The Eugenia is one of the best hotel experiences we have had anywhere in the world. It is rare to come across a property that gets so much right. This is not your average hotel and you need to be prepared for something different. It is a little off the beaten track as far as Bangkok goes, but we had no difficulty getting around BKL. The train station is only 10 mins walk away and the hotel has a complimentary tuktuk and were only too happy to pick us up and drop us off locally.
The service was outstanding. I am utterly perplexed at the previous review. We had nothing but helpful, effusive service. They could not have been more accommodating and understood what it took to provide excellent service to discerning customers. We are from the luxury lodge industry and know what we are talking about.
We stayed in the Eugenia Suite and thought the rooms charming and beautifully presented, filled with character and antiques. What the rooms are not are standard hotel rooms with the ubiquitous overstuffed patterned sofa and the business desk. This hotel is about style, ambience and theatre almost. It is one of the most beautiful interiors I have been in, in a small luxury hotel. Incredibly original (and for a hotel that his hard to achieve).
If there is one thing that is a little quirky, the shower over the gorgeous antique copper bath tended to spill a little water on to the bathroom floor. A towel saw to that, however.
This is a Relaix & Chateau property and deservedly so. Some people will not 'get it', however and perhaps the previous guest comes in to that category.
Bring with you just a little sense of adventure and have an incredible hotel experience. Loved it.
