After reading lots of positive reviews on tripadvisor.com, I booked the hotel via Asiarooms.com for a 5-night-stay with my fiancee and was surprised about all the amazing amenities for the comparably cheap rate that we paid (67 Euro/night).
Let me tell you that much: The hotel is amazing and, so far, the best value-for-money I have ever experienced!!!
Another nice touch:
After check-out, we had another 5 hours to kill before we needed to leave for the airport. Thanks to the hotel's SPA on the 10th floor, we could relax and enjoy another couple of hours alongside and inside the hotel pool, take a shower at the SPA, change our clothes and pick up our luggage at the Concierge without having to worry about anything. Great!

As a Design hotel, the Siam @ Siam has a lot of nice chracteristics:
PROS
- Outstanding, modern design (not everybody might like it but we loved it!)
- Great location (3 minutes to BTS, 7 minutes to MBK shopping mall)
- Very helpful and polite staff
- Free breakfast buffet with a good selection of foods and drinks
- Fancy rooms* with private safety deposit box, air-con, mini bar, hair dryer, bathrobes, slippers, toothbrush, shower gel, conditioning shampoo and even an umbrella for the rainy days
- Gorgeous infinity pool on the 11th floor
- Free Internet on the lobby level (11/F.)
- The SPA on the 10th floor offers great services
CONS
Considering the location, amenities and room rate, there really isn't anything to complain about. However, for the picky people out there, I noticed two things:
- The air-con is a little bit too audible for a new hotel, so if you're a very light sleeper, you might want to switch it off before heading for dreamland.
- The rooms on the western side of the building are prone to the street noise from outside. Try to request a room on the eastern side.
Again, considering the services provided, room amenities and comparably low rates, the Siam @ Siam is great value-for-money which can be HIGHLY recommended to every traveler coming to Bangkok.
