Thank you so much for your video, very informative and detailed. I was thinking to stay here. Seeing the bidet hanging at that height next to the toilet makes me wanna cancel my booking.
Thank you! Glad I could be of some help. The set up of the sprayer is quite common in Thailand and around SE Asia. I expect you'll find something similar in most Bangkok hotels. Some will have the fancy Japanese toilets but you'll have to go high-end to get that.
Koreans fill up half of the SGS these days (Korea Town is next door, too). That's why there's a dedicated Korean station now. If you go to the front desk you'll find half of them working are also Korean for the same reason.
I can see a case for preferring the JW to the Sheraton Grande, but I don't believe it doesn't come close. They're very comparable properties and much will come down to personal preference.
@@warrenx82 I stay at SGS and JW all the time and hard disagree. Yes we know that Sheraton is a tier lower than JW on the brand guide, but that really doesn't apply to the SGS. It is a very known outlier in the Marriott community. Sheraton is more central, it's literally connected to the Asok BTS station. The service is great. The rooms are a little dated. And honestly the bar (which you just barely catch a glimpse of at the end of this video) - Barsu - is one of the nicest bars with live music and awesome staff on Sukhumvit. You'd have to go the whole way to Thong Lor to find something comparable. JW is also nice, but it's different. It's more business oriented. It's filled with a lot more westerners. It's also literally across the street from Nana Plaza which may or may not be your bag. But it's not as central, the bar isn't as nice. JW pros: the rooms are nicer (especially the suites) and the breakfast beats the hell out of SGS breakfast. If you care about the breakfast, you want JW or Marquis, not SGS. But "doesn't even come close to JW" is just not true.
Hmm. Not sure I agree. The colors have a certain throwback feel; so I guess that accounts for the dated feeling. But the room and the hotel interiors are not very old at all.

Love how the blue tile makes the water look so blue. Beautiful
Very helpful video, thanks for sharing?
Thank you for watching. I hope I can provide more helpful videos going forward.
I stayed for 2 weeks last July. A very good hotel.
Two weeks!? Wow. I hope you got good use of the pool.
@@jrthetourist I made a very good use of the pool.
Great viseo, though i do wish, when you mention less expensive equivalent hotels, you would say " like....
Good idea. I do plan to make videos in the future comparing alternatives in different parts of the city.

Interesting. I hadn't noticed, though I did see a good mix of people coming from all over.
The pool feels like is in Bali or something
no way this is the best 5 star in Suk. it doesn't even come close to JW in terms of rooms and service

@@jrthetourist Also Marriot classifies Sheraton under the premium tier while JW is under the Luxury tier

The rooms are carpeted. This is bad taste and unhealthy.
Its very old. Very dated looking room and bathroom.
