Prince Palace Hotel Bangkok Reviews

This is my second stay at the Prince Palace Hotel and I would have some very good things to say about the hotel, not least of which is the standard of the rooms and the facilities, particularly the pool area. However their Internet Ripoff -$US16.00 for 24 hours - does not sit well with me. Charge but not gouge. The hotel is a long way from anywhere, although taxis and tuk-tuks abound. Unfortunately the food at the pool bar was well below what we had experienced several months earlier, which was absolutely superb ( a view shared by my european colleagues). It has gone from five star cuisine to Greasy Joe Burgers. If you have a USB modem you might get value from this hotel.

WE were pleasently surprised to land in Bangkok and informed that The Govt had waived off Visa fees and there woul be no visa fees for arriving passengers till early next year(2011). When we arrived at the hotel we were again surprised that the hotel upgraded us in to a suite against booking for a double room.I guess this was the hotel's way to promote their business in a month when the whole world has the impresion of riots and burning bulidings due to red shirt protests in bangkok. It must have put off many potential visitors to Bangkok. However, for us it was the ideal time. The city is back to normal and the hotel has excellent service and location. WE will recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a short holiday in bangkok.The service is better as the ocupancy appaers to be thin. Even the airport was not so crowded.
