Just checked out of the hotel where we stayed for a couple of nights. The overall feel of the hotel is very pleasant.

Pros
We booked a riverside room and where very happy with the view from the balcony on the 58th floor. It seems to be one of the highest hotels in the Silom area.
The room was very large but lacked a feel of luxury.
The staff was very friendly and the service efficient.
The location was also pleasant as it is a short stroll to the ferry pier making it easy to travel to the Grand Palace and other riverside temples.

Cons
The lifts are amazingly slow and few for rooms above level 51(different lifts for lower levels) as they are not reserved only for guests of the hotel. The sirocco restaurant on top of the hotel has a rigid dressing code. We got refused entry because my shoes didn't have heels. We got into the Breeze restaurant another night and although the food was very nice the wine list was really expansive.

For the price, it is overall a nice hotel and I would recommend it.

This is an incredible hotel with the most accomodating staff i have ever encountered! my wife, daughter and i stayed for 4 nights whilst on a round the world trip and this was the best hotel in all departments. the bed sheets are so stupidly comfy, beds are massive and i mean massive and the food in the hotel is top notch every time. its a piece of luxury in every way. book it!!!!

It was a bliss to take a larger-than-life break at lebua in Bangkok during IIFA weekend, and I was lucky to book my room in advance here to avail a special offer of 3+1 free night. I use portals like travelocity to compare the prices for the captioned dates, then double-check the offers directly at the property. It mostly works wonders for both hotels and airlines.

The BMW airport pickup early morning was efficiently handled, the guest relations lady was prompted to receive us at the porch and led us directly to our balcony suite. We reached 55th floor through express lifts, the first feel of the room size took us by surprise. It appeared to be a steal for the money we were paying for it, we had to hold our excitement in place till the lady finished her mandatory brief about the facilities. It was a non-smoking room and my friend was a smoker. We were made to sign an undertaking and then the balcony doors were opened for our access. He could smoke outside in the balcony while marveling at the bird eyeview of Bangkok. However, there was a big confusion amongst the hotel staff about allowing a guest to smoke in a non-smoking floor - everytime we ordered for a matchbox during our stay. Language could be a minor challenge to communicate with the junior staff here.

The room was so comfortable that we were dissuaded to step out in the muggy afternoons, airconditioning was so strong that we were fine with the impact of the living room AC unit in our bedroom. At times, we used to open the balcony door to ease the comfort level of room temperature (with total disrespect for environment and energy conservation).

Our room rate was exclusive of breakfast, but we could stock the refrigerator with basic supplies and use the hot plates and microwave over to help ourselves. We had two television sets at our disposal, so two of us could see different programs. Toilet was very spacious too and supplies were appropriately Bvlgari ;-)

There is nothing grand about the public areas and corridors - but don't miss their award-winning restaurant at the rooftop. Sirocco - part of The Dome along with its almost-hanging Sky Bar at 68th level is an experience to treasure for rest of your life. This is the place to fix your blind dates a-la-sleepless in seattle, a place to test your vertigo, a place to embrace the breeze while savouring the gourmet delights in an al-fresco setting at such a height. This is very popular with both locals and tourists and many of them are not aware of the hotel facility within this building.

Our celebrity friends, who were housed at another hotel by the organisers of IIFA, came here for dinner and immediately fell in love with the property.

The location is convenient to walk across to other legendary and popular hotels for meals. I had a high-tea at Authors Lounge at Oriental; took a free ferry from pier next to Shangri La for a dinner at The Peninsula.

We are sure that there would be many more trips to lebua in future...

This hotel is superb in every sense. The number of staff to guest ratio is so high, that you are always greeted with smiles whereever you go and if you need any help or assistance, they are more than happy to help. The rooms are really more like apartments and the balcony views are breathtaking..so do sign the declaration. This is all for a reasonable price. We had a package deal with drinks at the roof top bar which has the best views of Bangkok. Also we had some Thai massages which were worthwhile getting as our package gave 50% discount. We had a few problems with our room (like the air conditioning leaked plus the toilet got blocked) - but nothing major and the hotel manager immediately came to see us and offered us a discount or a limo to the airport!!! I think they really blend the personal touch with a professional attitude in this hotel, I was very impressed. ..I just hope it doesn't get too popular and the prices rocket as I would definitely return there someday.
