I recently stayed for two nights at The Eastin from 26th to 28th August. I had read about the hotel on Trip Advisor and it more than lived up to my expectations!! I understand it had undertaken a huge refurbishment about a year ago so everything is nice and new. I encountered a problem with my reservation upon arrival ar 6.15am feeling exhausted and grubby being told my reservation had been cancelled. ( I'd booked and paid online 3 months prior to trip using a Co www.bookedin.com) Apparently the wholesaler was not paying the travel agents at destinations involved unbeknown to the travellers!!) Anyway the staff were great and helpful and ended up giving me a brilliant room which was huge and had two beds table chair etc. LCD TV and a great view. I later dealt with one of the front desk managers who went out of his way to help me.

The location is good being in the Makkasan area which is only minutes away from the Pathumwan district which is good for shopping and street markets. I walked all over, but a taxi or Tuk Tuk would have cost very little. It was easy to get a taxi to and from the airport and cost me 350baht each way.

I thought the buffet breakfast was really good and I also enjoyed the pool and facilities on day of departure, showering there late in the afternoon being fresh for my flight back to Sydney. It was very reasonably priced and great value.
