Aiden Surawong Bangkok

This is hands down the worst hotel I've ever stayed at in Bangkok. My friends and I booked four rooms, and three of them had serious hygiene issues. In my room, there were hairs from the previous guest, a SIM card, and bloodstains on the bed. One of my friends' rooms was crawling with ants on the bed, nightstand, and TV cabinet. And in another room, there was a dirty sock left by the previous guest in the corner. When we reported this to the front desk, the staff was incredibly indifferent 😑, not even offering an apology. Only after I insisted did they change our rooms. And seriously, don't trust the photos; the 'pool' was smaller than the communal bath at my village's bathhouse. It was truly as bad as it gets. The experience was absolutely terrible. Plus, one of the front desk staff had poor English, making communication difficult.

I highly recommend this hotel to young people who enjoy trying new things. The hotel has even added deflectors to the air conditioners in the rooms, addressing previous concerns about the draft. The overall decor is very unique and stylish. The breakfast is absolutely fantastic, especially being à la carte. I particularly loved their spicy Thai sausage slices. Both the coffee and Thai milk tea were better than what you'd find in most small cafes. The location is also convenient, not far from two airports and various attractions. The service from the 8th-floor front desk and the 1st-floor greeters/luggage storage staff was excellent as well.

The hotel's location is convenient, with a 7-Eleven downstairs and a street full of massage shops. It's not in a secluded area, but right by a main road. The environment is impeccably clean and hygienic, there's nothing to fault. The staff are excellent; they're able to meet and follow up on customer requests. My friends and I had a fantastic time in Bangkok this trip, and we were extremely satisfied with the accommodation. We'll definitely stay at this hotel again next time we're in Bangkok. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

If you're looking for a pool view or a completely quiet stay, you can just scroll past and don't bother booking this hotel. It can get a bit noisy on lower floors at night, and the comments about the air conditioning blowing directly at your head are true. This time, staying in room 205, I'm not sure why I couldn't get local TV channels (channels 1 and 3). BUT! If you want to be a 10-minute motorbike ride from the Siam shopping district, and close to essential places like Samyan and Chulalongkorn, then this hotel is absolutely my go-to (I've booked it twice already, and I'll probably book it again). And there are genuinely a few reasons why I might keep booking this hotel: First, I left my bracelet in the room when I checked out. I honestly thought it was a goner – everyone knows how things can be in Thailand, haha – but the front desk found it for me (and even some other tiny bits and bobs I'd forgotten about!). Second, the chicken congee at this hotel is SO good... It's so delicious that even though I never book rooms with breakfast, I've booked breakfast every time I've stayed here, and it's made me ditch my previous favorite hotel. This congee is genuinely better than the famous congee shop near Chula recommended on Xiaohongshu... And the iced Americano is excellent. The coffee beans here are even better than some paid coffee shops, saving me the cost of an iced Americano. Third, the hotel staff are genuinely very friendly and polite; there's no discriminatory attitude or difference in service.

The location is a bit far from the subway, but there are many massage parlors and snack shops nearby. The only downside is the traffic, otherwise, it's pretty good. The room has character.

This is a brand-new hotel located on Surawong Road, close to Silom and other luxury hotels. The Friday night live jazz and happy hour are definitely worth a mention! Breakfast was excellent. However, I felt there weren't enough staff; I had to wait half an hour for help with my luggage. Also, having the lobby on the eighth floor is a bit inconvenient.

The bathroom drain was very slow, so taking a shower felt like bathing in a flood. Since the hotel is newly opened, there was a strong smell. The breakfast selection was quite limited, and there were massage parlors all downstairs.
