Reviews of Arize Hotel Sukhumvit 4 stars

Clean, quiet room in good location. Near BTS station, lots of good places nearby to eat and shop. The staff I dealt with were pretty helpful, although the kitchen staff at breakfast spoke little or no English. That's ok if you're ordering an omelette (although the woman who didn't speak English had to get someone else to come tell me what fillings I could choose), but they had trouble understanding, let alone answering, questions about what ingredients were in the food. Not ideal for anybody dealing with food allergies or special diets such as Halal (as some other guests were, on my last morning).

Bathtub very high side, hard to get in and out even though I'm not disabled, and no way to avoid it as the shower was over the bath. If you have mobility issues make sure they can give you a room without a bathtub before you commit. Breakfast buffet was second rate. Hot food choices were all Asian except for toast and eggs, and even the eggs were limited to fried or omelette with only 2 choices of filling. It was fine if you only want toast and coffee, but I like a more substantial breakfast. I like Asian food, it's one of the reasons I go to places like Thailand, but I would rather have baked beans or home fries with my eggs, not miso soup. Even though there were many other Western guests I rarely saw any of them at breakfast (and I only kept having breakfast there because I was too lazy to walk 5 minutes to Starbucks for something decent). As far as I could tell the restaurant wasn't open for lunch or dinner. While I ate those meals out every day, I usually book a place with a restaurant so that I have the choice of having some meals without going out if I feel like a slow day. It wasn't clear from the listing that restaurant hours would be limited during my stay. If this matters to you, you should ask them. Pricing was really weird too - in the listing it looks like you're getting a massive bargain at some high end hotel but when I got there I found it was a pretty standard mid-range place and so was the room. What I paid was a fair amount for what I got but the way the discount shows in the listing I thought I was getting a fantastic deal on something far better. To me, if the price you pay is fair market price, it's not a deep discount just because they claim the room is worth 2-3 times that price. Very misleading, I hope it wasn't deliberate, but I see similar massive discounts still being shown as I write this review two months later so I have to wonder.

Location was great, close to 7 eleven and 2 restaurants worth trying, also really close to BTS. Staff were great and helpful.

Not much really except dryer not drying well in the room but they offer dryers on 2 floors.

The staff were so helpful our room wasn't quite damp/musky. Air con dehumidifier wasn't clearing the air. Staff quickly sided checked the room and free upgrade. The breakfast was okay close proximity to everything. Bars/restaurants 7/11 straight across the road 5 min walk to Sky Train

Dampness in our room

Near BTS and Malls

Staff quite unwelcoming. Breakfast is cold and not as good as i expected. One time i was about to get in through the lobby door which is still closed, one staff ran ahead of me so i thought he will open the door for me but it turns out he’s only open the door for himself and shut the door right before i can pass through.

Room was decent

Worst breakfast and cleaning facilities

The room was very nice air con worked very very good big spacious apartment

The gym was not very good at all everything was old didn't operate very good .. the running machines were out of order

The location

The buffet of the breakfast is very poor and mostly empty for long time before refilling it.

Great location, very friendly staff.

Rooms are a little small, but okay for a short stay. Showers really aren’t good.

small breakfast, bad breakfast management

Location

Tv channels

Location. Brealfast was pretty decent

TV channels should have more vareity. At least CNN or BBC. Not everybody speaks Japanese.

Price point exceptional. Close to train line. Breakfast was good

Good location as the BTS is about 5mins walk from hotel. Shopping mall and restaurants are nearby. Mini bar are complimentary and the rooms are clean.

Literally no wi-fi in one of the room. There are routers in the Master bedroom but wi-fi was unstable. Also the bathroom drainage was bad. Inconsistency of the late check out pricing. We have to forgo the late check out as we were quoted 3 different pricing by different people.
