We had our own vehicle, but without a vehicle there is no nearby public MRT or BTS so you will need to take a taxi.

Their cafe is a bit pricey considering the neighborhood offers many other options

The restaurant attached to the hotel is good but I would recommend going outside especially for lunch or dinner as we thought for Thailand it was a little on the pricey side, but the service was great!
