I was too late in booking at the Tarntawan Hotel last New Year and ended up staying at the Montien Hotel for 3 nights. On the morning I was due to head up to Bangkok from Hua Hin, I received a telephone call from the Tarntawan saying they could now accommodate me, but it was too late by then as I was about to catch the Dusit sprinter up to the Dusit Hotel in Bangkok and from there on to the Montien.
The Montien has a great location on Surawong Road, only a few minutes walk to the delights of тАШSoi TwilightтАЩ.
It is beautiful hotel with very comfortable rooms, a great breakfast selection at which I over indulged. I have recommended the hotel to a straight female friend as a great central location. Just across the road there is Patpong market and only a short walk away you can catch the Sky train at BTS Sala Daeng on Silom Road.
There is a small extra charge for the Internet, I had some problems getting connected and had to call on the assistance of their technical staff. I managed to access the Internet on my computer, but not on my iPhone for some reason.
There is a joiners fee so I sought my entertainment outside the hotel and used my time exploring a couple of massage parlours and reached a new low when I used the in-house facilities at Super тАШAтАЩ Bar.
