This is my 3rd stay at the Le Meridien. The hotel is very well situated for those wanting to visit Silom but it is not far from the shopping at Paragon or MBK. Likewise, it is a short walk to the Skytrain for adventures further afield. Close to everything you need.

The entire hotel is very nicely designed and stylish.

The staff is welcoming and helpful. I did not try the restaurants.

The pool area is small, but nice for a quick swim after a hot day. The gym was on the small size, but hardly used from what I could see.

Le Meridien is so well located that the first time we visited Patpong we wondered why we hadn't stayed at that hotel, so on our second visit to Bangkok WE DID! Boy, oh boy that was a nice choice! The deco is nice. Very spacious and welcoming. I really dug that. My room was spacious and I enjoyed how the bathroom had this fancy door that you could open up and see whoever was showering, very romantic! Really clean place, friendly staff!

The location near patpong can be a gift or a curse. Family group, curse. Bachelor friend group, GIFT! If you haven't heard of patpong, google it. There is nothing better than being a minute away from the crazy nightlife of Bangkok. I never tried their buffet breakfast and instead just ordered in, and it was worth the money, which isn't that much money to begin with, as prices in bangkok even for this hotel were low in my opinion. Really fast internet connection too.

The best thing about this hotel is the style, overall and in the rooms. The staff were extremely polite and helpful with everything we needed. The location can be a bit of a problem if you are interested in the major sightseeing spots, which are a long taxi ride away (with the traffic). Also, as other reviewers have mentioned, the neighborhood is rather seedy; but this should be expected if you know you are booking a hotel in Patpong.
