Centrepoint Sukhumvit Soi 10

[JVHyatt]

Thought I’d give intel on this place. Largely a no for me.

Booked it bc it has non smoking rooms with balconies, so with the new thc laws, wasnt sure if I could procure gummies and last minute, this seems the best all things considered. Turns out I could (but for how long not sure) so balcony came in handy and nice to sit at night.  pool is nice too.  joy pretty much stops there for me.

problem is the centrepoint brand does not sell alcohol on premises, I suppose it wants to market to families, which is fine, but this particular one attracts huge arab families, like I’m talking five and seven kids per.  Also some construction going on so the elevators which are tiny to begin with were an an abject nightmare pretty much always, except like very late night.

Ameneties are fine, like pool, small gym, has a family room, a convenience store, on site restaurant, an ATM and a tuk tuk that goes up to mouth of Sukhumvit. But See prior statement on huge arab families.  They will assume they have right of way for everything.  

Room has excellent washer/dryer, but strangely had no tv in bedroom, only in living area.  not great.  Hotel Also right next to access to Benjakitti which is nice.

Also has a bit of an Asian clientele, and fewer Westerners (which I actually like), but wouldnt go back to this place.  Staff fine.

This place is for balcony smokers, who enjoy quiet but dont mind tons of arab families sucking up all hotel resources.

Thanks for the report! I did consider this hotel on my previous trip but didn't mostly because it's a bit further down the soi than I like. I also like hotels with a balcony and it's one of the few ones in the city at my price range.

honestly only a five min walk down the soi (at a brisk pace), albeit can be tricky as no sidewalk.  the hotel tuk tuk worked fine from the hotel (except at dinnertimes) but coming back was a nightmare, so I always used grab or tuk tuks, usually directly back from nightlife.  all in not a bad choice, but be mindful of the no alcohol and the large family focus.  the lobby was almost always filled with large arab families, almost as if they like only stayed in the lobby.  kinda weird.

No alcohol on sale at the hotel but can bring in if bought outside, right?

Have booked the Junior Suite for my up coming trip cause I always love a big balcony.

No alcohol sales at hotel, incl in convenience store in lobby.  Yes you are free to bring in alcohol, although I wouldnt show it off as the arab pop didnt look too friendly in there frankly.  balconies cam in handy too, let’s just say.
