The hotel and our room was very clean. The bathroom was on the small side but did have a bath. We got a special internet rate which included a kitchen. Great for heating things up in the microwave or making a cup of tea. The free internet was good as was the DVD player already connected to the TV. A large range of English speaking TV channels and some European. There was a very small balcony but no outdoor furniture.

The breakfast buffet is the largest I have seen in all my travels. When available you can sit outside near the pool which is lovely. Avoid having breakfast after 9:30am as its very crowded and you may have to wait to find a table. There is no obvious direction or signs on the buffet so people walked in either direction and often bumped into each other, or push past.

There is a pool and heated jacuzzi, gym and small sauna. The rooms use a magnetic swipe card to gain access to the room and put electricity on. Ours kept switching off, 8 times within an hour, so I called reception. Within mintues (literally) a supervisor was at the door, then a workman with tools. He removed the old swipe point and replaced it, taking approx 15mins. This worked till that evening when I had to call again and once again have it fixed. I was unable to work on the computer whilst this was happening which was an annoyance. Although the supervisor appologised, she never offered a change or room, complimentary drink, fruit basket etc.

Despite the vast number of rooms, we could only see 3 lifts, which always took several minutes to come. Check out is 12noon and the electricity goes off then in the room. 20mins prior, reception called to make sure we were indeed leaving. He never offered to send a porter for the luggage, so we carried it down ourselves. Again, only a small point but worth noting. All staff had a good command of English. Reception staff could be more attentive and not talk among themsevles when customers are waiting. Overall a terrific hotel and I would definately stay there again.

Centrepoint Petchburi deserves to be choice of stay in Bangkok bcos the room is huge, beautiful, clean, good location, nice breakfast, sizable swimming pool. It even comes with gymn and laundry room.

It's a perfect apartment studio for whoever demands comfort, security and location.

Located just opposite Pantip Plaza, 15 mins walk to Big C, Isetan and Erawan, it is the premier location which one can be sure, you are always near to the shopping centres. Need not worry about the 15mins slow pace walk to the Ratchatewi BTS. It is so near to Pratunam that if you dare to walk alone, you can find lots of bargains from food to clothings.

Breakfast is worth a mention here, it offers local and American Breakfast. Though the breakfast area is small...it still can accomodate at least 30 guests at one time.

There's a DVD library which you can rent and have a movie marathon in your room. By the way, there's a Sony 29" TV in the room with a Sony DVD Hi Fi. It also comes with a safe box in the room.

Centrepoint Petchburi is the choice, as good as Citadines Bangkok as written in my other review. See my photos.

I have been a regular guest at Centre point for more than 7 years and it’s a great place to stay. I have tried many other properties but this one stands out in terms of convenience. Most of my work is located around that area and therefore its useful. For others, it must be noted that this is NOT a touristy area or an area with views as its in the midst of the cacophony of the garment wholesale market. Check in is usually swift and as mentioned by other reviews earlier, they always take your signature on a credit card value in excess of the stay and charge you for it. The rooms are either studios or one bedroom suites or a fabulous two bedroom penthouse suite. During this visit of mine, we had 2 studios with kitchen and they were luckily interconnecting and was very helpful for us as we had kids. Free high speed internet is provided and free breakfast for which you are given 2 coupons per room- irrespective of whether it is kids or adults. Housekeeping is good and security is well maintained. What upsets me a lot in this property is the lack of customer service from any point of view. As mentioned, I have been their guest on umpteen occasions and not once have they welcomed you back to their property. Its just any other person and doesn’t matter to them loyalty of any sort. Another irritating point is that everything is charged- ask for extra towels, extra blankets, extra pillows, baby crib, all are charged. Yes, it’s a tuppence of 20 or 30 baht but doesn’t look proper at all. Asking for a late check out is an impossible dream unless you know someone in the sales department and request them beforehand. Asking for it from the front desk staff will not be of any use. The property has a minimart downstairs and you can even call them to deliver items if you need.
Overall being so convenient for me, I try to ignore the other issues and continue to stay here albeit loyalty means nothing.

I had a free room at another hotel, but with several friends recommending Centre Point, I couldn't pass up the value and saved my free room for later. The rooms are large, with king bed, pull out twin, TV, kitchen area, two free small bottles of water, and free internet. Despite other reviews, I thought the included breakfast buffet was great, with fresh fruit, vegetables, cereals, rolls, yogurt, juices, Thai food, American breakfast, and cook-to-order eggs. When available, eating by the pool was nice. If you want to be in the garment district or go to the computer mall, it's in a great location, but for normal tourist sights be prepared to walk or take a taxi. From "The Official Bangkok Map" I picked up at the airport, I found the canal water taxi was about a 10-minute walk from the hotel. There was construction a few floors up from my room, but there was no problem moving into another room the day I was there to experience the pounding.
