The hotel is in a great location, very close to BTS skytrain and metro line to the airport. The breakfast is plentiful and delicious. The gym and pools are a plus! The hotel restaurant is open 24 hours and the food was delicious.

Grande Centre Point Sukhumvit 55
Eventually we got a room that smelt ok, I was very appreciative of the gentleman who called the front desk for us when we were unhappy with the smoke smell in the room. The next room smelt like fish noted by the gentleman also. Then the next room was overwhelming musty. The last room thank goodness ...
