I've been a regular at this property for the past 5 years, and am sad to write this review as this has been one of my favorite hotels to stay in Bangkok. You can't beat the location, hotel staff's friendliness, and the surrounding areas for dining options and convenience.
Over the years there has been a gradual downturn in hotel conditions. They must replace old furnitures that have stains, broken furnitures, and black molds that are very apparent in the shower. This last trip, I had to change rooms 3 times with these problems. Normal wear and tear over time is understandable, but it's time for the management to consider upgrading in these areas of concern.
Another big issue for me was the internet connection and TV reception. It's very, very slow at most times, and slow at best. I had to call engineer to come to the rooms to have the issue fixed 4 times to fix the issue. For those who depend on decent internet connection for work, you will have real issues...
This hotel is almost my second home when I am in Bangkok. As long as the price is reasonable, I will continue to stay as the positives outweigh the negavies I menton. However, as the prices begin to rise, I am seriously considering staying different hotels around the same area. I hope management seriously consider investing to fix those few areas.
