Avani Sukhumvit Bangkok — Attraction in Phra Khanong Nuea Subdistrict

I had a quick stay at Avani Sukhumvit to try this property and compare with the other two Avani hotels in Bangkok. This hotel was opened less than two years ago so the hardware is new and modern and of similar quality as Avani+ Riverside, both of which are much nicer than the aging Avani Atrium. People on a budget could find this hotel to be a good choice but there are compromises to make, for example the location is not central, suite upgrades are very unlikely, and the hotel does not have an executive lounge.

I booked the entry level room and received a two-category upgrade to a Deluxe room as GHA Black member, my room was a bit more spacious (37 sqm) than the lowest two room types (26 sqm). The room looked great and was in excellent condition as can be expected for a new hotel. I liked that it was very bright particularly in the bathroom because of the huge window in front of the bathroom sink and counter, but as a couple it would be required to draw the blinds down with the electric controls because the toilet was looking straight out that window into the bedroom without any door; for a solo traveler, this will be a non-issue. The bathroom also had a large stand-alone shower with excellent water pressure in addition to a separate bathtub, and similar to other Avani hotels they had Malin & Goetz amenities. A minor flaw of the room was that air conditioning could not lower the temperature below 21C even on full blast all night. I would not say the room was hot, but I wish it could have been a tick lower.

The restaurant closed due to covid so I could not have breakfast or dinner there. That said it was not a big issue because the hotel is directly connected to a shopping mall which has lots of restaurants and also a grocery store (Tops) in the basement.

The location of the hotel is quite out of the way but it’s immediately next to On Nut BTS sky train station on the Sukhumvit line so it’s easy access to public transportation. It is 7 stops away from Ploen Chit station which could be considered city center and you get there in 20 minutes. I liked the convenience of walking out of the hotel straight into the shopping mall, but for most people the location will not be a plus.

Overall Avani Sukhumvit is a nice hotel with good quality rooms at a modest price. For solo travelers who need to be in this part of the city it should be a no brainer, otherwise for better chances of a suite upgrade and central location there are...

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel immensely. Let me summarize good and bads for you. Good: Price is great. What you get in this price compared to other places, is really nice. Beds are EXTREMELY comfortable. I love that king size bed, mattress, pillows, blankets, it was all so cozy and comfortable I had to extend my stay several times!! Room is clean and nice. Shower has a strong water pressure even on the 25th floor. Shower water is nice and hot when needed, shower is of a great size with big entrance door, and no water was leaking anywhere. There's a small gym, that gives you 2 treadmills, some weights with a bench, plenty of mirrors, strong AC around. Right next to gym is a swimming pool. Sunning next to the swimming pool is possible until 1:30pm, as I remember. Staff members (reception) are very kind! Anytime I had some questions, they always helped me. I'd like to thank especially to Bon (hotel's manager) who have made a great impression on me by his professional and friendly approach. He helped me a lot to make my stay comfortable, ensured the specific room is ready for me in advance. We got along very well, we then talked about various topics. Location of the hotel is great. BTS Skytrain is right next to the hotel. There are two markets on the same street as the hotel (one is close, one further). There is a small shopping mall, called Century plaza, right inside the hotel building. It has a Cinema too! There is MK restaurant right across the street, Tesco Lotus, and other places to eat including some local food. Traffic outside is busy so getting a taxi is quick. Not so good or could be improved: The breakfast is mediocre, at best. But that's not the fault of the hotel, as due to the COVID-19, hotel's restaurant is closed, and breakfast are served at the Coffee place on the ground floor. It's not a bad Coffee place, as other meals and smoothies are really nice, just breakfast are lacking in quality and not leaving the best impression. Waiting times were also very long, few times I waited about 30 minutes. Gym had no papers or water cups refilled for quite some time, but it was then fixed after my inquiry. TV channels list is limited. There's only one english channel with series/movies, it's Warner Bros.

Overall. This hotel is absolutely great. I had a great time, and I am definitely looking forward to...

Disappointed Experience with Empty MinibarDear hotel Manager, Avani Sukhumvit Bangkok.I hope this review finds you well and everyone reading this. I recently had the pleasure of staying at your esteemed hotel, and while my overall experience was fantastic, I regret to bring to your attention a particular disappointment that detracted from an otherwise delightful stay.Upon checking into my room, I was excited to explore the amenities, including the minibar. However, I was disheartened to discover that the minibar refrigerator was empty. As a frequent traveller who appreciates the convenience and luxury of having refreshments readily available in the comfort of my room, this omission was quite disappointing.I understand that oversights can occur, and I trust that it was not a deliberate act. Nevertheless, I believe it is important to bring this matter to your attention, as it may impact the experiences of other guests in the future. The presence of a well-stocked minibar is often a significant part of the premium hotel experience, and its absence in this instance was surprising, especially in a high-end establishment such as yours.While I recognize that mistakes can happen, I would like to share my feedback in the hope that it can contribute to the continuous improvement of your services. I believe that addressing the issue will not only enhance the overall guest experience but also uphold the reputation of your esteemed hotel.I would appreciate it if you could look into this matter and ensure that future guests are not faced with a similar disappointment. Your attention to this concern would reaffirm my confidence in the quality of service offered at your hotel.I am grateful for the attentive and courteous service that I received from your staff during my stay, and I genuinely hope that this feedback will contribute to the ongoing efforts to uphold the exceptional standards for which your hotel is known.Thank you for taking the time to read this review, and I look forward to hearing from you regarding the steps taken to address this...
