We spent three nights in this hotel in early April, 2008. The hotel is extremely modern which could be a problem for some. However it was very clean, everything worked, excellent bathroom and shower, the breakfast was included and a choice of continental, american, thai or other and was copious and delicious, the service was first class. The hotel is a half block from Sikhumwit and only three blocks from the sky train. On top of all that at $120/night we thought we had excellent value. Careful though, booking locally is much more expensive, we used otel.com.

Having preconceptions about Bangkok itself we were greeted at the airport by a member of the dreams staff, who took our luggage and drove us to the hotel. With Bangkok being a bit of a dump, I feel that Dreams stands out with some of the other luxurious hotels that around and about Bangkok. Although it appeared that the people occupying this hotel appeared to be in Bangkok for business more than luxuries I don’t feel they would of being missing out on a great deal with all the facilities being available were quite small. With my partner and I being quite active individuals we didn’t spend much time in the hotel, but I do believe that if you are the type of person that wants to stay in the hotel all the time that maybe dreams isn’t the hotel for you, there isn’t much going on and the bar on the roof top where the pool is situated is very small. I wouldnt put this down as being a total bad thing just more personal preference more than anything. The staff were extremely helpful, making restaurant reservations, VIP seating’s for Muay Thai, liaising with the arrogant cab drivers to put the metres on and booking appointments with the tailors. The hotel rooms were great, spacious extremely clean with DVD players and Sky TV in terms of cleanliness in a facility it was right up my street. Free internet service was available 24hrs which was helpful for us as we were moving on to Islands and need to check book and confirm other hotel bookings. In terms of the hotel and the staff I don’t have a bad word to say the hotel is very hip and modern and I enjoyed staying there. On the other hand I can see why some people have previously said it’s a bit overrated and I think that is down to the facilities available etc but its in a good location and I think its somewhere worth staying.

We were recommended this hotel by friends and it exceeded our expectations. The staff (especially the doormen) were very friendly and helpful. If we were in need of advice, the doormen were more than willing to provide.
The hotel is clean and modern, with large comfortable beds. The rooms are well designed and stylish.
The pool is great and it felt like an oasis away from the hustle and bustle of bangkok life.
The only negative we had was the expense of the drinks at the poolside bar and the food and drinks at the main restaurant. We arrived on a Friday and enjoyed the entertainment of the salsa night in the bar.
We did not have breakfast as it was not included in our room rate.
Walk in rates are much more expensive than booking through an agent on the internet.
There is free internet access at the hotel.
The hotel is very close to the sky train. It takes about 40 minutes in a taxi to Khaosan Road and costs about 80 bht.
Overall we were more than satisfied with our stay and would definitely come back to the dream hotel.

If you want a multinational chain like Hilton or Holiday Inn thats the same in Thailand as Chicago, this isn't your hotel.
But if you want a delightful, hip Thai boutique hotel with friendly, helpful staff, fun decor and comfortable rooms, this one is excellent.
Our room was great - quiet, larger than average, very comfortable bed, excellent and well designed bathroom [our shower was fine - no door but a glass wall that stopped any water getting on the floor. Really neat blue neon lighting under the bed [see hotel website for pictures] thats a fun touch..
Staff were friendly and very helpful - their English was fine [please remember this is Thailand not the US or UK - keep it simple & try speaking clearly and you won't have any problems]
We loved our breakfast - four choices so you could have a cooked American breakfast, Continental or our choice - a healthy breakfast with juice, fruit, yogurt, meusli, a beautiful egg white omelette and excellent coffee. Everything was super fresh & made to order - no buffet sitting there getting stale.
The big blue & white striped tiger in the dining room was a fun touch.
Staff even found us a cab who took us to the airport on the meter - pretty rare in Thailand for a hotel pick up.
Only downside is that laundry is expensive - but lots of local places which are cheaper
