Room is new and clean, but a size is rather compact for Bangkok standard.
The location is NOT quite near to Makkasan. In fact, they have tuktuk service half hourly from 7am to 1830 pm. Information in the room says the service is available from 7 am to 7 pm but inaccurate.
If you intend to use public transportation while in Bangkok, this hotel may not be the choice, especially for ladies. You have to walk nearly 10 minutes on the road from MTR and AR station which is dark, a bit smelly and with a traffic. One of the ladies at the reception speaks rather arrogant English. I trust she does not meant it, but more training needs to be done. Breakfast is served on the 8th floor. View is not bad with reasonable choices and taste. They upgraded me to the premium floor. As you can't use the lounge, the only difference is espresso machine and located in the higher floor in return for low pressure in hot shower.
