Review of The Ambassador Hotel Bangkok

A lot has changed at the Ambassador in a few years...

A lot has changed at the Ambassador in a few years. Caters to Indian travelers now. Almost exclusive. Busloads outside in front parking lot. Not saying that's good or bad but something to consider. Tower Rooms the best. Badly needs restoration inside. Gym and carpets looks like a time-warp from the 1960s. Great location though. Soi 11 is definitely a happening place.

Ultra hot Climax Night Club down below rocks around Midnight. Crazy street scene. Villa Market close by which is a must if want to stock up on drinks and food. Great restaurant across the street called Rosabieng. If you go at night and sit outside, ask for Mosquito spray or you'll pay an itchy price the next day.

Nana BTS station a block away. You name it, it's probably near the Ambassador. Massage here is legit (well, supposedly most of the time) so look for full body special around 680 baht. Morning breakfast is good. Au Bo Pain in front for good coffee and excellent seating for watching any and everything walk down Soi 11.
