Rama Gardens Hotel, Bangkok

We stayed here for two nights just to get a break for our trip. The place is forgettable except for the wonderful garden that they do have with a decent pool for children. The breakfast was fine, the staff was fine and the room was clean and a little dated. Unless you want to use the pool, I would recommend the Amari Airport instead for a better value.

our room was not cleaned adequately.i lifted the lid on the toilet and it was disgusting. they had coffee cups and hot water with no coffee. chairs were old and needed replacing years ago. would not stay there again

The service is very good. The cable was broken in my room, and when I phoned the reception desk, some one from business center came to my room within a couple of minutes and tried to fix the problem.

The facilities are second to none, we particularly enjoyed the pool and fitness complex. The rooms are comfortable and very well cared for, they installed new Samsung Flat-Screen TVs in the rooms while we were there. The food at the breakfast buffet and the evening buffet is quite good, plus many other good restaurant options within the hotel itself.

Agoda and Miki Travel should be admonished for even offering this hotel. I have travelled to Thailand five times in seven years and this is undoubtedly the most unfriendly place I have ever stayed in Thailand. It is analgous to the beautiful woman with a hard cold heart. At first sight it appears very pleasant but from the moment we entered the un-air-conditioned lobby I felt a strange sense of discomfort with Rama Gardens. In Thai "Rama" refers to Kinglike. This place reflects an heir of superiority and unfriendliness. It would do well to learn from the common people of Thailand who are very warm and friendly. I booked it with Agoda/Miki for four nights but accepted a one night penalty of $85 US to cancel the last three nights to get out of this place. The breakfast was below standards also. We ordered room service and the food was cold and stale and of course overpriced. Enough said.

The hotel is indeed a resort style setup with many nice sporting facilities. Although I was a bit dissapointed that for the use of the tenis courts the guests are expected to pay for their use. The swimmingpool is a very nice design, with a cery nice bar in it. The rooms are beautifully decorated and the reataurants offer every fare immaginable at a very reasonable price (buffet at 412 Baht, absolutely worth it!)

An array or restaurants to satisfy most tastes including French, Japanese, Thai, Italian, Chinese and international cuisine. The Japanese and Chinese are particularly good. Breakfast buffet is expansive and impressive. Deals offered on Agoda make this an attractive option on the outskirts of Bangkok.

I chose this hotel because I had a business at further north of Dong Muang. In the morning, my taxi had to go south first along the congested road toward the central Bangkok.
