I have been visiting Bangkok since 1992, my favourite place in the world. I'm now lucky enough to live in Thailand and visit Bangkok once, sometimes twice a month, for a 3 or 4 night break. Was recommended to the Night Hotel and have stayed here about 6 times in the past few months. I normally stick to the same hotel if I like it (unless rates for when want to go get silly).
First stay was in the Gold Suite, and I absolutely loved it. Very impressed with some of the touches and useability of the room, especially dimmer lighting, numerous charging points, fact shower doesn't flood the floor as it is correctly designed (you'd be amazed how many hotels in Thailand have flooding issues), and many other small touches. The light switches do get a bit confusing though, as there are so many of them ! Air con was quiet and curtains kept the light out. This room has a separate living area, and if I'm being honest, this space was a bit depressing, as nothing much on the walls and the sofa in one end didn't face the tv ... so bad use of space, although not sure what the solution would be.
Second stay, I booked the cheapest room as it was only 2 nights. The cheaper rooms are located in building one (where the breakfast is). For the price it was excellent, just a little bit less plush than other rooms, not quite as well apoointed and maybe a bit older. One complaint ... I had a room next to housekeeping area .... why do they have to shout when talking to each other in the corridors ... sound echos, and both mornings I was woken by noise housekeeping outside my room at "too early a time".
Breakfasts are good, obviously not 5 star standard, but as good, or slightly better, than most hotels of this class. Seating is comfortable and staff friendly.
I'm giving this hotel 5 stars .... I love it. I think it represents good value for money, the check in staff are nearly all the most friendly and welcoming I have ever had in Bangkok (and that's a lot), and that sets you up for a good mood in your stay. I also think this hotel is a bit different or quirky, and I love managements reply to some reviews, as it's refreshing to read the real facts, as some reviewers are clearly rude and ignorant.
Just to balance, because a good hotel should always look to improve. I think housekeeping could do better ... issues I've had .... empty used water bottle on table first stay, flooding on floor in bedroom driving me mad (I thought was from bath but couldn't see where it was coming from), turned out housekeeping hadn't closed fridge in the cuoboard properly and water was coming from there. Have had hairs in the bath twice, dirty orange type water in bath once (because not used and should be run through by housekeeping, otherwise water goes funny from the pipes) and sadly worst of all, sheets dirty from a bloodied dead insect with other stains ... I don't think bedbugs ... but something. This shouldn't really happen in a hotel of this class. Lastly, I'm reading a lot of reviews here from guests angry about deposits being kept. I never had an issue until my last stay. My water fell off the side table onto the bed, no cleaning issues as bedding would be cleaned anyway, but the manner in which this was handled was a bit off. He asked me "what is it" .. suggesting I had suffered from a personal accident ... this was embarrassing. I wasn't charged, hopefully because they know I am a regular guest, but reading your other reviews regarding deposits being kept, I think it would be advisable to review the tipping point in which front desk seem to want to justify charging .... it is a hotel and wear and tear in everyday use will happen. As I said, excellent in nearly everything, but housekeeping could be improved and I'm attaching photos of issues to help you guys, not complain and to demonstrate accuracy.
Finally, the white tiger in reception is the star of the show .... love it.
