The Connex Asoke

War alles Besten

Near to asoke bts and met station, terminal 21 shopping mall

Hotel is relatively new but already showing signs of aging and wear and tear. Checked in on a Saturday. Left room at 7:30am on Sun after flipping signage to make up room. To my greatest horror, when I return back at 1:30pm room is still not clean. And signages on all rooms on the same still says "please make up room". Cleaner on strike? When I told reception, there was no apology except ok, I'll get someone to clean it. The next day, room was clean but shower cream dispenser was not topped up. I tolerated it again. On Tue, a day before I checked out, the room could not be locked. And it wasted me at least 30 mins before they got it fixed. If you were me, would you stat there again? I think the answer is obvious.

Great location, within 2 minutes walk to Terminal 21 & Sukhumvit/Asoke interchange. Friendly service and the condition is quite new. However, it's quite noisy as it's location on a major busy road. Overall, it's worth it.

It's an excellent place. I've read some mixed reviews after I booked but before I arrived, and many points are valid, but they shouldn't be taken out of perspective. The hotel is where the MRT meets the BTS Sukhumvit Line, and there are 2 x 4-lane roads crossing there too. The area is busy, there is noise, but the earlplugs the hotel provides are good quality and help a lot. I stayed in a superior room - though still well-priced, and it was clean, spacious, with a comfortable bed. Bathtub in the bathroom, water pressure was good, and the wifi was very reliable during the day. In the evenings it was a bit slower. What I appreciated was that the air conditioner was positioned in a way that it didn't blow the cold on the bed, which is not the case in many other hotels. Staff were kind and helpful, they spoke good English, and the breakfast coffee was excellent. I have only good things to say about this place. There are only local channels on the TV, but an HDMI (my own) connected to my laptop helped. They provide slippers, though the ones I brought were slightly more comfortable.

This hotel is a conundrum. Upon arrival one sees a spectacular modern design, rooms with breathtaking views of the Asoke intersection in the heart of Sukhumvit and a charming and helpful check in by attractive youngsters. BUT thereafter it is only downhill.... I believe the problem is that the new owner has no idea how to run a hotel or has no money left after the purchase to pay for competent staff. One feels bad criticising the young people working who really try their best to be helpful..... But they are amateurs when professionals are needed. The cleaning of the rooms is a shambles... A lottery as to whether its cleaned or not.... And the standard of the cleaning when done is bad.... Laundry sent comes back with pieces missing.... The aircon smells as though there is a dead rat inside somewhere... And there is no repair..... Did you ever have a hotel include breakfast but then give neither coffee nor tea and then charge you practically the full breakfast price if you order a beverage!.... And God forbid that you order food when someone else is doing the same... You may have to wait 45minutes to get served! There are just no systems in place to make things run properly and a well meaning manageress who has no idea what she is doing. A great position with a great building "look".. To be avoided at all costs.

One negative thing was they had no TV-channels in English. Besides that a very good hotel. New, good food and excellent stay. I'd stay there again.

Hotel is very new in a great location. The staff are friendly, rooms are clean, good shower and reliable internet.
