We stayed at the Marriot for our honeymoon from 12/11/07 to 12/14/07. The Marriot was the first hotel we stayed at during our 2 week trip in Thailand. When we arrived they checked us into a 1 bedroom suite which was on the 5th floor that faced construction next store. We asked for an upgrade, since it was our honeymoon, and wanted a better view. They gave us a 2 bedroom suite that was on the 20th floor which had a good city views of Bangkok. This upgrade only cost us $15 US additional per day.
Our upgraded room was fabulous. There was a big kitchen area that had all the pots and plates for you to cook if wanted. There was a small washer/dryer, 2 bedrooms, and 2 baths. The living room was big and also had a little dinning area.
The hotel room came with free buffet breakfast each morning, and massages for 2 people. We booked 2 Thai Massages. The service was great and really did the trick in relieving stress and fatigue from our long flight. The spa at the hotel is small though.
The area where the Marriot is located is considered the business district of Bangkok. We did encountered problems getting a taxi at times, as some taxi drivers did not know the street the hotel was on.
The concierge was very helpful in helping us with setting up our flights to Koi Samui (island off of Thailand’s west coast), and advising us of nearby attractions and transportation options.
The pool is located on the roof which also has free wireless internet access.
There is a 7/11 nearby which was convenient to buy snacks and water. There is also a nearby BTS station (Bangkok’s subway system) which is about a 10 minute walk. The station is called Chit Lom. A supermarket is right next to the hotel, called “Villa” which is below the Millennia Tower.
Overall the rooms were big, the price was affordable, and friendly service. We would consider staying there again.
