SKYVIEW Hotel Bangkok
This property is nice but a bit far from major attractions. We did run into some flooding from our shower and they fixed it right away. As an apology, they gave us dehydrated strawberries and a lovely note. The hotel was clean and the rooftop patio was beautiful. I would recommend this hotel.
