Saladang Place

Frequently travelling to Bkk and always stay close to Silom road to have as close as possible to work. For my first stay in Saladeng Place I say "fair value for money". Location good for both tourist and business traveller. Great view from most levels. Large room in appartment style having all utensils needed. Facility a little bit old fashioned styled but I don't mind as long as it's clean. Saladeng Pl gives no reason for complaints. AND, important to me, nice breakfast with omelette chef fixing egg and bacon on order.

I've written in defense of Saladaeng Place in the past, and used to stay there quite faithfully every visit. Eventually, the on-going deterioration of facilities and the rise in room rates make this a less and less competitive choice. Management seem to think that location is everything. Location is a lot, but no longer enough to justify the price and the shoddy facilities. While other properties are offering free WiFi, better breakfasts, and more reliable utilities at lower prices, it is very hard to recommend Saladaeng Place.

From the moment of arrival, we felt at home as the front office manager came to welcome us at our taxi. His friendly and helpful manner was shared by all the staff we came in contact with during our visit. This hotel is really a serviced apartment. The clean rooms are large and well equipped with all the expected facilities, and there is also a small kitchen area. There is a breakfast buffet on the 8th floor, which also has a small swimming pool on a roof terrace. There is no restaurant, but this does not matter as there are many good places to eat in the vicinity. Situated on Saladang Road, near the major intersection of Silom Road and Rama IV Road in the central business district of Bangkok, the hotel is a neighbour to the more expensive international style Dusit Thani hotel. The skytrain (Saladang Station) and Underground (Silom Station) are nearby, making the hotel an excellent starting point for many trips. Our room was service promptly and well every day, the breakfast buffet changed daily and included both Asian and Western food, and wireless internet access was available and reliable (small extra charge). We were not looking for the luxury and facilities of an international 4 star chain hotel, but rather for a home-from-home, so Saladang Place provided exactly what we needed. I have stayed here several times and it is now my first choice for Bangkok. I
