Thanks I never stay at Pullman but it seems to be more upscale that Furama Xclusive Sathorn. My vote goes for Furama though, affordable, big rooms (executive suite is in fact full appartment), bit dated but half Pullman price 6 hours ago, Lucky said: I don't know, but I am looking for a top hotel near Sathorn, one that has delectable morning buffets.

Of course it always will be question what ' delectable ' means alvnv and moistmango 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomNg Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 Thank you Vinapu for the input. I have not stayed at these hotels before, that is why I am looking for some + and - from other members. By the way, I got "G Deluxe Double" at Pullman and "Executive suite" at FuramaXclusive for the same price. I need to cancel one of them soon so I need some input which one should be canceled Feel free to speak your mind here 😅 vinapu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scott456 Posted September 23, 2023 Members Share Posted September 23, 2023 Why not split your stay to both hotels. They are pretty close to each other. I am sure each hotel has its pros and cons. vinapu, Boy69 and Lucky 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The full name of the hotel is "Pullman Bangkok Hotel G" where G is for Gays I assume its popular as it is the closest affordable but upscale hotel to Silom for the twenty something Taiwan or Singaporean tourist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scott456 Posted September 23, 2023 Members Share Posted September 23, 2023 OK. I heard the W hotels around the world are very gay too, but I have no idea why, perhaps they use a lot of pink and purple color in decoration. moistmango 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott's suggestion of splitting stay between two is very sensible. I probably would do as hotel jumping is my favorite pastime( last trip excepted). moistmango 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fedssocr Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I stayed at the Sukhothai a couple of times on my first few trips to Bangkok. Impeccable service and very comfortable. But the location was a little awkward to me for getting around on foot. MRT not too far though which helps. I agree that Le Meridien has a very good breakfast and decent rooms. The spread at the Crowne Plaza always impressed me as well although I haven't been there in a while. I would imagine that the W hotel probably has a pretty big breakfast. The photos online look good. No one seems to talk about the W much though. Location is basically on the corner of Sathorn and Narathiwas - around the corner from Chong Nonsi BTS. I've read some praise for the breaksfast at The Standard hotel at the MahaNakhon tower. Of course given their rates it should be!

I've stayed in Amara executive rooms many times and recommend this location. Rooms are compact but very well appointed and spotless. Buffet breakfast is excellent and the roof-top infinity pool has many lounge chairs. No problem whatsoever with guests. fedssocr and JimmyJoe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never eat breakfast when I travel on holiday, because I go out partying every night till dawn, I am usually too tired to eat breakfast and eating before sleeping is not healthy anyways. So if a fancy breakfast is included in the room rate, it's always a waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
