Another great stay at my 'home' in Bangkok. A hard to beat location coupled with friendly, unobtrusive service. Yes, the hotel is a bit dated and perhaps (just a tad) frumpy and old-fashion, but rooms are very spacious, clean and comfortable and everything works pretty well. Some renovation and refreshing exercise is currently going on - but it doesn't disturb the peace. IMO, compared to the many 'new kids on the block', where rooms are tiny, cramped and cost more, (albeit more modern and stylish), the Furama Xclusive Sathorn is a far better bet.
