Wyndham Hotels in Bangkok

Wyndham Bangkok Queen Convention Centre is an excellent hotel/apartment to be staying in whether it be short or long term. It's located in an excellent and lively part of Bangkok plus it's close to the MRT. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. I found the service to be very good. The facilities and amenities on offer to hotel guests and residents are very good. Very good value for money. WiFi is very good. Very much enjoyed using the gym and the sauna. The property has an onsite bar (Falcon Secret Bar) with live music and a restaurant (Marie Guimar) that serves traditional high quality delicious Thai cuisines.

Wyndham Garden is a newly opened (2021) condo building on Soi 42. I spent only 3 nights in a 1 bedroom suite on the 25th floor, but could comfortably live here long term. Nice view of the city, day and night. Nicely decorated and well equipped for living, sleeping, and cooking. There’s even a clothes washer on the balcony. Great TV but no English channels, so BYO Netflix password. Strong wifi. Comfy bed, and the bedroom has a separate AC unit. Bathroom is small but functional, with a nice shower and toilet bidet. Swimming pool was clean. No jacuzzi tub. Didn’t use the fitness center. Hotel is located less than 5 minutes walk from the Ekkamai BTS station. The Gateway shopping mall (at the BTS station) is loaded with food options and coffee shops, but beyond that, Soi 42 is a food desert. I did not eat at the on-site restaurant, but the menu indicated lunch sets from 250b to 400b. All staff I encountered were friendly and courteous, but that’s where the good service ended. I think the hotel needs to decide if it’s a long term residence (units are for sale), or a hotel. There is no reception, just a small concierge desk, which was often unattended. On check-in I was given no instructions on things I needed to know, for example: Was told to call the desk if I needed anything, but there was no phone in the room, nor did I have the number for the desk. I was given 2 keys, the gray key for the power sensor and the green key for the elevator and room door. Housekeeping is by appointment only. Not knowing this, I waited 2 days before finally going to the desk and scheduled a cleaning. After 5 hours waiting past the scheduled time, I found the cleaners in the hall and asked them to clean, which they did, but they didn’t replenish coffee, tea, water, or toiletries. Plus they weren’t wearing face coverings, which made me a bit uncomfortable (COVID in Thailand is at record numbers at the time of this report). I don't mind washing up after myself, but the kitchen had no sponge or dish soap. And I didn't know to bring my own coffee. So in summary, the hotel is an excellent place to stay, as long as you are self sufficient and know to ask questions. And as long as you can get the rate advertised on the discount booking sites - Wyndham’s website lists a room rate 3 times higher.
