“Highly recommandable hotel in Bangkok”

Dream Bangkok

Jun 23, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

This is one of the best hotels I've been in Bangkok. Very convenient position (next to a Skytrain stop and the underground), in Suukhumvit, a lively and pleasant area of Bangkok.

Staff extremely friendly and welcoming, very nice and clean rooms that are a sort of "oasis" in the middle of chaotic Bangkok. The style of the hotel is particular but pleasant, rooms are modern and well equipped - comfortable beds, high speed wireless connection, well working air conditioning. I liked very much the blue lighting that gives a nice atmosphere.

It was really pleasant getting back to the hotel room after a day browsing around.

I will for sure choose again this hotel for my next trip to Bangkok.

“I am impressed.”

I booked this place through their website for deluxe room for 92$/per night which was a great deal.

The room was very large and quiet clean . But its layout was not that nice and the bed was hard so I did not feel comfortable at all.
The location of the hotel was good, close to Sukhumvit Road and just few blocks to the Dky train.

For the price this is a good choice overall.

“Great Hotel in a Good Location”

Dream Bangkok

4 of 5 stars
Philadelphia, PA
May 31, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

General:

I booked this hotel after reading reviews here on Tripadvisor. I was pleasantly surprised as this hotel is fantastic. We stayed in the junior suite room which was really spacious. We were there for 5 days in late May.

Location:

I found the location to be very convenient. I would recommend to quickly learn the BTS (skytrain)/MRT mass transit systems so your reliance on tuk tuks and taxis are minimal. The hotel is located on a small side street off of Sukumvit (Soi 15). It is in the middle between two BTS stops (Nana and Asok). We usually walked down tot he Nana station. There are a lot of restaurants and shops very close to the hotel on Sukumvit.

Room:

There were two big LCD TV's in the room, one in the bedroom the other in the living room. There was a DVD player in the room as well, didn't watch anything on it though as we were out of the room most of the time. The room itself was very well kept and clean. My only complaint would be that the bed was a little too on the firm side as most beds in Asia are. It certainly wasn't to the point where it was uncomfortable. The housekeeping service was very good and never breached the "do not disturb" status of my room.

Staff:

The front desk staff was very courteous, helpful and professional.

The bell boys have a walkie to summon taxis for you if needed.

Hotel amenities:

The hotel has a tour desk located at Dream 2 across the street from the original Dream. The tour desk can arrange private tours giving discounts on the number of people in your party. I took a tour to Ayutthaya via this tour desk, a bit pricey but I felt comfortable I would have a safe and pleasant experience which we did. It was 6400 baht for the two of us. A full day tour to Ayutthaya and the summer palace with thai buffet lunch.

The hotel has a Gym on the 10th floor, I didn't use it but I know they had one.

Tips:

Make sure you bring you key card folder with you with the address and map on the back as many taxi drivers didn't seem to know where this hotel was.

During rainy season some unscrupulous taxi drivers will try to jack up the fair. After I found this out I just waited out the rain and found a taxi after. The rains were almost daily but they were very short lived.

The taxi to/from the airport should be at most 250 baht including the 25 baht for the highway toll. The taxi driver I got at the airport to Dream charged me 600 baht. I found it best to insist on meter usage.

“Good Experience”

I found a great deal through Hotels.com for the Jr Suite at Dream for $120/nt. I read the reviews and decided to book it.

The hotel itself is about what you would expect from a boutique hotel experience. The Jr Suite room was nice. The living room area was large but the layout made it not very function. The bedroom was nice (bed was VERY hard) and bathroom was fantistic.

The location of the hotel was good. Only two blocks from Sukhumvit Road and a couple more blocks to the sky train.

Overall, very convenient hotel especially for the price.

“Suspicious at first but completely impressed”

Dream Bangkok

May 27, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

In short: loved the Dream - exceeded my expectations on every level. We had a standard room, and while a touch small it was perfectly fine for two people with gigantic suitcases and the bathroom size was perfect. As a little color, we last stayed at the Sheraton Grande on Sukhumvit (also great, but that was expected). Did not use the pool since we were running around most of the time so cannot comment on that. 5 mins walk to Asok skytrain and if you like going out, there are tons of spots in the area - Q Bar, Bed Supperclub, and Scratch Dog if you want a real Thai experience. Also a short hop to all the megamalls of BKK.

Don't get turned off by the optional blue lights and somewhat kitschy decor, which actually looks pretty cool in person despite some of the traveler pics that are posted (these initially put me off big time). The Dream was extremely nice, comfortable and clean. Despite some other postings, the beds were king-sized and super comfy - and I am extremely particular about mattress quality both at home and on the road (so midrange hotels in Europe are basically a nightmare for me...). The staff was genuinely very friendly, always cheery and willing to help at all times.

For the price we paid (80USD/night inc. tax+svc no breakfast), the Dream was an amazing value. Do not hesitate to book here. I initially wanted to stay at the Conrad but figured I should save that for a business trip and I have absolutely no regrets.
