4.5/5: A great hotel with solid amenities, clean spaces, and well-designed rooms.
I enjoyed my stay here! My room, the Gold King Suite, was spacious, clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. The price that I paid per night (around $50) was sensible, as I feel that I got enough value out of the room for that price. I slept quite well in the room, as the bed is very comfy and the pillows are squishy. Picture attached.
One huge positive for me was the lighting! There are ceiling lights, a small chandelier, and even blue lights running through the room. This gave me a lot of lighting options, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Location is a 9/10 for me. If you’re into partying, great! This hotel is right between Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy, so you can walk to either quite easily. 7-11 is close by as well. Unfortunately, the road in front of the hotel doesn’t have a sidewalk, making it uncomfortable to walk on. Also, the restaurants around here are, in my opinion, not that great. They’re overpriced and mostly foreign options. I didn’t leave my home in the West just to eat Western food! This isn’t the hotel’s fault so I won’t be too harsh, but this info is worth knowing should you choose to stay here.
One small negative was that when I checked in, I was taken to a room with a bathtub, instead of the big walk-in shower that the photos displayed. I didn’t even realize there were 2 options; I don’t take baths, so I requested a room change, which was easily fulfilled. I think next time, they should ask customers upon check-in which they would prefer between the two options, as this would save time for everyone involved.
I felt the ladies at the front-desk were curt and rude occasionally when speaking to them. Upon first entering the hotel, instead of a “welcome to the Dream Hotel,” I was instead met with “are you checking in?” in a very annoyed tone. Not a great first impression, sadly. Maybe that’s simply how they talk, but I didn’t like that. Otherwise, the staff here is quite nice. Housekeeping provided me extra towels upon request, which I appreciated, and the hotel arranged a taxi for me to the airport. Again, highly appreciated.
The pool is nice, as well as the restaurant/bar next to it. Great for these hot summers in Bangkok!
Overall, I definitely enjoyed my stay and would recommend this hotel to others.
