Been back to the Furama in Silom/Sathorn - not to be confused with the Furama Silom, on Silom road which have been newly reopened.
Whilst i did have a couple of admin hiccups - i asked for a higher room north facing, and got a slightly lower room south facing - but to an upgraded room. Asked to be down graded 2 nights into 6 night stay as lower rooms have a shower - which i prefer.
Good to note that with the airport skytrain operating, it took me and my baggage 55mins from hotel door, to walk to Chong nonsi, change at Siam, off BTS at Phaya Thai onto Sky train and into Airport. This cost me the astronomivcal sum of 80thb. or U$2.50.
This was leaving the hotel at 4.45pm into rush hour, cannot do that in a a taxi fro 400thb.
Hotel is always good, staff are helpful, breakfast is simple, but more than adequate prices are slightly up on what i have paid before, but i nearly missed out on paying U$29 per night on expedia.
Whilst on the subject of Expedia, their policy of informing you at the last minute of a price change, inevitably upwards is frustrating and tantamount to bait and switch.
back to the hotel - they still offer a 'happy hour of free beer or juice for guests from6 - 7pm, nice touch and great way to end a hectic business day and get into the nightlife mode.
Will be back again.
