I stayed their at Xmas. A nice change from the usual chain hotels. We were upgraded to a suite which was very spacious & well furnished. The bed was fine. Public areas were modern and very trendy the bar in particular. Was pretty cool - decorated with life sized b&w photos of famous jazz & blues artistes. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Good local restaurants included Lemongrass & Seafood Village (absolutely vast!). Downside - a 15 minute walk to the BTS & not quite up to 5* standard.
A couple of weeks later we stayed in the Conrad on Wireless Rd - the standard room was superb and the buffet restaurant the best I have had in BKK!

I stayed at the Davis back in late December. It was my first time to stay there and I had been looking forward to it. Actually I stayed just one night on the way to Myanmar, but it was enough to make a very good impression on me.

Although it's a rather big hotel, it does has a small boutique hotel feel to it - cozy, stylish, hip, and friendly. I got a very good rate and upgrade to a design room by calling the hotel directly on the same day and speaking with the nice reservation manager.

The service was very good and everyone was friendly and helpful. I liked the room. Ours was a design room done up in a Chinese style, quite nicely done. The room was spacious, bed very comfortable, and bathroom great. The room was perfect actually, but there wasn't much of a view. I think a higher floor would have been much better.

The free breakfast buffet was really impressive. A full spread served in their stylish cafe that's very bright, open, and sunny. It was fun just people watching at breakfast. A nice crowd seemed to be staying at the hotel and it was a good atmosphere. The service at breakfast was very good too.

I only looked at the pool for the villa rooms, not the main pool, but I guess it would be nice. There's a spa with reasonable prices and I'll have to try it next time. Anyway, I enjoyed the Davis a lot and will definitely stay there again.

By the way, it's easy to get to the hotel from the airport, only about 20 min. door to door. I can't say much about the overall location of the Davis since I only stayed one night.

thanks for your impressions....do by chance do you remember about what you paid?? bkk prices are all over the map....

crell....next time you are at the conrad make sure you have the dim sum lunch...simply fabulous....eat from a menu buffet, fixed priced...very unusual stuff...
