The Ivory Suvarnabhumi - Bangkok

I stayed here for a week, in early January. My rate was around for 550 Baht; close to the airport, clean and comfortable. Could be better in some ways and I would stay again. Room: the size of the room is very good; perhaps about average for Asia and may be seen as a larger size. I was confused by some reviews; perhaps there are different size rooms available, but looks all the same. The furnishings were fine for the stay with a fridge and hot pot. The bed was just okay; I would say firm but not too hard. Beds are often hard; I tested before I checked in and felt it was passable. The bed in my room, however, does need to be replaced; one side is a bit broken down. There was some noise from above and on the same floor from other rooms, but not bad, but also many open rooms. May be worse if there are more guests. Bathroom: a nice size with a separate shower area; something that is not always available at other hotels. There was some good storage above the sink as well as in the shower for personal items. Water was nice and hot and pressure was good. TV/Internet: This was a disappointment. At check-in, I tested the internet speed in the lobby and it was great. I neglected to text in room; the signal does drop within the building and I had poor internet service in the room. Also, the TV is an older unit and does not have HDMI ports. Location: the apartment is close to the airport; about 200 Baht by cab. Easy to grab a motorcycle taxi; there is a train station about 10-12 min away. There are is a mall a few blocks away as well as some markets. This is not a great tourist area, but nice if you want to be close to airport. But there is a 7-11 and a few restaurants as well as full size stores close by. Facilities: all the basics; elevator and building are clean and kept up. Plenty of parking for scooters, and it looks like there were several open spots for cars. There is a laundry room downstairs. There is some street noise, but not bad; I did not note any huge issues.

It's an ordinary hotel set in an interesting neighborhood replete with cafés, supermarkets etc, along that noisy Lat Krabang road. Not enough staff to take you to your room and explain how to use their oldish shower piece of equipment. Flimsy wi-fi.
