Great service for the staff. Loved the 7th floor pool! Very good buffet breakfast. Hotel not close to major tourist attractions (palace, temples) and traffic is terrible in Bangkok so took long Uber rides.

The view from my room of downtown Bangkok was really nice.
This was a good hotel. The bed was very hard and they only give you two water bottle for free no matter how long you are staying. We ended up walking to the gas station nearby and bought a pack of waters. The shower was broken when arrived (rain shower portion shot water at the ceiling). They came up promptly to fix it but only patched it up. It still shot water at the ceiling but much less. enough went through the shower head for it to be useable.
The location was conveniently close to our excursion meet ups so we didnt get stuck in traffic but there is no convenient metro in walking distance so you have to use grab to go anywhere.
Very good hotel. The room was nice and clean, pool was awesome and breakfast was amazing. 7/11 and food close by- very good experience!

Great room. Massive. Bathroom lighting not very bright though. Parts of the building are very tired. The pool area especially. Tape over the cracks in pool glass walls etc. This place has some of the nicest, most helpful staff I’ve ever come across.
1…. Receptionist lied to me upon checking in saying No double rooms available… After saying I wished to cancel a Double room appeared.
2…..No bar open
3…. No restaurant open
4…. No spa open
5…. No Buffet breakfast …. 4 cardboard containers delivered to your room door.
6…. Advertised “ Cable TV” Nothing faintly English or American, All Thai or Chinese
7…… The in room safe not bolted down, I picked it up off the wardrobe floor!!!! Crazy.

Mainly hotel meant for overnight Chinese tourists
Hotel is meant for Chinese tourist coming in load of buses. Very noisy even past midnight
Location is far from city, expect to use taxi/grab as no shuttle service being provided
Breakfast is too crowded with overnight packed tourists and spread of breakfast very limited cater for Chinese.
I have stayed in so many hotels of very high standard to normal and this hotel should only 3 star instead of 4star.
Complimentary Breakfast is not good. Its a four star hotel but the live counter of egg or any other is not available. The staff is there not cooperative.
Nice hotel to stay and good accommodation. Feel good to sleep.

Honestly check in was okay of course their was a language barrier but I’ll survive. When i entered my room i instantly needed to check on my children the WiFi was horrible being one of my children were super sick it felt horrible not being able to communicate. Then i slept horrible the bed was so hard it was beyond unbearable. Overall i wouldn’t stay here ever again! And when i asked front desk for another WiFi they hung up on me i guess because they didn’t understand. The pool was poorly maintained as well looked green.
Nice hotel,friendly staff, very clean, good view i love it

Staff are lovely, as is the pool area. However breakfast was poor and very cold. We were disappointed with this. Also disappointed that expedia said this hotel had a free airport shuttle to find out after we booked that this was only for the nearest BTS Station and there was a large charge for transfers.
Great hotel, very friendly staff from the lady at the entrance to hotel to the reception staff
definitely will come back again to this hotel

Value for money but some issues. Staff have very limited English. Breakfast was fine but for lunch and dinner choice is very limited and service poor. The cafe only serves coffee tea and some cold drinks but no food. Gym equipment needed servicing. You'll need to rely on taxis for transport as no close mass transport.
Initially this hotel seemed a little out of the way but once I discovered the sky train and the river boat these were only a short taxi ride away and the best way to negotiate the main tourist attractions of Bangkok. Staff were friendly but only a few had reasonable English. The hotel caters mostly to large groups from China so this is probably the reason. The breakfasts were stunning but a bit much for me. The hotel restaurant is not well patronised but I don't understand why, it was really good. Bed was a little hard and very much just a nice hotel room you would find anywhere in the world. Lacking those little touches which I enjoyed on my previous trip to Thailand. A good stay though and a good location for someone like me who wanted to do all the touristy things. A bit out of the way if you want the night life right on your doorstep.
