Somerset Park Suanplu Bangkok

We were 9 people who stayed at Somerset Park Suanplu - all very happy and contented guests of said establishment. The service, the staff were all very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were big and spacious. The buffet breakfast, while not comparable to a Hyatt or a Peninsula, was quite hearty.

While not a big issue, as most of the shopping places were accessible via taxi - it's location was off the beaten path. Both a plus and a negative: plus because we were away from the noise. Negative, because we couldnt just go out and walk around. This is a non issue though.

Mostly efficient staff. Transfer tuk-tuk. Breakfast buffet better than some in vicinity.

On arrival the a/c in the corner suite was inoperative and I had to move to the next door central suite. After 14 hours on an aircraft I wanted a shower and a/c not a room change. Surely they should know if the a/c isn't working in a room. In this suite the patio door was jammed and the lock had to be replaced. Flushing problem cleared after twenty trys as engineering took over fout hours to arrive. The dvd player would not play a locally bought genuine dvd, but by this time I'd given up asking for further repairs. It is not reasonable to expect the guests to test the facilities. The pool gets a lot of children and teenagers and no attempt is made to enforce the "no diving" rules.
