Views98Split
The room on the ground floor looking at the parking lot was not ideal
Booking network, May 2026, rated 10/10 by this guest
The hotel was clean but our room was small and sadly the only window faced an outside brick wall, so no view whatsoever, which was a 'let down'.
Tripadvisor, November 2025, rated 3/5 by this guest
We stayed in a Deluxe Double - the room was very modern and kept spotlessly clean - the room was unoverlooked which is the only upside of facing a featureless blank boundary wall with no view at all 😁

You need a taxi or scooter to get around3 of 2941 in 98 reviews
You'll need to take a Grab or a tuk-tuk to go out for dinner or drinks.
Google, August 2026, rated 4/5 by this guest
The hotel is stunningly decorated, the staff is extremely courteous, a varied breakfast, a quiet and pleasant atmosphere for couples, the hotel is far from the hustle and bustle and the center of Bangkok (15-25 minutes by taxi) but that didn't bother us at all because taxis in Bangkok are not that…
