Stayed in the victory as my first choice the true siam was booked up, this hotel is like it stuck in the 1980's its old, as the title reads badly in need of a revamp. Building itself is beautiful but inside is a different story. The bathroom tiles were mouldy. If this hotel were to be brought up to todays standards it could be something special it has been left to decay. Tried not to spend to much time in the room an eerie feeling around this hotel over 14 floors and you never meet any guests !

The hotel is located in a side street which at first doesn't look promising and the hotel next door did look a better prospect but it more than held up it end. The rooms were less than $50 aus per night and yes they are a bit dated, the bath rooms especially are a little worse for wear. Yet the staff could not be more helpful and friendly, we were met with a smile and they handled the check in process very quickly and professionally. The restaurant was great with a good selection for breakfast ( could do with a change more often, the noodles dish is fabulous but was only on offer every fourth day). The pool is on the roof top and is very clean and well maintained, plus there is a great view of bangkok. The air conditioning in the room worked perfectly and in fact we were turning it down because it could get too cold.
The hotel is well located with the BTS Victory monument station within 200 metres and is centrally located to all the major bangkok sights.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to anyone staying in bangkok, it is a good 3 star hotel with very friendly staff.

Staff are helpful and you can walk to everything. Rooms are clean. Waiting for deals you can get this for a good price as well, especially when comparing with other places that are close. The one downer I do have with this place is the sound through the walls if you have someone next to you. I did not appreciate the Thai men talking to 4 in the morning on the first night. It seems a bit silly given the number of rooms that are here that they would have to book two rooms together. I have been twice and I doubt if they are full, ever!
