A little old 5 star hotel near the river. I chose it because it was the cheapest 5 star riverside hotel. Location: away from the city centre, away from the nearest BTS skytrain station, no river ferry station nearby, but the area was quiet with good air quality. A big Terminal 21 shopping mall just next door for your shopping and the Asiatique complex with many shops, reastaurants and fun attractions within a short driving distance. Staff is friendly and helpful. Not so many guests around at this time if the year. The room had a very nice riverview. It was very big, very clean, with good but a bit dated furniture. Well built and maintained, but it doesn't have the feel of modern 5 star hotels for those who go for it. AC efficient but a bit noisy. Bed very big but the mattress could be more comfortable as well as the pillows. Very big luxurious bathroom with marbles around, a bathtub, and a shower cabin but the shower has only a fixed shower head above and the toilet does not have a jet sprayer for those who use it. Good restaurant with good food and a good medium size swimming pool. The buffet breakfast was very good, in very nice surroundings and very reasonably priced.
Conclusion : It's definitely worth its very competitive price but if you want more modern facilities and a more central location you need to pay more (50%-300%, a lot more actually). Very good, recommended for the price conscious traveller who wants views, quiet location and big spatious rooms.
