Youngone 2,258 #1 Posted October 31, 2015 I was originally booked into the JW for this trip, but about 3 weeks ago I received a marketing email from Accor announcing a fire sale with 40% discount on offer, downside was that it needed to be pre-paid. Out of interest I checked what they were offering and found quite a good deal for the Sofitel, so after some deliberation I decided to cancel my booking at the JW and bite the bullet in favour of a pre-paid room at the Sofitel. It is my first stay at this hotel and to be honest I'm wondering why I haven't stayed here before. The place is much better than The Landmark or the JW, there are no loud groups of kids around and the location is near perfect. The pool area is good with sun in the afternoon, the restaurants are top notch and the coffee shop on the ground level serves fantastic coffee. There is no joiner fee and on the 2 occasions I've had a guest there was no need for them to leave ID at reception. Pics below are of the 'Opera Suite'. Living room which is quite spacious. Wifi is free and fast. Bedroom with a very comfy king size bed. The place is totally noise free and the curtains black out any light. For a very light sleeper like myself there is no need for the usual earplugs. Nice bath in the massive bathroom. Large shower cubicle with rain shower. Water pressure is excellent. Double sinks with plenty of amenities. Pool area which is very relaxing with light music in the background. 7 crazycloud, AntAnt_1964, Boomerang and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boomerang 2,250 #2 Posted October 31, 2015 Thanks for the review . Almost stayed there last trip , certainly looks very nice & location is perfect in my opinion . Probably a bit pricey for many , but quite reasonable by western standards for a hotel of that quality . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markm 950 #3 Posted October 31, 2015 Looks good. No joiner fee great. Personally I don't mind the id . Keeps them honest. If you have a regular I sign them in for one two days to avoid the hassle. Then move to the next regular . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The ID thing is for your protection--agree not needed for regular trusted visitors, but always insist on it with unfamiliar guests. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gympy 561 #5 Posted October 31, 2015 Thanks Youngone. I've considered the Sofitel before but I used get great rates at the JW Marriott in my last job so I always always stayed there. Next time I'll check this out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Youngone 2,258 #10 Posted November 3, 2015 Have you tried sticking a dildo to the walls yet? Not yet, but it's only a matter of time as I did bring a small collection of toys for fun and frolics... What was the daily rate during that sale? Around 4K Baht/night including breakfast for a 'Luxury Room with King size bed'. For some reason I got upgraded to the Opera Suite even though I'm just a basic member with Accor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
