“Best Concert Experience and Stay”

Travelling solo for a concert is always nerve-wracking when you're abroad, unsure of when the event will end, and if you'll find transportation to return to your accommodation. For that reason, I had decided to book my stay at the ibis IMPACT, which is part of the IMPACT complex. It was the best decision I ever made. For starters, the hotel welcomed all event-goers with a lot of enthusiasm. There was cute BTS themed graffiti on the wall behind the check-in counter, and BTS music playing in the lobby. They also provided a very helpful map that showed us how to get to the arena and the nearby shopping mall, all of which are accessible by a covered walkway and travelators to beat the heat. The walkway leads directly to the Cosmos mall, ibis' second floor, and Novotel's second floor (which is opposite the Impact exhibition halls, the Portal, and the Arena). The food at the cafe on the ground floor was absolutely delicious, and also has vegetarian versions of dishes. Buffet breakfast was also great, lots of options! Housekeeping took great care of us, and the room amenities were exactly what one expects and needs in a business hotel. The hotel arranged a limousine pickup from the airport (it's very close to Don Mueang airport, say 10 minutes, and about 30-40 minutes from Suvarnabhumi airport, but plan for 1.5 hours based on peak traffic hours). They can also help hail a local taxi if needed, though you can also download and book cabs on the Grab app (very helpful app to also order food or groceries/convenience store items). If you prefer local transport, then the Si Rat MRT station is 5-10 mins away, which you can walk to, take a Grab bike/taxi to, or a local bus. It connects you to the rest of the train network (MRT and BTS) in and around Bangkok city. Otherwise, a Grab taxi to or from the centre of Bangkok costs about 300-400 baht one way (if you take the highway). The downstairs cafe also has an outdoor seating area if you wanna enjoy the weather (the breeze blows nice and cool when it rains), as well as a smoking zone (rooms are non-smoking). The nearby Cosmos has a supermarket with food/groceries/toiletries/amenities/and a pharmacy. It also has shops, restaurants, a movie theatre, cafes, a hardware/DIY store, salons, foreign exchange counter (cheaper than the one at the airport), and a zone with massage chairs. For a hotel that's far out from the city, it still had all the conveniences I needed. Additionally, Impact halls themselves all have restaurants and cafes, as well as 7-Elevens. And the surrounding township has its own stores and shops, of course. Thank you to the ibis staff for taking such good care of us. Hope I can visit again for future concerts. (note: if you're here for a business event, then they might arrange shuttle pickup from the hotel to the exhibition hall, speak to your organiser). Also, the hotel has reliable and fast WiFi that you can log into with your device (and there are some perks if you log in from your ALL/Accor membership account). I had no trouble getting work done or browsing the internet from phone.
