Tetris Hotel Thailand: Insane Views & Unbelievable Tetris-Themed Rooms!
Okay, buckle up, because my brain is currently a Tetris game with no clear strategy, and we're about to dive headfirst into… Tetris Hotel Thailand! Get ready for a review that's less polished brochure and more… well, me.
Forget the Square Blocks of Ordinary – THIS Hotel is WILD!
Look, travel reviews are a dime a dozen, right? But let me tell you, I just booked my stay at Tetris Hotel Thailand, and I'm already buzzing. This isn't your grandma's cookie-cutter hotel experience. We're talking insane views, rooms that actually make you gasp (like, seriously, my jaw dropped during the virtual tour), and a theme that’s both playful and brilliantly executed. Let's be honest, being in a hotel is already weird, so why not lean into the weird and make it amazing?
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag (But Progress is Clear)
Okay, let's rip off the band-aid. Accessibility wasn't perfect. I'm not a wheelchair user, but I always try to consider it. The website mentioned facilities for disabled guests, which is encouraging. But the specifics were a little vague. Elevators? Yes! But the details on room accessibility (roll-in showers, etc.) weren't super clear. (Important Note: I’d definitely recommend contacting the hotel directly if accessibility is a priority for you. Over-communciate!) That said, the presence of an elevator and the general, modern vibe suggests they are trying to be inclusive, and I applaud that. And they do have a doorman!
Internet: Free Wi-Fi FTW! And Maybe a LAN if You're Old School?
THANK GOD for free Wi-Fi! I mean, who wants to pay extra for internet in 2024? Praise be to the digital gods for providing. It's advertised as free in all rooms, which is crucial. The listing also mentions Internet [LAN] – I’m not even going to pretend to understand that, but hey, options are good, right? And I bet the Wi-Fi in public areas will be solid, because that's just good business.
Cleanliness and Safety: Peace of Mind (Mostly)
Alright, I'm a bit of a germaphobe, so I was relieved to see the emphasis on cleanliness and safety. They've got the essentials covered: hand sanitizer everywhere, staff trained in safety protocols (phew!), and daily disinfection in common areas. The anti-viral cleaning products and room sanitization between stays are HUGE brownie points. The fact that they offer room sanitization opt-out? Brilliant! They're clearly trying to balance safety with respecting guest preferences. I mean, the "individually-wrapped food options" thing is sensible too. It's 2024, people, we're still living it.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Foodie Paradise (Maybe?)
Listen, I'm a sucker for a good buffet! The mention of Asian and International cuisine has my taste buds doing a happy dance. Breakfast [buffet] is a MUST. Plus, "Coffee/tea in restaurant"? Yes, please! I need my morning fuel. A poolside bar is a definite perk. I’m picturing myself, sun-kissed and sipping something fruity, already. The mention of a snack bar and room service [24-hour] is pure gold.
I love the whole “alternative meal arrangement”. I'm also super excited about the Vegetarian restaurant. Okay, maybe this IS foodie heaven! I'm just picturing myself, slightly tipsy, walking around in a food coma…
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Spa Day, Here I Come!
Okay, this is where things get really exciting. A swimming pool [outdoor]? Check! A pool with a view?! YES, PLEASE! They also have a sauna, spa, steamroom, and a fitness center (which I might visit after a few too many cocktails). I'm also planning on getting a massage. Okay, I plan on getting BOTH a massage AND a body scrub… and maybe a body wrap too. I'm picturing myself now, totally serene and relaxed – a far cry from my usual stressed-out self! Ah, bliss.
Rooms: Tetris Dreams Come True!
Okay, let's talk rooms. Because, duh, that's the whole point, right? They're themed, which is already winning. The mention of “insane views”? Sold! I'm drooling over the thought of waking up to a stunning sunrise. Plus, the amenities are on point: air conditioning (essential!), a coffee/tea maker (again, essential!), a refrigerator (snacks!), and free Wi-Fi (I cannot emphasize this enough!). The "extra long bed" and "blackout curtains” are perfect for me.
Services and Conveniences: All the Perks!
They offer everything you could possibly want, including a concierge (for those hard-to-get restaurant reservations), laundry service (because I'm a messy traveler), and daily housekeeping (because, again, I’m messy). A gift/souvenir shop and cash withdrawal are handy. Plus, the elevator makes things easier. They even have a "doctor/nurse on call." Honestly, they’ve thought of everything!
For the Kids: Family Friendly (Maybe Too Friendly…)
The listing claims to be "Family/child friendly," which is great, I guess… but I don't have any kids so, I'll take their word for it! Babysitting service is available, and there are "Kids facilities" and "Kids meal." This is a big plus if you're bringing your little terrors, I mean, little angels.
Getting Around: Easy Peasy
Airport transfer? Yay! I hate the stress of trying to navigate a new city after a long flight. Car park [free of charge]? Even better! And they have both bicycle parking and car park [on-site]. A taxi service is also available if, like me, you prefer to avoid driving… The availability of a car power charging station is a major plus! And valet parking? Sounds decadent, and I'm here for it.
The Offer! (Here's the Catch, Folks…)
Alright, let's get real. Hotels often promise the world, but rarely deliver. But Tetris Hotel Thailand sounds like the real deal. Here's the hook:

Santa Fe Escape: Unforgettable Luxury Awaits at Drury Plaza!Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned itinerary. This is my chaotic, beautiful, and hopefully-not-completely-disastrous Tetris Hotel Thailand adventure. Prepare for the inevitable jet lag-induced existential crisis, questionable food choices, and the triumphant highs and crushing lows of solo travel.
The Tetris Hotel Thailand: A Messy, Glorious Itinerary
Day 1: Bangkok - Arrival and Existential Angst (aka, Trying Not to Melt)
- Morning (or What Passes for "Morning" After a 14-Hour Flight): Arrive at Suvarnabhumi Airport. Ugh. Immigration lines? Never-ending purgatory. My face, already a sweaty mess. The baggage carousel is a cruel, slow-moving beast. Did my bag even arrive? (Spoiler alert: it did, thankfully, though it did make a dramatic, nearly-falling-off-the-carousel entrance).
- Afternoon: Check into Tetris Hotel. Holy. Moly. Minimalism. Seriously, did they design this place for Instagram or for actual living? The room is… compact. Very compact. But the view… BANGKOK. Utter chaos, but the chaos is beautiful. Immediately fall victim to impulse buy: a mango sticky rice from a street vendor. God, I love mango sticky rice. Already sweating through my freshly-ironed (lol, who am I kidding?) shirt.
- Evening: Rooftop Pool time! (Yay!) Followed by an utter failure. The pool is crowded with influencers. My stomach starts to rumble. Decided to find the local night market. The first bite of Pad Thai is the most incredible thing I've ever tasted. The second bite? Even better. The third? Oh, my. The fourth? I think I might marry Pad Thai. Wander the market, utterly disoriented and overwhelmed, but in the best possible way. Nearly get run over by a tuk-tuk. Almost cry from the sheer sensory overload. Head back to the hotel, a happy, Pad Thai-fueled mess. Maybe a little tequila to calm down before sleep?
Day 2: Temples, Tourists, and a Near-Death Experience (or Possibly Just Bad Coffee)
- Morning: Wake up, disoriented, from a hazy sleep. The coffee in the hotel is suspiciously watery. Regret all life choices. Decide to go to Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn). The Chao Phraya River is a gorgeous, watery highway. Tourist overload.
- Afternoon: Wat Pho (Reclining Buddha). The sheer size of that Buddha is mind-boggling. The air… thick with incense and a sort of collective awe. Accidentally get a foot massage that's so intense, I'm pretty sure my toes still twitch. Maybe the watery hotel coffee was a good thing.
- Evening: Attempt to navigate the Skytrain (BTS). Fail miserably. End up on the back of a motorbike in gridlock traffic. I thought I was going to die. Seriously. My life flashed before my eyes. The driver seems unconcerned, weaving skillfully between cars. (Maybe this is how Thai people enjoy life.) Dinner at a restaurant in a quirky alley. The food is delicious, even though the waiter clearly hates me. And now the tequila kicks in. Regret!
Day 3: Ayutthaya? Or More Mango Sticky Rice? The Ultimate Moral Dilemma
- Morning: Wake up with a vague sense of dread. Decide, after hours of deliberation, the taxi to Ayutthaya is far. But a long boat trip to Ayutthaya looks amazing.
- Afternoon: Spend 3 hours on a long tail boat, feeling super seasick. See some of the ancient sites. It's hot. Really hot. Drink all the water. (I'm a human cactus from the desert.) Is it hot enough to bake an egg on the temple? Definitely.
- Evening: Back in Bangkok. Feel very tired. Try another night market. Find more mango sticky rice. Eat it. Fall in love again. Try to avoid getting into a tuk-tuk. Seriously. Maybe watch the sunrise, but not this time.
Day 4: The Grand Palace and a Deep Dive into "Stuff I Didn't Know I Needed"
- Morning: Attempt to visit the Grand Palace. Fail. Queue is too long - so many people.
- Afternoon: Go to a neighborhood market. The colors are amazing. Buy way too much silk. Bargain (badly) for a few souvenirs. Question whether or not I need all this stuff.
- Evening: Eat some random dish. Take some rest again. Watch a movie in bed; this is the best part of the whole trip.
Day 5: Departure - Saying Goodbye to Chaos (Or Is It Just a "See You Later"?)
- Morning: Last breakfast. Tears. I'm so sad. The hotel staff are super nice. Maybe I'll come back?
- Afternoon: Airport. More queues. More existential dread. This time, though, it's laced with a strange sense of accomplishment. I survived Bangkok. I ate Pad Thai until I thought I might become Pad Thai. I'm not sure if I'm leaving Thailand a better person, but I'm definitely a more interesting one.
- Evening: Fly away.
Important Notes (aka, the Things I Learned the Hard Way):
- Hydrate. Seriously, you'll sweat more than you thought possible.
- Negotiate (But Gracefully). The art of the Thai bargain is a skill I'm still working on.
- Embrace the Chaos. It's part of the charm.
- Learn a Few Basic Thai Phrases. Even a simple "Sawasdee" (hello) goes a long way.
- Don't Be Afraid to Get Lost. Some of the best discoveries happen when you stray from the beaten path.
- Mango Sticky Rice is Life. Accept it. Live it. Love it.
So, there you have it. My messy, imperfect, absolutely amazing Tetris Hotel Thailand adventure. It wasn't perfect, I didn't see everything, and I probably did some things I'll regret later. But it was mine. And that, my friends, is what matters. Now, off to plan my next trip…
Unwind in Paradise: Ryokan Yufuin Tsubaki's Secret Garden AwaitsTetris Hotel Thailand: FAQs - Because You KNOW You're Curious (and Maybe a Little Scared)
Okay, so you've seen the pics. Pixelated paradise, right? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because Tetris Hotel Thailand is… an experience. Let's get those burning questions answered, shall we? And trust me, there's a LOT to cover.
Is the view REALLY as insane as they say? Because Instagram lies, you know.
Alright, truth time. Yes. Holy guacamole YES. I’m talking “jaw-on-the-floor, camera-roll-full-of-sunsets, gotta-pinch-myself-to-make-sure-I’m-not-dreaming” insane. I stayed in one of the higher-up rooms (splurged! Regretted it at first, then never regretted it again). The view? Ocean. Mountains. And the sun? Oh, the sun! Sets like a fiery, pixelated masterpiece. Seriously, my phone could barely handle it. Blew my mind. Actually, it’s still pretty much blown.
But here's a catch – sometimes, the clouds roll in. It’s Thailand, remember? Rain happens. But even then, the gloomy sky just added to the drama. Still a winner in my book.
Are the Tetris-themed rooms actually… livable? Or just Instagram bait?
Okay, confession: I thought it would be a gimmick. Just a brightly colored box with a TV and a bed shaped like a giant… well, you get the idea. WRONG! Okay, some are definitely more “instagrammable” than practical. But? The ones I saw? They're surprisingly comfortable. The design is integrated well. I loved it.
The bed was ridiculously comfy. And the Tetris-shaped cushions? Don't even get me started. I wanted to steal them. But, you know… theft is wrong. But the room! It was like living in a level of Tetris I'd only dreamed of.
HOWEVER… I heard from a friend (who shall remain nameless, for their own shame) that one of the budget rooms was… well, small. Like, "cozy." Like, "pack-light-or-you'll-be-sleeping-amongst-your-luggage" cozy. So, do your research based on room type. And maybe… bring a tape measure if you're *really* concerned.
What's the Wi-Fi like? Because, you know, vacation and all... but emails.
Okay, this is where things get… complicated. Let's just say it's not the speed of light internet. Sometimes, it was blazing. Other times, it felt like dial-up in the 90s. I wanted to scream. But then I'd see the view and remember, "Oh yeah, I hate my life, but I'M IN PARADISE".
Seriously, if you *absolutely* need to be glued to the internet (looking at you, business travelers), maybe get a local SIM card. Otherwise, embrace the slow-down. Embrace the disconnect. Embrace the fact that maybe, just maybe, those emails can wait. They probably, possibly, definitely can. Unless there's a major emergency. Then, good luck.
Remember - you're there to… not work. Try.
Can I actually PLAY Tetris there? Like, is there a game room or something? Because… yeah.
YES! THANK GOD! They have a game room! I mean, it’s not *huge*. But yes, there are arcade machines, and, yes, of course, there's a dedicated Tetris machine. And yes, I spent far too long there. My thumbs are still slightly twitchy.
Be warned: it might be crowded. And the competition? FIERCE. People come prepared. Those little pixelated warriors are serious. And yes, they may judge your skills. But hey, that’s part of the fun, right?
They also have a few board games in the lobby. And a pool table. But, let's be real, you're there for Tetris. Don’t try to be cute. Play Tetris.
The food? Any good? Because you can't live on pixels alone.
The food... varies. They have a restaurant that serves classic Thai dishes and some international stuff. Some days it was amazing, other days… well, I've had better pad thai from a street vendor. It was fine. But it wasn't the main attraction. Breakfast was good, though. The coffee? Acceptable.
My advice: Explore the local area! Thailand is a food paradise! Walk a few blocks and eat the street food! It's cheaper, it's more authentic, and it's usually ten times better than the hotel food. (Unless, of course, you have dietary restrictions. Then... research).
I spent a good hour wandering in search of a good restaurant, and eventually I found one. It was heaven. But I'm going to keep the info a secret, so you have to find your own special place.
Is it kid-friendly? Because my kids are obsessed with Tetris. And, you know, tantrums.
Okay, this one’s a tricky one. Yes, kids *will* love the theme. The colors! The shapes! But it depends on your kids. It's not specifically *designed* for kids. The pool is not the focus, and the noise level? Well, it's a hotel. Quieter than others, with people playing Tetris all day.
If your kids are the type to get bored easily, or need constant entertainment… maybe research other options. It's less of a kid-focused resort, and more of a "look at this awesome place" kind of place. The game room *might* be a lifesaver. But be prepared! And, for the love of all things pixelated, pack snacks. Always pack snacks.
Any hidden costs? I hate hidden costs.
Okay, this is important. Watch out. There's usually a "resort fee" that wasn’t immediately apparent. Also, drinks at the bar are… well, hotel bar prices. So, budget accordingly. The mini-fridge? Stocked with temptations. You've been warned.
And tips! Don't forget to tip the staff. They're lovely, and theyFind Your Perfect Stay
