Le Meridien Bangkok was a big positive surprise. It's clean and cozy. Service is excellent. The round bed was very comfortable, made for great sleeping. The biggest surprise though was a quality of the dining. I was shocked at how good the buffet was. The pool deck is a great place to relax after a long day of schlepping.

The location is excellent for exploring Bangkok with Patpong market across the street and the skytrain just a few blocks away.

I stayed there over Xmas and I can only give praise....from being picked up from airport to being brought back.

When I arrived, no upgrades were available and they apologized and said that something for sure would come up the next day, when they asked me to move the next day, I was ok where I was. Was a high floor, with a great view and very quiet. The room was clean and very comfortable.

The lounge for Platinum members is actually held in one of their bars...really chic and the highly appetizers are delicious.

The people, the staff everywhere on the premise were extremely forthcoming.

I will be back!

Bangkok has so many hotels to choose from, it is always hard to know if you are booking the right one. Having been recommended this by a friend & being a preferred hotel by my company we booked it. The choice was definitely the right choice. The hotel is immaculate and on trend with latest 2012 interior design fashion. The staff are very helpful & polite, always greeting you. The buffet breakfast is so extensive catering for every culture, western breakfast ( egg white omelette for the fitness fans) asian breakfast, European (French & Italiano), Japanese breakfast.

We spent time around the pool which is a nice sanctuary away from the busy Bangkok streets. Nice modern ministry of sounds chill out music around the pool. Gym is great, modern equipment including Smith machine with big plates for squats, dead lifts or bench press.

Literally 10 metres from Patpong market. Now I'm with my wife so not into the Patpong bar scene, however the bar scene is not in your face. Yes, people ask if you want show, but then they ask if you want a tuk tuk or watch, that is Bangkok. The market is great, great handbag store on left hand side as you just walk into market, same side as bank. Great little cheap eat restaurants on Surawong road opposite market makes for great people watching.

Will definitely return to this hotel.

Stayed for 4 nights. Excellent check-in. Hotel very impressive. Rooms very big. Got early check in without additional cost. Had food at the buffet every evening as included in price. However, for a hotel of this status, I would have expected the food to have been much better. I would definitely book again.
