Good location and nice accommodation, but with some rooms for improvements. The hotel was about 10 mins leisurely walk to Asok BTS/Sukhumvit MRT, and hotel provides complimentary tuk tuk service to the main road from the hotel. However, most people seem to choose to walk, as the tuk tuks are not always on standby.
The room was spacious and clean with good views, but had some problems with TV sets (sometimes the room's main switch had to be rebooted in order to turn it on, due to its connectivity with the hotel's central computer), and the air conditioner did not work very well (it was cooler in the corridor even though the temperature setting in the room was at its minimum). The room had a dvd player, but it could not be played on the TV screen. The instruction provided by the hotel seemed outdated since the hotel connected the TV sets to its central computer.
The gym was fairly small, but had new'ish equipments. However, when I was trying to use the gym, it was going through a minor renovation (putting up blinds on the glass walls of the gym), so only a half of the equipments were available for use, but I quickly gave up on them because of the dust created by the renovation work. Why they haven't thought about doing such a minor renovation outside operating hours is a mystery - a bit of thinking from the management might have helped.
The hotel's accommodation was generally nice, but minor problems mentioned above did not leave me with such a nice experience. May be it was a bad timing etc for me, but with so many other good hotels to choose from in Bangkok, I might try a different one on my next visit.
