Easy Planet Bangkok Asoke

If you've flown with a budget airline, you might not have experienced a budget hotel – but this is one. Just like budget airlines offer cramped seats, limited in-flight services, and only transportation (and often not even a cheap price!), this hotel operates similarly. Let me start with its only two advantages. Yes, just two: 1) Its location near Asok BTS station. There are hundreds of massage parlors, bars, department stores, and delicious street food stalls. For first-time Bangkok visitors, it's a convenient base. You can party until 2 AM and still walk back to the hotel within 10 minutes. 2) The room has a large ceiling fan, which is a blessing for middle-aged men who are sensitive to heat! As for the downsides, the list is endless! The room is tiny, with no table or chairs. No toiletries are provided (which is acceptable due to environmental reasons), but they don't even offer a 5-7 baht bottle of mineral water, which is really disappointing. There's no trash can in the room, so you have to throw rubbish in the bathroom or take it outside yourself. For our 4-day stay, our room (for 4 guests) wasn't cleaned on the first or third day. Also, while it's in an alley near the BTS station, vehicle access is inconvenient, and passing other cars is difficult. If you plan to call a taxi or drive, although there's a decent-sized parking lot, getting in and out is a hassle. I, a middle-aged man, do not recommend this budget-airline-style budget hotel. The main point is that it's more expensive than regular hotels nearby, offering no real advantage.

Overall, it was very comfortable, clean, and hygienic. The park is also very close, and it's convenient to go out for food since the company, BTS, and MRT are all easily accessible. Getting to the airport is also very convenient, especially with Emma mentioning the red line for early mornings.

The location is absolutely the best thing about this place! It was surprisingly convenient for calling Grab or Bolt, even though it's at the end of a cul-de-sac and has parking. We made over 10 short trips and had no issues. However, there's a lot of variation in the rooms you get assigned, and you can't choose. If you end up in a dark room facing a wall, it's so dim that you have to turn up your phone brightness just to see anything. Also, while it's fine for a trip where you're mostly out sightseeing and just need a place to sleep, be warned that the rooms are tiny. You won't even be able to open a 24-inch suitcase. Amenities are practically nonexistent; there's shampoo and hand soap, but the quality isn't great.

We made over 10 short trips and it was never an issue. However, beware that the room is incredibly small – you can't even open a suitcase larger than 24 inches! There are also no amenities whatsoever. While there's shampoo and hand soap, the quality is so poor that it's practically useless, so you'd be better off bringing your own or buying some once you arrive. ^-^

Great location, convenient for travel, close to BTS and MRT, just a short walk. I've stayed here many times. Highly recommend for anyone looking for good value accommodation.

The hotel's facilities are a bit old. The bedding and pillows are also old. The staff are enthusiastic. The location is close to the BTS station.

Good location. No fridge in the room. Small room. Towels look bad, yellowed. No hot water for the first 6 days. I informed them but they didn't do anything. On the 7th day, after making another complaint, they changed my room. I chose a room with a city view but... you can see in the picture what kind of view I got.
