Novotel Bangkok Silom Road

Two family marts around, the massage shop Botanika next few doors was good! Overall was average and the hotel staff was extremely friendly and nice! I judged these base on a 4 start hotel as it claimed.

To be honest, everything here was average, I thought it will be at least good enough... the toiletries only have one small bottle of shampoo & body gel actually I expected slightly more like body lotion and brush and shaver. Toilet’s basin is kind of bad design as the tap water easily stay around the basin, also don’t have toilet exhaust fan so the water is not easily dry. There is no mirror at desk so if you want to do some makeup or styling hair you need to do it in the toilet with the wet basin you see or at the entrance’s sitting area. Toilet door is also kinda bad design, if you push it will stuck to the floor so be careful coz you might break the whole glass door if it is too strong, I always need to remind myself it is only pull because my habit is always push. Breakfast also average but not too bad. Location... not very close to metro station to be honest. WiFi also not working sometimes, not running sometimes.

Location is not great but quite convenient to the sites (palace, wat arun etc) as it is 10 min walk from Sathorn pier. Good restaurants and a huge western style supermarket (Robinson) are very close too. Thai massage shops just nextdoor.

Room had a constant smell of sewage and it was too small for the price... A couple with a young infant and two suitcases can hardly leave any space to move around. Shower gel is cheap, u need two or three passes to take Bangkok's stickiness off you and the hair dryer is dying every 1 min of functioning
