Staff not motivated, building site, 1 hour from center of Bangkok!
Only added value is the view on the river, but than you must reserve (more expensive)river view room. Too big massive unpersonal building. Stylish groundfloor. So stylish they do not allow guests to sit in the lobby with a small back pack. Rooms are old and absolutely not stylish at all. They are renovating, and this (noise producing) work does not stop during night hours. It takes 1 hour (roadwork in the area) to get to the "center" of Bangkok (e.g. MBK Center), and in rush hour even 2. That means IF you can find a taxi who knows the hotel and who does not refuse to take you there. Front office staff who's English is very poor. We had arranged a later check out time at a certain rate, but were all of a sudden 'kicked out' of the room in a very cold and irritating way telling us we had to pay a whole night extra for the room, knowing nothing about any other agreement. Been to Bangkok many times and can assure you there are many better hotels with better staff on a much better location!

Building site
Visited this hotel in October 2005 and had booked 6 nights in a Thai Suite but only stayed one night. The room was fine but the hotel is one massive building site with work going on from 8 am to midnight. There was drilling and banging on the floor below us and the hotel refused to stop work at a reasonable time. I would not visit this hotel for a good few months if you want to be able to sleep at night.
