Somerset Suwan Park View

( 4 stars , Bangkok , Thailand )

Big & spacious layout. Ideal for families. Washing machine is not user friendly and there is no place to hang the wet laundries. The gym's air con was not in service on one of the mornings and it is stuffy work out. Location is a bit far if travel via taxi or tuk tuk, and most of the drivers are not willing to fetch. Some of the drivers are not aware of the location despite showing them the address in Thai language. But if travel via MTR, it is ok.

We were extremely happy with the location to the Skytrain, especially with two small children in tow. The smell in the rooms can be overwhelming upon arrival but it soon disappeared when the airconditioning got going. We figured it was all the timber work in the room?? We had our reservations about the breakfast (due to the feedback we had read) but obviously we are easily pleased as we thought the freshly made omelettes were fantastic & all we needed. The staff were friendly & more importantly, attentive to our children. We'd recommend these apartments to anyone travelling to Bangkok.

Stayed there OCT 2006. Large Rooms are actually serviced apartments with Complete kitchen. All the hotel was very well maintained and clean. Location is a little out of the way but not really a problem 10 mins walk to Chitlom skaytrain station, right in the centre of BKK. Choice of restaurants onsite are limited (and quite expensive) but if you cross one of the small streets to nearby soi Luang Suan there are plenty of places to eat, or in the food court at Central Chitlom. Brekfast is good but not impresive. Availability of (good) supermaket for shopping and cooking your own food is very good also at Central Chidlom, but access is a real problem as you have to cross Sukhumvit road with the overfly at chitlom skytrain station (really many stairs up then down). All in all a good offer for the price if you don't mind walking a little or if you are on business and take a taxi to go to your duty anyway. The place is basically a bed and breakfast thing, not with all the goodies you will find in a 5 star hotel, but here with own independence if you want to and lots of living space in your room.

thank you,we enjoyed our living in your hotel

Service is good except the breakfast is a bit let down compare to other hotel in Bangkok. Basic facilities but the room size is big. Will stay there again.

On arrival the room I had booked was very smelly so they upgraded me to a larger one bedroom apartment on the 19th floor with great views, this room was great no smells either. Staff very helpful and in a very central position next to Chit Lom train station.

As usual I have chosen this place because of the location however enjoyed the 3 nights staying there. Got a nice clean 1-bed apartment for a reasonable price, will for sure stay again.

Very good service. Large clean rooms. Perfect location. Friendly and helpful. Very weak breakfeast is only negative.

Not a bad one. Cape house @ Soi Lang Suan (www.capehouse.com) is another good alternative (similar pricing).

Excellent spacious room, living room (tv and dvd), kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom with entrance from the kitchen and from the bedroom. Never seen such a large suite before. Very friendly and helpfull staff with luggage, taxi-call, and extra information. The diner was very good and tasteful, but the menu is only western oriented (we wanted to order Thai food). This hotel was next to the dutch embassy, where we had an appointment, so for us it was a good location. Only the breakfast was a littlebit disappointing, but comparing to the rest we had some splendid night here.
