I booked The Davis after reading several positive reviews on Trip Advisor. It was my first trip to Bangkok and I had heard lots of horror stories about travellers booking what looked like a safe bet on the internet only to find that the room was not as advertised or was dirty or noisy or in a poor location or all of the above. The Davis cerrtainly lives up to it's billing. I loved it so much that I returned twice after my initial stay. When I turned up late in the day on my final visit I was greeted warmly as a returning guest and upgraded to a superior room. Davis rooms are attractively appointed and spotless. The staff are friendly, professional, helpful. The buffet breakfasts are delicious and fresh. And at the end of a hot, humid day of sightseeing, I really appreciated a dip in one of the two outdoor swimming pools.

Stayed at Davis hotel on New Year’s ‘08 for a total of 5 days.
Excellent hotel. Rooms were clean, breakfast was included. Hotel was a mile from Sukumvit road a 10 minute walk, and away from the busy streets.

Everthing was fine at Davis until I checked out and their computer was not working at 6:45 am and was told that my hotel bill would be emailed later that day. After waiting two weeks I emailed them to remind them about the receipt and received reply that they had mistakenly overcharged me 8221.54 baht. After emailing them twice they credited my card a month later.

I had a good time at Davis and even made friends with a Taxi driver Veera and he took me around my entire stay. Every time I asked him how much he would tell me to pay him whatever I wanted to. I generally paid him around 800 – 1000 baht per day and he chauffeured me around the city picking, dropping and waiting on me. He even dropped me at Club Narcissus for New Year’s party at 9 pm and waited outside until 2 am. Veera’s number is [--] if anyone wants to contact him for his services.

Overall Davis was a nice place to stay, but remember to check your receipt when you leave. Also try the fresh Lobsters at the Seafood market on the same street as Davis.

We stayed twice at the Davis hotel on this trip - we have previously stayed at a range of Bangkok hotels over the years and this was a very pleasant alternative to staying by the river - which would have cost twice as much for the same quality.
The rooms were excellent, clean and well equiped. There was a small but adequate pool area on the roof terrace and a bar and breakfast/restraunt area downstairs next to the lobby. The staff throughout the hotel were very attentive and helpful.
Being in the business district the views from the rooms aren't great and you have to be prepared to use local transport, generally taxis when going out - this wasn't a problem as the hotel doormen put us in taxis which invariable charged by the meter and didn't deviate from the fastest route. Getting back by taxis from some of the tourist areas did occasionally result in fixed quote rides (but prices were still not outragous).
Breakfast was great with plenty of choice to suit western and eastern tastes.
We will be using the Davis in the future as it provided excellent quality at a reasonble price

We booked one of the 2-bdrm villas for our family of 4. Our children are 10 and 12. It was not the luxurious villa as claimed on their websit. The bathrooms only had a tub with shower facilities. However, there is no shower curtain nor door. Therefore, every time you shower, the entire bathroom gets wet. We resorted to crouching in the tub to shower in order to avoid a mess. I wouldn't let my girls take a bath because there's a grey ring in the tub. The pool for the villa section was tiny, allowing play only not swim.

There was no turn down service in the evening which I had expected from a 5-star hotel.

The staff in general is quite rude. The girl manning the "Information" desk is only good at directing you to another staff to answer your question.

The shock came upon check out. The staff claimed we broke a wooden hanger and wanted to charge us 400baht for it!! The manager held us at the check out counter for 20 minutes when my husband refused to pay. A staff finally brought out the broken hanger, it had merely slipped out of its socket. My husband spent 5 seconds to fix it.
