Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms have a unique layout, with the bathroom positioned by the window and the room area between the bathroom and the door, creating a daring design choice. The rooms were not overly fragranced, which was a pleasant change from other places in Thailand.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were big and clean, although they felt a little tired, not quite achieving a 5-star experience; however, considering the value for money, this detail was not a major concern for me. The bathroom setup was unusual with an all-glass design and a view of an old concrete building. The service was very friendly and accommodating, but there were slight lapses in professionalism. The location, while not ideal for seniors due to a bit of distance from everything, was great for families and conveniently close to the Pratunam night market and BTS station. The dining experience was appealing with a wide range of delicious options, although the absence of eggs was a downside. Overall, the hotel offered good value for the price paid.
The hotel had clean and very comfortable rooms, with friendly and helpful staff. However, the location was not the greatest for my needs. The dining experience was fantastic with a wide selection, and the facilities were great overall.
The hotel offers beautiful and spacious rooms with a big bathtub at a good price, even though the old-fashioned decor may not suit everyone. The friendly service was overall amazing, though there was a minor hiccup with advice on nearby attractions. The location is convenient for families but a bit distant from the vibrant nightlife scene. The dining experience was fantastic with a unique breakfast, and the facilities are well-equipped and cater to guests' needs.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were beautiful and spacious, but they were not as clean as I expected. On the plus side, they provided complimentary bottled water and convenient extra toiletries like a toothbrush kit, emery board kit, and shaving kit. However, cleanliness could have been better. The service was outstanding, with the staff being friendly, helpful, and even offering free drop-off at the nearest station. They were also honest, which I appreciated. The hotel's location was convenient, close to public transport and fantastic night markets for food and shopping. The dining experience was decent, with a good variety of Asian food but more in line with a 4-star level. Despite these minor drawbacks, the stay was overall enjoyable.
The hotel offers comfortable and stylish rooms, but some may find the view from the bathroom odd with an old concrete building. The service is hospitable and friendly, making guests feel welcome. Its location is convenient, especially for early airport departures. The dining options vary with some food not meeting expectations.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms offered a nice view and felt very luxurious, but they weren't as clean as I expected. The soundproofing was lacking, making it noisy with corridor sounds disturbing our peace.
I had a comfortable stay with a really cozy bed, despite the room being a bit old-fashioned, it was a good deal for the price. The layout was unique with the bathroom by the window and the room space between the bathroom and door, although it felt a bit small.
The hotel offers a stunning view from the rooms and a great variety of breakfast options. While the cleanliness could be improved and the rooms feel a bit tired, considering the value for money, these aspects are not significant drawbacks.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms, although not very soundproof, were clean and well-appointed. The service was top-notch with helpful and nice staff who went above and beyond, even providing a free drop-off and assisting with various requests. The location is perfect for transportation but may not suit everyone's preferences. The dining experience was wonderful, offering a wide range of tasty options. Overall, a great choice for those looking for a comfortable stay.
