Swiss Lodge Hotel, Bangkok

The Swiss Lodge is our premier choice during frequent visits to Bangkok. It is well positioned for the metro and sky train and the surrounding streets hold many good restaurants. The rooms are ample and clean, very well presented. The pool is adequate but management should remember to provide some shade - it does get hot in the sun! The negative - we now laugh at it - is the total lack of English among the catering staff. On the day of our arrival we ordered room service to be informed that beef burgers were not available, nor the club sandwich, nor the steak sandwich and so it continued. We did manage to put in an order and then waited, and waited and waited. Finally we went to investigate and found that the kitchen had forgotten the room number we had given. One hour later we were delivered our original request - stone cold. Not really good enough and very similar to our previous experience and management should get its finger out. The front desk are helpful and polite.

I've stayed at the Swiss Lodge a dozen times in the past years and always find it predictable (in a good way). Rooms are clean, front desk staff are helpful, and the bellman remembers me from previous visits. Free wi-fi is a plus, but the tiny pool and lack of a gym are minuses. It's in the heart of the gay area so there are plenty of gay couples who choose to stay there. They've remodeled the restaurant, but I've yet to have a good breakfast there. On a three night stay, I only ate there once.

We arrived to a good and friendly reception and your Agoda voucher was readily accepted. In a few minutes we were in our room. Room was clean and had most of the necessary amenities.Hotel Location is good..close to Shopping at Central and Pat Pong for entertainment. Train stations were close. We had dinner one night at the restaurant and I tell you, I should have just walked out to the nearby resturants. The Tom Yam and Thai noodles were below par. I love Thai food
