- Name of the hotel: Sofitel Sukhumvit, Bangkok
Stayed 8 to 12 Jan 2014

- What is your Le Club status?Platinum

- Were you (or for multi-stayers were you generally) happy with the hotel/stay? Yes

- Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
Deluxe (cheapest) upgraded to corner room and lounge access (with breakfast thrown in) Fruit basket and daily NY times.
Check in at lounge 31st floor. Received welcome drink voucher which we did not use: went to lounge instead.
Third stay, got 3 different rooms, liked the one with office desk in alcove and bathroom at end of room most, but won't comply for any of them.

- How are the rooms?
Excellent, found airco control weird, you modify temp but display shows initial temp, you have to wait 1 or 2 hours before the display shows the new temp. Also loudness of TV is controlled via Bose system, if OFF you won't hear anything and a few time there was an auto shut-off...

- What was good and what was bad?
Good:
On the contrary of previous poster mentioning problems we had none: rooms made up by 14.00, turn down each day around 18h.
Could not fault breakfast spread unlike poster mentioned in Sofitel Sukhumvit thread, everything refilled on the go. Excellent choice in cheese department.
We are well know by staff now, especially with our little one, almost 3y young charming little girl, even the 7/11 next doors remember her by name as soon as she walked in....

Bad:
Nothing really

- Did you get club lounge access? How was the lounge?
Yes, Lounge very quite as opposed previous visit (october)
Warm welcome and excellent service by lounge staff.

- Value for $ or Vouchers? Would you return?
Booked with 40% discount, thus excellent value considering lounge access and breakfast thrown in.
We will be back somewhere 2014.
