Siam@siam Design Spa Hotel

A very new hotel which just started operation in the past 1 or 2 years, Siam@Siam is in my opinion a 5 star hotel priced at 4 star rate at the moment. This is due to the fact that its a very new hotel and is trying to build up its reputation and customer base. This is just an assumption I made but do not be alarmed if they do increase their hotel rates in the future.

The hotel is situated within close proximity to MBK and the National Stadium BTS. Other than that, there is not much worth mentioning around the hotel as it can get really quiet and lifeless come nighttime. However, I tend to focus more on the room and aesthetics when my friends do ask about the hotel.

The room is wonderful I must say. Probably the best hotel I stayed in Bangkok if you are talking about the design of the hotel and the rooms. Its very modernised and the colour scheme the hotel adopts is very refreshing. To me, its not a good thing because it makes you yearn to stay in the hotel rather than spending time outside where all the fun is. :p

Another point worth mentioning is the level of service the hotel staffs provide. Being a very new hotel, I think the management would have spent alot of effort in training their staffs to provide excellent customer service with a smile. Some may say this is the case in every hotels but I beg to differ. Or at least I think that the staffs at Siam@Siam really put in that extra effort and I could really sense the sincerity. I was very impressed.

Only drawback of the hotel is its location though. Even though its near MBK and BTS, the surroundings somewhat disappointed me. Like I mentioned above, not much stuffs to keep you interested around the hotel. By that I mean I would normally expect my hotel to be near eateries, night food stalls, convenience stalls and Thai massage parlours because that would save you time and energy to indulge yourself before ending the night. However, I am quite confident that as the hotel becomes more popular, all the other businesses around it will start to develop

My conclusion, I would choose this hotel for a trip solely meant to rejuvenate myself and that would mean if I anticipate myself spending alot of time in the hotel room and facilities like spa and swimming pool because they are really very good. However, if I am going to spend most of my time outside, its might be a waste to pay such good rates for a room to just rest over the night. Do take note of the fact that the price might increase in future if my assumption proves to be right.
