SureStay by Best Western Bangkok Ramintra

it’s a large multi tower apartment building, part of a large gated complex of apartments and housing. The hotel is effectively uses a number of floors in the large tower as the hotel part. rooms are really part furnished duplex studio apartments - so there is a part completed kitchenette (no oven or burner) that has a fridge (of sorts) and a sink, kettle, but no cutlery/plates etc. if you are short stay, then you’ll use restaurant for brekkie and then either the same place in the evening or more likely other places when out and about. it’s located at a strange junction which means it’s impractical to walk places - unless adventurous like me - so taxi world. when using taxis they will have to approach the hotel twice - not a scam, it’s because you need to come off the main road and onto side road, which can’t be done until you pass hotel the first time… a new BTS will shortly be finished close by (2023) so this will make getting into central Bangkok a doddle. as it is, you have huge shopping and entertainment complex (fashion island) 5 mins in taxi (I walk in 12, but have to cross busy road and it’s very warm!). restaurant in the hotel was surprisingly good, though beer is v pricey compared to what you’d pay at local night market. Very large night market about 12-20mins taxi away (depends upon traffic) - Liab Duan - very much a place that locals use. there are a smattering of rough and ready cafes selling what my wife says is good authentic food, at very cheap prices.

The room was clean and spacious with all the basic facilities. There were two air-conditioners considering the size of the room. The location of the hotel is close to the airport and far from the city center. The nearest convenience store is 15 mins walk away.

The restaurant staff and chefs in the rosemary downstairs, were absolutely delightful! Really enjoyed our stay and added an extra night at reception. Great value for money, couple of minutes walk to 7eleven. All staff great, room huge for a family, kitchenette on the balcony with washing machine was good. Fine yourself a good taxi driver. Our airport pick up became our personal driver for all trips and was fantastic.

We liked the friendly and courteous receptionist. All were great. Our room was super comfortable too. Bus stand and metro are at a walkable distance. 7/11 just few steps away.

The venue is close to the competition venue and it has most of basic facilities available.
