4th time stay with Bliston Suwan Parkview
This is a good serviced apartment which provides quality service for the price you paid.
The property is very near Central Chidlom and not too far from Chidlom BTS(7-8mins walk). Overally, it is considered a safe neighbourhood and a quiet place, in city area.
I will visit the Erawan Shrine annually and it is convenient to walk there(10-15mins).
At night, I feel safe walking back with my gf even though the streets are not well-lit. I will pass at least 5 security guards, respectively at Renaissance Hotel, Govt buildings and banks. I will also pass by Gianni Italian restaurant and will often see some staffs outside after their shifts.
Baison restaurant breakfast is ok with few varieties. The staffs serving breakfast provide excellent service. I'm actually very impressed with the mid-age lady (2nd May - 5th May) whom handled the eggs station and found her very hardworking. She will check all stations, making sure used plates cleared regularly, coffee & food topped up promptly and all eggs served in a short while after ordering. The room service staffs did a good job of cleaning the room but they had forgotten to top up toiletries on the last room cleaning.
Downsides- Not very happy that the hotel charges were being charged in SGD dollars by local bank instead of Thai baht. The rest of my previous stays were charged in Thai baht and I felt the exchange rate provided by local bank were not attractive at all. The spa in hotel has completed revamped and the prices have gone up alot since then.
I finally got a metered taxi to airport this time (less than 300baht including toll). The other times when I requested conceige for metered taxi, the plump spectacled doorboy(always the same one during day time) got us expensive cabs which charged 400-600 baht to airport. I remembered before this last stay, I got a cab (500baht) which didn't use the airport highway and made us late for boarding. Not his fault but I'm very careful when making the request this time.
