We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights on our way to Patong. Not knowing what to expect with Bangkok we went with what our travel agent recommended and we weren't disappointed.

The best advice the travel agent provided to us was to book private transfers from the airport to the hotel and back again, fully recommend if you can afford it do it, the last thing you want to do when you arrive in Bangkok at midnight is to go by bus to all the other hotels.

For a 3 star hotel the Baiyoke Sky should be at least 4. The staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and accommodating. The room was clean, spacious and you are guaranteed a view from any floor.

Room Service: The menu in the restaurant could be found on the room service, the food was cooked to perfection.
We found this hotel didn't appear close to public transport however being our first time overseas and in Bangkok we didn't mind a bit to try out the tuk tuk rides.
The hotel has free shuttle service to Siam Discovery centre (Shops) which is in close proxmity to MBK and CBD. We later found out from a local that Baiyoke Sky is a great central point in Bangkok.

Tuk Tuk and taxi's can be found right outside the door.

Pool/ Gym and golf driving range are well equipt. However i would say that the hotel could provide more sun lounges around the pool area.
Again i found goind down to seven 11 for drinks was a lot cheaper than the hotel prices.

You dno't have to look very far for markets when we arrived on a Sat morning there was a small market outside the hotel.

We would definately stay here again if we ever vist bangkok.

On Mar 08 , me and my gf had our holiday in bangkok . we check through all the hotel in BKK . And found out that this hotel lok quite good in location . And we decided to book this hotel . When we check in on our first day . The room ( dexule Suite ) look very old in design .

The tallest building in Thailand, and formerly the tallest hotel in the World. You'd expect a luxurious 5 star establishment. From the outside and the entrance hall you feel that you are stepping into a luxury hotel. However the Baiyoke Sky has been priced in the medium to budget price range and upon entering the hotel you can see why it is in this price range. The scale of everything in the hotel is massive. But the decor is drab and dated and there is a musky smell in the corridors.
The staff are helpful and attentive.
The lobby is on the 17th Floor and is cahotaic, with people checking in, using the small bar on this floor or waiting for lifts to the other floors. There are 3 main lifts, from the ground floor to the lobby, from the lobby to the bar/observation deck and from the lobby to the residential floors. You need to use you door key to operate the lifts to the residential floors.
We were upgraded from a deluxe to an executive deluxe room in the Sky zone. The room was massive, but I felt that there was a lot of wasted space (you could easily of got another double bed in one corner of the room. The view was spectacular with floor to ceiling windows. This was spoiled by the windows being noticeably dirty though. The bathroom was large with a bath, WC and separate shower cubicle. The bedroom did suffer from bad sound-proofing though as we could hear nosies from the plumbing in the adjoining room.
The breakfasts were again intriguing, with food from all over the World (Muslim, indian, Japanese as well as western). Food was served on the 77th floor again giving amazing Bangkok panoramic views. The food was very good.
The bar on the 87th. floor again had great views but was dark and dingy.
The hotel is convenient for some markets and shopping centres, but is around 15 minute walk from the Sky train should you want to visit other shops and sights. Phaya Thai is the closest station. The Sky train extension to the airport will run next to the hotel when it eventually opens.
We did find some food stalls around the back of the Baiyoke Sky (on Si Ayutthaya Road). We didn't get a chance to eat there, but there, but there were plenty of locals eating there, so they may be worth checking out.
The Baiyoke Sky could have made a fantastic luxury hotel. As it stands, it is a fun place to stay (for the room space and views) and extremely good value for money. You do however you do get what you pay for.

I went to Thailand for surgery, and recuperated at the Sky Baiyoke Hotel, the staff were fantastic, fabulous room with wonderful city views and courtesy bus to Siam Square on the hour, couldn't fault anything on my 3 week stay.
All the buffets had great selections and the coffee bar very reasonable prices and great food especially the French Onion Soup. Night markets outside on the street, very close to the electronic building - all in all Great.
