I stayed at the Davis hotel for 2 nights and thought that it was fantastic. The room was beautiful and very comfortable. We stayed in the corner wing so there you had to walk outside and along the street to the main hotel to get to the pool but I didn't find this a problem.

The pool was smallish but lovely and the gym was fantastic.

Breakfast was good with a big choice. We had lunch one day by the pool and it was delicious and quiet reasonable.

Location suited us as it was out of the main hustle and bustle but the skytrain was only a 15 minute walk away. The hotel ran a complimentary tuk tik to the skytrain.

We recommended this hotel to family recently and they loved it.

We booked the Davis hotel based on previous reviews on this site and others and I have to admit that I was more than happy. The staff are really lovely. When we arrived at the hotel & were shown to our rooms I discovered that my husband and I had been given two single beds, even though I had specifically requested a room with a king bed. The porter called reception for us to request room change and waited with us discussing all the sites that we could/should do & see which was very helpful. Within 10 minutes the hotel had us in another room with a king bed. We found the breakfast buffet to be just the thing to start our days with.

I don't recommend booking a tour through the tour desk in the lobby though. We arranged a floating market & river Kwai tour as these were the two things that we really wanted to do while in Bangkok. We paid a premium as it was a private tour, just the four of us (two couples) with no other tourists. We were very disappointed as we also visited a salt farm, wood carvers and coconut sugar making which are things that we had no interest in seeing.

Because of these additional stops we were only allowed 30 minutes at the floating markets and 1 hr at the river Kwai to have lunch (which was just horrible) and to walk along the bridge. We did lodge a letter of complaint with the travel company as trip was not what we had paid for. I wouldn't have minded one of these stops only, especially the wood carvers as this was excellent, but the way things were we didn't even have enough time to do any shopping at the markets.

But apart from that we found the location of the hotel pretty good, there is a great little restaurant/bar on a side street opposite the hotel that has fantastic thai food (I loved their green curry) and good range. There is a mini mart also on this street so very convenient. The Emporium shopping complex down the road is also very good, we found some really good bargains there. My husband & I walked down here and did not find the walk too far. Also the station for the sky train is near the Emporium so you can easily hop on that to go to the other parts of Bangkok.

In the mornings if you turn left out of the hotel and walk down the road you will find all the street food stalls, so if you are not happy with the hotels breakfast fare you could always go looking for something else. Also McDonalds if you are inclined.

We will definately stay in this hotel the next time we are in Bangkok.

We stayed at The Davis, Bangkok, for 2 nights. (April 08) The hotel was great, staff were very helpful and very attentive, rooms were really good! We stayed in a deluxe designer room, which was just enough for our requirements. The only thing i would say that it is in the wrong area,
too far away from the center of bangkok. But that is the only fault i can find with it. I think it is aimed at more the business clientelle, rather than the holiday market, but still a great hotel.

I booked The Davis after reading several positive reviews on Trip Advisor. It was my first trip to Bangkok and I had heard lots of horror stories about travellers booking what looked like a safe bet on the internet only to find that the room was not as advertised or was dirty or noisy or in a poor location or all of the above. The Davis cerrtainly lives up to it's billing. I loved it so much that I returned twice after my initial stay. When I turned up late in the day on my final visit I was greeted warmly as a returning guest and upgraded to a superior room. Davis rooms are attractively appointed and spotless. The staff are friendly, professional, helpful. The buffet breakfasts are delicious and fresh. And at the end of a hot, humid day of sightseeing, I really appreciated a dip in one of the two outdoor swimming pools.
