Conrad Bangkok

The sound of the renovation

Bed and pillows were super comfortable. They have a wide selection of different pillows you can order from their pillow menu. The hotel is in a quiet location (away from the noise and partying of Sukhumvit Road) so I was able to get a very good quality sleep every night thanks to the complete silence, very comfortable bed and pillows, and blackout curtains. My second favorite part of the hotel is the decor and environment -- it is done very tastefully with a focus on Thai art/architecture/style. Lobby and hallways look very elegant. The hotel overall feels quite high end. During my stay (which was on Songkran), the hotel did not feel like it was overcrowded with guests. The gym was also to my satisfaction - had all the free weights and equipment I needed for my workouts (and I am very picky about gyms). The breakfast selection was also quite good - good assortment of all the major types of cuisines, although it gets CROWDED if you go after 9am. Overall I was pretty impressed by the hotel -- it's not perfect, but overall I would judge it as good value for money.

My floor had a damp, musty, urine-like odor when I stepped out of the lift. At one point, someone had put out a cigarette on one of the decor stands in the hallway (this is not the hotel's fault, but it was a non-smoking floor and should have been better enforced, or cleaned up right away). The carpet in my room looked quite old and color was a bit unpleasant/yellowish looking. Also the nightstands in my room showed obvious signs of age/wear & tear. My toilet flusher broke twice, and wifi cut off briefly at one point. The wifi issue was fixed pretty quickly, but the toilet flusher took awhile for someone to show up the first time - at which point I could no longer hold it and had to go downstairs to use the restroom. The breakfast buffet is great but gets way too crowded if you go after 9am, the area where the food is set up is a lot of people running into each other. Finally, the location is great if you want quiet (which I do), but at the same time, it's a bit of a walk to the BTS station (about 10-13min, depending how fast you walk) and there's not much in terms of restaurants or action in the immediate vicinity of the hotel. They do however, have a shuttle bus that can take you to the BTS station.

FINE

ALL OK
