Swana Bangkok Hotel

Not as close to Khasoan road as described I believe, not much around in the local vicinity 20 min walk to restaurants and bar.

It was very quiet in the room, despite the hotel is locate in a busy road. The service was good and unobtrusive. The hotel has a great lobby and free coffee stand in it. The location is very advantageous.

Good location

Stunning and well maintained Hotel. The Housekeeping was great and my sheets were changed daily and the fridge topped up with water so I could take a few bottles out with me every day whilst sightseeing. Every night I returned the Night Security guard came out to greet me with a lovely smile and greeting so I always felt very safe and comfortable. Plenty of Tea and coffee with complementary biscuits in the lobby area; personally I would have preferred the facilities in my own room, but thats just me. It was actually no bother and the area was kept scrupulously clean. The Wifi was a bit finicky - not easy log in details and I had to ask for another as my initial one wasnt working - it took 5 attempts to find me one that worked! These details also had to be re-input on each floor and every time you logged on when you returned to the Hotel, but to be fair it was a strong, fast connection. The only bad thing about this hotel is its location. It is not near anything and you really have to work to get a taxi driver to take you there, as many said it was too far out or quoted a ridiculous price. Of course this is not the hotels fault (Its a Thai Taxi thing) but worth knowing, as it often took me up to 40 mins to get a Taxi to take me who would put the meter on. I travelled as far as I could on the Metro to the train station in Chinatown and hailing one from there as that seemed to work better and a return was around 70-80 Thai Baht in around 15 minutes.

Lovely hotel, close enough to walk to koh San Road, Yet far away enough that you have a quite night. Staff really helpful, rang our taxi to pick us up for the airport upon leaving. Free maps available and tea and coffee available 24/7 in reception.
