1. Main advantage of hotel is it's location. This hotel is situated at heart of the downtown, just next to both Skytrain and metro stop as well as closer to Terminal 21 shopping mall. The main drawback of this place is in order to reach this place from various part of city by taxi, will take long time due to traffic congestion. The other detriment of this place is evening just outside the hotel compound you can see what Bangkok is famous for in the street, so if you travel with kids don't be embarrassed while walking in the street platform!

2. If you're Starwood member, there is separate floor for the stay (floor 16), quite, clean and complimentary mineral water available.

3. Due to lack of place both swimming pool and gym quite small for the 5 star hotel category. Surprisingly there is no Jacuzzi in this hotel? They have the Vareena Spa at 8th floor, which was quite expensive compared to other places but well trained staff treated well. Good Experience!

4. Everyday morning buffet available at Taste restaurant, almost same menu except few changes in the dishes, but still worth it.

5. Free Wifi available only at the lobby, at the room absolutely not . (there are many hotels surrounding this place offers free wifi at room as well).

6. Except the location, don't think so any other advantage staying in this property?

I have stayed at Westin Grande Sukhumvit countless times. There are always newer, bigger, "better" hotels than Westin Grande Sukhumvit but I still doggedly chose Westin despite my suppliers saying "there are bigger hotels XX and YY" Perhaps ... I like her location; steps away from the BTS station ASOK, steps away from Terminal 21, a new and hip mall filled with choice restaurants, supermarket, pharmacy, steps away from Robinsons and Top Supermarket, steps away from a good value foot masseur, steps from amenities like hairdresser, manicure, and for the brave hearted...delicious "real" Thai food stalls along the road. I have stayed at countless hotels in Bangkok during my business and leisure trips and none have matched the convenience Westin can provide.

Perhaps its the staff? Westin also boost a good staff team who seem to stay, the people at the door, the concierge, the front desk ladies, the spa team, the breakfast team, it feels like coming back to somewhere homely and comfortable. Some seem to recognize me, for the reasons I hope. The lobby is comfortably scented and breakfast has enough choice for a week's stay. There are quite a lot of parking available beside the hotel. All taxis know where Westin is. And its not that far off from the airport about 40-60mins, traffic is always a little unforgiving in Bangkok.

The rooms are similar sized to that of a 5 star hotel in Bangkok, the club floors are a little larger, separate shower and tub facilities, good bath amenities and the comfortable Westin Heavenly bed, comfy room slippers and bathrobe.

There is only a little grouse: the shower mixer is a little old. Well that does need some fixing.

That aside, Westin is still my first choice in Bangkok.

Continue to return to this great hotel. Well located across road from Terminal 21 mall and monorail. Easy access to all parts of city including chatuchal markets. Rooms are well appointed. Great club level, although small in size which makes it busy at peak times. Bathrooms could be updated as showers often dont have water pressure. Still a favorite and great value for money
