Wow - I had a very pleasant stay of 7 nights at Adelphi Suites on Sukhumvit soi 8 in Bkk!
On the sunny side:
- very friendly personnel, very helpful
- clean, modern, large, well-furnished rooms with big TV, DVD/CD player, small kitchen, etc.
- nice clean bathroom
- there is a pool, although small, it is good for refreshment
- gym
- breakfast included, the breakfast is more than adequate. The choice is not as huge as at those giant hotel buffets, but everything one could wish for is provided: eggs scrambled, fired or cooked, toasts, butter, jelly, joghurt, fruits, juices, cereals, etc.
- guest friendly: it is possible to bring guests to your room, the front desk will keep for you their ID(s) - one or several :-)
- very close to nana skytrain station
- very close to the Sukhumvit nightlife (Nana Plaza, Soi Cowboy is not far away either)
- free internet access everywhere: there is wireless access throughout the hotel and the lobby. In the room the signal can be weaker, but in each room is also a CAT5 ethernet connection (bring your own patch cable or buy one there). The front desk will provide you with login data.
The negatives / possible improvements:
Adelphi Suites gets best marks from me in everything, but as a nitpicker, I can always find some details I am not happy with. Please understand the following points as minor potential improvements:
- The Aircon in my room (#503) was noisy, far from what I had in other hotels where it was barely audible. It was really annoying in the first night, but then I got used to it and it didn't bother me anymore.
- The bathroom often got smelly. This is not unusual in Bangkok, where one is often confronted with stenches of different origin, but it seems the drains are not equipped with inverted syphon traps, so that bad odors can occur.
- Mold: I rate the bathroom as being overall very clean. In some corners, black mold is beginning to set in. Note to the manager: this can be easily fixed by regularly (every moths or so) spraying some 2.5% concentration chlorine on these spots. The mold will lose its black color and will not be able to reestablish itself there for a long time.
- Again the bathroom: the door of the shower is not closing properly
I was very happy to stay at Adelphi Suites, I would like to thank the Management and the Personnel for the nice experience. I am dying to come back to BKK and Adelphi Suites.
