To be honest I've never found this place particularly generous with upgrades, contrary to what various others seem to have experienced. I have had issues on each of my last three stays here unfortunately, so thinking I'll probably be adding this place to my avoid list now. It's a shame, as I love the breakfast in The Rain Tree Cafe and the pool is one of the best in Bangkok.
Booked here for two nights after two nights at the StR in June, but these posts are a little concerning. Anyone have some recent experiences? Will be a titanium member during my stay so I was hoping for an upgrade if rooms are available.
