Queens Garden Review

Thanks for the links! Stayed in the Queens Garden Resort, double bed, Aug 13.

PROS
New
Cheap (airport Novotel being a ripoff at US$186)
10 min from airport, just needed to call when arrived for pickup (150 baht each way)

CONS
Sure as hell isn't a "resort"
Shower right next to toilet config, drain didn't work for a few hours
Bathroom "window" was taped up newspaper
Used, (!) hairy soap in soapdish
A bit noisy- didn't seem to be due to airport


In the end, despite the drawbacks, it was worth it. We came into BKK around midnight and had a flight out the next morning, so, after FT consultation, it was not worth going into the city, and the airport luggage lockers are apparently theft-prone.

1600 Baht total for a shower, a little sleep, and timely airport transfers. Just don't expect much more than that.
