Column Bangkok Hotel

Many pros, and a huge con. Early check-in was given, first experience in bangkok and very much appreciated after the long flight! Room was huge and clean, faced the busy intersection but no issues with noise. 2 toilets, a washing machine and a dryer, microwave, fridge and stove. The plates couldn't fit into the microwave though. Ac was strong, even when turned off the room remains cold, need room service to unlock the balcony door. Balcony had clearly not been cleaned, cigarette butts and half a pigeon's egg shell lying on the floor, very dusty too. Not an issue if you don't want to step outside. Better views of the sunrise and sunset from there though. The major gripe about this hotel is the astounding amount of africans and Arabs who have no basic consideration for other guests. Putting their shoes on the lounge tables and couch, talking at the top of their voices, kids running amok, even being blatantly rude to the old bellhop(who resignedly shook his head, clearly having experienced it too often) and sitting around and throwing ice cubes AT THE ENTRANCE. Vandalized lifts too. Have to laud the staff for having such patience with such people, who spoil the otherwise pleasant atmosphere! Only met a small minority in their lot who were civilized. If management could only be firm with such miscreants...

Everything was good except for the washing machine this time round. I've been staying here for many times. First time I encounter a spoilt washing machine and no one was able to help. I waited for the whole night and have to use another room washing machine to complete the washing. Coz of this all my white shirt was dyed with other colors as all was soak in the same water for many hours.

We enjoyed the stay. We were there for the IELTS test and stayed over night. It is convenient as there is a Foodland supermarket and restaurant in the building. Food is available 24/7. We walked to BTS conveniently.
