This hotel is in an excellent situation for shopping as it is a 5 min walk to MBK, Siam Square and the Skytrain so it is quick and easy to travel around. We checked in at 8am due to an early flight and were shown to our rooms at 9.30 so we were able to rest before going out. I liked the design of the hotel because it was so different. Had a lovely meal there and a live band plays every night. Also pianist on lobby floor. Breakfasts were great with plenty of choice. Staff were very friendly. My daughter and I walked back from shops every evening and felt completely safe. Taxis not keen to take you to hotel from airport due to heavy traffic. Also reluctant when my husband and son tried to return to hotel from go karting stadium.

We stayed here for 2 nights before we left Bangkok. The location was very good - short walk to the Sky Train, handy 7-11 just outside for bottled water.

The room was clean and was well equipped, the only downside was being able to hear everyone who walked past the room - including the cleaners in the morning. Due to the nature of the rooms and decor there doesn't really seem to be much sound proofing. Our room was on the side of the hotel facing the train station, which you could hear until the service finished after midnight.

On our first day at the hotel, as we were leaving we were offered a Bangkok map from the man sat at the car/tour hire desk. He asked where we were going and when we said the MBK shopping centre to have a look, he told us we shouldn't go there as all the things sold were rubbish, marked it on the map a block further way (despite it being printed on the map in the correct place) and told us we should go to the Gem shop up the road to get a ring like the one he was wearing!!! Quite funny considering we had just been reading the letter the hotel leaves in the rooms warning new visitors to Bangkok about getting scammed.

We knew that after staying at a luxurious resort in Phuket, it would be hard for this hotel to match the standards set, and our expectations for this hotel took this into account. However, the hotel was dark, cold and most uninviting. The room was small and uncomfortable. Definately not the way we wanted to finish our honeymoon. We were so disappointed that we rearranged our travel arrangements and left Bangkok two days earlier than planned.

We booked a room at Siam@Siam during our honeymoon stay - I needed to be in the center of bangkok to curb my shopping cravings.

1) Location of Hotel - Great! near a train station which means we can get to anywhere very easily without taking taxis! 5 mins walk away from MBK, where we can get good, cheap food and lots of shopping.

2) Service - Was fairly good. Most of the staff were well spoken and eloquent. The only thing was that I had an odd vibe from one of the staff who seems more interested in talking and attending to Caucasians on more than one occasion. Nothing personal, I might be too sensitive.

3) Room was pretty! Well..very different. I like the layout of the room, the comfortable bed and the unique toilet door.

4) Food was ok. Quite boring honestly. They serve the same food every morning.

5) As this is still a relatively new hotel, many taxi drivers still may not know where it is. I guess by now they would, but during the time we were there, we had to give the drivers instructions to get to Siam@Siam.

Overall, a pleasant experience. prices seem to be going up and up though! I remember paying much less a year ago.
