Hi,

Between Pullman Bangkok Hotel G and FuramaXcluxive Sathorn, which one is better?

 

Thanks

I don't know, but I am looking for a top hotel near Sathorn, one that has delectable morning buffets. So can I join in your thread?

Furama was great ,great gym 👍

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

I liked buffet breakfasts at Crowne Plaza and Quarter Saladaeng (former Siri Sathorn). Of course it always will be question what ' delectable ' means

If price is not really a factor, the 5-star Sukhothai Hotel on Sathorn has amazing breakfast buffets.

Excuse me.  I guess you are not anonymous here on this board.

I was talking about anonymous opinions on Trip Advisor.

you are right , here I'm not anonymous , perhaps even  to active for my own good

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 😅

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.

I like the rooms and buffets in Le Méridien.

Not only for breakfast, but some days also for lunch or dinner.

Pullman all the way for me! Excellent hotel and mostly gay Asian clientele

Why?  Is there anything there to attract gay Asian clientele?

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

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.

I posted some picture of Furama Xclusive "executive room" in my Dec 2021 trip report, day 13 , page 5

It was really like regular apartment.

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).

I did book this hotel for my last weekend. The price was lower as they are doing maintenance. But still expensive.

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!

Pre-pandemic we stayed at the W. It's very nice and the buffet breakfast was superb.

I canceled Furama reservation, now it is a choice between Amara bkk (executive room) vs Pullman 😊. Your thoughts ?

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.

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.
