The Grand Sathorn

Very spacious room, clean, with massive wood furniture, so we didn't mind that it looks dated. King-sized bed, with a hard mattress, but to my surprise, we slept well. The AC worked well, even if a little loud. Other than the AC, we did not hear any noises. The location is fantastic! 7 minutes walk to the MRT, 10 minutes to the boat pier. Great food court (Ma! Bang Rak) next to the mall, with delicious food for very good prices. The pool on the rooftop was enjoyable, as well as the lounge area around it.

The hotel is in a great location, close to the pier and SkyTrain. It offers spacious rooms and a very nice pool with a beautiful city view. The reception is open 24/7, and there is a free luggage storage service if you are going on a longer trip and returning to the same hotel after. Staff is very helpful and pleasant.

Big rooms, big and comfy bed, shower and bathtub great, 2 water bottles every day, water boiler with coffee and teabags, big fridge, silent air conditioner, quiet rooms due to soundproof windows. Good breakfast buffett (not many choices but tasty). Nice rooftop area with pool, small gym, sunbeds and tables, trees and a nice view of the city. Big parking lot. Location close to MRT station and to the Sathon Pier where you can take the Chao Phraya tourist boat or the Orange Line to Phra Athit and then walk 10 minutes to Khao San Road.

I arrived around 19:30 24 November. The receptionist welcomed me warmly on arrival. I didn't meet him in my next days, but I want to sent him my appreciation and praise for his support and lovely attitude. I hope he will still be there if I come back Bangkok. Also, I want to send my praise to the housekeeping in charge of my floor on 25, 26 and 27 November. She was so lovely and I'd love to see her again in my next stay. The location of the hotel is near Saphan Taksin BTS station which was really convenient for me to travel around Bangkok and for my friend to come and visit me during my stay. Sanyod restaurant with great Cantonese cuisine also served my hungry stomach so well for my lazy evening.

The hotel's strong points include its location (near the BTS station and city boats, easy access from the airport & easy access to the main tourist spots), spacious rooms, and large beds (which are very big and comfortable). Another advantage is the breakfast (typical hotel fare, varied food, and always on time) and the service - the staff are very friendly and helpful, with the restaurant personnel being exemplary.
