My daughter took me to Bangkok for a holiday from 17th to 20th June 2024 and we chose The Rose Residence to stay at. Needless to say, it wasn't a decision we regretted in the least bit. I will add the one thing that could be improved and that is the presence at the reception, which was lacking just very few times. Other than that, the fabulous suite we stayed in and the in house restaurant Ruen Urai more than made up for any small mistakes. Though I have to say that the staff whenever we met them were very friendly and polite and helpful.
The hotel is hemmed in by buildings which keeps it away from the sound of traffic a lane away.
The hotel foyer is breathtakingly beautiful with beautiful flower arrangements.
The swimming pool in a cosy nook was an absolute delight for my daughter who swam almost everyday we were there.
The Ruen Urai restaurant merits a review of its own. I have noted down whatever we ate. I loved the food there. Just rightly spiced and so clean and hygienic. The prices were fairly reasonable.
There's a lift so that was comfortable as we were on the 2nd floor, I think
The suite was lovely with its dark wood flooring, beautiful furniture- sofas, desk, sideboard, small dining table and its comfortable bed with soft duvet and fluffy pillows. The welcome arrangements of hand towels on the bed and in the bathroom were exquisite. Though our room faced another building, our nice, heavy curtains ensured privacy.
The bathrooms were equipped with a good shower in a cubicle and amenities such as one would expect in a good 3 to 5 star hotel, such as clean bath linen, liquid soap, shower gel, shampoo, toilet paper. A health faucet was a handy addition which I, as an Indian, really appreciated.
There was a small kitchenette with a sink and enough crockery and silver for two.A coffee maker was a handy addition.There was a fridge to keep our food and drinks cool. Before we left a brand-new microwave was added to our kitchen. There's the customary tea, milk and sugar sachets, though we did need to remind for daily replenishments. An electric kettle for warming the water was an essential provided.
The suite's AC control panels were state-of-the-art. There's a safe in the room. And the wardrobes were stylish and made of rich wood.
The icing on the cake for us was meeting the down-to-earth, affable and gracious owner, Mr Mickey Pierce, who impressed us with his humble down-to-earth approach and gave us a sumptuous complimentary breakfast just before we checked out. We were pleasantly surprised to learn that his real name is an Indian one, Manoj. And that his mother's name is Indian too, - Rajni. Lovely to see evidence of India's and Thailand's close ties.
I have to say, coming back to the cosy luxury of our suite in the Rose Residence was something we yearned for at the end of a tiring day of sight-seeing.
It will probably always be Rose Residence for me if I ever come back to Bangkok. Its central location, close to malls and the bustling Pat Pong Night market ( where shopping bargains are to be had with yummy street food, amongst other things) made it the right choice.
The Rose Residence. A lovely name for a lovely place.
P. S. Didn't know there were 2 pools- a rooftop pool as well. Just read that in other reviews. We just used the pool besides the restaurant and that was good enough for us.
