 "Darjelling hotel is located in a quiet road, just off Sukhumvit Soi 18. Ask the taxi driver to take the first right after entering Soi 18. This means that you hardly get any traffic noise, and you're not harassed by tuk-tuk or taxi drivers as you exit the hotel. It is a 5 minute walk to Asok BTS station and a 10 minute walk to Sukhumvit MRT, via a covered walkway through the Exchange Tower, which is just next door. There are only 20 rooms in the hotel, 4 rooms on each floor. Thankfully there is a lift. The room is small, but all the fixtures are modern and new. When we checked in, the room was spotless. There is a bar fridge and a flat-screen TV with cable channels. However, there is no kettle provided, which for a tea-drinker like me, is rather inconvenient for a late-night cuppa. The bathroom is well appointed, with a bath with attached shower head, and it has a rather interesting window that looks into the bedroom, so the bathroom looks bigger than it really is. The only thing that we disliked was the rather noisy air-conditioning. We also found some ants in the room, although they did not bother us. The best part of the Darjelling hotel is the price. I paid about US$50 per night, including breakfast. Although the breakfast is nothing to shout about (eggs, sausages, toast, coffee and juice), it is convenient. I have stayed in places like the Adelphi suites and Arnoma hotel, but I find that the Darjelling is the best value for money so far. It is also a non-smoking hotel, which is great for my hubby who's asthmatic. " - Elizabeth H., , 07/01/2008
