"Dusit Princess is a newly renovated 5-star hotel. The lobby is grand and opulent, and the doormen are very friendly and professional. The Indian-descent lady at check-in was a bit perfunctory; a warmer welcome would have been nice. There are plenty of food options nearby, and a 7-Eleven, but no large shopping malls. It's not far from Jonker Street, but on a hot day, it's still a 10+ minute walk. The room was clean, the bedding was very comfortable, hot water was plentiful, and the water pressure was high (almost too high; don't turn the faucet on full blast, or water will splash). The air conditioning, in particular, was efficient, comfortable, and adjustable, making it one of the most comfortable air-conditioned rooms we've stayed in (though a basic fan noise is unavoidable). The hotel's Wi-Fi was excellent throughout, and the elevators were efficient. The gym was well-equipped (though a bit cramped), and the rooftop pool on the 9th floor offered good views and clean water, with both deep and children's sections. However, if you're looking to do some serious swimming, the pool might feel a bit small. Breakfast was quite extensive and international. We ate there for three consecutive days and found enough variety. While the taste wasn't particularly amazing, it was good enough, though some dishes were only lukewarm, which affected the texture. I personally enjoyed the fully deshelled spicy Lala and the green curry beef. The Laksa with 'rat's tail' noodles was also very good. Overall, the hotel is very comfortable and offers great value for money. Having listed the positives, here are some small suggestions for further improvement:
1) The edges of the connecting room doors (door frames) should be sealed with weatherstripping or silicone to improve sound insulation. On our first night, we could hear guests next door talking, but the window soundproofing was excellent and not an issue.
2) A blind or shade should be installed on the small window between the bathroom and bedroom to block light from the bathroom when needed, especially when family members sharing the room are sensitive to light and easily disturbed.
3) The breakfast was delicious, but some dishes were not hot enough.
4) Could the front desk provide local tourism information or brochures?"
