Yeah, so close to Chinese New Year is probably a bad time to get upgrades.

nice stay?

"Nice stay"?
Come on, this hotel is even below Novotel standards, just look at the primitive doorframes and the long walk from reception.
Then again, the location is ideal and if I would need to do it again I would.

Novotel Suvarnabhumi Airport opts for flexible check-in service

Over on BT:
Novotel Suvarnabhumi Airport Bangkok has introduced the convenient "24 hours flexi" check-in service.

Guests booked will be able to check out '24 hours' after they have checked in - or in other words, at the same time that they checked in - at no additional charge. If they check in at 1800, they will be able to check out the next day at 1800, rather than follow the usual midday check out timing. This applies to stays of or more than one night.

The service is available for all reservations made with the hotel either through the website, reservation hotline or travel agent.

The same from Asia Travel Tips

The Novotel Suvarnabhumi Airport Hotel has launched a new “24 Hours Flexi” service that gives guests the flexibility of check-in and check-out time through a 24-hour period while paying only a one night’s stay rate.

The new service is based on the 24-hour period counted from the time of check-in. For example, if the guest checks in at 18:00, they can check out the next day at 18:00 automatically without additional charge.

“24 Hours Flexi” is applicable to all bookings from individuals and groups. Terms and conditions apply.

Novotel Suvarnabhumi is a 10 minutes air-conditioned walk from the airport terminal.

You'd love it.
Just back from Asia. I am Platinum AClub member. The only thing nice I can say about the hotel is that it is very close to the airport and an easy walk. Otherwise the staff was marginal at beat. Ask for something and they just say - no (in very polite English). Did ot seem to care at all about my Platinum status.

Out of curiosity what were you asking for? They've always cared about our platinum statii with free upgrades and been pleasant. Only thing we don't like about it is the mosquitoes in the lobby. Part of being near "Swampy".

Novotel Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport, Bangkok, Thailand [ REVIEW : PHOTOS ]

July 2014, 1 night

|| OUR STAY @ THE NOVOTEL BANGKOK SUVARNABHUMI AIRPORT HOTEL || BKK || BANGKOK || THAILAND || JULY 2014 || by || UggBoy♥UggGirl || PHOTO || WORLD || TRAVEL ||, on Flickr

We know the Novotel Suvarnabhumi seven years now and found out about it only by accident. At the time we were on the way to Koh Samui, but our plane from Copenhagen had been delayed due to technical problems. We received a day room, courtesy of SAS, at the Novotel with free breakfast and lunch. We were impressed by the friendly staff and how beautiful the hotel looked. Ever since we have stayed there, we stay here too, when in Bangkok.

On this occasion we arrived via the Airport Train Link at Suvarnabhumi and took the underground walkway. It was well signed and took around 10 minutes.

We went to the check in desk. Since we had booked an executive room for one night before our flight home we were brought to the Business Center, which also contains the club lounge. Check in took a bit longer than expected, because a suitable room had to be found for us. The staff was always friendly, but very busy.

We were directed to our room, which was based in the same wing as the club lounge.

The rooms hadn't changed much since our last stay in 2009. Ours was large. The walls were dark blue and the furniture also dark. There was Thai modern art work and the room overlooked the pool.

We had a comfortable king sized bed, a writing desk, a chair and coffee table, a mini bar, wardrobe and cupboard. There was also a flat screen TV with local and international channels.

The medium sized bathroom had Novotel own branded amenities, separate bath tub and shower, a sink and toilet.

The shower was smaller than at the Four Seasons or Banyan Tree (please see also reviews), where we had stayed before. All was comfortable to use, though.

Beside the comfortable rooms, we actually enjoy the romance of the hotel and the convenient location to the airport.

All of the restaurants, the reception, the concierge, business center, Executive Club Lounge and some shops are located on the ground floor.

There are Sala Thai for Thai cuisine, The Square (24 hours open and international), Golden Village for Dim Sum and Cantonese, Kinsen (Japanese), the Atrium Terrace, Le Gourmet and Splash Pool Bar.

We went to Le Gourmet for desserts. It has been moved from the side of the stunning atrium to the center. All the cakes we had were wonderful as always. It's our favorite outlet.

The atrium has a lot of Thai features. The reception for example depicts an orchid. There are trees and a water feature. There was also an art exhibition on display, which we found interesting and the art could be bought at the art gallery in the lobby.

During previous stays we went to the pool, enjoyed drinks at the swim up bar, used the spa and visited the Thai Garden, which is a must. It's hidden and a bit difficult to find, but when there, it's tranquil and peaceful.

Kids are also catered for with a small play area in the lobby.

After our stroll through the Thai Garden we went to the Happy Hour at the Club Lounge. The lounge was modern and medium in size.

There was a good selection of hot and cold dishes and desserts.

The staff made also cocktails on request.

There was a small selection of wines and liquors. The red wine we had was very good.

After our savory choices we wanted to have some of the chocolate tartlets. Unfortunately they were finished already, but when we asked nicely we were told they would be back soon. Taking some other nice sweets we returned to our table. A member of staff approached us and apologized, advising that there weren't any chocolate tarts left after all. That was okay with us, but we were surprised when we received a small plate with other chocolate desserts (there were at least six) as an apology. Trying most of them we were really stuffed. To our next surprise somehow the staff had organized three chocolate tartlets for us. We appreciated what the employees did for us, but were in a bend. Being full already we couldn't let the employees down after they went to great length to please us, so we ate the tartlets. They were delicious and worth it.

Originally we had planned to have in room dining after the club lounge, but we had to forget that quickly.

Breakfast is available from 05.00 hours, which was just right for us, because we had an early start to catch our plane to London Gatwick.

The medium sized buffet was good and as all meals high quality. There was a wide choice of Asian and Western dishes, cold cuts, yogurt, cereals and much more.

Check out was done quickly and correctly.

We then took the free shuttle bus to the airport. It runs every ten to fifteen minutes, depending on the time of the day.

We love the Novotel Suvarnabhumi and will always stay there either after or before a flight.

Would we recommend this hotel to a friend? YES! ^
Would we stay again at this hotel? YES! ^

Great report and pictures, uggboy. I'll be staying there again next year, one overnight and one day-room, I was thinking of splurging and staying in an Executive room, your report has convinced me that it would be worth it.

I didn't see the gardens when I stayed there, I'll be sure to check them out this time.

I did find the breakfast to be a bit disappointing, but I only chose the western food. I had dinner at The Square which was great, but next time I'll try Sala Thai.

Again, thanks for the interesting report.
