For this trip, we booked 4 nights at Glow Pratunam Hotel via Expedia and it was the best decision we have ever made.
After this post, if you decide to stay at Glow too (I urge you to do so!! It's AMAZINGLY COMFORTABLE), book it either through Expedia or the website itself:
Expedia: http://www.expedia.com.sg/Bangkok-Hotels-Glow-Pratunam.h5248530.Hotel-Information?&rm1=a2&semcid=gog_sg&kword=glow_pratunam!e.ZzZz.100001284989.0.28816376397.glow%20pratunam.glow_pratunam&gclid=CPmZhJm_wroCFQxBpgodJjkAcA

Booking through Expedia was fuss-free and everything was confirmed within the first hour. It was so fuss-free that I started to doubt the authenticity of my booking. But no, my worries were unnecessary, everything was fine and dandy! Each of us paid around S$50 per night (S$200 total, BARGAIN for such an amazing hotel) and we all genuinely miss the fluffy and comfortable bed now. :(
When we arrived, the counter staff asked for our passports and we were then directed to the sitting area for a welcome drink. So fancy ah this sitting area. We were given a pandan-flavoured drink (I highly suspected it's bird's nest but I was the only one who thought so hahahahaha) and after that filling up a simple form, one of our rooms was ready! We had one room with a king size bed and one room with twin beds.
The room is SUPER comfortable and extremely clean. I was so shocked because it looked like the usual high-end hotels! Even the toilets were clean and we had almost everything provided in the toilet - toothbrush, toothpaste, huge containers of soap and shampoo, bathrobes, etc. etc. etc.
On the first day, I didn't know where the hairdryer was but when I found it, I was amazed because they provided a really good quality hairdryer! Not those old and about-to-electrocute-you kind, but a brand new and multi-functional one! LOVELY.
Glow Pratunam Hotel staff members were very friendly and they could all speak English quite well. No complaints there! Thanks to them, we had a great stay and we had bottles and bottles of water stocked up constantly. When we didn't want to make up our room, they even called to ask if we needed more water! So nice right?? :)
The best part of the hotel room definitely was the beds. So comfortable and so fluffy that I wanted to stay in mine all day.
Very clean toilets!!
We had quite a view too!
Location-wise, Glow Pratunam Hotel is fantastic for shopaholics. The hotel is just located opposite of Platinum Mall and it's built on top of Shibuya 19. Central World is just around the corner (give it a maximum 10-minute walk?) and there you have it - shopping from bargain wholesale stalls and shopping from the usual high street shops!
The nearest train station, Ratchathewi BTS station (N1) is not very near, but still walkable, it's around 5-6 blocks away.
This area is notorious for the traffic jams. I guess that's the only negative thing about the hotel - the traffic jams. But hey, the hotel can't really control that right? So I'm still giving Glow Pratunam a full 10 out of 10.
If you are visiting Bangkok, do give Glow Pratunam Hotel a try! Not expensive and very very comfortable rooms. After a long day of shopping under the hot sun, coming back to such an excellent room is simply comforting. :)
