So ancient so old but good location
6.7
location : about 100 meters from entrance of sukhumvit soi 11.
as you arrive in ambassador hotel you are transported to old age. everything is old, ancient but still functional.
however if you purpose is fun and enjoyment and if you are in the age group of 18-40 and if you wish to stay in a cool and funky place, please avoid this hotel.
the staff is very experienced, very kind but all uncles and grandfather category. all ladies are motherly and kind. all the ambience is old, mellow and very rustic. old world charms??
i am not old so i would never know the meaning of old world charm. because everything is old, all the services are slow and laid back. slow but functional. even the lift looks old.
please avoid the main wing because you will have no view from the windows choose, insist and book tower wing for 2 guests.
the tower wing is a round shaped building which is probably 20 years old, is designed in such a way that all rooms have good privacy. the rooms are definitely large by modern standards and the view from higher floors is good.
the reception is large area because they probably expect you to wait. the staff is helpful but very curt. not their mistake with so many indian and people from indian subcontinent arriving and staying in this hotel. travelers arriving on shoe string budget , absolutely mannerless and pushy, impatient.
they harass the staff to a great extent. if you are next after a bad customer.. you will receive some "special treatment" from the hotel staff. perfectly understandable but perfectly annoying.
several group tours also arrive from same region, india, pakistan, srilanka etc. again very noisy and again mannerless. they dont bother about other peoples privacy.
avoid this hotel if you are from the rest of the world. for people from indian subcontinent, this is your 2nd home.
Hotel Feature Tip:
2 7-11 within 50 meters of each other.
Various food joints nearby.
Shopping, Massage, everything nearby and walking distance.

Great location in Suhumvit Area
Location and friendly staff
5.3
this hotel although is old but it's well maintained and kept. it is also situated in the suhumvit area and therefore has lots of shops and eateries. it's within easy reach to downtown bangkok such as silom and sathon areas. dressing is casual in sunny bangkok and this hotel does not discriminate its guest by the way they dress. very nice staff serving you day and night.

It's in party town, no doubt.
The party is all around you, if thats what you're looking for.
7
Its connected to a late night disco, and there is a lot of food / bars / clubs / trouble to get into all around you. If you are a group of guys going out for a party its a great location, families traveling with children probably should find a new location.
Nightlife Tip:
Attached night club is open until 6AM

we stayed in the tower, which was worth the extra few dollars, as the rooms are bigger and better than the standard wing where you feel just that (standard).
the location is the best part of this hotel, as it close to all the attractions of the area and the bts and about 4 stops from mbk.
this is the 3rd time in 12 months i have stayed at the ambassador, so they must be doing something right.
however, it is an old very large hotel over a sprawling complex which most of, is unused.
i like the bird cages and also the surrounding construction activities have ceased.
the buffet is also a winner if you are hungry

Good located hotel
location is almost perfect
7.7
we stay a weekend in this hotel, my friend and me, each one 1 room. very near good bars and nana plaza and soi cowboy. recommended hotel anytime any moment.
also very good in front of 7/11 and a supermarket.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
take taxi and negotiate the trip with 1 or 2 stops.
for example, go to sleeping buda and ask for bath + 1 stop (1 stop means, go to tailor or jewelry store), doesn’t matter if you buy or not, the taxi driver get his commission and you pay few for the long ride.
