The Residence on Thonglor by UHG

I liked staying at this hotel primarily because of its location, however, I must mention that their service is excellent! They have a small gym and a pool, restaurant, massage place and nail salon all in the same building. Besides, convenience stores are nearby. This time the room I stayed in also included a wading machine, microwave oven and separate dish washing sink. In addition, the room also included a small dining table, a work station, a lounging sofa and a chair and table in the small balcony. The bathtub was surely a plus!

Location is good, opposite 7-11 and has a Tops (convenient) store right under the hotel. Hotel also has good amenities (rooftop gym, bar and kids play area). Room is relatively clean and spacious as well.

Location is not the best as it’s 2km from the nearest BTS, but on a positive note, I got a great “walk” out. As the area is full of izakaya and Korean eateries, there are bright lights in most places, so as a female solo traveller, I find it safe walking on the streets. There’s a top minimart right next to the hotel and a 7-11 opposite. It’s near the commons as well. But if you want to try Thai food, you may find it challenging around this area. It seems that the hotel is experiencing some management change, so they left a note explaining that they are aware of the areas for improvement and they are working on it. It did help to manage my expectation. Amenities wise, it is pretty basic, but it would be great if a hair dryer could be provided. I might have missed it but I couldn’t find it. Nonetheless, the hotel staff are very friendly and welcoming. Once, I forgot to bring my hotel key out, they were able to provide a replacement key very quickly.
