CITY LODGE SOI 19 BANGKOK

"First time I have stayed here. Having tried a number of hotels in the Sukhumvit vicinity the City Lodge is great value. The room was clean and well appointed - average size. Location of the hotel is good - minutes from sky train. The hotel is close to a major intersection and thus it tends to be a bit noisy - I didn't notice but my partner did. Free wifi on the lobby is useful if you have brought you lap top and want quick access. In a time when you can get a pretty disappointing deal in the mid range priced hotels the City Lodge stands out as fair value - I would recommend it if you need somewhere to sleep - but don't expect 5 star facilities. This is a good hotel and well priced. I will stay again there on my next visit. If you fancy an unusual dining experience go to Cabbages and COndoms in Soi 12 nearby.... great Thai food, the rest of the experience is up to you to judge !!" - richard Lewis

"Very Good location to BTS, very good service!!" - Damo Norlito

"A bit noisy because it's close to the busy streets, but other than that, this hotel is awesome!" - Daisuke Nishijima

"One year ago I raved about this hotel because it was excellent value and I wrote two positive recommendations on this site. However, on my recent visit I find they have increased the room rates by a whopping 60 + per cent, the breakfast is now exorbitant for what you get, and they still do not have reliable internet service in the rooms. I have stayed in this hotel for maybe seven or eight times in the last year and every time i have had to complain about the internet connection in the room... the only good thing about this place is the staff and I do feel they are embarrassed by the rates now being charged - old customers are staying away. My recommendation - GIVE THIS PLACE A MISS, there are much better value places for the money" - richard Lewis
