Definitely not a new build. I made my first stay here back in 2012 or 2013. Rooms used to have carpet but they had a bad plumbing issue which resulted in backups and soiling of carpets. For the first few years there were mildew issues in the rooms as a result. They fixed the plumbing problem then ripped the blue carpet out of all the rooms. I can also confirm this is a great choice if you're looking for a pool area with ample morning sun. One other added benefit is they usually have a tuktuk that will take you to the top of Soi 11. I've also had the TT transfer me over to Westin (both Aloft and Westin are part of Marriott chain) without issue. Just toss the driver a small tip and they'll be eager to hook you up. Marriott Plats always get a welcome drink voucher and free breakfast along with the welcome points. For those using Bonvoy points, it's tough to beat the value at Aloft 11.

Excellent location; possibly the best in BKK for action. Have made three stays here in the past couple years as both Hyatt Discoverist and Explorist status. Never received an upgrade (though it wasn't expected as they're not guaranteed at these status levels). Had a $50 F&B credit on all stays from the Chase Hyatt Biz card and used for both breakfast and the sushi bar. Breakfast was excellent and the sushi was fine though not especially noteworthy. One note regarding the pool; if you enjoy morning sun keep in mind the pool area is mostly in the shade during this part of the day. Never had any issues with bringing guests (GG and LB) to the room though keep in mind they lock the front entrance later at night so you have to make the short walk around to the side/main entrance. One additional note is they increased the points needed this year. Used to be a category 2 property and was an amazing points value. Now it's cat 3 - same as Grand Hyatt.

Not too forum savvy and I registered my username as my email. Who can I message to get it edited to just "vivalv2001"? Thanks!
