Top hotels in Makkasan
The Berkeley Hotel Pratunam
Yes, great. The hotel should have a small convenience store in the lobby. Many guests have young families and children need snacks and little souvenirs. It’s not easy for them to go out. The store will provide a great service to guests and also generate additional income for the hotel.
