our family stayed for 5 days and 10 days at GP this march. overall 5 star family style (not 5 star oriental) hotel with good rooms, new appliances (the combo washing machine/dryer was different!). we stayed in tower 2 royal suite. the location and the staff attitude are the two best things about this hotel. pool is repaired and just great. GP now has its own "green taxis" so you can avoid the touts out in front. took us wherever, no backtalk, on the meter. the previous two posts just about sum it up. everything was smooth and pleasant. nearby restaurants including limoncello, rosnbieng, and tapas were very good.

This was my 3rd stay and unlike other BKK hotels, there was consistent quality for all 3 stays. The location is great particularly since you are right near the transit system (both metro and train) and you can get anywhere fast. I always book a large suite(bedroom, kitchen area and living room) and usually one that has the washing machine and dryer because I can do my laundry in the evening. Compared to most hotels, the rooms are gigantic and nicely furnished. Room service food was good and service was fast. Housekeeping was excellent. Front desk service can't be beat and the staff are professional. Security is also good. It is obvious that this place is well managed and someone invested in staff training. A couple negative comments; My bathroom needed some plumbing work as the shower faucet was broken, there were burnt out light bulbs in the room, and for some odd reason I had no hot water in my bathroom for my stay. I'm not complaining as the positive aspects of the place outweighed some of the glitches. I do want to stress that this is the only time it occurred to me in my 3 stays. I mention it in case someone is super picky and I'm sure if I had complained, management would have done something fast, so I don't blame the place. I've made requests at other times and they have bent over backwards to help me. This is why I didn't care about the glitches. BTW, breakfast time is very busy, so get there early or else there is no room for you. (Indicates how popular the restaurant is I guess.) Overall, this is a great spot to stay and you will not be disappointed. It's the perfect place for everyone. Even party animals won't be disappointed because you are a 15 minute walk from the main clubs. Older folks will like the efficiency and quiet. Families will like it for the facilities and the pool(s). As a sidenote, if the place ever gets too busy, the site is managed by Compass Properties and they have other locations which are similar in quality. You can check out everything on the Grand president website which is very well done and makes booking easy. As well, the pictures and floor plans are accurate.

We stayed here for 11 days in two separate stays at the beginning and end of our trip. both times we were in suites. The first time was in tower 1 and the second time in tower 2....the tower 2 room was larger and may have been a royal suite....not sure. Anyway, we found the entire staff friendly and helpful throughout our stay.....all help and questions were patiently received and answered. The bellmen were always there to assist or answer any question with regard to transportation or baggage handling. (We left one bag with them while we took a side trip to Cambodia.) Both rooms were worn and starting to show "wear", but they were always well serviced and clean. We loved having a safe in the room and a large refrigerator.....it was nearly 100F every day and a cool drink and airconditioned living room made our stay much more pleasant. There is a business center and both ladies that run it are competent, gracious and friendly. This hotel is well-priced and a real value.....considering the size of the rooms, the wonderful breakfast buffet and its superb location to the Nana Skytrain. There are loads of ATMs in the area and a good western style market a few doors away....called the Villa Market and it is open 24 hours. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at the Grand President at the beginning and end of our trip to Thailand. What a great place to both start and end our adventures. We arranged a pickup at the airport as we got in late and from the time we were picked up, everything was first class all the way. Nice cold towels and icy cold water in the hotel van, and super fast check in when we got to the hotel. The staff was always pleasant, friendly and smiling. We had no problems at all with the rooms. The location of the hotel is great, just a 5 minute walk to the BTS SkyTrain. No problems at all getting around.
The food in Cafe 11 was always great, whether for breakfast (great buffet), lunch (again a great buffet) or supper. The rooms we stayed in were neat and clean. All in all this was a great hotel to get prepared for our Thailand trip and a great place to wind down from the trip.
Thanks to all of the staff for making our stay such a great experience.
