I Heart Reflections Bangkok!
May 13th, 2008
okay, this is the post on the cute hotel i stayed at in Bangkok! i’ve been getting so many emails asking about this hotel after i mentioned it in the Chatuchak post, and now i’m feeling quite regretful that i didn’t take pictures of the hotel properly. haih! but i will try my very best to do justice to the cuteness of this hotel, ok? :P
Reflections is a place that would typically be classified under boutique hotels, but i think a better term for it is ‘art inn’. converted from a few shophouses into one of the coolest travel accommodations i’ve ever stayed in, Reflections resembles an inn more than it does a hotel because of its size, layout, amenities and location. with its lobby doors opening right out onto the streets of Pradiphat, Bangkok, it is distinguishable from its neighbouring pharmacies and grocery stores only by the bright turquoise colors of its walls.
i thought it was a little strange to find such a striking boutique hotel/inn nestled amongst these common and drab shophouses, but i later realized how much it added to the overall charm of the place. your balcony opens up to life in the midst of non-tourist Bangkok, and you cant help but feel extremely welcome and at ease in a place that is so genuine and down-to-earth.
Reflections has only 30 rooms, and the reason why i think it should be called an art inn is that each and every one of its 30 rooms has a theme and design unique to itself. no two rooms in Reflections are alike, and they are all conceptualized and designed by different artists. isn’t that so cool! eeyang and i had a lot of fun browsing through their website and picking out which rooms we wanted.
here are pictures of the rooms we stayed in!:
ROOM 409
Price: 1850 baht /night (RM 185)
#1 this is Eeyang’s room - Room 409. the theme here is positive energy-meets-nature. the room is actually not as warmly-lit as the pictures imply, and it can get a bit gloomy in here because the lighting isn’t very powerful, but overall it’s clean, simple and very spacious.
#2 we had a good giggle looking at the shower, because it opens right into the bedroom, and there’s no door to the bathroom/toilet space :P this room was quite uninteresting to us because there really wasn’t much relevance to the theme, and nothing quirky to poke at :( the other rooms, as you shall soon see, are less spartan and have a lot of very interesting touches.
#3 eeyang posing on the bed. isnt that stool with the phone so cute! oh and the notepads in this hotel are pads of multi-coloured post its :D
ROOM 203
Price: 2250 baht /night (RM 225)
#4 this is the door leading into Room 203, which was my room, and located on the ground floor of the block next door (Reflections takes up two blocks of shoplots), and they’re separated by a small walkway compound. we were SO lucky that someone canceled their booking and we could get this room upon check-in, because it was one of our first choices :D
#5 this room is huuuge and very cheerful! after the gloom and barrenness of Room 409, i was glad to come into this homey and cozy room. aptly, this room is themed ‘Wish You Were Here’ and has tones of nostalgia and old charm.
#6 this is the bathroom of Room 203. the wooden part is where the shower area is. i like! bigger bathroom than the previous room, although also separated by curtains and not a lockable door.
#7 the artist of this room really knew how to bring out the theme of nostalgia. lots of interesting old-school toys and dolls to poke around with in this room. i really liked it in here :)
ROOM 202
Price: 2250 baht /night (RM 225)
#8 Room 202 is an EXTREMELY CUTE room!! it’s the room next to mine, and when we came back from breakfast, the housekeeps were in there cleaning up, so we asked if we could go in to take a look. i was so enamoured by the little details of this room that i forgot to take a shot of the whole room :( but you can click here to see what it looks like
#9 this is a sink right in front of the bed, where you can use those paints and brushes and paint onto that mural next to the sink. damn nice right! it was very cool seeing all the arty additions by all the people who’ve stayed in this room before and left behind a little bit of themselves on the mural :)
#10 this is the clothesrack. haha two big birds!
#11 the mirror that’s been painted on, too. check out the lockers behind me that serve as drawers!
#12 this is the sofa-bed. eeyang and i originally wanted this room for the sofa bed because we could have saved on the double room costs :( but oh well. such is thy fate if thy booketh thy hotel room only 4 days before trip!
GENERAL OPINION ON ROOMS:
i really prefer the latter two rooms to the first; the extra RM 40 really makes all the difference. all rooms in Reflections have free wifi access (an extremely strong deciding factor for me when choosing hotel rooms!!!) but the rooms in the second block get stronger connectivity. we couldnt get connectivity in Room 409 at all, which was another reason why i didnt like that room.
note that ALL rooms in Reflections have double beds; there are no single or twin bed rooms. this posed quite a problem on this trip, hence we had to book 2 rooms and spend a lot of money. haih. so this is a hotel best for couples or friends who don’t mind sharing the same bed. there are some rooms with sofa beds though, and i think there is one room that actually has a single bed next to the double bed. OR, you can do what we realized WAY too late we could do, which is purchase one of those extra beds for 500 baht (RM 50) per night and have it wheeled into your room :) *tries not to grumble at amount of money that could have been saved*
besides 202 and 203, our other first choices were Room 303 and Room 402.
——-
#13 our room keys!
#14 stairs leading up to the rooms in the first block. every wall and corner of the entire hotel has some form of art splashed on it.
#15 the broadband-enabled computers in the lobby. thai broadband is faaaaaaaast. there are also lots of books and bangkok travel guidebooks next to the computers. you can borrow the books :)
#16 this is the hotel cafe, where you have your free ala carte breakfast. like the rest of the hotel, it is extremely cute and happy, and has a lot of quirky artistic touches :)
#17 … like this curtain made out of neckties! eeyang and i were goggling at the creativity of this. though it would look much nicer if there were more neckties on the bar!
#18 .. and this super cool chair with little toys glued all over it :) it’s so creative and comfy that i wanted to bring it back home with me T____T
#19 funny drawings like this one are placed where the overhead menu boards usually are
#20 sofas in the cafe for you to read or just chill
#21 eeyang and i with the big teddy bear in the very small hotel lobby. on our last day, both the couch and the bear were gone, because they are apparently the props for the newest room redesign
#22 the extensive DVD library in the lobby!!! you can take any of them back to the room because each room has a DVD player!!! did you know that i found Singing In The Rain and The Seven Year Itch in their collection!!! oh my god!!! but we ended up getting Romeo + Juliet but fell asleep watching it :(
#23 adjacent to the hotel lobby is a space where the hotel owners sell original-design bags and notebooks and clothes and stationery and lots of other stuff. i never managed to ask the hotel staff who designed these things, nor did i get to buy anything :(
#24 CDs at the shop space
#25 clothes and art for sale
#26 very cute notebooks that i wanted to buy back as souvenirs!!! but our ride to the airport came so early :(
#27 funky bags for sale. see the luggage bags behind, in the display window? I WANTED ONE SO BADLY. why did the cab have to come so soon!
okay no more pictures. lemme just give a quick summary of the main facets of a hotel stay :
Rooms: absolutely creative and so much fun to stay in, very clean and comfortable, wifi-enabled, double beds only (but you can purchase additional beds), bathrooms have no door, good beds and pillows, nice towels and bathrobes. room in the first block can be gloomy. book early because there are so little rooms in this place! Rating : 4/5.
Service: top notch. it is a small establishment run by a small handful of people, and each and every one of them were very kind, polite and hospitable. eeyang found a smoke buddy in one of them :P they are extremely helpful, especially with directions, and they don’t hesitate at all to go out and hail a cab with you to tell your cabbie where to go (many cabbies cant speak English). 5/5.
Price & Booking: all rooms go by 4 rates - A) 1850 baht, B) 2250 baht, C) 2950 baht, D) 3450 baht. these prices are just right for boutique hotels. but of course this is Bangkok, and you can find cheaper hotels anywhere in the city, but none as unique, comfy and cool as Reflections :) bookings can only be made via their website and phoning in.
Amenities: no pool or gym, though this was no problem for me as i never use either when traveling. there is a hotel cafe with ala carte breakfast, open 24 hours with room service delivery. hotel shop selling those bags and stuff. hotel is wifi-enabled (though some rooms have very weak connectivity; check with concierge prior to booking). two broadband-enabled desktops at lobby. dvd library and a dvd player + tv in every room. air conditioner and hot water in all rooms.
Location: Reflections is located in Pradiphat, which is a 10-15 minute taxi ride to the city center (Sukhumvit, Silom and all) if traffic is good, and that costs about 50 - 70 baht (RM 5 - 7). it’s a 10 baht (RM 1) tuk-tuk ride or a 8-minute walk to the nearest Skytrain station, which is the Saphan Khwai station. in Bangkok, any hotel that’s near the Skytrain = GOOD; very convenient to get around. Reflections is also extremely near the Chatuchak Weekend Market (hehe!) and it costs about 30 baht to get there via tuk-tuk. it is very easy to get taxis from the hotel, and the hotel staff will help you with this. ALSO, there are lots of money changers here - on the same road as Reflections - that give very good rates. change your money here, trust me :D
thus ends my happy review of Reflections Rooms in Bangkok :) it is a lovely, kitsch, quaint place that i’m so glad to have discovered. yes, i would definitely recommend this hotel, and it is definitely where i will stay from now on whenever i go to Bangkok.
feel free to ask me questions if you have any :) charge you i will not, obviously, but if you would like to offer me a Clarinase pill, it would be very welcome. the last of my Clarinase stock was confiscated at the Freedom rave :( runny-nosed and feverish i am now. sigh!

FIRST
HAUAHUAHUHUAH :P
lol
eh cool nya! reminds me of some of the funkier hostels in europe though, but with more class and cleanliness hahah i wonder if u can hire their decoraters for interior design purposes
2. pinkpau | May 13th, 2008 at 7:07 pm
damn stupid lah you *smack
oh yaa now that you mention it. eeyang found out from the staff that if you wanna decorate a room, you actually can. some of the rooms were designed by satisfied customers who dont have any interior design background. so cool hor. you just pitch them your idea, and they will get all the props and furniture for you if they like your idea.
hmmmmmm i wonder if they would be open to the idea of a kinky room :D teehee. mirrors, four poster beds and all :P
3. Betsy | May 13th, 2008 at 7:11 pm
OMG! First time I ever comment on your blog, but I felt a big urge that I need to!! All the rooms are so cool, funky n cute!!! If I ever return to Bangkok, I’m so going Reflections!!!!!!
4. reallybites | May 13th, 2008 at 7:35 pm
aiyo why you never share room with him….save cost ma :P

“Su Ann, why never talk about Mother’s Day?”
7. kennysia | May 13th, 2008 at 8:26 pm

Definitely gives me different views for hotels :)
Very refreshing idea, instead of boring corporate-expensive-everywhere-the-same hotels.
14. Jun | May 13th, 2008 at 9:50 pm
oooh, this has got to be one of ur most colorful posts! even makes me happy looking at it :D how wonderfully appropriate to swing by after a hectic day in the ER :)

18. Kim | May 13th, 2008 at 11:30 pm
I just started reading your blog and I have to say, I totally love the way you write. You’ve got fantastic English and you’re so down-to-earth. You seem really nice! Oh and congratulations on getting into Columbia! I’m considering applying there too along with Emory Uni and WSU. :)
19. ky | May 13th, 2008 at 11:52 pm
hey there. i’ll be heading to bangkok next week.
may i know the difference if i were to change my money in Malaysia and Bangkok? And how much do you think is sufficient to bring over to Bangkok for a 6 days trip?
Really sorry to bother and thanks in advance :)
20. sieutheng | May 14th, 2008 at 12:20 am
so cute can die.
21. WP | May 14th, 2008 at 12:27 am
Very cute! I didn’t know hotels like this existed!
22. crab | May 14th, 2008 at 12:42 am
thank you for recommending!!!!! :))
23. pinkpau | May 14th, 2008 at 12:54 am
betsy : oh you must :)) make sure to book your rooms early so you can have your stay in your fav rooms!
reallybites : no lah if we go sure share same room! girls mah
eunice : haha an eeyang of your own is GREAT to go to chatuchak with!!! he will carry all of your stuff :P
michelle : but why do you wanna read about my mothers day!
kennysia : eh dont give my mother ideas!
foreverjas : you should!
mabel : chatuchak is a must visit :) there are loads of other great places in bangkok as well. no lah it’s ok about the clarinase; a kind friend just delivered some to my house! :D but it doesnt seem to be working anymore. i gotta check out this codral thing :\
linda : and i havent even blogged about THE FOOD yet! :D
mich : you have to go their website, pick the rooms you like, then drop them an email at the email address provided
andy : that’s why i love boutique hotels :)
jun : OH. hahahaha! thou art clever! but i’ll pass on the nature if it means no broadband, thank u :P
pinksterz : nice leh!
gin : pretty leh!
ky : colorful leh!
kim : heya, sorry i had to truncate your comment :) cheap publicity stunts dont deserve any more publicity; i hope you understand. thank you regarding columbia; i’m extremely excited to go! hmm WSU.. wichita state uni? i’ve got several friends studying there. i’m really curious why you’re choosing to go there! it’s really not the best school nor is it in the most exciting of states :P
ky : no differece, really, you just have to suss out good rates in either place. we got better rates in bangkok, just across the road from our hotel :) it was 9.75 baht to 1 ringgit. back home it was about 9.5? for 6 days.. excluding airfare and hotel stay, rm800- 1000 should be more than enough. if you plan to shop loads, i would bring a little bit more than that.
sieutheng : i know /eyes
wp : our neighbouring country singapore has some pretty cool boutique hotels as well! :)
crab : you are most welcome!
24. TheRealAnonymous | May 14th, 2008 at 1:11 am
Aiyoh, who ask u to put your clarinase pills together wif your fengtau pills? Of coz’ get confiscated laaaa! HAHAHA… I use Cirrus. I find them more effective, and acts way faster.
hotel looks damn cuteeeeeee! =p
I hope you exchanged money at K-excellence bank. Thats the money changer with the best rate, none other. =p Btw, sorry I forgot to tell you this horrrrr… actually u tekan money from ATM u get a better rate than money changers! hehe… same goes for credit cards. =p Credit cards are FOC, but ATM withdrawal transaction (for my bank, Alliance) charges RM8 per withdrawal, but if u withdraw 10,000 baht at once, and add in the RM8 into it, you still get a better rate than any money changers available! =p
25. hui wen | May 14th, 2008 at 1:18 am
Omg pinkpauuuu i loveee youuuuu! I have always wanted to stay in boutique hotels; there’s one in s’pore that I am dying to go to, tell you ’bout it after I go, HEEHEE; but this hotel looks amazing!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE how it is brimming with kitsch and randomness!!

Desloratadine is a good antihistamine, its non sedative in nature for day use.
If you want one for the night, get cetirizine hydrochloride. KO-s me in about 20mins.
Damn good shit, and I sound like a fricking quack here.
31. Justice | May 14th, 2008 at 9:32 am
…..I feel like flying to Bangkok right now!!!
Eversince start reading your blog, I love it so much cos u always having surprises for your readers…thanks Sun Ann, what a good & detail recommendation, u are wonderful! :) **
32. Emily T | May 14th, 2008 at 9:53 am
Su Ann, I wish you’d gone to Bangkok sooner and wrote about this earlier! :P I’ve just paid for flight and hotel (definitely NOT Reflections, sigh!) for my upcoming BKK trip next month just two weeks back. Reflections looks exactly like the kind of hotel I’d stay in. I contemplated on the Shanghai Inn which touts itself as a boutique hotel too but I finally settled for Le Fenix on Sukhumvit (I keep seeing this street name in this post and the one on Chatuchak so I guess my choice of hotel can’t be wrong? Hehe, YAY)
Oh and what you wrote about Chatuchak got me all fired up for shopping in Bangkok! I can’t wait! :D
33. Jeff from LA | May 14th, 2008 at 10:01 am
Reflections really seems like an amazing place to stay. I had no idea they had such cute hotels in Bangkok. I’ll definitely have to try it when I visit Bangkok. One of my old law school buddies keeps telling me to go visit her so I really should go.
How do you find these cute places to stay, by the way? I am always impressed at your ability to find great hotels everywhere you travel.
34. Jay V | May 14th, 2008 at 10:28 am
why i never found such room in Malaysia ah?
35. iamdoryfish | May 14th, 2008 at 10:42 am
Cool, thanks for recommending!! :) And you have quite a number of good photos….no need to feel bad about it!
36. miss p | May 14th, 2008 at 11:03 am
wah so cool so cool~!! those bags look really nice.
37. Kim | May 14th, 2008 at 11:10 am
Hahahahaha! No! Not Wichita State Uni! I don’t even know where that is! Washington State Uni! And no worries about the comment. :)
38. Yappy | May 14th, 2008 at 11:10 am
Before your posts about bangkok and ringha, it never cross my mind to include them in my ‘Must visit list’. But now, i sooo wanna go!! Ah well, maybe during my summer break. :))
After 2 years of reading your blog, i never found a single entry that i dislike. I enjoy reading your blog, whether its ur day-to-day post, your political views or posts that talked about food and travel. You rock, Su Ann! Keep the posts coming! :)))
39. Darren | May 14th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
very very creative and artistic, i would love to decorate my room like that or my future house hehe
40. Sam | May 14th, 2008 at 1:20 pm

43. kx | May 14th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
ohhh, i hv been to this one….good choice. i love it too. thought of writing about it too actually…maybe..soon. but this hotel has a little downside, kinda out of nowhere…altho BTS is considered fairly near, still…quite a hassle. but overall, it’s ok (location wise). it’s a 4/5 for me…lol.
44. Rachel | May 14th, 2008 at 6:53 pm
Babe, aku sudah pulang dari Bangkok… I really shopped till I dropped!!! Drop as in almost jatuh cos too much things to carry! So good to shop! cannot finish! not enough time!

55. Emily T | May 15th, 2008 at 2:55 am
I HAD to pay immediately after booking because I took AirAsia’s Flight + Hotel package. I just did abit of calculations and realize that it’s not very much cost-saving o.O Haha clubbing really isn’t on my list of To Do’s in Bangkok but my boyfriend insist that we check out Bedsupperclub so thank youuu for all the tips and for all your very enlightening write-ups on BKK. :)
56. Ping | May 15th, 2008 at 10:17 am
Cool place! Hehe, okay, you save my time to look for places to stay :-D
57. UncleJosh | May 15th, 2008 at 10:42 am

By the way, anyone have any idea on Imm Hotel?
60. Eleanor | May 15th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
i was supposed to stay there on my honeymoon but they screwed up my reservations plus all these rooms didn’t exist a few months back… sob. ended up staying at luxx hotel instead, which was small and minimal, but great breakfast in bed.
oh well, i guess this calls for another trip to bkk… :p

How do you find out these quirky places??? =) I love these kind of stuff as well but it seems pretty hard to find them sometimes.
