The hotel, though a bit old, was good value for money. We only paid SGD70 per room per night (2 persons to 1 standard room), and that works out to about USD20 per person per night! The rooms (we took 2 rooms) were clean and bright. Each room had provided one safe deposit box and a hair dryer. The others were the basic stuff, eg. TV, mini fridge, etc...
Breakfast at the Tivoli Coffee House was ok.
P.S. The tap water is not safe for consumption, but the hotel has installed a small "Drinking Water Tap" in the bathroom. We drink from this tap and fill our water bottles from it everyday, and the water is perfectly clean and safe. None of us suffered a tummy upset.
The best thing about this hotel is its connecting sky bridge to a BTS station (Ratchathewi Station)... We took the skytrain to most of the places we wanted to visit, it was cheap, fast and convenient. Sure beats getting stuck in Bangkok's notorious traffic jams! The Ratchathewi station is about 1-2 stops away from the Siam area and Chit Lom area.
The hotel's location (away from the more "touristy" hotel places, eg. the Baiyoke area, Eastin/D'Ma area, etc) also meant that we encountered less touts and unscrupulous tuk-tuk drivers. During my last stay at the Baiyoke Sky, it was virtually impossible to get a cab or tuk-tuk who wouldn't try to scam you...the situation here at the Asia Hotel is much better (no harassment from touts)!

This is the second time we have stayed in this hotel over the last 4 years, the reason being we group travel with our orchid society and this hotel generally meets the standard and budget affordable to our group of 34 persons. We found the rooms to be of a good size, well furnished and good carpets, although the colour scheme reflects the age of the hotel, late sixties. It is a large hotel, 650 rooms on17 levels but has 6 fast lifts, 5 restaurants, 2 pools etc etc. Our package included buffet breakfast in the Tivoli Coffee Shop, a large restaurant adjacent to the large entrance foyer. The breakfast has a large variety of foods, both European and Asian, cooking stations where you can obtain fresh omlettes, fried eggs etc, juices, teas,beautiful fresh fruit etc etc. This restaurant provides good reasonably priced evening meals and has entertainment each evening, Elvis lives here. The rooftop swimming pool on the 12 th floor is worth visiting with its bar and great view over Bangkok.
The location of the hotel is outstanding, from the second floor you have a direct entrance onto the Ratchathewi Sky train Station, also if you go to the hotel's 17th floor they will give you a complimentary Skytrain day pass. It is 5 minutes by Skytrain to MBK and Siam Centre, however in cooler weather it is a pleasant 10 minutes walk.. 3 minute walk from the hotel is a canal where you can take a water taxi, a most enjoyable method of travel.
