The Connex Asoke

This hotel is a conundrum. Upon arrival one sees a spectacular modern design, rooms with breathtaking views of the Asoke intersection in the heart of Sukhumvit and a charming and helpful check in by attractive youngsters. BUT thereafter it is only downhill.... I believe the problem is that the new owner has no idea how to run a hotel or has no money left after the purchase to pay for competent staff. One feels bad criticising the young people working who really try their best to be helpful..... But they are amateurs when professionals are needed. The cleaning of the rooms is a shambles... A lottery as to whether its cleaned or not.... And the standard of the cleaning when done is bad.... Laundry sent comes back with pieces missing.... The aircon smells as though there is a dead rat inside somewhere... And there is no repair..... Did you ever have a hotel include breakfast but then give neither coffee nor tea and then charge you practically the full breakfast price if you order a beverage!.... And God forbid that you order food when someone else is doing the same... You may have to wait 45minutes to get served! There are just no systems in place to make things run properly and a well meaning manageress who has no idea what she is doing. A great position with a great building "look".. To be avoided at all costs.
