Bruce George Beattie 2009-11-15	Avana Hotel & Residence, Airport - nearby Suvarnabhumi This was the second time I have used the Avana Hotel. My wife and I chose the hotel for its close proximity to her cousin s apartment in Bang Na. The first time, I tried booking it online but it did not work. I had to book it through the hotel and they stuck me with a Dynamic Currency Conversion (or DCC). Even though I told them 4 times I wanted the room charged in Thai Baht (and they assured me it was), it wasn t! I paid an extra 4% on top of what my Credit Union charged on my Card. I also asked for a manager and they wouldn t call him/her to front desk. Even though they were friendly, they would not work with us (my wife is Thai; no language barrier here). Thanks Avana (NOT)! The second time (yes, we gave Avana a second chance), I booked the hotel with Sawadee.com and was charged in Thai Baht, removing any problems that the Avana could cause with a DCC. They informed us that the WiFi (which was free the first time) was extra this time. We paid since I needed to be in contact with my business in the United States. The hotel is 25-30 minutes to and from the airport as well as 20-30 minutes driving to Central Mall (but only 5 minutes back). The breakfast buffet was not very good, in fact, very bland. The room was clean, yet unspectacular (you get what you pay for). Would I go back, not sure. I would definitely look at other options in area before choosing this hotel again.	Sawadee.com was very efficient in booking the hotel. No problems at all. I would recommend others to use this site for Thailand reservations.
Zoe Griffin 2009-06-16	Avana Hotel & Residence, Airport - nearby Suvarnabhumi The hotel staff were very welcoming and helpful and my standard room was very big, clean and comfortable. The airport pick up service was also great, with a friendly face waiting to pick me up from the airport making it a very stress free stay in Bangkok.	Easy to use and efficient.
Anthony Mccartney 2009-06-13	Avana Hotel & Residence, Airport - nearby Suvarnabhumi this hotel is a long way from the airport!!! its a very nice hotel but it takes about 50 mins during the day & 25 mins at 5am with no traffic to get to airport.	excellent as always.
Michelle johnson 2009-04-03	Avana Hotel & Residence, Airport - nearby Suvarnabhumi You get what you pay for. It Just makes it as an over night hotel it is very worn halls are pretty dark and dingey and the carpet in our room was pretty sticky?? beds were Ok bu must admit to checking sheets etc to see if clean - They were however I have not had the urge to do this before. It is about a 30- 40 minute drive from Airport to hotel. To get to the central shopping centre it is definately a drive. Would I go back - probably not as it was not as close to the airport as I would have liked.	Fantastic as always

ilona ewa loewnau 2009-03-10	Avana Hotel & Residence, Airport - nearby Suvarnabhumi We had deluxe room with small balcony on the 18th floor with spectacular view at night onto the city. Hotel located just 25 minutes from the new airport, meter taxi around 300 bat. Room was spacious, well air conditioned with complimentary snacks and water. Bathroom equiped in shampoo, shower gel, tooth paste and tooth brush. we had a lovely meal in the restaurant with a view on the swimming pool that looked beatuiful all lighten up at night. Breakfats in the morning was buffet type, opened from 6.30 so if you have flight at around this time you may want to speak to room service and arrange a packed meal with them maybe. I choose the room as it was a last night of our stay in Bangkok and it was very handy for our morning flight.	Very good as usual

Joseph Cameron 2009-02-10	Avana Hotel & Residence, Airport - nearby Suvarnabhumi My stay at the Avana was wonderful. For the price, it was a top hotel...the rooms were very comfortable, clean, and the view from the room overlooking Bangkok was great. The staff were very polite and spoke English, the cleaning staff did a great job, and the food was excellent. The breakfast was always very good.	It was very easy to book online, there were no problems, and the pricing was excellent.
David West 2009-01-29	Avana Hotel & Residence, Airport - nearby Suvarnabhumi A clean tidy hotel with good service. Good value and if you need somewhere in Bangna-Bitec area this is OK.	Very good, prompt as usual
Bodil Timmermann 2009-01-29	Avana Hotel & Residence, Airport - nearby Suvarnabhumi We found it to be a nice hotel. The breakfast was something we never seen before!! It was more like luch buffé. The staff was nice and helpful, we have never before had our glases of beer being filled when they were almost emtpy,and then the waiter went backwards to his position,thereby never turning his back to us!!! We would say that this more or less a stopover hotel, due to fact that the neighbourhood is not all that great and it is a long way a way from the city center.	Nice,safe and fast as we found it to be with every hotel that booked through Sawadee.
