I stayed at Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit in Bangkok from June 27th to June 29th 2008. I have been to Bangkok a few times before and I have stayed at places like Lebua, Rembrandt, Majestic, Dusit Thani etc so I feel that I do have some experience when it comes to Bangkokhotels. The purpose of this visit was just rest and relaxation.
We arrived at the hotel in the evening and I was assigned to room 2007 on the 20th floor. The service was good upon arrival by the way?they helped us with our suitcases and it was sent to my room a few minutes after I had gotten there. When I came to my room and opened the door the room was bigger than expected. First of all there was a small hall with tiles before you got into the actual room which had carpet on the floor.
The bed was huge and had lots of big pillows. The bed was also very comfortable ...
I choose this hotel as a result of a special offer on 'asiarooms'. On arrival we were promptly shown to our room by a very helpful member of staff.
The Deluxe room was a lot bigger tahn other hotels I have stayed in. However, it did seem a little tired looking and outdated in its appearance (the wood panelled walls didn't help). The choice of English channels in the room was also quite limited. Although, because of the hotels great location we didn't really spend much time in the room.
Breakfast was included in the price and was of a good standard and with a large variety to choose from. However, the main restaurant were breakfast was served was always busy and we had to on a number of occassions share a table with other hotel guests.
The highlight of this hotel is its location, just off of Sukhumvit road, the hotel is only ...
Advantages: great for shopping, great customer services, large clean modern rooms Disadvantages: maybe a bit "out of reality" for those wanting to experience the real Bangkok
Like the traveller on the previous review I was also unsure of what to expect about the Amari Watergate Hotel. We were offered a great deal with a travel agent with 2 nights for the price of 3, which for 3 nights in a 5 star hotel for £150 seemed criminal to refuse!
After making the booking we then checked out the hotel online and it looked great. We were not dissapointed.
The Amari is set in Bangkoks main commercial area with 3 of the largest shopping malls within walking distance (however, if walking in 95% humidity across frogger style traffic isnt your style a taxi to the furthest shopping mall - the Siam Centre is 40bahts (75p)
The hotel provided us with a free taxi from the airport which was clean and airconditioned and it whisked us away to the foyre of the hotel in about 40 minutes, we were received at the hotel ...
