SHAN Villas Sukhumvit

+ Staff were very friendly, accommodating, approachable and informative + Room is very clean and had a nice view of the pool (and we chose the room where we had direct access from our room to the pool) + Bathroom was modern and clean + They had the option of transport from and to the airport which was a lot cheaper and reliable than other means of transport

Staff was beyond excellent, hotel was in a relatively decent location that allows you to "live where the locals are" without being TOO far from the main city, and accommodations were decent. Views from the room overlooking the neighborhood were beautiful and the rooftop was also gorgeous, though smaller than it seems in pictures.

Wat an amazing hotel. Super friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are spacious, clean, nice style and very comfortable beds. They are all "quiet" rooms as they give out on the pool which is secluded in the center of the hotel. The sitting area around the pool is very limited (only 4 chairs) but it was never an issue. Lovely pool, lovely setting. Breakfast area is at the rooftop where you will also find a very nice open-air restaurant or you can sit in an airconditioned dome if you like. Food is fab! The place is close to the city center and the airport. We only stayed for one night as we had a day layover inbetween flights but will save this as one of my favorites in Bangkok for future travels.

Because of the intimate setting and the warmth and friendliness of the staff, it felt like we were staying with host family instead of a hotel. We appreciated feeling taken care of like this, as we were still very much bewildered and jet-lagged tourists on our first stop in a new county. :) The room was a decent size for two people - there was enough room to lay out the suitcases. There was no closet, but there was a small rack to hang a few items. The hotel bar on the roof had a nice atmosphere and great service. We didn't use the pool but enjoyed viewing it from our balcony. The hotel was located far enough away from the hustle and bustle to feel peaceful, but still reasonably close to markets, temples, and restaurants (20-30 min grab ride depending on traffic, or 10 minute shuttle to the metro station).

Nice,tranquil, great staff
