I last stayed in The Grand in 2003. It was Grand, with a capital "G". I was having a 36 hour stopover in BKK on 8th-9th May 2010 and decided to stay there again - at least partly because it was well out of the way of the res shirt protests. What a mistake to make. Grubby rooms, stained carpets... More

This hotel once probably had a glorious age- coinciding with the days when the Beegees and Cinzano were at that peak. Glorious entrance foyer, with a somewhat damp smell but it masks the past-its-prime ambience that pervades the rest of the hotel.The hotel apparently has 600 rooms and had 70 book. The room we were given had not been used... More

Well... When we checked in we thought things may not be so good. Our room was very dirty, the nonsmoking floor reeked of smoke, our early morning call was not recorded. lucky we had to change it or we wouldn't have known, After a sleepless night., dirty bed, cigarette smoke etc. , we checked out at 5 AM, asked reception...

I just escaped upon the room check in, when I asked to change the room because of its moldy bed and dirty bathroom. I asked the front desk staff to change the room, but encounter absolute ignorance. So I canceled my two nights booking and escaped without even unpacking! I recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to stay in... More

I was disappointed with this hotel. They were going to charge me $20 more per night just because my passport is from America. Luckily my friend is half Korean so we got the cheaper price but if you ask me thats racism. We got there late at night and the man at the desk was very rude. Our room was... More

This appears to be a case of a hotel past its prime -- with a profile and location that does not compare favorably with more up-to-date and better located hotels among Bangkok's fine selection, and probably hard to compete toward keeping its 600 rooms occupied. The hotel is quite uncared for, with chipped marble, peeling paint, torn wallpaper, wood in... More

This hotel is regularly on the "cheap hotel" lists and offers outstanding value for money. It's basically a 4 star hotel at 3 star price (even for foreigners!). The Japanese restaurant is EXCELLENT. The bar is sad and empty. The hot water is normally tepid we found, though the bathroom is excellent. The location is not great -in the middle... More

What can we say, dirty, tired, stained carpet, ripped curtains and staff who could'nt give a damn. We walked out after 1 hour of unheplful "service" with not one staff member speaking English, to even understand that we were leaving!!! Stay away, this place is real dodgy!!

I read through most of the reviews for this hotel and thought it would be decent for the price ($70/night). I guess you get what you pay for. Cons: The entire hotel needs a complete remodel. Away from the main tourist spots. Two long blocks either direction to the nearest subway station. Found a roach in one of breakfast dishes.... More
