Westin Grande Sukhumvit Hotel Review and Pictures by Mr. Francois Vincent

editor@excelloz.com (Mr. Francois Vincent) — Fri, 28 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMT

First of all I want to say that I was satisfied with the Westin Grande. I stayed at other hotels in Bangkok before and I know that there can be quite some differences at times because 5-star is not always 5-star. The hotels I stayed at before (so the ones I can compare to) are the Sheraton Grande an ...

Carlton Singapore Hotel Review and Pictures by Mr. Harald Baumann

editor@excelloz.com (Mr. Harald Baumann) — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMT

I really liked the rooms here although my first impression of the hotel was not that good. Why? Because when I wanted to checkin I noticed that they didn’t reserve the correct room for me. Apparently a mistake made during my booking (travel agent?). It took me a while to make them upgrade my room e ...

Conrad Hotel Review and Pictures by Ms. Angela Johnson

editor@excelloz.com (Ms. Angela Johnson) — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMT

The Conrad is one of the best hotels in Bangkok and I chose this hotel on recommendation from a good friend of mine. The location is really good. It is located on Wireless Road close to Lumphini Park, Silom Road and Sukhumvit So all major areas are in easy reach. Very convenient. The Skyrain and sub ...

Banyan Tree Bangkok Hotel Review and Pictures by Mr. Mark Mulgrave

editor@excelloz.com (Mr. Mark Mulgrave) — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMT

The Banyan Tree in Bangkok is situated in one of the tallest buildings in Bangkok. It is very narrow for a building this tall, which makes it stand out from an architectural point of view. The service I received was nothing less than excellent and definitely worthy for a 5-star hotel which is not ...

Amari Rincome Hotel Review and Pictures by Mr. Umbert Fischer

editor@excelloz.com (Mr. Umbert Fischer) — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMT

Even though I have to say that some parts of the room I stayed at in the Amari Rincome are not the newest anymore, I have to say that overall I enjoyed my stay at this fine hotel. My room was quite but I saw that some of the rooms can also be located more closely to the street which would probably m ...

Bamboo Garden Hotel Review and Pictures by Mr. Florian Howard

editor@excelloz.com (Mr. Florian Howard) — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMT

Basically, the Bamboo Garden Hotel is a great place with many advantages and some disadvantages (for some). The rooms are quite nice, the staff is friendly and speaks ok English if not perfectly (but who needs that anyway). Problem for some could be the location. Its about 30 minutes away from the ...

Capital Beijing Hotel Review and Pictures by Mrs. Susan Miller

editor@excelloz.com (Mrs. Susan Miller) — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMT

The Beijing hotel was the place I wanted to stay at because it is a very classic hotel in Beijing, more than a hundred years in existence. You definitely feel like being sent back in time when entering the hotel. The design follows the typical French deco style of the 1920’s. There is also another p ...

Holiday Inn Downtown Beijing Hotel Review and Pictures by Mr. Goran Obovich

editor@excelloz.com (Mr. Goran Obovich) — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMT

As the nbame says it already: The hotel is conveniently located in downtown Beijing. As can normally be expected from a Holiday Inn Hotel, everything was of a high quality. The breakfast was great with a cooking station where you could order some warm food like eggs or French toast anda chef prepare ...

Garden Sea View Resort Hotel Review and Pictures by Ms. Angela Johnson

editor@excelloz.com (Ms. Angela Johnson) — Thu, 20 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMT

I booked this hotel on a recommendation from a friend. I paid 1600 Baht per night for a standard room and for this price it was a very good choice. Despite the fact that all hotels in Thailand are quite cheap this one is a 4-star hotel with good facilities and clean and safe rooms. I liked the swimm ...

Equatorial Penang Hotel Review and Pictures by Ms. Marisa Klee

editor@excelloz.com (Ms. Marisa Klee) — Wed, 19 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMT

The Equatorial Hotel in Penang is a bit worn out considering its price class. It could need some refurbishement in some areas. That doesn’t mea it was all that bad but I expected a bit more from it. Service was Ok but not that good either. There were some problems at checkin as my reservation couldn ...

Evergreen Laurel Penang Hotel Review and Pictures by Mr. Daniel Barry

editor@excelloz.com (Mr. Daniel Barry) — Wed, 19 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMT

Me and a colleague chose the Evergreen in Penang for its reasonable price. We paid 210 RM for a room and it included ABF. The room was comparatively large, staff was really friendly, there were no problems whatsoever. One could argue that the location is not perfect as it is not at the beachfront al ...

Aston Bali Resort and Spa Hotel Review and Pictures by Mr. Nicolas Rodriques

editor@excelloz.com (Mr. Nicolas Rodriques) — Wed, 19 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMT

The Aston Bali has 3 stars if I remember right. For that I have to say I was positively surprised. Facilities were great and the staff friendly. Also, the food including the breakfast buffet was very good, too but it could have changed a bit more often as it hardly did during the 2 weeks I stayed ...

Bali Holiday Resort Seminyak Hotel Review and Pictures by Mr. Bret Burton

editor@excelloz.com (Mr. Bret Burton) — Wed, 19 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMT

I was on Bali for the first time and booked this hotel because of the low rates. Well, I got what I paid for I would say. The Bali Holiday Resort is a bit rundown in some areas. The facilities are not up-to-date anymore and not even all available bars and restaurants are in use anymore. Well, as B ...

Siam Heritage Hotel Review and Pictures by Mr. Gede Suta

editor@excelloz.com (Mr. Gede Suta) — Thu, 06 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMT

I travel to Bangkok frequently and normally keep trying out new hotels. This time I stayed at the Siam Heritage. I found the rates to be very reasonable as I only paid 68 USD for the room per night. In the well equipped and clean rooms I always felt comfortable and for a 3-star hotel, the Siam Herit ...

Miracle Grand Convention Hotel Review and Pictures by Mr. Daniel Barry

editor@excelloz.com (Mr. Daniel Barry) — Tue, 04 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMT

Coming to the Miracle Grand Convention Hotel was a good choice I would say. One thing I have to note though: If you want the quickes access to the center of Bangkok including all the excellent shoping opportunities then you are a bit more away from that than at other hotels. As the miracle Grand Con ...

Holiday Inn Silom Hotel Review and Pictures by Mr. Ioan Voicu

editor@excelloz.com (Mr. Ioan Voicu) — Tue, 04 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMT

The Holiday Inn on Silom Road was fantastic. A very luxurious hotel in an excellent position in Bangkok. Silom Road is Bankok’s business district and I had easy access to the Skytrain which was the best I could have as it’s the fastest way to move around this big city. I liked the night market every ...

I enjoyed the Montien Riverside to the fullest. Before I had stayed at the Montien in Pattaya before so I knew this hotel group before and was very satisfied the lasttime.

Garden Singapore Hotel Review and Pictures by Mr. Mario Stanski

editor@excelloz.com (Mr. Mario Stanski) — Tue, 04 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMT

Considering the low rates, the Garden Hotel is definitely a budget hotel. I had the impression it could need a brushup at some points but it wasn’t too bad for a hotel in this class. It is clean, staff was friendly and helpful and in the end, you get what you pay for. The location is quite central ...

Novotel Lotus Hotel Review and Pictures by Miss Christina Lee

editor@excelloz.com (Miss Christina Lee) — Tue, 04 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMT

I stayed at the Novotel Lotus Hotel as part of a package trip I bought 3 months ago. It was my first time in Bangkok so I can’t really compare The Novotel with other hotels. For the price I paid it was very good from my point of view. The rate I paid was 68 USD per night. In Europe you wouldn’t get ...

Part of the Davis Group, the Davis Hotel in Bangkok is one of the newest hotels in Bangkok.

Before I came to the Elizabeth Hotel in Singapore I wasn’t expecting too much as I had informed myself about this hotel beforehand reading reviews on the Internet. The reviews weren’t the most positive ones but as it was part of a package tour I couldn’t really change it. I was surprised then to see ...

Baiyoke Sky Hotel Review and Pictures by Mr. Ben Ziergen

editor@excelloz.com (Mr. Ben Ziergen) — Fri, 30 Jun 2006 00:00:00 GMT

The Baiyoke Sky is definitely a special hotel in Bangkok as it is located in the tallest building that Bangkok has. The Baiyoke Tower is located in Pratunam which is quite close to Siam Square. The latter is Bangkok’s prime shopping area with many of the biggest shopping malls in South East Asia. M ...

Gallery Hotel Review and Pictures by Mr. Daniel Barry

editor@excelloz.com (Mr. Daniel Barry) — Fri, 30 Jun 2006 00:00:00 GMT

I had mixed feelings about the Gallery Hotel Singapore because of the following: Let’s start with the good things. The Gallery Hotel is good for smaller budgets and I chose it because I didn’t want to spend a fortune. Also, I think my room was more than OK for the price I paid and the included brea ...

Asia Bangkok Hotel Review and Pictures by Mrs. Susan Miller

editor@excelloz.com (Mrs. Susan Miller) — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 00:00:00 GMT

The Asia Hotel was a great choice for us. For a budget hotel there was not much to complain. While staying at the Asia Hotel we normally were moving around Bangkok the whole day so we didn’t make use of the hotel’s facilities too much. The Vietnamese restaurants that is onsite was maybe the weakest ...

Radisson Resort Gold Coast Hotel Review and Pictures by Mr. Michael Comglas

editor@excelloz.com (Mr. Michael Comglas) — Wed, 14 Jun 2006 00:00:00 GMT

The Radisson was a good experience on my vacation to Gold Coast. Especially as a golfer you will have your fun there. Atmosphere in the hotel was casual and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Conrad Treasury Hotel Review and Pictures by Mr. Michael Comglas

editor@excelloz.com (Mr. Michael Comglas) — Wed, 14 Jun 2006 00:00:00 GMT

The rooms of the Conrad Treasury couldn’t have been better. No doubt about that. But I was a bit disappointed that the bill I received was not correct.

editor@excelloz.com (Mr. Michael Comglas) — Wed, 14 Jun 2006 00:00:00 GMT

I liked the rooms here and the food and facilities were also good from my point of view. A golf court is directly connected to the hotel so this hotel is especially good for golf players. The price for playing on it is very reasonable. The Radisson hotel also has a spa but I didn’t try it. The are ...

Sofitel Silom Hotel Review and Pictures by Mr. Mario Stanski

editor@excelloz.com (Mr. Mario Stanski) — Mon, 29 May 2006 00:00:00 GMT

Entering the Sofitel Silom was quite impressive. U just gotta love the lobby. The rooms use a dark wood for their floors and although the design is quite contemporary, the Sofitel uses several “Thai design influences” to spice things up and not let you forget that you are in Asia. I especially like ...

Staying at the Costa Lanta resort was fun for me although somepeople might not like the style of this hotel. Let me explain: I enjoyed that the Costa Lanta doesn’t follow typical hotel designs.
