Park Plaza Soi 18 is a well-designed hotel with modern rooms and a rooftop fitness center.
Park Plaza Bangkok Soi 18 is located in Sukhumvit, one of modern Bangkok's districts. It's close to the Asok BTS Skytrain and Sukhumvit MRT stations, so commuting around the city is pretty easy. Benchakitti Park is an 11-minute walk away. The location is convenient if you want to explore Bangkok a little bit away from the noise of the busiest areas.
Inside, the hotel has a contemporary vibe. The rooms are simple yet stylish. All rooms have air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a minibar, and a safe. The rooms are spacious and clean, though they lean more toward the practical side rather than luxurious. Some rooms may feel a little dated, especially the furniture, but overall comfortable.
Do check out the rooftop pool and bar - one of the hotel's greatest assets. The area is a nice way to escape the heat and enjoy watching the city from above. Also on the rooftop is the gym - a little old but has many of the expected equipment.
The on-site restaurant offers a good mix of Thai and international dishes. It's nothing special although the service is consistently friendly and attentive. Outside the hotel, the mall Terminal 21 (10 minutes on foot) houses many food stalls and eateries.
The hotel also offers a business center and a couple of meeting rooms, which business travelers will find adequate.
Park Plaza Bangkok Soi 18 is aimed at people who want an upscale but not overly luxurious place to stay, a bit outside of the absolute central areas but with convenient public transport nearby.
Check-in is available from 14:00 and check-out is required by 12:00.
