Ascott – Sathorn Bangkok, Thailand

We have stayed at Ascott Sathorn on a number of occasions now and they have never let us down. The available combination of rooms has been wonderful for family and groups of friends and the kitchen/laundry in each apartment is a bonus. I prefer this location to those in the middle of the shopping malls etc.
and while the proximity to the sky train makes it easy to access all tourist facilities, taxis are readily available. (One caution, if you do have elderly people in your party, the sky train option may be out as there doesn’t appear to be a lift to the platform at this stage.) Staff are curteous and helpful. Everyone we introduce to Ascott is impressed with the facilities and service. We will definitely keep returning.
All rooms are spacious and selection would be dependent on the size of your group (ie studios are more than adequate for 2).
We’ve been pleased to stay at the Ascott Sathorn on many occasions over the past few years and we’ve recommended it to many friends and colleagues but unfortunately we now have reservations. We still agree that the location is terrific, apartments are well appointed (starting to get a little tired but not shabby) and variety of layouts on offer make it suitable for many different groups. Breakfast has never been outstanding but it’s more than enough to get you through the day. The biggest problem for us this time was the wifi – it was totally unreliable and this is a huge problem when we need to work remotely. Speed was shocking, it dropped in and out, and staff were not keen to discuss at all which led us to believe there was a bigger problem. As it turns out, during our stay, all guests were informed that the wifi was being shutdown for repairs/improvements and after a few hours down time, nothing had improved – if anything, it was worse. If you don’t need wifi, it’s still very good value for money but I will need to hear some very positive reports before I return planning to work.
Stayed July 2014, travelled with friends.
