Introduction Last year when I booked at Marriott Sukhumvit I ended up receiving a room in the jointly managed Exec Apartments Thonglor instead, so I had never actually stayed in the hotel portion of the building and I took a second stab at it this year. This property joined the group of Marriott properties which participates in the Megatix voucher program which made the hotel more competitive and prompted me to book there. The Club Lounge was still closed during this stay like last year but the food & beverage offering remained quite good. For 30 USD per night and considering the value of F&B we received, it made the room essentially free. Room Hotel staff told me that all suites are on floors 36-39 and those floors were entirely closed so I knew before going to the hotel that our chances of a suite upgrade were zero. I booked the entry level room and ended up in an Executive room (I think); I am not sure what is the difference between the first categories of room types because they are all 34 square meters. Anyway the quality of the room was good and I especially liked the marble floor and limited use of carpet which was only around the bed. The shower / tub enclosure was very large and also had marble all around. Considering other hotels in this price range that we visited recently, the room was superior to competitors, in fact I think I liked that room better than some suites we received at other hotels which is unusual. Dining Last year there was no breakfast buffet and the a la carte menu was excellent, this year the buffet has returned. I found the choices to be above average including a daily rotation of curries, fried rice with protein (not only vegetarian), nice pieces of grilled fish (salmon, sea bass), etc. As mentioned above the Club Lounge was closed but Club benefits were offered on the ground floor. Happy hour has been cut back to 2 hours only (5:30pm-7:30pm) but the good news is that they retained the a la carte menu. As far as “lounge food” goes, this hotel is hard to beat. For the price guests currently have to pay at this hotel it was surprisingly good quality, in fact guests could order whatever they wanted from the menu and as many times as they wanted so it could easily be a meal and the menu changed every day. Drinks included cocktails and not only house wine and beer. It is possible to pay as low as 30 USD per night for the room if combining with Megatix, I doubt there are many nice restaurants in Bangkok where a couple can get a multiple-course dinner including cocktails for this price, which means you could technically skip sleeping in the hotel and it would still be good value. Afternoon tea was nothing to write home about – only soft drinks and cookies. Wifi Wifi speed was unstable during our stay. Upload speed was generally good, varying between 30-80 Mbps but I clocked download speed as low as 4 Mbps and as high as 30 Mbps depending on the time of day. This was different than my stay last year where everything was smooth, consequently it seems comments earlier in this thread from [MENTION=193423]nvoi[/MENTION] with slow download speeds are not an isolated issue and has become more problematic since the hotel occupancy has gone up. Overall Overall for 30 USD per night the value was undeniable and even considering the many offers in hotels in Bangkok at the moment, Marriott Sukhumvit is one of the best deals one can find even without the suite upgrade. The little cherry on top for value is that they even provided two free pieces of laundry per day for guests Platinum and above. Given the above average quality of the room I will be inclined to return in the future when things are back to normal to see their suites.
