Phra Phutthabat Vacations from $282

Very loud construction upstairs. The staff is not friendly. The breakfast buffet was empty at 8 am

Overall: Mixed experience — great staff and lounge perks, but the property itself feels dated in places and some aspects are surprisingly inconvenient for a luxury hotel. Cons • Balcony doors are permanently locked, which is disappointing considering the views the hotel promotes and the large balconies on every room. This fact is NOT disclosed when booking or in advance. • No on-site shop for basics like snacks, sunscreen, or small essentials. • Room keys are very impractical – a thick faux-leather card holder that doesn’t fit easily into a wallet or pocket. Digital room keys via phone would be a huge improvement. • Electrics feel dated. In my room (5414), the Do Not Disturb and housekeeping buttons didn’t work. • Shower drainage issue – the tray fills up and can overflow if you shower for too long. • Elevators can get very busy, especially at peak time, so getting up/down can take extra time • Staff knowledge about the local bar/dining and sky bar scene was very limited. For example, several staff members asked were unfamiliar with nearby places like Nobu (world famous Japanese restaurant chain) or Le Du Kaan (famous Asian restaurant with Michelin star chef) which are direct competitors to the hotel’s Sky Bar and close-by • Sky Bar is extremely overpriced. We paid over £60 for a glass of Sangiovese and a rum & cola, it’s a tourist trap and best to avoid drinking or dining there. In my opinion, Le Du Kaan offers significantly better views, facilities and finish

Room was nice, surroundings were loud and lots of construction and young people yelling outside at night. Staff was excellent. It’s in a Japanese shopping area

The location is really good and the place is clean. The building and rooms need some renovation but in the overall you get a good place for the price. The breakfast is fine but there are only 3 dishes you can order and it starts at 8 am, kind of late, so it was not really convenient for us since all tours depart around 7 am.

Everything was great
