Shewin de Bangkok arvostelua

This is my 2nd time staying here. On the 1st occasion I was more forgiving...room on 3rd floor was great but the view was not, overlooking roofs of neighbouring houses but still peaceful. On the 2nd occasion, I stayed on the 7th floor and the view should have been better but the hotel's signage was just outside with floodlights pouring in. As a result, the room also had geckos presumably from the congregation of geckos outside which sneaked in when the window was open. Also, both rooms on either side of mine had balconies but mine did not....weird, or maybe not. The other problem was there was never any hot water on both occasions...semi-luke warm/cold at best and the temperature never changed whichever way you turned the shower tap. On the plus side, the bed was comfortable (although my 2nd stay had 2 singles joined together to make a king), big android TV, 7-11 is just 50m away, gym and pool. This hotel has potential .... with a good pool and gym, the restaurant has good food also, although not surprisingly more expensive. It is the simple things which makes you wonder....and I do wonder if trip.com, which gives you the cheapest prices amongst the other hotel apps, has anything to do with the choice of rooms I received. However to be honest, if I were to pay higher prices, this hotel is not worth it in view of it's location as there are a dozen better hotels and cheaper within a 2km radius minus pool/gym. All depends what your priorities are...
