Le D'Tel Bangkok

It was very clean, the surrounding was good. Very close to good restaurants, 7/11, .. All in one very nice stay! Would stay there again

The walls are very thin.. you can literally hear everything from your neighbors room

the atmosphere

the quietness

The reception staff were excellent, and the room was decent.

The window does not close properly, the pool water has a strange smell, and the air conditioning is not cool enough.

13-Day Stay at L D’Tel Bangkok (October 1–13) Positives * Most staff were pleasant, although two staff members occasionally came across as annoyed or sassy. * Great breakfast buffet with a good variety of Western and Asian dishes, soups, an egg station, bread, cereal, coffee, and juices. * Convenient location with plenty of restaurants, three 7-Elevens within a two-block radius, fruit stands, and pharmacies. I primarily used taxis and Grab, so I can’t comment on public transportation access. * Daily housekeeping; my room was consistently cleaned.

Negatives Unreliable air conditioning My biggest issue was the inconsistent air conditioning. I initially thought I might be imagining things, but my room’s temperature fluctuated significantly despite keeping the blackout curtains closed. On my 12th day, I stayed in to work and attend meetings. Although the thermostat was set to 18°C (64.4°F), the room reached 26–26.5°C (78.8–79.7°F). I contacted the front desk, and a technician inspected the unit, assuring me it should improve within 10 minutes. However, 30–40 minutes later, the room was even hotter, reaching 28°C (82.4°F). After I called again, two technicians returned and eventually told me I needed to change rooms. The front desk then informed me that the new room wasn’t ready and asked me to wait. A few minutes later, they called again to ask whether I wanted a higher floor and whether I was okay waiting another hour. That was the breaking point. I was about to join a meeting while sitting in an unbearably hot room, and being asked if I was fine felt incredibly tone-deaf. I eventually had to follow up myself after another 40 minutes before staff brought me the new room keys. I thought the problem was finally resolved, but at 3 a.m., the same AC issue occurred in the new room. Experiencing the same problem twice, including in the middle of the night, was beyond frustrating. Very unreliable Wi-Fi The Wi-Fi was another major disappointment. While streaming content through the TV worked fine, connecting my phone to the hotel Wi-Fi was a different story. On most days, it was so unreliable that even downloading iMessage or LINE messages was a struggle. For a hotel stay of 13 days, having Wi-Fi that couldn’t reliably handle basic messaging was extremely inconvenient. I consider myself an easygoing guest. I don’t need special treatment; I simply want to be comfortable without repeatedly contacting the front desk to resolve basic issues.
