Agree 110% that SGS' is better... but the difference in the lowest rates between the two properties stand at Baht 2099++ and that can get you lots of things in Bangkok

Thank you yosithezet once again you come to the rescue of fellow FTer ^

Thanks.

They charge 650.00 per person for the buffet.

Just did a one night stay in room 520, 2 more to go. My overall impression:

There is still construction going on, I wouldn't stay here if you are noise
sensitive in the mornings, the sound of concrete drilling radiates through
the building. I stay up late, so sleep during the day is essential. Hopefully this will not longer be an issue when its your turn here.

The Gym has nicely equipped. They've got two of each kind of bikes: (x-train, treadmill, bikes). 5 to 50lbs dumbbells and a corner cable machine. It does look under construction in there.

Also, things are still a bit dusty as expected with construction going on
around the building. I've been tracking foot prints all over the building.

My room was nice, though they forgot my shampoo. All I had were bars of soap. Not a big deal. Couldn't figure out how to play my ipod on the TV, and as SPG Gold, I got cupcakes!

I also got a nice hand written welcome note.

Not bad... ^

Free Night

Thinking about using 3500 for a free night here. Any thoughts on that action?

Will they charge me tax and vat on a free night?

Welcome to FT, swampfox1001!

I've never been charged tax on an award night. The rates at this hotel are so low right now, I don't think it's worth using points. Though I am wondering how you're getting a 3500 point rate - it should be 4000.

Thanks for the info

Lowest rate I can get comes out to about $89 after base rate plus tax and vat.

April prices upto to 3700B ++ room only. No cash and points available. Getting too close to WGS pricing levels now.

This price is way too high for 4P hotel, especially Thai Baht is worth more to US dollar right now.

Since all Hotels in Bkk charge in THB, exchange rates are completely irrelevant. I agree however that at THB3700 I rather stay at the SGS.

Also, it's just much harder for me to book a 4P for THB 3,700.00 when the memories of booking SGS for THB 3,200.00 is still so vivid in my memory....

Absolutemente ! Just spent 5 nites here and loved the place. Canceled award booking and I got in on that Ebookers 60chf off deal and was paying $10/nite. Don't think I'd pay more than 2500 though. Lotsa nice options 2000-2500 in BKK these days and more coming online all the time. It'll be interesting to see what the Aloft on 11 looks like. I'm seeing a jazzed up Citadines. Doubt there'll be a 30 page thread on it though. wj

You could show this to the taxi driver at the airport.






I'll try to improve the quality in the coming days.
