"I was initially very pleased with this hotel: The location is excellent, right next to the Erawan Shrine and surrounded by major shopping malls, making it incredibly convenient for shopping. The room is spacious, set up as a one-bedroom suite, and comes with a washer-dryer, microwave, and even a double-door bathroom, which was quite practical. The decor had an “old money” elegance that I really liked, and the view from the window made me feel like I was in a retired Manhattan finance tycoon’s home.
However, after a few days, a series of issues significantly detracted from my experience:
1. **No Blackout Curtains in the Bedroom**: The most unbearable issue was that the bedroom only had translucent blinds, which meant I woke up at dawn (and sunrise comes early in Bangkok). Sleep is crucial when traveling, and this design choice is completely unreasonable.
2. **Extremely Inflexible Refund Policy**: I had prepaid for 5 nights with breakfast. When I needed to check out one day early due to an urgent matter back home, and despite informing the hotel two days in advance, the front desk stated that not a single penny would be refunded—not even for the separate breakfast charge. Compared to the flexibility often found with flight changes, the hotel's unyielding policy left a very poor impression.
3. **Severe Afternoon Traffic Congestion**: While the location is central, be aware: the surrounding area gets extremely congested after 4 PM. I once spent almost an hour driving just 3 kilometers. You'll need to plan your outings carefully to avoid peak times.
In summary: The hotel's facilities and location are its strong points, but it clearly falls short in crucial areas like ensuring good sleep and customer care. Your decision to stay here will depend on whether you prioritize convenience over a comfortable night's sleep and flexible travel arrangements."
