The Continent Hotel Bangkok Sukhumvit

[@benleno]

I stayed there 8 years ago. They had a food and booze inclusive option which was reasonable. Nice view from the top bar in the evening.

Short and to the point video. Thanks for sharing.

Give the new Parkroyal suites a shot next time your'e in Bangkok, huge rooms, excellent location right near Nana and not too expensive.

Another great and informative video. Regarding hotel ratings, ratings from 1 to 7 stars are given based on the facilities on offer. To get 5 stars in the UK, this hotel would also need a spar, so yes, this should be a 4 star property.

Great to see you back in Thailand tom ,,look forward to watching your vlogs

[@BigFatBesty]

Not in Thailand yet. This is from the last trip. Not long to go until the next one though.

Welcome back friend !! 😉Indeed that was Santorini ! Nice to see that you pronounced "Asoke" almost correctly after I typed a comment on how to, 2 years ago ! haha ! (Ah- sow - k, not Ah - saw - k))

BFB! Good to see you again. You're looking great. Hope you've been healthy and happy. The Continent looks like a great hotel with a decent breakfast. I stayed just down the road at Radisson Blu. That was good as well, with a nice ,but expensive roof top bar. Good beers, though. Yep, prices have gone up in BKK, but still great value compared to other places. Travel safe, and looking forward to the next videos

Glad to see you back in Thailand. Looking forward to seeing the videos.

Thanks for review. Great putting that pool/smoking set up at start. Immediately ruled the hotel out for me, so didn’t have to continue.

[@BigFatBesty]

I thought it was very odd to have such a small space and so few loungers and allow smoking. By all means have a designated smoking area, but I'm not sure this is a good solution here.

Slow lifts. Small brekki :p Nice to see you back in Thailand :)

Besty is back😊

Good Hotel You are right about the rating system.

[@mr.lamphun7789]

Nice review besty. Do you still see that Nick Dean bloke?

[@BigFatBesty]

I do. I'll be seeing him again in 4 weeks or so.

[@mr.lamphun7789]

@BigFatBesty nice one bud. I enjoy his videos as I do you. Whatever happened to bricktop? He was a good laugh on vids

[@dentravelarky]

Great review Tom, looks a decent hotel. Bangkok star ratings are a mystery as you say! Thanks for sharing, hope you're back in the Land of Smiles soon! Cheers mate, all the best!

[@BigFatBesty]

Under 4 weeks until Thailand. Starting in Phuket but I have a few days somewhere other than Thailand to start the trip.

Not to be confused with it's 3 star little brother where all the mattresses are wrapped in plastic - the inContinent hotel

[@TheBigheadValley]

The star system is a measure of what services and facilities a hotel is able to provide.

[@BigFatBesty]

Internationally it is. But in Thailand? 5 stars I believe should have a spar. This place didn't and neither do the two hotels in pattaya that I mentioned with 5 star ratings. Blackwoods and Baraquda. Having said that, all three are fine at their price point as they are less than half the price of the genuine 5 star hotels.

[@MrPistola187]

just looking about booking this place just the other day for later this year

[@MrPistola187]

was this a premier, executive or sky lounge room type ta

[@BigFatBesty]

This was the standard room, high floor. I believe it's a premier.

[@siscott6066]

Definitely a 4* hotel the room is nothing to right home about, that swimming pool looks crap only 3 sun loungers right next to a smoking area I definitely don't want to be breathing in that smoke, I packed in 1984 so why would I want to breath in that poisonous gas and pay a lot of money for someone's own pleasure.
