The location wasn't particularly bad, and there were tuk-tuks parked right in front of the hotel, which was great because I could go out and explore right after checking in. The room was clean, and while some might be bothered by the cleanliness of the bathroom, it didn't bother me personally. The front desk staff were very polite, and I had a lot of fun with the hotel's amenities like the pool, gym, and table tennis. It was also convenient to have a Lawson and a 7-Eleven nearby. Oh, and the big pink bear right inside the hotel entrance was really cute, which I liked.

Wireless/Chidlom Bangkok|2.5km from city centre
The location is about a five-minute walk from Chit Lom station, and it's quite quiet at night. The decor is very retro and stylish. The rooftop bar isn't large, but it's pleasant to have a drink and enjoy the breeze. The only downside was that one of my phones couldn't access the Wi-Fi login page for some reason, so I had to rely on my data the whole time. Also, because it's so retro, the lighting is quite dim. If I were traveling alone, I probably wouldn't choose to stay here.

Siam Bangkok|2.39km from city centre
I was very lucky to get an upgrade, and the room was incredibly spacious and comfortable. The gym has a comprehensive range of weight training equipment, and there are even free trainer-led classes every day at 3 PM, which I found to be a great value. There's also a game room, delicious meals, and plenty of free, good coffee on the first floor. On the first day, I asked housekeeping for two extra bottles of water, and every day after that, my room had four extra bottles – that was very thoughtful. The only minor drawback was that the hot water was a bit unstable.

Siam Bangkok|3.73km from city centre
The hotel is located in a relatively bustling area, right next to the King Power Duty-Free Shop, which makes buying souvenirs very convenient (you need to register your passport information on the first floor to enjoy tax-free shopping). The hotel environment is beautiful, and the swimming pool is crystal clear. The only downside is that there are only two treadmills in the gym, so you often have to wait in line if you want to run in the morning.

Silom/Sathorn Bangkok|0.82km from city centre
Facilities: This place is perfect for young trendsetters, not in a 'nightclub' way, but more like a playground for the fashionable crowd. Cleanliness: The pillows and bedding felt incredibly smooth and crisp, a refreshing change from the damp feeling I experienced at a hotel in Pattaya. Location: Absolutely in the heart of the city, can't beat it! Close to the subway and within walking distance of many attractions, right next to the Pixel Building. Service: Warm and welcoming, meeting Marriott's luxury standards, as expected. When I went to Paii for dinner, the staff even addressed me by my last name. 🐝 Bonus: I especially loved the MIX cocktails in the room! Shaking up my own drinks in the evening and sharing the 'Cocotail' fun with friends was a highlight! Highly recommend! ❤️🔥

The room was very spacious. Hygiene: Very clean. Environment: The hotel is a bit old, but the room has been newly renovated. Service: Since the three-bedroom suite wasn't available for extension, I rebooked this room. After checking out of the original room, we stored our luggage at the front desk and went out. When we returned, the front desk had already processed the check-in for the new room. As soon as we got to the room and put our luggage down, the staff delivered the luggage we had stored at the front desk.

I stayed for 3 nights. The location is good, but it's a bit of a walk from the nearest BTS station, which was a little tough with a large suitcase. However, it's easy to get around by calling a motorcycle taxi via Grab. Although it's one of the lower-tier Hilton brands, the breakfast exceeded my expectations with a great variety and delicious food.

Sukhumvit Bangkok|3.87km from city centre
The hotel is located in the Sukhumvit area. The staff were very friendly and provided excellent service. During my first stay, the room was nice and well equipped with everything I needed, including large bottles of shampoo and body wash, a hair dryer, a kettle, tea and coffee, a wardrobe, and a small working area. However, my experience during my second stay was not quite as good. There was a small hole in the door, which made me feel a little uncomfortable, although it was not possible to see through it from outside. The sink was also clogged. The staff were very helpful and immediately sent someone to fix it. When it could not be repaired, they kindly upgraded me to a family room. Despite the issues with the room, I was very impressed with how the staff handled the situation and took care of me. The location is also convenient, with a 7-Eleven and several restaurants nearby. I would stay here again if I needed to attend a meeting in this area. The only downside is that the surrounding area can feel a little unsafe or uncomfortable when walking alone at night.

Suvarnabhumi Airport/Bang Na Bangkok|12.89km from city centre
The hotel looks nice from the outside, and the staff were polite. However, the room felt a bit dated and could benefit from some maintenance and refurbishment. The pillow had a slight odor, and a few facilities in the room were showing signs of wear, such as the soap holder, bidet spray, and toilet seat. The bathroom could also use more attention to detail, as I noticed some spider webs. One thing to be aware of is that the hotel appears to be popular with China groups, and the lobby was often quite busy. At times, some guests were lying down in the lobby area, which made the atmosphere feel an uncomfortable.

Pratunam Market Bangkok|3.41km from city centre
I had previously visited this hotel on an excursion from Pattaya. Now, traveling with my daughter to Koh Samet via Bangkok, we didn't hesitate to book this hotel again. I wanted to show my daughter the revolving observation deck on the 84th floor, the museum, and the large, diverse dinner buffet. We stayed on the 28th floor. The staff was welcoming, and the hotel's floor layout is well-planned. The reception is on the 18th floor. We were greeted immediately upon arrival, our luggage was taken care of, and we were escorted to reception. We were checked in a bit early, at 1 PM, and led to our room. The door opened and… I was surprised. The exterior impression didn't match the interior. The room was spacious, but had low ceilings, old and worn-out furniture. It was a corner room and very dark, with only one small, narrow window (very dirty) and unwashed curtains, overlooking a neighboring hotel wall. You could barely catch a glimpse of the city (we had booked a non-corner room with a city view). The large room had only two small lights, perhaps to hide the room's surprises. The entire room had carpet (which also seemed ancient). The bed linen and towels were clean but visibly old and worn from countless washes; the duvet cover even had pilling, and the towels were far from white – they really should have been replaced. The carpet also extended throughout the hotel corridors, which I believe contributed to the musty smell in both the room and corridors, a smell even the air fresheners (sprayers located everywhere – in corridors and lifts) couldn't mask. During housekeeping, the maid constantly turned on the air conditioning in our room. Initially, we didn't understand why. We went to reception to return a misplaced card (thinking the maid had left it during cleaning), and they told us to leave it on so the air conditioner would run. Then the picture became clear: if you turned off the air conditioning, an unpleasant smell filled the room, and even the sewage smell from the toilet carried through the ventilation. Strangely, there's no ventilation in the toilet, so we had to leave the door open when we left the room and keep the air conditioning on 16°C. This hotel is in dire need of renovation! The room's price doesn't reflect its condition. The hotel has a sports area with mini-golf and a small swimming pool (also from the same outdated facilities). There's also a floor with a spa and fitness center. On the 18th floor, there's a small shop and a few cafes. The food at the hotel, both breakfast and dinner, was excellent. You can dine on the balcony (with glass railings) on the 81st floor – the view is superb. This is the only thing that makes up for the hotel's aging facilities. There's a free transfer to the airport metro line – which is great! I recommend staying on the upper floors for a magnificent view! I only recommend this hotel for short stays.

Silom/Sathorn Bangkok|1.75km from city centre
Came here for our anniversary trip, and at this price, it was truly a steal. The service is five-star, but the facilities are four-star at best. First, the pros: 1) Excellent service. They upgraded our room knowing it was our anniversary and even sent us dessert. 2) Housekeeping was very prompt, even cleaning twice. The first time was for general tidiness, and the second was for detailed touches (like laying out absorbent mats, etc.). My cosmetics were also neatly organized. 3) The room was very spacious, with comfortable bedding and a sofa. 4) They provided aromatherapy candles and other amenities, and someone even knocked on our door every evening to deliver facial mist. 5) High floor with great views. Now, the cons: 1) Currently undergoing extensive renovation, so the public areas are very small. The hotel lobby entrance requires going through a narrow, cardboard-partitioned corridor, which looks undignified. 2) Due to the renovation, check-in was on the 19th floor, and the waiting time was extremely long. It was the longest I've ever waited to check in. Every time we returned to our room, we had to go to the 19th floor to switch elevators to the guest room area. 3) A bit far from the subway station. Although there's a shuttle service, it's hourly and requires advance booking, so we didn't end up using it. 4) The in-room facilities are indeed old. The showerhead was difficult to use, with low water pressure and couldn't be fixed in place. 5) The TV placement was puzzling, but we didn't watch it anyway. I [redacted] but the hotel didn't offer any other plain porridge options... just a verbal mention.

Overall, we had a good stay at Amari Bangkok. The hotel is comfortable, well located, and the service was good. Everything was great, but housekeeping could be improved. We stayed for 3 nights and the room was not vacuumed at all during our stay. It would have been perfect if housekeeping could at least vacuum the room on alternate days, especially for a multi night stay. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and would be happy to return.
