The Sukosol Hotel

Staff, amenities and location

Nothing

The location of the hotel is good.

The breakfast hardly had any vegetarian options. Reception staff were generally not warm and friendly. Very few of them understood English and responded well The in-room dining as well had very few vegetarian options and the chefs taking order were not willing to customise to make it vegetarian.

Solo travelers I think would feel comfortable here, though aimed more towards couples. Fairly easy access from Phaya Thai station. Proper sidewalk so big suitcases shouldn't be a problem. Staff were very polite and suitcase storage even after checkout was offered for free. Fairly big breakfast selection, including a few vegetarian options. Fruit selection did change from day to day which was nice. Room was spacious and clean. Even on the "near-the-bottom" 7th floor, it was quiet despite being next to a large road. Comfortable beds and they were happy to offer room cleaning at irregular hours. I do like that the security also was kept moderately strict. At least in my case, they would check that nobody uninvited could come up to your room. I only visually checked the gym and pool, but they both looked nice and well kept.

I wanted to try to the Lotus Spa located inside the hotel, but they overbooked and cancelled my appointment with only a short notice. Two times (Both separate days). I wish they had a better booking system which made overbookings impossible because it does seem popular. The wardrobe light was a bit fiddly to get to turn off and one of the bathroom switches was glitchy (it could have been the lightbulb but unsure).

The staff were very kind and helpful

Too big and a little impersonal. No atmosphere
