vinapu Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 This trip I stay in following hotels: Tarntawan, Raya, Baan Silom, Copa, TheVenue, Classrooms, Furama Xclusive Sathorn, At 21 Saladaeng and Baiyoke Sky so obviously have some fresh comparison material. While none of them was ideal and here were some issues of very minor nature in each of them as far as i can see warts and all Raya is top choice. It,s only one think don,t like there - they seem strictly adhere to 2 pm check in policy so if you arrive earlier make sure you have suitable arangements to fill waiting time.

I've not heard of the last 2, but presumably these are also "joiner-friendly", so useful information. Can you hear the noise from that busy road in the rooms in The Raya ? That's my main reason for never staying there, but of course if they have some properly fitted windows with thick laminated glass, it would not be a problem. 4 hours ago, vinapu said: they seem strictly adhere to 2 pm check in policy so if you arrive earlier make sure you have suitable arangements to fill waiting time. Not permitting an early check in does seem very common in Bangkok. I can understand it if they have to prepare rooms, but hotels such as the Tarntawan and the Baan Silom didn't offer me an early check in at times in the last couple of years when they had hardly any customers. The hotels passed up their chance to create some goodwill at near zero cost. So the next time I was booking a hotel, loyalty was not a consideration.

jason1975 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I usually stay at Raya except for occasions when it was fully booked. But this time round, I am staying at Le Meridien because I am clocking nights on the Marriot members programme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are blinds but it struck me as odd nonetheless. Could this be by design? They know the type of customers they get: us who might want to keep an eye on our young hookups while we are showering, to make sure they are not stealing our wallet and running out without providing the agreed service?

Lol I think what the other members find odd is that the toilet is also in sight (see picture of the bedroom above in this same thread).

I'd join him in the shower anyways as soaping guy beats just looking at him any time in my books Lonnie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
