Very in depth report on DG , since I have stayed here many times , a few comments/critiques of your review.
19 hours ago, Thanks said:Check in took long because I had to fill out the complete registration form by hand although I had done the booking on the hotel's own website.
In the past I simply signed their card and presented the credit card I used to pay for room along with my passport.
19 hours ago, Thanks said:No one attending the pool area to serve drinks (well, you can make a call from a courtesy phone by the pool entrance and order beverages and food but WTF.
I think their system works fine , pick up the phone and order. A copy of the menu is there for you.... I have seen a lot of folks eating and drinking by the pool.
19 hours ago, Thanks said:You only get 1 keycard. Every time you leave the room, the a/c will go out.
Did you bother to ask for another card ?
19 hours ago, Thanks said:The ironing board that I had gotten from reception upon arrival was removed from the room after 3 or 4 days. WTF? Don't they have enough of them in a supposedly 4 star hotel?
Never realized a hotel's star rating included availability of an ironing board..... many guys who come to Thailand wear comfortable clothes that do not require ironing.
19 hours ago, Thanks said:Elderly housekeeping maid was standing by the desk and checked (with her eyes only though) what stuff I had laying there. That "OMG, yes I am guilty" look she gave me when she saw me entering the room was priceless!
Unwarranted accusation.... you should be ashamed of yourself.
19 hours ago, Thanks said:it has no hotel bar.
Perhaps no actual " bar " , but the attached restaurant does sell drinks and the tables outside are nice , but Soi 6 is quiet so not great for people watching.
19 hours ago, Thanks said:The other day I peeked into the Arabitia coffee shop next to the 7/11
Excellent coffee.... limited food.

18 hours ago, waterplay said:thanks for the post - I've always like the DG. very convenient and clean and the staff are very good from the experiences I have had. quick check in, clean, nice rooms, gym and pool.
Agree... and now I see they have a couple ladyboys working front desk.

Been staying here for past week. building 1 , closest to front desk/Soi 6 is being renovated. Very light construction noise during the day.
Looks like they are almost finished. Some rooms on upper floor already have beds and curtains. Now installing lights on balconies.
Still need to tile the balcony floors. Should be done by end of October... maybe.
I always liked this hotel... enjoyed my stay....

It is named Dawin...part of the Dynasty group. Small rooftop pool, very small. Still a nice hotel.

Bottom line , this property has clearly seen better days. Stayed here 3 or 4 times in the past , but not in at least 5 years.
Last time got upgraded to a huge 1 bedroom suite almost at the top where there are only a few rooms on each floor due to the taper of the building. Had washer/dryer , kitchen, 2 balconies , but a/c was noisy , difficult to calibrate and had cockroaches in the kitchen.
-
Although Pala Pizza is still my favorite , Hillary 1 on Soi Nana now has a wood burning oven and I had a pizza tonight, was excellent.
It had Parma ham goat cheese and rocket greens.
-
My biggest gripe about the wifi was having to log in all the time, then they change the p/w every week so once you have it memorized, but speed was ok..... anyway...good place , nice staff. OP mentioned room service food....did they open the kitchen in the lobby ?
Was not open when I stayed.

Have stayed at Alt brand hotels in other cities, if you look at the location, you will see it is quite far up Soi 4 and then over toward the motorway. Dynasty has their hotel Parinda nearby the Alt. I would not hesitate to stay at either if their location was better.
-
I rode the BTS almost every day for the month of December and then first week of January. Sometimes it's ok, mostly it is crowded , often packed...not a wise decision with luggage...as said taxi from BKK to Soi 2 with tolls 400B or less.
-
Some good selections on Soi 8 off of Suk. Had some good soup with red pork ( 40 B ) and yesterday had pork dumplings from a different vendor , also 40 B...very tasty.
-
a bit dated 4 sure
and no pool
dawin next door ok but a bit small
dynasty inne grande and pachara suites round corner soi 6
and the other 5 star one "accord' hotel card needed for discounts
What happened to the pool ? Used to be a big pool on 8 th floor ..... the refurbished rooms are nice but better choices in the area....

Must be heartbreaking for an award winning chef to have to cook up shit like that.....
Very often good chefs cook crap because it is what the customers want.

Across the street from JW Marriott , I guess that would be Soi 2 and Suk is a large building with shopping. On the street level are several casual
restaurants including Mr. Lee's Kitchen which i like. Go to the lower level there are about 10 more restaurants and a Supermarket, Villa I think.
I also like the Middle Eastern restaurant on the lower level, good authentic, reasonable
