I am a Travel Agent, and have tried to provide as much info as possible, if however, you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
We stayed at the hotel in March 2008, and we have booked to go back in 2009 on our next Thailand holiday.
This hotel is not 5star, it is not advertised as such. It is an above average hotel, in a fantastic location, offering great value for money.
The hotel is located up a side street off of Sukhumvit Road, so do not be alarmed on arrival.
Check in is quick, and the bell boys bring your bags to the room quickly.
We were upgraded on arrival to a Suite, which was lovely, a re-decorated room and it was huge. It was our wedding anniversary whilst there, and we were given a fruit basket and a cake delivered to our room, which was a lovely touch.
We paid for breakfast, however, on our next visit, we have opted for room only, as there are alternative places nearby, which is alot cheaper than the hotel buffet breakfast. The breakfast is adequate, the area is a little cramp, and quite busy. Just outside of the hotel is a restaurant called Gullivers, which offers breakfast, also down the road is a Starbucks for a coffee and a muffin.
Also, just outside of the hotel are a couple of massage places, which are fab at the end of the day, when your feet are tired and aching. Very inexpensive, about 200 bahts for an hour, and then 1minute across the road back to the hotel.
The swimming pool area is very small, and the shower area is not the best, but if you want to sit out for while its fine.
We never ate in the hotel, as there are so many good restaurants out and about - if you want more info on restaurants, then do get in touch.
In the evening on Sukhumvit Road there is a nightly market, which is good, but Patpong Market (taxi ride away) is much cheaper, and they barter a lot more.
Staff service throughout very good, very friendly and attentive. The bar area is nice, and we were given complimentary vouchers for a soft cocktail drink at the bar, which you can reclaim at your leisure.
I know that not all rooms have been upgraded, but ask your travel agent to contact them about 10days before your arrival to request an updated/refurbished room. If you have any queries with your room etc, then speak with reception, as they are very accommodating.
If you are looking for a central hotel, at a reasonable cost, you cannot, in my opinion go wrong with this hotel. Any questions, feel free to contact me.
