スワナ バンコク ホテル (バンコク)

Good location

Stunning and well maintained Hotel. The Housekeeping was great and my sheets were changed daily and the fridge topped up with water so I could take a few bottles out with me every day whilst sightseeing. Every night I returned the Night Security guard came out to greet me with a lovely smile and greeting so I always felt very safe and comfortable. Plenty of Tea and coffee with complementary biscuits in the lobby area; personally I would have preferred the facilities in my own room, but thats just me. It was actually no bother and the area was kept scrupulously clean. The Wifi was a bit finicky - not easy log in details and I had to ask for another as my initial one wasnt working - it took 5 attempts to find me one that worked! These details also had to be re-input on each floor and every time you logged on when you returned to the Hotel, but to be fair it was a strong, fast connection. The only bad thing about this hotel is its location. It is not near anything and you really have to work to get a taxi driver to take you there, as many said it was too far out or quoted a ridiculous price. Of course this is not the hotels fault (Its a Thai Taxi thing) but worth knowing, as it often took me up to 40 mins to get a Taxi to take me who would put the meter on. I travelled as far as I could on the Metro to the train station in Chinatown and hailing one from there as that seemed to work better and a return was around 70-80 Thai Baht in around 15 minutes.

Lovely hotel, close enough to walk to koh San Road, Yet far away enough that you have a quite night. Staff really helpful, rang our taxi to pick us up for the airport upon leaving. Free maps available and tea and coffee available 24/7 in reception.

All in all a good hotel. My room this time had a very small bathroom though which felt a bit cramped.

Good location, free tea, coffee and biscuits in reception.
