Phaya Thai Palace

4 stjerner kan og skal dette hotel ikke have. Det er gammelt, slidt, støjende(både andre gæster som kan høres igennem de tynde vægge, men også blæsere og udendørsenhederne til aircondition som står lige op af altandøren) og ingen steder i lobbyen hvor man kan sidde og nyde et glas koldt et eller andet. Morgenmaden er OK men heller ikke mere. Vi kunne først tjekke ind 1 time senere end angivet og var derfor nødsagwt til at forlade hotellet igen og komme tilbage om aftenen for at få hotelnøglen.

We had a mixed experience during our stay at AETAS Lumpini. Upon arrival, we missed being welcomed with a welcome drink, which would have added to the five-star experience. Unfortunately, the hotel did not have the fresh, luxurious scent expected from a five-star property. There was an old and stuffy smell in the lobby, corridors, and rooms. The furniture also appeared somewhat old and worn and the carpets were stained in several places. A fresh fragrance throughout the hotel would make a huge difference to the first impression. We booked two Premier Suites, which were very spacious at 70 m² and had a wonderful view and a beautiful jacuzzi. We loved the thoughtful detail of the rotating TV, allowing us to watch from both the bed and the jacuzzi, and it was great to have Netflix available. The free minibar was a lovely touch, and the complimentary cakes, drinks, and canapés in the lounge were delicious and a major plus. The pool was large and pleasantly deep, although the view was not very inspiring. We also missed a cozy smoking area where guests could sit comfortably and relax. A huge bonus was the late checkout until 16:00, as we did not have to go to the airport until late in the evening. This made our last day much more comfortable and enjoyable.
