    Stayed for 3 nights (Th-Sat) in a 1 bedroom executive booked through agoda (w/bfast $93).

    It's new, the location is 50m from soi 4 turning left & a right turn takes you to Suk & Nana bts in a matter of minutes. If you head straight  rather than follow the bend the alleyway takes you to soi 8.

    Check in was a breeze even though the desk was unmanned at first and I was soon up to my room. You need the keycard to activate the lift. The room was spacious and well designed. The sofa was large enough and firm enough to accomodate two doing more than sitting...

    Large bathroom, decent hot water although the cold tap came off in my hand! There is a bum gun. The lighting around the mirror could be better but no major problem.

    Bed was large & very comfortable. Pillows are soft. If you want the room made up there's a button to the right of the bed. 

    Two tv's (samsung smart). The choice of channels was poor and the signal frequently dropped out for minutes at a time. My guest thought the wifi less than impressive too.

    Staff are great and it's LB friendly. They didn't ask for id.

    Breakfast was average. Egg station out by the bar. Usual Asian choices, some cereals, terrible coffee. Lack of fruit too.

    I was the only BM with breakfast companion but it was no problem. 

    The pool on the roof is deep enough and ok for an 7 or 8 stroke lap but I noticed a huge overflow from just me. Don't put phone, clothes or paper on the ground when it's in use. Jacuzzi works fine. The sun is off the water at 1pm. The gym looked ok but I was too lazy to use it.

    The bar hasn't been finished which is a shame - could be a real winner with some thought.

    The front bar is ok. Usual big screen showing soccer.

    Overall I'm glad I picked it now as it is still fresh. Can imagine it will look tired in a couple of years (some of the tiling & grouting was very thai & the cupboard doors neede ten goes to fully shut and turn out the light). Similar story to Galleria10.

    The location is a winner for a short stay.

    I looked into one on the other side of the river but the owner (a Thai living in Canada) said her mum & dad would be around to check everything ok. I had visions of threesomes being interrupted or an old Thai lady questionibg the stains on the rug

    Me now being post-op (but not in that way; calm down) I've got plenty of time to plan for future trips (pathology reports notwithstanding :D) so was overjoyed to see this review on agoda. Anidst all the "It had a tv! Best ever!" (USA), "Desk people very rude" (India) "Towel not soft enough" (Malaysia) was Hassan from Saudi Arabia. On our sister site he would be loathed and reviled but here I'm going to praise him  ".....location is good with 10 minute walk to nana st & nana plaza. It's a guest friendly hotel, you can invite guests to spend the night with you at no extra charge."

    That's reviewing!

    G10 is guest friendly. The rooms are ok- the last remodelling was five years ago and it shows in places. The pool is a large bathtub but the roof area is cool and the bar does some good 2 for 1 deals. The breakfast is ok. For the price and location it's good value.Parking a car in the underground carpark is an experience. In two visits (2013 & 2016) I never saw the golf buggy work but it's a reasonable walk to Suk (if you can make it past CIRB!)
