Ace Od
This is my first day. The staffs are all so friendly and good. Services from staff are 5/5 full stars. They even help to bring our suitcase. Unfortunately, the facilities are bad, broken tuktuk, broken lift, which we ordered here bcs they said they provide tuktuk service :( Cannot imagine the staff bring our suitcase using stairs, they must be very tired. Room also small for this price, and we can...

Please do not book this place. It is pathetic, they do not offer everything they show. The swimming pool is smaller than a bathtub, elevator doesn't work, the claim they have tuk tuk service to nearest skytrain but the tuk tuk is out of service for the past 3 months and they do not plan to fix it. They do not allow early check in by a min also, they give room keys exactly at 2pm only. They do not ...

Absolutely ridiculous hotel. Service is horrendous. Check-ins are allowed only at 2pm on the dot, not any minute earlier. Swimming pool is a joke - it’s smaller than your bathtub. Elevators weren’t working when we were there. Tuktuk service has been out of order for 3 months. While they fail on so many things on their end, we can’t even take a few slices of watermelon to our room - even after we p...
Notes de Na
I have been there to pick up my tourists so no comment on the room. I found the hotel staff provide a nice hospitality. Lobby area and restroom are neat and clean. Swimming pool available. Comfy and cozy vibes. However, It is not quite practical in terms of the transportation, but if you plan to stay in town, yes! Not that far from the BTS station. The interesting places to visit is Jim Thompson h...

Fast check in, the servant helps you to bring the luggage. The room is relatively small, but the presence of a balcony makes it feel more spacious. However, smoking is prohibited in both the room and the balcony, which seems unreasonable since the balcony is an outdoor space. The hotel’s soundproofing is poor, making it easy to hear conversations from the hallway. Additionally, the breakfast selec...
