This was our first time to Bangkok and the hotel was wonderful! We had the breakfast buffets, which were very convenient. TA was so hospitable and helped us choose places to stay. This hotel is within 3 miles of all of the most famous sights, including the Grand Palace, Siam Paragon shopping center, and other temples. We usually took Tuk Tuks (very fun), but you must negotiate prices because they always want to give high fares to tourists (300 baht). At the time of our visit, it cost around 60 baht (2 US dollars) to get around (one way) from the hotel, but we do tip.
