  • If you are staying in Bangkok then Sukhumvit Soi 11 is a great place to choose! It's got some of the best restaurants, bars and clubs anywhere in Thailand. It's all close to the Skytrain and the main shopping and entertainment centres.
    This is a real unbiased review of a one-night stay in the Aira Hotel paid for from my own pocket in September 2023. I paid just over 3000 THB booking on Agoda, and was lucky enough to get a room upgrade to a Jacuzzi Corner Room. I thought it was a good deal; what do you think? Comments always welcome!

    I stayed here in May and liked it so much I am staying there again when I head to Bangkok at the end of October. They did not have the breakfast area running when I was there last, had to go out and across to the neighboring hotel for the breakfast. So convenient to the BTS and all sorts of things to do just on Soi 11.

      Thanks for the comment. You can't go far wrong at his place. If you liked it without the breakfast you'll love it including the breakfast because the choice and quality is really good!

    I think soi 11 or 11/1 are probably my go to places In BKK. Although I think i have done a few other sois opposite and along from it too. Great location.

      @balloonchaser  Před 11 měsíci

      I don't think you can go far wrong with soin11. Some of my favourite restaurants are on there. Also soi 13 and the Sportsman has taken plenty of my baht on Premier League football nights!

    lovely hotel, and what an awesome upgrade!, worth booking for one or two nights just for a treat, the only thing i didn't notice was a balcony, but no biggie for a short break

    • @balloonchaser
      @balloonchaser  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Thanks, Tony. Yes, massive picture window in place of the outside wall but no balcony whatsoever. I did check to see if the window opened, but it didn't. Probably for the best :-))

    This is a very nice hotel option. Basically Hilton standard without the pricing. Obviously, this was not the standard room and an upgrade cannot be guaranteed. However, it is worth keeping in mind in venturing to the capital.

    • @balloonchaser
      @balloonchaser  Před 11 měsíci

      Thanks, David. Yes, a really good hotel. Now whether they gave me an upgrade because I was holding a camera or despite me holding a camera, I'll never know. I'm guessing the latter!

    Olives with your beer is a new one! Very luxurious hotel. The breakfast choices looked fantastic.
    Coffee pods are the way to go. Always nice to see some chocolates, back in my hotel staying days I remember eating a Toblerone or 2 at the exorbitant prices hotels charge. Thai ladies would be very impressed with that room....loom BC! 555

    • @balloonchaser
      @balloonchaser  Před 11 měsíci

      Thanks, Ric. Have to admit, I'd prefer salted popcorn or peanuts, really. Breakfast was definitely well above average. I believe every hotel should have a pod coffee maker in the room. It impresses me anyway!

    I stayed years ago in the grand president which were serviced apartments. Are they gone and this replaced them. i recall they were on both sides of soi 11

    • @balloonchaser
      @balloonchaser  Před 11 měsíci

      The grand president Hotel is still directly opposite (looks like same owners), so maybe this has replaced the apartments. It only opened last year!

    • @balloonchaser
      @balloonchaser  Před 11 měsíci +2

      Any hotel with a decent coffee machine and 4 bottles of water should be awarded 5* status without any further discussion! I needed those 4 bottles on this trip! Thanks for the comment!

    real class, good job you didn't take Mr. Egg. Was it guest friendly ? Named after an elephant, surely the most famous is 'Nellie'.

    • @balloonchaser
      @balloonchaser  Před 11 měsíci +2

      Yes, BB it was top class. I did ask if it was guest friendly and I'm still awaiting their reply. Will update on here when they tell me. Given the Soi I'm expecting a 'yes' answer! Airavata is the "king of elephants" and has 7 trunks, which I guess trumps Nellie's one. Trump, trump, trump.

      Hotel have replied to confirm that there's no charge for guests in the room, but they must register at reception. Seems OK!
