I spent 4 nights as a solo traveller on business... Though not practical to book so far from city, I decided to make it work, and it worked perfectly, providing peace and tranquility at the end of the day's work. Convenience is a modern day trap and I thought to break that cycle.. The hotel shuttle is perfectly adequate and there is also BTS which travels every hour for only 30bht. It is definitely worth using this, even once, despite being longer, I felt like I was travelling - it takes a longer route, stops along the way but not unpleasant..this has to be booked but a great service that wasn't made known until I asked for alernatives to hotel shuttle.. The hotel staff, the gardens, the pool area are truly lovely.. Not sure what type of person wouldn't appreciate the effort that has gone into creating this lovely environment... Issues are minor - mattress is too hard for me - personal preference though - I like a firm mattress but it must give just that little bit.. I thought the breakfast menu could offer separate items as not everyone needs a whole buffet - having said that, they accommodated me gladly and adjusted the price... All in all, one of the very best hotels I've stayed in..and I'll definitely book it again..
