Reservation service:
Excellent and very quick service. Very good and will always use.

Accommodation and facilities:
This is my 3 return visit to Grand Tower. The other times where with RCI the timeshare group. The Hotel is clean, an excellent swimming pool on the floor. The hotel location is okay if you know before hand BUT it is a quite area and not many local people speak english so a hotel card is a good idea to tell taxi where to go.The taxi is about 10 mins by taxi from the BTS station. I paid 35 B for taxi ride.
Reservation service:
The booking service is 1st class and got txt message as i book late. Thanks

Accommodation and facilities:
Hotel older and impersonal. Lifts slow and non-airconditioned. Several conferences at the time of our stay made this situation worse. Ensure you get a business card from Hotel as there are 3 Grand Tower Inns in Bangkok. Found breakfast the best meal at the hotel. Lunch and Dinner buffets were very Asian taste orientated. Would probably stay somewhere else next time.
Reservation service:
Great service providing value for money accommadation. Paid same price via RCI but did not receive breakfast.

everything was ok with the hotel until we checked out. We had to leave a 2000 Baht deposit. Upon leaving i was told to pay 600 Baht for the extra bed. I booked a triple and informed them of this. After a few minutes they changed their mind and pointed to a sheet that was stained pink. I was told to pay 600 Baht for this sheet. I argued that my sheets had holes from smokers of which i did not complain. And here they are accusing me of staining their sheet. They would only want to refund 1400 Baht, charging 600 Baht for the sheet. They finally reduced this amount to 200 baht. I wanted to keep the sheet so that they could not steal money from other guests. They refused. I m most disappointed with this scam!

Accommodation and facilities:
Pros about Grand Tower Inn Rama VI: Newer hotel. We stayed in the executive suite triple (came with one large bed and one smaller bed.) Enclosed parking if you have a car/rental. Next door are a couple of restaurants and a laundry place -- 12 pieces for 35 baht. The hotel spa & pool are nice and fairly priced (about $3 to use the spa each day) CONS: Had to ask for microwave day of arrival even though it was supposed to already be in the room. Con #2: Location - not as close to Chatuchat Weekend Market and airport as you d think from the write-up...you cannot walk it - takes about 15-30 minutes drive time for each depending on time of day. Con #3: Many days, only got amenities like towels for two instead of triple. Con #4: They nickel & dime you for everything. When I checked out, they charged me for a small plastic tray and 3 small drinking glasses that they claimed should have been in the room. They also charged me when my 2 local family members visited the room -- assuming they stayed overnight -- when in fact they were just visiting. The hotel manager came to our room CHRISTMAS night of all days to report that we were to be charged extra for the visitors. They really made us feel bad. Poor timing -- it ruined our Christmas family holiday together. I would try another hotel given how they nickeled and dimed me -- checkout took over 30 minutes. I tried to explain but the language barrier was hard for them -- almost missed my flight because of the hotel. Last CON: there are only 2 elevators -- and 90% of time - you wait 5 to 10 minutes to use it. If there s a medical emergency -- you will be in trouble with this delay. Older folks and those with health issues should avoid this hotel as a precaution in my opinion. I was worried as I travelled with mother who has a heart condition. Note that I have travelled to Bangkok four times now, and have tried other hotels there. My judgement is based on other Thai hotels, and I think Grand Tower Inn Rama VI is more for Korean group travel who are there for quick stops.

Sawadee stood up to everything they promised. I would use Sawadee again.
