I stayed at the Somerset for a week between December 07 & January 2007. I highly recommend this place. It is located in Soi Suan Plau, of Satorn road, within walking distance to the Sky Train and close to Silom area. The hotel is very peaceful and quiet and offers a nice retreat after a day in the city.
The Somerset is clean, modern, the apartments, well equipped and decorated, have all the amenities and are very spacious and comfortable. They have a great pool and a decent gym as well.
The breakfast is a real treat in the morning with a large selection of Thai and Western foods, lots of fruits and excellent coffee.
The staff , either at the restaurant or at the front desk, is very nice, helpful and knowledgeable.
Definitely, in that price range, I doubt one will find a better place to stay in BKK. I will definitely go back to the Somerset.

This hotel is a gem...great, peaceful location off Sathorn, near Lumphini Park and 10 minutes walking distance from either Sala Deng or Chong Nonsi Skytrain stops (plus some Metro stops, but I didn't use Metro). It's suites, so for less than the price of the major hotels - we paid only $100/night! - you get a bedroom, living/dining room, kitchen with full appliances, and full bathroom. (Larger suites are available for families or longer stays.) Service is great, Internet is inexpensive, and there's a free gym and pool.

The restaurant is small and basic, so don't expect to eat meals here regularly - however you can easily go out and/or bring food in since there's a kitchen and dining area in your room.

There's a fantastic spa in the hotel...a wonderful 90-minute Thai massage was about $30.

I will definitely stay here again if back in Bangkok.

Bangkok is FULL of quality hotels and serviced appartments....this one is up there with the best.
Not 5 star but NOT five star prices either...a real good balance of location, quality and friendlyness.
i often visit Bangkok on business and this will become my prefered location for sure.
Give it a try...you can get better but not this well balanced.

This hotel is just fabulous. Breakfast - unbelievable. Lobby - awesome. Services - awesome. Rooms - beautiful. You get a full kitchen and dining area and living room and bedroom, and at such a low rate compared to Bangkok hotels. I hoped people couldn't guess I wasn't a famous ambassador so they wouldn't kick me out for being just a tourist. It was an oasis of peace and comfort in Bangkok. Highly recommended.
