Hotel was great value: plush furnishings and not too large, more than justifying its "boutique" status and hip cachet. Trendy types would feel more than at home and, furthermore, would not be ashamed to tell the in-crowd they'd billeted there for a few days. Good for families as well, but not perhaps ones with large broods of kids. Loved the big tellies in the rooms, the blue lights, the walk-in showers. Also liked the the kitschy decor, the strong city vibe and the bar areas, while the roof terrace with pool was a great plus. The metropolitan buzz extended beyond the hotel's purist white walls. Location was great, as there were plenty of bars and market stalls, skytrains and glaring lights, with enough local flavour to satisfy desparate-to-be adventurous types who want to experience a slice of life in the real Bangkok. A few cavils: cleaners took quite a time to spruce up the rooms on some days - as late as 4pm. Why is it minibars are so expensive? And the second room we stayed in had a bath/shower unit that spilled loads of water on to the white tiles - messy and dangerous. The staff were really helpful and polite. Lots of choice with beakfasts and pleasant dining areas: cosy and intimate. Would enjoy a second serving at the dream hotel
