| Nice room but VERY BAD SERVICE |
| Nice room but VERY BAD SERVICE. It seems a 4 star hotel, but it is a facade. A too big hotel (2 towers, >25 floors) which makes it uncomfortable for a stay. The Suite room is big and clean.
We arrived at 15:00 and our room was not ready, they were still cleaning. They made us wait for 15 minutes at reception without being asked whether we wanted anything to drink.
The receptionist wrote the wrong room number, so the baggage guy could not open our room. We waited again for him to get the correct room number. Later, one of the staff gave us wrong directions to the wrong swimming pool (there are 2).
Breakfast was OK. There was a cook making omelettes who disappeared and left a burning/smoking pan in the middle of the buffet.
The safe broke with our documents inside. Safes are cheap and break often (apparently hotel technician had to fix several during same morning). At 10:00 we asked the personnel to open our safe, they told us in 10 minutes the hotel technician would come to our room and fix it. Nobody came. At 10:45 we asked again and were told the technician was coming. Nobody came. At 11:15 I went to reception. They told me the technician was in our room. I phoned my partner, but the technician was not there. Finally at 11:30 the technician come and open the box.
The bad hotel service wasted 5 hours in total of our weekend in Bangkok (4 friends waiting in reception).
Summary: I have been to other 4 star hotels in Bangkok for similar price and better service. Go to any other than Prince Palace. Do not worry about location, taxis are inexpensive. |
