Lonely Planet review

This magnanimous midrange institution allows you to practically roll out of bed and onto the Skytrain - thereby putting the sights and sales of Bangkok at your feet. It's a good deal given its convenient location and mega-hotel facilities - a good landing pad for jetlagged first-time visitors to Asia.No village feel or boutique originality here. It's a self-contained world of shopping, eating and sleeping, coated in that slightly dated Asian-hotel brand of plush (lots of mirrors, wood panelling and synthetic floral arrangements). This is a mammoth hotel offering pools, banquet rooms, cabaret shows and restaurants with innovative names like 'Rio Grill Brazilian'. They even have a fortune teller! The lobby is a huge mall where Western tourists and Asian businessmen come and go incessantly beneath the chandeliers. The prolific staff are helpful and informative. The rooms are large, comfortable and well-appointed, if slightly overpriced. If you're not huge on in-hotel recreation and dining facilities there are just as decent rooms elsewhere for less.
