The hotel is great in service, 5-star qualified. And this review gives you the info that you cannot find elsewhere while doing the research on Bangkok accommodation, especially when you are traveling with an infant.
- Main road that you must pass if you need to go to the hotel is always busy, best shortest way is to walk.
- The hotel locates in a quiet road compared to the busy Sukhumvit area. It gives you the tranquil vibes and definitely not need to worry about traffic noise, about 200m walk to the main road but isolated enough. Noise insulation is also good.
- Few 7-11 around the corners, 5-min walk.
- The hotel is old, so the furnitures and room design are outdated. Still comfy enough, but aware that:
>> The TV is cable only, no access to Internet or Youtube. I do white noise to put my baby to sleep and had to improvise since I cannot open Youtube to play the sound.
>> If you come from SEA, no toilet bum guns, be prepared
>> The bathroom wash basin is made of marble, it gives the cold touches. If you have to quick wash your baby it might be too cold.
>> No proper closets, only a small space to hang clothes. No bathroom robes.
>> Pool is there but a bit small. It’s not busy most of the time except during the afternoon when some go there for tanning.
- Staffs are indeed super friendly and professional.
- Hotel provides free shuttle tuktuk, unlike Movenpick, it only rides on Sukhumvit 18 and 20 roads, which are small roads that connect with the main road. So if you plan to go to Terminal 21, you need to walk instead. I book the hotel partly because I expect to use the tuktuk but end up never using the service.
- Stroller is possible but you will need to wheel it on the road most of the time because the pavement is not convenient
Overall, the experience was 4 star for me, some minor uncomfy details and most of all, the busy area that is the minus point for me
