Nice boutique hotel in Silom
The Swiss Lodge is located on Convent road close to Silom, just 1 minute's walk from the throughfase and 2 more minutes to Sala Daen skytrain. Great location. Nice hotel, definitely same as you would expect, or better, from a chain hotel like Holiday inn. Good service, nice but not very large rooms. Have stayed here 6-8 times in the past couple of years; the only complaint I have are recurring reservation hassles: the hotel responds to booking requests slowly on the internet; sometimes does not respond at all; and most recently decided that I had reserved just one night when I had actually reserved two nights. This is relevant as the hotel is nowadays quite popular and can be quite fully booked at surprising regularity. All aspects of customer service are not fully grasped, eg if they overbook a room category, they try to have people switch rooms during their stays (a big hassle), rather than upgrade a new arrival to a higher grade room, which is what good hotels would normally do. Rates are reasonable for the quality, in a chain hotel you would pay $50 more than here. The internet rates are well explained and to be recommended. --and overall, a recommended hotel for both personall and busines stays (but note they have a self service mini business center, nothing like a 5 star hotel like Hyatt or Pan Pacific). Just make sure your get a firm booking! Great location, value for money in comparison to standard chain hotels like holiday inns and their like
