Four Points by Sheraton, soi 15 Sukhumvit, BKK

This hotel has just been opened in December, 2010 and right now offering an introductory rate at THB1,999++ (room only - an extra THB500 incl. ABF). After trying several new hotels, my advice is "don't try new hotels when they are just opened since some construction work may still be yet to be completed and it's still a bit dusty. In general, the room is pretty good and the furniture and material used are of some good quality. However, the shower needs to be improved on the ground leveling as the water runs to the other side towards the door that floods the bath room.
1-4: the room. It's pretty spacious and the sound proof is good that those noise from busy motorbikes wouldn't be noticed.
5: the hotel entrance and it's just in between S15 and Dream Hotel on soi 15. Remarks, this hotel is humble to rate itself as 4 star, unlike the 2 hotels on its both sides who claim to be 5 stars. Finally I found out I really don't feel all right when walking in soi 15 Sukhumvit, not because of my last "bright light" experience in S15. It's simply my instinct uneasy feeling in walking on that soi. However, the hotel room I stayed even is just next to S15. It's very ok. Just that soi seems to be with some pressure from above and around.
6. the cafe.
7-9 the lobby area.
10. the swimming pool on the roof top.

so Soi 15 maybe a haunted soi, not just the S15 herself, scary!

Good that not too many nice restaurants on soi 15. We may skip this soi. I recall on Suk, there are some sois which are missed in the nos. (like 40 something?) or this one before it's missed?

This looks very nice to me. If this one in in Vegas it would cost $at least $350 US instead of $70 US.

The room and the hotel is pretty good and I think it will go up to around US$100 to 120 later.

$120 is still good price, it can go as much as $150 for a deluxe room, but the hotel hv to clean the air quality first ..

Stella said...

Yes TC is right. $120 US is still cheaper for this kind of room.

No wonder hotels in Thailand overall can win so many awards. US hotels really cannot compete. For the same kind of hotel quality, US is double or triple in price. This one would have priced $400 US easily.

Humm, I'd better write a letter to the hotel board in Thailand to tell them they shall raise the hotel price a bit. Even if they raise 50% they are still competitive.

I think as the USD is still going down, it's not necessary to write to the hotel industry in Thailand. :)
