Hotel review: Park Plaza soi 18, Sukhumvit BKK

This hotel is under the "real" chain of Carlson group (covering Radisson/Country Inn too). Please don't mix this up with those having the same names once in Singapore and actually those so-called Park Plaza in Singapore have renamed themselves. I wish that Excelsior and Peninsula in Singapore also got aware of that and changed their names too. However, Funny that in coincidence today I came to realise in Singapore there is no "moral right" - a right to protect the copyright creator as the creator's name and the integrity of his/her copyright creation. Anyway, it's now cleared this is the real Park Plaza landed Bangkok, and this one has just been 3 months old.
On the first night, a serious mistake happened. When I was back to the hotel room, the door was half opened. Then I called up the front desk for a complaint. Fortunately it is at the end corner's room. Nothing was lost. There I was offered for free breakfast and room change. I chose the latter one. The room itself is quite nice with everything needed. The bed is so good that I can sleep all the way til the next morning. Even when I woke up in the middle of the night, I can fall back asleep right away. Internet connection is fast so that I save a lot of time for my work. However, on the 6th floor, the water pressure is a problem, quite unstable.
1/2: Superior room. 3. Equipped with USB charger. 4-6. Deluxe room. 7. Corridor. 8/9. the restaurant. 10-15. Swimming pool, jacuzzi, gym, rooftop bar area. 16-18. the reception lobby. 19. the hotel is about 3-5 minute walk to Sukhumvit main road and 8 minute walk to Asoke BTS/MRT.

aiya u should postpone this post until Sept, now someone may ask to stay here

after u post Renaissance Bangkok, someone keep requesting for that ..

actually, someone insist to stay at MO is because of u too, after ur post (few years ago), she felt interested since then *_*

also because of ur post, she feels great interest in pool villa of which is not her life-style at all, too bad Bangkok doesn't hv any poll villa .. lalala

i think she already treated the MO children pool her pool villa!

and ur negative comment on Siam Kempinski made her given up this (suppose-to-be) 6-star hotel ..

u hv the power!

Both this one and Column are good.
Cannot believe they are below $100 US.

... the best in suk 18, among all the other 4 as Rembrant, Oakwood and the hostel inside the soi or probably Windsor Suites though it's main entrance is on soi 20.
