[turtlezhu]

walao..i'm gg to start there in my march trip...

quick change and book another hotel!!!

 

[Whisper]

i'm going to stay there for my trip next month. i still remember the construction was stopped for a few years and the building looked eerie when you look at it at night. hopefully nothing happens to me next month.

How's your stay?

Sister went there last month. She stayed at the north wing premier triple room. she say she felt "special presence" , she feel very uncomfortable when she alone inside the room.

however, was puzzled, since is a new hotel.

Ok, Bro dede u hv a nice trip, dun forget to FR for ur Legacy Express stay.


Actually when u stay at any hotel in the world, if u hv a very bad dream that mean that the hotel is not very clean, any one got this experience ?
but harmless only a bit scary. when u sleep at home that never happen.

Legacy Express, we booked superior room and add extra bed.
Location is good, one stop to bts chiltom.
the hotel outside have 711 and dominos which is good
room is ok, 27m2, no bath tub.
one lift , 4 floors

wifi was so so only, sometimes good sometimes not
breakfast was super not good You have to cook your own egg sometimes, coz only 2 staff there . breakfaast area is like some construction place .
other than location, there isnt any good point I can mention about the hotel

Then I better don't book this hotel since 2 people in this thread mentioned special encounters.

Was tempted to book as it's built in 2013 and I thought should be 'clean' and agoda having good promotion.

How about Glow? It's new too. Hope it's 'clean'.

Grand Diamond is old but didn't read anything 'dirty' about it. And it's cheaper than Glow.

haha yup is new hotel,maybe one of the building is old one.
coz rmb before they built, there is one tall building there also .
same here, thought new hotel should be clean.

if i rmb correctly, you can book direct or agoda website.
very few ota have their hotel.
My sister booked at 425 for 3nites for 3 person,premier triple room.
agoda price is abt 500+
hence we decide to book direct.

so this hotel case is maybe direct price is cheaper.

glow pratunam is opened in 2011 if i rmb correctly.
deluxe is 27m2 no bath tub, review not bad.
went there before 2 years back, the room is clean .
but need change lift to go to your room.

grand diamond is opened in 1991 if i rmb correctly.
1bedroom sutie 45m2 is old.carpet with stains.
but location is super good
we went there, everything ok,depsite the building is old.

some 1bedroom is bigger than the others
becoz we went to change room, then notice some room is abt 34m2, some is really 45m2 ... those 34m2, I supsect they renovate and then use to become luxury room, which is 34m2. smaller in size ...

Dede.. I googled and it seems to me that grand diamond rooms.. Even the cheapest one.. Come with living room and kitchen? Junior suite they called it, right? Book direct is cheaper.

Btw.. For hotels that need place deposit when u check in, do u pay by credit card or cash? I worry when they deduct then refund via credit card, I may lose out on the exchange rate.

 

[Snowblind]

The deposit can be held by credit card and only charged if any damage or usage of items.

Just came back from Berkeley and was staying in the main tower.

Pros-
Room was big
Toilet big
Good location

Cons-
Tv 32 inch....Very small.
Shower location got mold on the wall, damn disgusting. Hated to shower there.

No ghost or stuff encountered. We spent quite abit of time in the room and stayed up very late. If fact I was usually up till 2am.

Tks for review. I think I still won't book Berkeley as I'm quite unlucky..so might bump into "them" if they are really in the hotel. I encountered before in First Hotel lor..

I think different hotels maybe different practice. My previous hotel I overheard they deduct immediately and the refund will take 14 working days.
