Review of Grand Sukhumvit Hotel Bangkok

The restaurant and bar are very expensive by Bangk...

The restaurant and bar are very expensive by Bangkok standards and even Western standards in my opinion. It s cheaper to get a beer in Canada than at this hotel, which is ridiculous. Same for the food. This was very disappointing and the main reason I will not return. Also, although it s clean, the hotel is getting a bit dated (scuffs on some walls in our room, peeling counter finishings, etc). All minor, but unexpected given the 5-star rating on Agoda and over $100 CAD per night price tag.

Location is good but far from downtown and grand palace (20 mins by cab) but close to BTS (3mins to Nana station) and 15 mins walk from the metro. Getting to downtown and Khaosan road from here was a bit of a trek as BTS doesn t go all the way and metro with wait times will take over 45 mins.

The hotel is clean and well managed. The staff are friendly and the bar has live music to keep things lively.

Staff were great. This is a 4-star hotel, not 5. Overall, there are better hotels at this price.
