Very comfortable and large clean rooms. The best part was how quiet it was.

Good but no cigar
Sadly the hotel appears to have taken a step backwards. The toilet was running all night and despite telling the staff it remained like that for two more nights. Food was not as good as the last visit (i would call it average) but the cost was noticably higher. Bed not very comfortable and pillows that make your head sweat coupled with an oddly working A/C made for uncomfortable nights. Very limited outside parking facilities as huge car park next door is being worked on. Cannot in all honesty recomment this place.
The hotel didnt reserve us a room, we had to wait for an hour😶
The other day, they send a bottle of wine and fruits for our honey moon and the manager apologized for the inconvenience.
I absolutely love this hotel. It’s an older building but, they do an amazing job at the upkeep. The rooms are huge and very comfortable. The pool is nothing spectacular, but the gym is great for any kind of workout you want. Their breakfast buffet is hot and fresh and tasty and very reasonably priced. And I can’t forget the spa! It’s a little pricey for Bangkok, but it’s clean and comfortable and massage. Therapists are amazing!
Unfortunately the ignorant guest next door put the television on full noise at 5am - so booked and paid 2 nights but because of this ignorant selfish guest I didn’t stay the extra night
What was really unique about the property was location. location, and location. If you have any business with the Thai government, in my case Thai Immigration, you are in close walking distance of all Government offices! My assessment of the hotel is prefect! The only negative is we had to leave.
This is a quality property. Check-in was very efficient, the room was spacious and comfortable and everything worked well. I particularly noted the uniformly high standard of service amongst all the staff, including the check-in staff, back office management, dining room staff and even the shuttle bus driver.
Our early arrival was treated very well and the staff accommodated us with all our needs plus an upgrade to an excellent suite. Their helpfulness was off the charts and allowed us to accomplish everything we needed to do in one day. The Bistro food and service was also excellent. Thank you..
Hotel is very nice and the room was very clean
Make sure you have the address handy when you get a cab since some of them didn’t even know where the hotel was located
