This was our first trip to Thailand for my wife and I and had great expectations of relaxation and value for money. Everything went well arriving at the airport, immigration, the hotel car to the hotel and the room. We couldn’t fault anything; we arrived on an early flight and we’re able to check in at no extra cost as the room was ready. In the evening we toured the local area and restaurants and where still not disappointed. Breakfast the next morning was nicely located on the second or mezzanine floor with the choice of eating inside or out and the food was nice and plentiful. The swimming pool and area is not huge but sufficient with no towels left on the sun beds as reservation for later in the day. It's the first time I have been in a pool where you can listen to music whilst under water. Then it starts going down hill. We decided to go on a trip and the concierge took my wife to a travel agent in a tut-tut to book a tour of the river in the afternoon. On our return having enjoyed the trip we went to the hotel promoted James the Tailor and felt I was completely ripped off and would have been better using one locally. When we left the hotel we asked the porter to get us a metered taxi to the airport which he eventually did as the first two where not, but obviously his associates. Overall the hotel was good and I would stay there again if I ever went to Bangkok again. The next hotel we stayed in was the Lebua at State Tower.

I posted a review last year under the heading"hot and humid solitaire" detailing my dissatisfaction with the air con on the upper penthouse floors. I decided to stay again anyway for the months of Jan thru March(2008) and am happy to report they seem to have addressed the problem and all is well. The staff has gone out of its way to see to it my stay is a first class experience and they even made a point of giving me a birthday cake on my birthday(they noticed the date on my passport) which I found very thoughtful. Also I'd like to acknowledge that the in house restaurant has superlative fare at prices very competitive if not better than other restaurants in the neighborhood. The rooms are spacious and very reasonably priced and the hotels proximity to local nightspots(Bed Supperclub, Q Bar etc)can't be beat. Soi 11 off Sukhumvit is buzzing with activity and the locale is becoming a mecca of sorts. Also if you're doing medical tourism world famous Bumrungrad Hospital is just down the block.I hope to stay here on future trips. bones54(JP)

We were enjoying this excellent hotel staying 4 nights in its Solitaire suite, which was a high class level. It is within walking distance of Sukhumvit road where you can find all kinds of restaurants, shops and there is a night market, as well.
The room is very spacious and beautiful and it has its separate living area with a kitchen. The stuff were nice and professional and the braekfast was very good. We would recommend this hotel to everyone.
Ananda spa is a beautiful place and they are very professional. Try traditional thai massage.
I only don't suggest to pick up the taxi's which are waiting in front of the hot

I have stayed at The President Solitaire many times and love this hotel. Staff are very friendly and professional and the rooms are excellent. Location is also good. Soi 11 has many good restaurants and getting to the sky train is easy. Also feel very safe in the area.
For the price cannot be beat in Bangkok.
I travel a lot for both business and pleasure and highly recommend this hotel.
