Review of Bless Residence
3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 21 Oct 2010
We stayed for a month. It's like a serviced apartment (without a washing machine, restaurant, or room service) more than a hotel. For short stays, it makes more sense to be in a hotel. For long stays, the large room size works in its favor.
Its new. Its well executed and the rooms are large and comfortable. Its also situated in the middle of a bunch of bars, pubs, massage parlours, and restaurants, but its slightly far from the tourist areas. Its more an upmarket Thai and expat area (the Thai prime minster lives down the road). It's 5 minutes walk from the skytrain and across from the Emporium shopping mall.
Its a friendly place - the staff and the owners will all get to know you - and it feels like home, but then don't expect 5 star service.

WOW, where do I start? The hotel was better than described and the staff could not have been better, The special rate was a bargain (although the 3% credit card charge is a bit steep) and I would stay there again in a heartbeat. The street food was great and did not miss having a hotel restaurant, for those who want western food there are great eateries within 100 metres. If you stay here dont ever miss the pool deck on level 8, Stunning BKK views at night and a cool retreat by day. Do yourself a favour and stay there (but dont spread the word or the prices will invariably go up) Handy to Skytrain and cabs are cheap as chips (give the tuk tuk s a wide berth)....Bon Voyage

I just submitted a very positive review about The Legacy and now I need to write a less positive one about Bless Residence on Sukhumvit 33 which I tried out a week earlier. As only one review is available this might help you to make decision.

After seeing the web site, pictures and pricing it seemed very good it was not good enough.

Good; The staff was very nice and kind. The location is great as its very close the sky train, many very nice restaurants and shopping. The bed was fine. The internet worked well. (Bless is located in an “upscale” pick up - girlie bar street - but those activities are kept at a fairly low profile in comparison with other main drags in BKK; so I think this not so much of a problem if you are not in to this and/or traveling with a family.)

Not so great; A sparsely and cheaply furnitured room which was large but not very functional. The hot water was not working well and provided by a small electric heater unit resulting in irregular temperatures. Worse, it was not clean and I found hairs in the bath tub, and the bath math was really NOT clean. Then, when paying you need to pay the vendors card fees of 3% when paying with Visa or MC and 5% with AMEX. This is not acceptable even if its displayed clearly at the reception. I prepaid a reservation so did not know this beforehand. All in all it looks much better then it really is; it never lives up to what’s promised on the web site which is good 4* accommodation; its really only 3*. The location very close to the Emporium is great, but for the same price or less you get a much better deal elsewhere.
