on January 12, 2008OK I will admit that being a member of the Marriott Rewards program is the reason why I frist stayed here in 1999, but it is the service, atmosphere and location that means I have been back a dozen times since then and I am looking to forward to my next visit in March 2007.
During 2006 the hotel started to refurbish the rooms and the new rooms are a good improvement on the old. As is getting more common they have Flat Screen TVs, a more novel touch is that it is easy to connect your PC, camcorder or DVD player to the TV and they even supply the cables. It is also possible to connect your MP3 player so that it plays through the TV, again the lead is supplied. The other nice touch is that the showers have also been upgraded and you now can either use the normal shower head or you can use the "rain shower" head.
I have added pictures of one of the new rooms to this tip.
If you opt for an “Executive Room” you will have access to the Executive lounge and a host of other benefits such as
• Complimentary breakfast in either the lounge or the main restaurant – much better than usually offered in Marriotts in Europe or the USA.
• Free pressing service on each day (no limit to the number of items)
• Free drinks in the Executive Lounge during the day and Happy Hours from 6 – 8 each evening featuring a well stocked bar and a good selection of hot and cold snacks
• In room check in. This is usually followed by a welcome drink of green tea and the opportunity to select which soap you want (from a choice of 4 in addition to the normal hotel soap)!
The pool is not large and because of the high rise buildings sun bathing hours are cut back a bit, but it is still a very pleasant area for a bit of respite from the hustle and bustle that is Bangkok. Also the pool staff will bring out complimentary cold fruit and iced water every hour or so.
There is also a health club and spa in the hotel.
The main restaurant is the coffee shop which has won awards for the quality of its lunch buffet (deservedly so in my opinion). There is a “New York” Steakhouse which is expensive, but the steak and service are both first class. They also have 2 Japanese restaurants called “Tsu" and "Nami".
They take photos of frequent guests so they will recognise them when they check in!
The location is very close to one of the main bar areas known as Nana Plaza and the Nana Sky train station. Also close by are the bars and restaurants along Sukhumvit.
