Hello Fodorites:

I'm using Marriott points for my Thailand travel in January. Is the Courtyard Marriott close to the SkyTrain? (walking distance)? The address is
155/1 Soi Mahadlekluang 1, Rajdamri Road
Bangkok, 10330 Thailand.

Any thoughts about this hotel and its location?

Thank you!
Heather

I have stayed there a few times on business trips, and like it a lot, even though it is not on the river which is generally my preference. The pool area is small but nice. I like their little spa, good massages. Very convenient to walk out to the sky train and the busy main streets in that area, but it is tucked away on a side street behind the Four Seasons and so is very quiet at night, a nice plus IMO. Nice restaurant for breakfast. I don’t believe many of the rooms have bathtubs, mostly showers only, if that makes a difference to you, ask for a room with a bathtub. Ask for as high a floor as possible, just to get any views which may be available (there are not really any, but high floor offers some city views at least).

If you want some really local food, walk out to the right from the hotel and go to the little restaurants in the alleys back there, you can also get out to Ploenchit Road and Wireless Road quickly from here as the little alleys can be used as a short cut.

Thank you very much! You both eased my concerns about the hotel and I'm looking forward to staying there.

And thanks for the local restaurant tips!
