Greg Phillips 2009-08-08	Sofitel Centara Grand Bangkok, Phaholyothin Road - Chatuchak We spent two nights here in Aug 09. Room was a little dated but we received an excellent rate from Sawadee of AUD$113 incl breakfast so no complaints from us. Gym is excellent, can recommend this. Swimming pool is in a very nice oasis garden but needs a good clean and the area around it needs sweeping. Usual charge for internet access which was a nuisance. Shuttle bus service to Chidlom and Silom shopping centres and also to the famous weekend markets. Central Shopping Centre close to the close, within walking distance. Breakfast good, western and asian dishes.	Good booking although we did think we qualified for the Sofitel Inspired package as we stayed during this period. Website should be changed to ensure that Special Rate guests do not qualify for this package.
Peter Ensor 2009-01-15	Sofitel Centara Grand Bangkok, Phaholyothin Road - Chatuchak Great priced rooms on Sawadee.com Sofitel upgraded me to a bigger room free of charge on arrival too. It s a little out of the way for most of the tourist spots but the skytrain was only a short cab ride away. The choice of food at the restaurants was great too. Room well exceeded my expectations.
Joe Summers 2008-12-28	Sofitel Centara Grand Bangkok, Phaholyothin Road - Chatuchak Very nice hotel. Enjoyed my stay immensely.	Sawadee.com is and has always been a great way to book hotels.
Mr.Andrew Henderson and Ms.Mantana Monkh 2008-08-16 until 2008-08-18	Sofitel Centara Grand Bangkok, Phaholyothin Road - Chatuchak If you go to Bangkok, whatever you do dont stay at the Sofitel Centara. Ill tell you why...its made of the same concrete as you would expect to find in a council tower block, not surprising then that thats what it looks like. I think that this was perhaps the architects first attempt at a habitable dwelling after a short career designing multi storey car parks. And it gets worse when you go inside the carbuncle.it was origianaly interior designed in the 70 s and has not had a makeover since, my room and indeed the entire hotel was ugly,tired and dirty and had that strange smell of an old persons house. I was particulary repeled by the Kilo of dust caked into the aircon vent in room 1124, did you know that dust is 80% dead skin? my aircon made a lot of noise but didnt actually cool the room, the roar from the six lane highway provides a constant hum in your room, the check in boy couldnt find my booking and was so nervous when he when he had to tell me for the second time in as many hours that my room wasnt ready that i thought he was going to wet himself, my limousine was a tired 10year old Mercedes E class, the food in the chinese restaurant was...well lets put it this way i wouldnt give it to my dog even if he had just eaten my favourite shoes! Its a sad and dreary place best left to flight crews and budget pakage holiday makers. My sugestion....sleep in a park or under a motorway bridge, walk the streets all night..do anything other than stay at the Sofitel Centara.
John McDermott 2008-02-08 until 2008-02-11	Sofitel Centara Grand Bangkok, Phaholyothin Road - Chatuchak I always stay at this hotel when leaving BKK. I enjoy the hotel and the area around the hotel. Very convenient to MTR and the Ladproe mall	Slightly more expensive then other sites but had the rooms available
Mr K Shimmin 2008-02-03 until 2008-02-08	Sofitel Centara Grand Bangkok, Phaholyothin Road - Chatuchak Have stayed here before and its good hotel with clean room and great breakfast. Very handy location for us who know the city well, but might be a bit far out from the centre for many (originally was good for the Airport but of course now its far from the new one).	Same good service as usual
Mary Tan 2007-08-12 until 2007-08-16	Sofitel Centara Grand Bangkok, Phaholyothin Road - Chatuchak The hotel has all the 5 stars facilities and the breakfast is good. The location link to a Central Plaza shopping mall and close to chatuchak and there is transfer from hotel to Central Chidlom. Basically we choose this hotel as we are on business trip and there is less traffic jam issue.	This is second time choose sawadee.com. The response from sawadee.com is fast.
