michael876 Posted May 12 Posted May 12 Hi all, any interesting to say about Le Siam hotel, the former Swiss Lodge? Is it any good? How about joiners? Thx! Quote
reader Posted May 12 Posted May 12 Have read several good reports on forum on this hotel. No reported problems with bringing someone to room. Quote
forrestreid Posted May 12 Posted May 12 I stayed there in January, and enjoyed it. The rooms are of reasonable size and nicely appointed. The only thing I disliked was that the room I was in had a really slippy wooden floor. I had to avoid walking around in socks as any time I did I nearly slipped. There was no problem with joiners, they didn’t pay any heed to who you are bringing back even though the lift is beside the reception. The little pool was a nice addition for a late afternoon swim. I don’t know about the breakfast, as I did not have breakfast included, and so I had my breakfast in “Took Lae Dae” on the basement of the Park Siam shopping mall, which is two minutes walk away, across the road. If you go through the ground floor of that building, you are right beside Sala Daeng BTS station. jamiebee 1 Quote

Members tm_nyc Posted May 13 Members Posted May 13 Agree with the positive comments about LeSiam. Convent Road has loads of high-end, low-end & in-between restaurant options too. Quote

vinapu Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Visitors no problem at all. Reception is on 5th floor so if you room is on another floor you will not pass by at all as entry is by car. If one is super discreet service elevator from parking can be used 7/24 so even on 5th floor reception will not see you. As for noise it may be some from construction besides during day but that depends on where your room is Marc in Calif 1 Quote
Marc in Calif Posted May 15 Posted May 15 I've seen Le Siam deteriorate considerably over the past 20 years. It used to be quite elegant, but when I returned in 2019 it was a bit tattered and sad. I wonder if ownership/management changed at some point. However, I'm sure it's still a fine place to stay in terms of comfort, cleanliness, and price. Quote
