Furamaxclusive Asoke, Bangkok

Stayed here during lockdown & as such couldn't access any facilities and honestly the room itself was nice, the staff were friendly & attentive with heat scanning and covid procedure My main issue here was the breakfast - I've had better breakfasts included in 0 star backpacker hostels. I opted for this place against several closer because of the convenience of breakfast being included but it was quite literally 1 egg - toast / jam / salad ... No meat options , no cereal , not very breakfasty or appetising and for a 4 star property just off Sukhumvit I was quite shocked. It's close enough to ASOK BTS / Terminal 21 but if you have heavy bags it's a good way down the soi to go on foot in the heat - nowhere near as close as google makes it look - I'd opt for a hotel ON Sukhumvit in future as there are far better transport connections.

WiFi connection was very bad, and air conditioner was bad, too.

IT was easy to get to other locations from here by taxi, MTR or on foot. Soi 21 is a major through street so access to lots of eateries, shopping ect. However it was during the COVID-19 quarantine. The staff was nice and always helpful and the housekeeping staff quite efficient and always very nice. Cannot comment on pool or gym as it was closed. Cannot comment much on the room I reserved as it was not available since more than half the floors had been closed down but so stated upon reservation and I had to stay in a far less acceptable room. Management approach to the situation was to give me a room that was even lessor than the one reserved and claim the room I was given was somehow an upgrade. It is in difficult time that a service provider gets to prove if they are really worth their rate: This hotel did not really rise to the challenge. They tried to respond with as little as possible.

The hotel shut down many floors so when I checked in I was put into a room without a balcony and smaller than I had reserved. When I asked about this. I was told the floors with those rooms had been closed down and any other room they could offer me would not have city view, would be low floor and the small balcony it had was enclosed by a significant grate, looked into another building, was noisy from a very busy street. They claimed it was an upgrade from the room I had reserved however, The toilet leaked around the bottom, the room had little tiny bugs coming from any place and appliance existed, the bed was extremely hard and uncomfortable. Between the bed and the street noise I found it very hard to sleep. The breakfast had little to offer, they could make eggs and at one point bacon but that ran out. One evening I ordered a salad to take away and I literally received 2 small leaves of lettuce to small rings of onion and green pepper and 2 small cherry tomatoes but was charged the same as when I ordered the salad to eat in the restaurant which was very generous. I was charged the same for the crumbs as for the in eat salad. Leave it to say I carried my own take away container and ordered the mixed salad to eat in and transferred the salad for myself to assure the quality and the quantity. When I checked in the manager had promised me a very good rate if I extended. when I asked to extend, I was given the exact same rate as they said they had upgraded me. However, I can say fully that the room I am in is a far cry from the room I booked and it is anything but an upgrade. The only place to sit out and get any sunlight was on the patio of the hotel which was small and right on a very busy, very noisy street main thoroughfare. While the hotel staff was excellent in their service for any request: print outs, laundry returns, obtaining a car and the cafe staff lovely, the facility over all lacked so much as compared to the reviews and missed the mark.
