The Staff at the Luxx were so helpful, courteous and efficent and spoke English well. We couldn t speak more highly of them. Location of the hotel was good, 10 min walk to skytrain and Selom Road just around the corner. Compact Double room comfortable, firm bed no backache.
Delicious scrambled eggs. Breakfast served in room. No view from Hotel and no lift but the rest all good. Stayed 9 nights in Feb 2008.

Rooms were a bit more tired than what the pictures suggested however everything was very clean & modern with helpful staff. I would have liked to have been closer to MBK & CentralWorld for shopping but it s central to the Silom Rd area & not far from the river & other attractions by tuk tuk/cab. I think the value is pretty good looking at the cost of other similar standards of accomodation. |
great, took all the hassle out of checking in |

Nice rooms, just as what you ll see from their websites. The beds were abit hard though. And its not entirely sound-proofed from the small road outside so you ll hear the occassional motor vehicles zoom by. We wanted to book a compact S, but was offered the compact L instead cause it was fully booked. But looking back at the website, I just realised we got upgraded to a studio instead! Nice bathtub and the walls can be opened too. But i had trouble closing it back! There were gaps in between so I felt kinda cold while showering.
Walkable distance (15-20mins)to the river pier. The breakfast was good and on time! And they didn t rush us to check out, by the time we checked out, it was around 130pm. I also liked the fact that we could borrow magazines, travel guides and DVDs from the lobby area.
Overall a very nice place to stay! |

This was my first time in Bangkok and the Luxx was my first hotel there. I really came to like it after I had adjusted a bit. One of the best parts of this little boutique hotel is their breakfasts. Nice coffee and pastries and eggs. Do be warned that this hotel has no elevator. They will carry up your bags for you, but it would not be a good place for someone who has trouble with stairs. The rooms are cute and the bed nice. The bathtub being a wooden cask is better in theory than in practice. I liked the intimate feel of the place. You quickly get to know the front desk people. No big corporate feeling here. If you want everything perfect, this may not be the place for you but for me, I think they do a good job and I liked the personal feel to the place. It is half a block off Silom Road, which is a good location. You are about three blocks from the skytrain which is very helpful. You can walk down Silom to the river which takes about 20 to 30 min. There are usually cabs all over the place too. My suggestion with respect to cabs is make sure they agree to turn on their meter before you get in, otherwise you may find yourself in negotiations for the fair to your destination. The good part is that even if you are overcharged, it will probably mean you paid something like $3 US extra. In short, do relax and enjoy. I would definitely stay at the Luxx again. |
Booking through Sawadee was very smooth. I would just recommend allowing a couple of days to get through the confirmation and payment steps. |

Sweet little modern place with great service. The folks running the front desk were so helpful and kind. They let us check out at 2pm our last day and even let us into an unused room later that night to shower before we jumped on our plane to come back home.
It is very small and quiet with no outdoor space to speak of, but it was a nice place to escape from the sweaty streets of Bangkok.
It s about 5-10 minute walk to the skytrain which was fine.
Great place for the money imo! |
good. |

This was a great boutique hotel in a great location of Bangkok. The room was a bit small, but that did not matter since it was so nice and ultra modern. The bed was great, the bathroom was very swanky and the place was very clean. The staff was very nice as well. I would stay here again if I return to Bangkok. I think next time I may even upgrade to one of the larger rooms. This hotel was like a miniature version of the swanky W Hotel chain that are in the USA and other world class cities. Very nice place. |
The Sawadee booking service was very good and we would use them again. |

Excellent hotel. Was upgraded to top floor suite for no additional cost. Full American breakfast with more than enough food was served in-room every morning. Staff were all-around excellent and courteous. The room was impeccably clean and had modern Thai styling. Great location on a quiet street right off busy Silom and a few minutes walk from the nearest SkyTrain station and the nightlife of Patpong. |
Easy and convenient. No worries! |

Decent Hotel just off the Silom Road, but hardly any taxidriver knows the road...The hotelstaff was very friendly and complimentary upgraded us to a studio room on the top floor. Breakfast in Bed was great and tasty!
This is definitely a top hotel after a long flight from wherever you come! |
Easy! |

It s a very lovely boutique hotel. You can feel its modern and cozy style immediately when you just see it. The room I booked is not big but enough for everything, and bed is very comfortable (I like hard mattress). They also provide wireless internet access in the building, and a DVD player in the room. I happened to brought a set of DVD with me and I stayed in the hotel room in some raining morning to watch DVD - I just felt like home. The breakfast is OK, and I decided when and what to eat the night before. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I wanted to see the tanks and soldiers, and they wrote down the Thai for me:D Luxx is in a very quiet block, not far from central Silom, by walking, only 10 minutes. There is a flight booking agency just in neiborhood, and a nice massage in the next door. Opposite to Luxx accross the road, a lovely cafe called perk . The only problem is that luxx is very close to other buildings, and staying in the room for long, you will feel a bit confined. It shouldn t be a big problem because most won t stay too long in hotel for the trip. |
Booking is good, and it s not my first time to book on sawadee.com. The problem I had this time is: I wrote to the website to ask if Bangkok was still safe in the coup after I booked the hotel (two days before my trip started), but I got reply when I had been in bangkok for three days. Glad bangkok is safe and calm. |
