Hotel has consistant sercurity screening at lobby entrance to prevent bombings etc.
Good location as MBK shopping centre is accessible through the 2nd level of the hotel.
Good thing is that the walk to the skytrain is sheltered from sun or rain. However, U have to walk through crowds of shoppers (at MBK) b4 u get to the skytrain.
The room is not very well mantained. The hotel lobby and reception area decor is a contrast to its room.
I have stayed in Siam Novotel a couple of months ago even though Novotel may charge a little more, I would go back to Novotel as the rooms are better mantained. The overall feel for the room in Novotel seems to be more comfy. Walk to the skytain from Novotel seems to be more direct and less time consuming even though its not sheltered.
Overall tip - if u are going bangkok for shopping, no point spending too much on hotel accomodation as u will not be in the room most of the time. U will need a hotel with deccent rooms and good access to skytains or shopping area.
