“Neat and chic”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2013

This hotel was under construction while we were there...but here goes

Pros:
Large grand upmarket hotel
Lovely spa, pool, and areas to relax
Easy to get to/find

Cons:
Lobby staff service isn't very friendly
Breakfast buffet is ran poorly (get there early)
Rooms are dated and smell old
Crap area (if you want to explore there're nothing going on at night)

Room Tip: Choose a room in the new wing of the hotel.

Dear Bellabobella,

Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel, we really appreciate it. It’s great to hear you liked our hotel overall, and especially our location, spa, pool, etc.

Actually, for those wanting to experience ‘real’ Bangkok, we are beside the bustling area of Victory Monument, where there is a fabulous night market happening every evening. We are also close to Soi Rangnam (full of bars and restaurants), Suan Pakkard Palace, Santiparp Park, Phaya Thai Palace and King Power Duty Free.

Please come visit with us again soon.

Kind regards,

“Good hotels for first time visit.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013

This is my 1st time visit to Bangkok and choose to stay at The Sukasol. As seen on google map & street view, the location is easy to reach. Especially by BTS Sky Train. Free Wi-Fi access and lobby is very cool.

Dear AndiKurn,

I’m not sure if you realised, but we actually have free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel (public areas and guest rooms), not just in the lobby ;-)

Thanks for visiting and we hope to have you staying with us again soon.

Kind regards,

“Great value hotel, good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 25, 2013 via mobile

This is our 4th stay at this hotel but first as The Sukosol. The location is fantastic, 5 min walk to the Skytrain and two stops to Siam Centre and MBK. The rooms are spacious and clean and for the price they are excellent value. Many restaurants inside to choose from, if a long day in Bangkok leaves you too tired to venture out. The only negative I can add is that since the change from Siam City to Sukosol, it was a bit like flying with Jetstar. We had to pay 250 baht for a small bucket of ice. I don't really mind paying for ice, but it shouldn't cost twice as much as my dinner did. We would stay here again though. It has everything we like.

“Nice Public Rooms - Old Guests Rooms”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

Great to enter the lobby and see the public areas which are all very beautiful.
Also great breakfast and drinks at the bars....
the rooms (even on the Suite Floors) are disappointing though. Big but old.
The "Club Lounge" only opens for drinks for 1,5 hours - very bad service.
Pool and Gym: Ok but nothing special.

Dear jenskroeger,

Thank you for taking the time to review our property, we really appreciate it.

We are gratified to know that you liked our newly renovated lobby and public areas, along with our buffet breakfast, Sapphire Bar and fitness centre.

It’s saddening to hear that you did not like your room or our Club Lounge, we are working hard to up-grade these facilities and services and will take your comments on board.

We hope to welcome you back to the City of Angels again soon.

Kind regards,

“Good value in Bangkok”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

Very nice and elegant lobby and restaurant area. Rooms have a few years and would be ready for a facelift within the near future...
However, we liked the fact that Sukosol is within walking distance from the shopping district around Siam and MBK (15 minutes walk) and also 2 minutes walk from the sky train Phaya Thai (2 stops to Siam/MBK) and the Airport Express Train (17 minutes nonstop).

Nice breakfast, a good choice of restaurants, nice and quite pool area :)
