I stayed three nights at the Amari in early March.

Not having been to Bangkok before we thought we would try the Amari based on its hotel class combined with reasonable price. In general this is an ok hotel. I don't have any substantive grumbles (although its close proximity to Bangkok's seedier areas of town would probably top the list) but I don't think it has a real "wow" factor. If looking for a clean and comfortable hotel at a reasonable price, this is probably for you. That being said, if I were to return to Bangkok I would probably look to stay along the river.

We arrived at the hotel using one of the airport shuttle buses (the A3 I think) and whilst it did drop us off on sukhumvit road near the hotel, we were on the wrong side of it. To cross the road was a logistical nightmare - up and down steps/escalator to reach the skytrain level - not easy with heavy suitcases. If I were to do it again, I'd take a taxi (which we did on the way back). This would definitely been a faster and nicer experience (although admittedly slightly more expensive).

A warm and friendly welcome greeted us but unfortunately the non-smoking double room we had requested did not. We could have a non-smoking twin or a smoking double. We looked at the smoking double but soon rang reception requesting to change room as it smelt very strongly of smoke. The change to a non-smoking twin was quick and significantly better.

Decor wise the room was a little tired but it did have all the facilities you would expect - including free water on a daily basis.

We went to the Thai restaurant on the roof which was expensive but quite pleasant. As this was the start of our Thailand trip we later found out that you could get just as tasty food for less than half the price at street level!

We also visited the buffet which was a much more reasonable affair in terms of price and equally as tasty. We would definitely recommend this for those on a tighter budget.

Overall, this was a clean, friendly and centrally located hotel.
Plus sides: warm service and close proximity to Nana station and transport links. Down sides: average (rather than excellent)facilities and poor location if you want to avoid the sex industry of Bangkok.

Good location on Soi 5, off Sukhumvit road.
Right opposite cheap restaurant in Food supermarket, good bars on opposite side of Sukhumvit road. Nana station on Skytrain is 1 minute walk away.
Having stayed at the more expensive Landmark and Marriott, this is much better for money for a similar standard.
The staff are very helpful, and we were given a free upgrade as our room was booked up.

Wanted to stay in a really nice hotel after a 10 hour flight to Bangkok from London, and this place fitted the bill.

I got a great deal on Expedia (£43 per night) and was really pleased with the location, right in the heart of Sukhumvit's busy night-life and close to BTS (sky train) and MRT (metro) stations.

Rooms were a good size and very nice, with great bathrooms, and although the pool area was a little smaller than i'd imagined, it was a really nice space, with lots of plants and a luxurious feel.

My only complaint is that on the way back through Bangkok, on-route to Cambodia, I wanted to stay there again - however, the walk-in price was about £30-£40 more than the internet rate! So i went somewhere cheaper!

Rather spacious rooms, ours on the sixth floor with a small balcony overlooking the poolarea. The bathroom was ok, pretty outdated but still fresh and clean. The room in general was clean, nicely decorataed and the bed was not not rock solid for once. The pool and the pool area area was rather small but very sufficient with points for the nice service with refreshments.

Why I would most definitively recommend this hotel though is because of the excellent location, fantastic breakfast and very welcoming service. The hotel is located very close to the BTS, you won't even break a sweat walking there. And the neighbourhood is pretty nice to with some shops, bars and restaurants, market stands and a supermarket very conveniently just across the street. So, I would absolutely return to this hotel next time I go to Bangkok. I have stayed at more luxurious resorts for approximately the same price, but nothing will beat Amari Boulevard when it comes to the location and all this said it’s a very nice looking hotel …once you are on the inside!
