I booked a standard room on latestays.com about a week before my trip. A few days later they lowered the rate from Baht 2,300 per night to Baht 1,990 per night. When I checked in they refused to honor the lower price which I thought was pretty cheap of them.

The room was spacious and clean. It was on the main road and was fairly noisy with the tuk tuks and sirens going by on occasion. The air conditioner cut off on a regular basis, the desk people said that was a regular occurrence as they ice up. I haven't ever had that problem in a hotel in Bangkok before.

When we checked out they added Baht 100 to the bill for a broken toilet spray. I though that was a pretty cheap thing to do also.

The fitness room was ok but the three air conditioners did little to cool it off. The pool was small but sparkling clean and nice. The sauna worked fine.

The breakfast was stingy to say the least. Three choices and they seemed to begrudge even providing a glass of water. The Asian breakfast was a bowl of rice soup with absolutely nothing else. Very poor compared to the breakfast usually provided in a quality hotel.

I wouldn't stay there again although the location is fine.

I recently stayed at the Admiral Suites in Feb '08. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was spacious and clean. One thing I especially liked was that the room was exceptionally quiet. Did not hear one of my neighbors and I was next to the elevator. The sky train is a moderate walk (~10 min) and there is a very nice Thai massage place just up Soi 22. One minor negative was that there was some mold on the shower curtain. But otherwise the bathroom was fine. I would recommend the Admiral Suites to anyone needing a nice and very affordable hotel in Bangkok.

We were picked up from the airport as arranged in a very comfortable limousine, taken to the hotel, where the staff were extremely courteous and helpful. The room was very comfortable, although the furnishings were a little tired. We had vouchers to take breakfast in the coffee shop next door, and there we could use the internet free of charge. It was conveniently situated between 2 Skytrain stations just off the Sumkivet Road, however, as these were over half Km away, if you were not able bodied, this might be a problem. Plenty of taxis around though. There was a good variety of restaurants nearby. All the main shopping areas are accessible from the Skytrain and many of the attractions too. Bedding and towels were changed everyday, the room was quiet, and although we didn't use the swimming pool or the Gym, they were available. We had a good time and would definitely use the Admiral Suites again. Excellent value for money.

I have stayed at the admiral suites about 10 times over the last 4 years and they are my only choice when staying in BKK. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Howie (manger) is excellent at answering emails and arranging reservations etc. Rooms are great and you have choice of 4 types with reasonable prices. Maid service really good as they know not to try and clean my room till after dinner time :) In house movie service is good, but TV could do with more movie channels but thats not a major issue.

Swimming pool on the roof is great especially the water spa, and the small gym is ok to burn a few excess calories off.

Overall I cant ask for any better
