Northgate Ratchayothin — Hotel in Lat Yao Subdistrict

We loved this hotel. Highly recommended. It is an oasis of calm in a busy city. Our room was spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The varied range of foods provided at the breakfast buffet included both Thai, Chinese and Western food (and veggy) so we could eat tasty foods depending on our mood each day! We found the local night market opposite, 4 mins walk, (access via short pedestrian bridge), great for snacks and Thai food. ||The staff were very friendly and helpful. The reception area relaxed. When we came down to reception ready to go out, staff quickly got a taxi from the road to come to the reception area to pick us up and helped with the language issue, by talking to the driver for us about where we wanted to go. (Taxis are metered, plentiful and so cheap in Bangkok taking us door-to-door, directly to where we wanted go.) Hotel felt a safe, relaxed base from which to get to know this lovely city.||After a hectic day sightseeing, we went to the local cinema, in a complex only 4 mins walk away, and ate food from the local food stalls as well as had a drink in one of the associated restaurants there in the same complex and bought something from the handy convenience store. At the end of the day, the best cocktail we found was actually in the restaurant back at the hotel! and the price was very reasonable. We had lunch at the hotel one day too. ||Although we didn’t need to take the complimentary tuk tuk-like shuttle to the BTS station ourselves, it looked convenient and fun. We could see the golf driving range from our bedroom window; 2 mins walk away, but we will have to try that another time! Equally we didn’t have time this trip to enjoy the great looking pool, tennis courts or gym on the roof. We will come back again!||We learnt that, for some taxi drivers, we had to say that the hotel was next to the shell petrol station and opposite the Thai Pa-Nit Bank. Then, they had no problems finding it 😊, (if they hadn’t already known...

I have stayed at Northgate Ratchayothin so many times, but this time will be the last. ||Firstly, as i mentioned above i have stayed here so many times since COVID lockdown since i don’t have to work at the office everyday. Last year, the hotel has a promotion, stay 5 nights get 1 night free and I accumulated to get 1 free night in the last year. However, i didn’t have a chance to redeem it yet. So, i was looking forward to do it this time. But, the hotel change the condition to stay 10 nights to get 1 night free and i can’t redeem my reward (i have to stay 4 nights more). In my opinion, it’s my call when to redeem the prize. Because, i’ve been eligible for it already. In case the hotel wants to change the condition, at least should notify the customer but disappointedly, there is none. ||Second, you might know that the hotel provides Tuktuk to transfer to BTS. This time i asked for Tuktuk at the reception and they informed me that it’s scheduled every 15 mins and unluckily the next round is fully booked. From my view, this is nonsense, Tuktuk can carry just about 4 people per round. If the hotel want to schedule, they should provide a sufficient service especially during rush hour, mostly guests want to take Tuktuk during rush hour in the morning, but only 4 seats available. |That means most of the guests cannot access the service even though all guests pay at the same rate.|So, someone’s 1,xxx BHT doesn’t equal to another’s? This is unfair and unacceptable for me.||All in all, let this be my...
