.
Stay here if you wish to live with bugs, roaches and breath in mold. My family and I got so sick. Our entire vacation consisted of vomiting and sleepless nights. Even the manager went to room and confirm the terrible stench coming from the mold. After many complaints we changed 3 rooms in our 4 nights stay. But all the rooms, including the deluxe rooms are in such horrible condition. There are much better hotels in much better locations. I have stayed in some terrible places before even places in the middle of no where of Kazakhstan and Urumchi. But this is the worse.
BE WARNED! DO NOT STAY HERE FOR YOUR HEALTH'S SAKE!

Watch your valuables!
Price without robbery is good, location to sky train good, rooms unsafe. Do not stay at Asia Hotel Bangkok (296 Phaya Thai Road)! Someone with a hotel key came into our room during a 3 hour absence and removed all of our valuables. They left the camera and video case so that we would not notice that we had been robbed (I'm assuming they didn't want to be caught with the merchandise with them at work). We reported it as soon as we figured it out the next morning. The security manager just walked me to the key counter and left, I had to ask for a manager, then he came back and we asked for the police they played dumb, but we didn't give up finally they say "you'll have to pay the taxi ride there and back", we said no problem. Now it gets shadier because the security manager and the translation guy are talking in Thai, my husband wrote up the information and the translator translated it to Thai then the police rewrite it, come to find out they added a sentence saying we were not pursing a...Read more

Large Hotel with Friendly Staff
My husband and I stayed at the Asia Hotel for 6 days a few years ago. The neighborhood is very interesting but it is not close to the major tourists sites. However, everything is easy to get to by either taking the local busses (crowded), a regular taxi or a tuk-tuk. The restaurants serve good food and there was a non-smoking section in the lobby floor restaurant. The room we had was clean, furnished nicely and had a view of the swimming pool. There were very friendly staff who helped us plan fun things to do, including a visit to the floating markets and a dinner and Thai dance show performance. The outdoor food markets are interesting and plentiful. Yes, it was very hot and lots of car exaust, but there is so much to see and do which helps you overlook it all. Once inside this hotel, though, you can relax, enjoy the surroundings--even go shopping in their shops. They have lovely jewelry for sale, for example. We rate this hotel an 8. Its better for the mature traveller than ...Read more
