Hotel Amber Sukhumvit 85

Nice hotel in central Bangkok (Soi 85 Sukhumvit, near On Nut). We had 2 corner suites, and they were reasonably clean, except for some stains on the sofa, floor, and curtains. The bed was spotlessly clean and fresh. Air conditioning is excellent; there are 2 televisions with only Thai channels and a lot of bright light in the rooms (but fortunately, that can be turned off). Breakfast was decent with adequate coffee, bread, Thai dishes, fresh fruit, made-to-order eggs and fresh noodle soup, and there's also a nice salad bar inside. You can sit inside or outside. The location was excellent for us; it's ideal if you have your own car, but it's a very busy area. On Nut is becoming more bustling; however, since you are conveniently located near the BTS, it should not pose any inconvenience at all. The shopping mall is connected to the BTS station, so it's nearby. You can have a delicious meal in the evening on the street side of the Mall at many stalls with Thai products. Amber is a nice hotel; the downside was the really small pool with no shade at all. That was a real disappointment. It feels unsafe walking to the BTS from the hotel; it's deep in Soi 85, and walking there is dangerous due to the heavy traffic, so be very careful. There's a mini lobby where they sell food and drinks, and you can buy water if you've finished your two free bottles. Otherwise, it's a dime-a-dozen hotel that's not bad but certainly not great either.
