Located in the growing business district of central Bangkok, this 135 combination of different sized apartments is far from luxurious but does provide reasonable accommodation. The hotel claims it has the full service of a first class hotel but many guests have been complaining about the tired look of the rooms and discourtesy of some of the staff – a rare and sad occurrence in Thailand. The staff situation is sad because most employees here try so hard to make guests feel at home. The property’s location near Lumpini Park – the biggest green area in Bangkok – is a decided asset.
