“Not bad - but not Great”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

This place is fine, not great - it's certainly not new and it's on the wrong side of the river from most of the attractions in Bangkok. You can catch the river bus to get to the other side, which is an experience all by itself. But the service is fine, the amenities are fine (but no free wifi - negative points for that), but this place is nothing to write home about.

“Once upon a time this would have been a great hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012

The hotel is a bit early 90s in terms of decor and mod cons. It's too far to walk to anything significant and on "the wrong side of the river" for tourist attractions. Breakfast was good but laundry prices extortionate and comparable to a 5 star which it certainly is not. The pool was closed for renovation which is why I could not score this any higher. We were suckered into the cheap rates and we know why now. Do not use the hotel car, it's at least 3 times the going rate for a cab. Great view of he river at night though. The gym is a joke.

“Horrible service, run down hotel, far away location”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012

Where should I start. I booked this hotel for my parents and had tons of problem with them. First, it took them forever to process the reservation. After 30-45 min of checking in, they put my parents on the 9th floor. Two hours later, they asked my parents to move to the 7th floor because they want to do some painting the next day. The room there smells very badly, so I had to make a complain call and asked them to please move my parents to a different room. They moved my parents to a superior room even though we booked and paid for the deluxe room with river view -- not cool at all! When I suspected that my parents had phone problem in their room, I asked them to please check their phone. The response was shocking. The operator said, "there's nothing we can do, why don't you get a friend to walk over to their room and see what happen to their phone". At this point, I had it with this hotel! Never again!!!

“Good Business Hotel But No Complimentary Wi-Fi”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed 1 night as a guest of my Thai colleague. Clean, quiet and comfortable room with a view of the river. As this is the flood season, some water from the river had overflowed onto the outdoor terrace on the riverbank.
My only request is for complimentary wi-fi to be made available.

“Lots of noisy group tourists”

Very remote location, unfriendly staff, took so long to check in and out, limited TV channels.
The only good thing is the beautiful river view.
