Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Bangkok Menam Riverside

After years staying in the Sukhumvit area, we decided to stay by the river in this hotel. We booked a suite on the executive floor and if you want to stay there, I would recommend this, even though the suites are a bit outdated. Furniture looks like from the 80ies, but still okay. Room was spacious and well equipped with everything needed. Good thing with staying at Executive floor: they serve breakfast on this floor so you don't have to eat downstairs with the hundrets of buss passengers, that arrive each day. They also serve free drinks and caked through tea time as well as free food, drinks and cocktails through the cocktail hour. Staff was very helpful and nice. Hotel is big and ha a nice pool area, gym etc. Overall we liked our stay, except for one letdown (see negative). wanted to stay there again (also due to the many street food stalls, massage parlors and night market close by), but the unpleasant check out made me re-think this decision. Taxi boat (every 30 minutes to/from BTS station) as well as Tuktuk service to shopping mall worked excellent

Staying in room 1108 we always had a horrible stench in the bathroom in the mornings. Especially one day this stench was so heavy I woke up and almost puked. It was gone during the day and I don't know if they can do anything against it, but it was unpleasant. But the killer was: they charged 250 baht for a broken room card at check out. Not having used this card at all (we had two), I was very surprised. I had never every been charged anything for a broken or lost room card EVER! Having spent a couple of hundred Euro for 4 nights in the Executive floor, this was a big let down- It's not about the money, but about the principle/service. And as we checked out 16 hours earlier than booked (flight), they also saved the money on two breakfasts... Just saying. So this was a big disappointment which lead to the decision not to stay there again. I am normally not the guy complaining, but this was simply a let down. May be narrow minded, but that's what they are as well. Too bad.... So when you receive your keys, check them if they are broken!!! or you have to pay for them... :-(

Rooms were always clean , and we had executive room with river view,which was better than anticipated. Pool area beautiful place to relax, free shuttle to pier was great benifit.

Only issue was the excessive cost of food & drinks at the hotel.. I understand most hotels prices are similar if not higher.. just found that ,considering prices in Thailand , that no need to charge such high prices for drinks and food.. Everything else at hotel was better than expected
