My wife and I stayed at Marriott Courtyard Bangkok for three nights. We stayed in a Premier corner room for one night (average to poor value) in a breakfast/Madam Tussaud package and a standard Deluxe room-only (very good to excellent) for two nights. We arrived at 9:30 on a Thursday night, and they explained that the Premier corner rooms on all the other floors except the third floor were occupied. The view in most of those corner rooms on floors up to about the 26th floor must have been quite spectacular, but the view in our room was of a multi-storey car park and apartments (and the cost was the same, which kind of smarts). In the Premier room the two "double" beds were between single and queen size, and there is a connecting door to the next room. Also, there was a gap between the frame and the Venetian blinds in the bathroom so that any amateur stargazer at the right level in the apartment building across the courtyard could look down at night and get a partial but reasonably exciting eyeful. The next day, Friday, the hotel was full, and there were no other corner rooms available, so we asked to change to a Deluxe room where the price was more in line with value received. We liked the Deluxe room layout. The view out the window was of other buildings, but as seen from the 10th floor, not as seen from the bottom of a pit. We loved the utility of the glass window between the bedroom and the bathroom sink with round mirrors facing both ways because light from outside came into the sink area, and it provided a mirror in the main room. We see that some reviewers didn’t like it because light from the bathroom shines into the bedroom.

The staff were well trained and just great. They said that the hotel was fully booked while we were there, but we never had to wait to get the attention of people at reception, and all of the staff were relaxed and helpful. Check-in and check-out was easy. They froze our ice pack without incident. They changed our room quickly and efficiently. The room service people were very helpful, asking after we had eaten if we needed any more bottles of water to supplement the two free (500 ml) bottles provided each day. You need more than a couple of bottles if two people make coffee/tea and brush their teeth daily.

As in all Courtyard hotels, there are more than enough electrical outlets available. TV channels suit every nationality, but the only movie feature channels are Universal Channel, Sun Cinema, and Filmax. The wi-fi start-up screen says wi-fi is free to Marriott Rewards members, but in-room wi-fi and LAN are currently free to all guests during this "promotion" time. For access, guests just key in room number and last name. It costs Bht 200 to print boarding passes, etc., in the computer-printer room next to the lobby.

The free Madame Tussauds tickets that were part of the breakfast/Tussaud packet were worth about $20 each, retail. It was easy to get there on the Skytrain (board the Skytrain in front of the Four Seasons Hotel and get off at National Stadium at the end of the line, take the pedestrian bridge to the third floor of Discovery, and go up to the sixth floor), even when it was raining. It provides photo opportunities with images of famous people with hats and other props.

We had great good luck with Momo café the first day, ordering green chicken curry with coconut milk and mango with sticky rice. Both were delicious. The breakfast was very good also, but it would have been expensive if it were not in the packet. We ordered wood fired baked chicken and tom yum goong from room service, and neither was very good. There were only a few slices of mushroom and a few shrimp in the tom yum goong. The Courtyard is only a short walk away from the restaurants in the Four Seasons and Eve at Hansar Hotel.

In sum, if you get a more spacious Premier corner room on a high floor, the views of the Royal Bangkok Sports Club and cityscape should be lovely, but you can’t be sure until you get there; you can just be sure that you’ll pay the upper floor price. We felt our total experience came out at very good, and we would recommend the hotel, especially if you want to increase or redeem your Marriott Rewards points. We wouldn't stay there again because we chose the hotel for the view.

This modern hotel has spacious bedrooms that are tastefully designed, comfortable, and with good Internet connections. The staff are friendly, helpful and efficient. The location is within walking distance of major shopping district, and even closer to the excellent light railway, that can quickly whisk you to the river and a great choice of boats with which to tour the river, canals and stunning palaces and temples. The location is so great that given the choice of what seemed a good Thai and international restaurant in the hotel, Momo, and a short walk to multiple local choices - I regret that I cannot comment on Momo. It was a short stay.

This hotel is impeccably clean, new and modern. The staff is very attentive and hard-working. The room we had was gorgeous. The breakfast buffet was wonderful with a nice mix of Western and Asian fare. We chose it per the recommendation of a friend who travels a lot on business to Bangkok. When we saw how low on the ratings of Trip Advisor it was, we were a little nervous. Well, rest assured, if you are considering staying at this hotel that you will be very pleasently surprised by everything about it. We were there during Chinese New Year in 2012 and paid about $145 per night, with breakfast. We would have loved this hotel even if it had been $350 per night. The fact it was so inexpensive made it all the more enjoyable.

This was my first time staying at a Marriott hotel and it is beautiful especially for the price we paid. It is centrally located within walking distance to heaps of shopping centres and train stations. The rooms were very clean and a the shower was a decent size and water pressure.
The staff were extremely nice and accommodating.
The hotel restaurant also provides a great breakfast! One of the best hotel restaurants I've ever experienced!
Highly recommend this hotel!
