*Reviews of recent stays*	*Comment on the hotel*	*The reservation service*
SAHAR AWAD 2008-10-31	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 Very good for the Rate and too convenient, clean bedrooms and that what you need while in BKK because you will not spend the day in the Hotel it Is only for sleeping.If you love Arabic food …restaurants are around the area, actually they call it the Arabs area as it is full of Arabs. Too close to Nana BTS station, 5 min walk, it was fine for me.	Too Professional as usual.
SMaze 2008-10-08	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 The hotel is good value for money. Its cheaper to book from this website than directly from the hotel. Its only 7 minutes walk to the next station.NANA BTS Station. The hotel s in house laundry is cheaper than outside. There is a 7 Eleven store convenience store close by. Starbucks and Money exchange at the end of the street. Internet Cafe and travel booking offices in front of the hotel. Be aware of TUK TUK drivers and touts that present you pictures and entince you for massage.	Book was grest. Offered me the lowest price than the hotel offered. No hassles on arrival. Great.
Martin Darling 2008-09-13	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 Decent hotel with great location. Room was spacious but shampoo not provided. Enjoyed having breakfast outside. Daytime front desk manager is not overly polite. However, hotel is good value and will return.
Mrs. SAHAR AWAD 2008-09-10	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 Hotel is convenient, Massage shop next door, Internet and money exchange with the best rate…2 minutes walk to BTS sky train. Clean Room and bathroom, a bit dim inside the room but never been a problem. To me I would never need more than that after a long day shopping…just to come and lay down on a comfort clean bed.	Prompt as usual
Suresh Nayak Kuloor 2008-08-27	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 It is a nice place to stay in Bangkok. Location and hotel is good. Room is spacious enough and well attended. Clean and spacious bathroom.Good Staff.We love to stay in same hotel when we visit Bangkok next time. We had a great stay in Bangkok.	Thank u sawadee for ur hotel booking service.We did not hav any problem at reception. Just I told my name to the receptionist and they showed me my room.
Helmut KAEOKAM 2008-08-18	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 Gutes Hotel und alles zu meiner Zufriedenheit. Ich hatte ein Delux Zimmer was sehr sauber und geräumig war. Das es keine Fenster hatte störte mich persönlich nicht. Die Türe ins freie zur zusätzlichen Belüftung weil ich Rucher bin genügt vollkommen. Der Fußweg zum nächsten Supermarkt 2 Min, zum Sky Train 5 Min und zu den diversen Lokationen 5 - 15 Min. Alles in Allem für meich sehr zufriedenstellend. Einziger Kritikpunkt das Frühstück ist mehr als nur einfach und in Wirklichkeit zu vergessen	Die Buchung sehr einfach und zuverlässig. Die Dame von der Buchung kompitent und zuvorkommend. Meine nächste Buchung sicher wieder über Sawadee.
Nanang Subana Dirja 2008-06-01 until 2008-06-04	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 It was pleasant to stay at a clean, budgeted, and cozy hotel. Everything was fine: AC, bathroom, bed, and breakfast. Luckily I was not having meals a lot so poridge with halal chicken was more than enough to feed every morning,despite availability of other choices: poridge with shrimp, bread, orange juice, ommelete, etc. Guys in front desk also were also relatively ok. Travel around Bangkok was no problem: 100 bath using bus AE3 in front of Soi 5 Sukhumvit to Svarnabumhi Airport. BTW, mosque was in front of the hotel, so no worries for you to pray Jum at. Will stay again next year! Best Regards to Mr. Mohammad -the restaurant attendant. looking forward your visit to Indonesia. Cheer!	It was great. Everything was ok. Fast booking, secure, and accepted by Hotel receptionist without not many questions. I checked in late at 3 am, and the room was on my name.
William Maclachlan 2008-05-29 until 2008-06-03	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 great hotel, friendly staff, nice clean room, bathroom bright clean and newly fitted, water pressure great and also very hot. no charge for joiner, breakfast could be a bit better but all in all had a great stay will def return to this hotel when next in bangkok	very good as always no problems at all
Robert Murphy 2008-05-29 until 2008-05-31	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 Hotel is located in a busy side street, which I thought had a lot of character and personality. some people may be intimidated by area but my girlfriend and I loved it. Supermarket and restaurants nearby. About 5 min walk to skytrain - good location. Rooms were clean, smelled a little musty the first day but otherwise very clean. Not a single insect in sight. Breakfast was average.	good
PIERREZ VINH 2008-05-02 until 2008-05-05	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 good location close to many restaurant etc. but very noisy. Plenty of middle east people in the area. Rooms are cleans, poor service and breakfast. Know some hotels more cheaper and better	very good
Muhammad Zeeshan 2008-04-06 until 2008-04-09	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 it was really good good experience to live in Bangkok Sahara Hotel. Most thing which i like that, i heard 5 times AZAN
Mikhail Grigoriev 2008-03-21 until 2008-03-30	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 Small hotel, rooms dont have that facilities that they promise on web site, like safebox and bath tab. But its nice and clean, good value for money.	Was very fast and very professional. Great in general.
Mdm Lim 2008-03-15 until 2008-03-17	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 2nd time of patronage since location is so convenient, rm is clean & neat. However, portion of breakfast served are too little compare to previous time.Would be better with added English TV channels & music stations.
Katharine Wahyuri 2008-03-15 until 2008-03-17	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 The front desk and elevator a little bit shabby but the room & bath room very clean. I recommend this hotel for the midrange hotel.	Very efficient
Martin Darling 2008-03-05 until 2008-03-06	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 Excellent location! However, the hotel is near a popular bar so it can be a little noisy late at night. Breakfast was average and the bathroom was a little small. Overall, good value and I will stay there again.	Fast! Efficient!
Kristina & Yura 2008-02-22 until 2008-02-24	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 reasonable price but the hotel is not a very good one, this was the most surprising view from the room - wall of another building!!! food is ok, but the sutff is totally unfriendly, they could at least smile from time to time, instead we saw only angry faces at the reception. no safety box in the room, they don t clean the rooms and don t change towels. not enough light in the room. good situation - close to sky train station Nana , but from another point of view - too many prostitutes all over the place.We surelly didn t like this hotel.	great
kevin raymund mcgurk 2008-02-18 until 2008-02-20	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 Good location just off sukhumvit & close to nana station, good welcome on arrival. Room was small but ok and clean. Booked an extra night one week later at a higher price with hotel direct and would stay again.	First time booking with no problems at all
Maaria Pennanen 2008-01-25 until 2008-01-27	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 Location was ok, nearby BTS- Nana station. Rooms were clean, but the hotel had already seen its best days. No safety box in the rooms, but there is chance to use one in the reception. Breakfast was also ok, and breakfast service was good. But the receptionist could not care less about customer service. Good choice for budget traveller. Sahara is okay, but not shiny!
Luis M A Barroso 2008-01-16 until 2008-01-10	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 For a budget hotel, it was very nice and clean and a very affordable stay. The service was simple but pleasant with friendly people who did a good job. They were always polite and tried to help as much as they could. It also helps for hotel guests to be nice themselves and try to learn and respect the Thai culture, which is very beautiful.	Quick and prompt
Asrade Mengstu 2007-12-29 until 2007-12-31	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 Although the exterior looked shaby, the rooms were clean and very decent for the price. The location was also great.	Excelled my expectations, things went very smoothly at all three hotels I booked through Sawadee.com. Thank you guys.
HAU WING CALVIN KWOK 2007-12-07 until 2007-12-11	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 I had a room on the 1st floor, it was clean and the hotel staff were helpful, had a nice stay. The hotel is very central as far as the Sukimvut area goes, everything you need is pretty much right next door, banks, supermarket, bars, restaurants, etc.	Fast and efficient
Sean Ryan 2007-10-18 until 2007-10-22	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 Very clean rooms, a nice little hotel. A small downside is the noise from outside. It can become very noisy in the early morning as traders and workmen go about their business. Also, the Aircon makes the room very cold, so it s not worth keeping on for long. All in all a good hotel for the price.	No problems as always
Lireneo Martin 2007-09-19 until 2007-09-21	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 Service was disgusting. Included breakfast was awful. Rooms filled with roaches.	Sawadee.com is great. I ll book with them againg.
Thai Addict 2007-08-31 until 2007-09-01	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 Rooms must have been newly renovated--so, they are clean and functional, except for the weak AC. The reception staff is not at all friendly; in fact, they are downright rude sometimes. Price is okay for the facilities in the rooms, but definitely not for the service.
GAJ Houterman 2007-08-06 until 2007-08-11	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 stil okay, Prices of the restaurant increased a lot. almost the double since 2006. Good location, good room. probably will stay there again if i visit thailand again	its okay, it would be better if they block youre creditcard directly when you want to make a booking. Then you wouldnt have to reconfirm your booking by the real payment.
Alexey Alekseev 2007-08-02 until 2007-08-03	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 It was just a short stop on the way to Koh Tao island. The hotel wasn t bad. Clean and big enough room (and normal bathroom). Don t eat (and especially drink) in hotel restaurant - it s overpriced. Hotel is near Skytrain station, which is good. Bad (personally for me as a Jew) that it s located in area called Little Arabia. Near hotel there is a big concentration of orthodox Muslims, icluding women in hijabs -a little bit unusual for Bangkok.	OK!
James Terry 2007-07-27 until 2007-07-31	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 The room was clean, but overpriced considering it only had small frosted windows - i.e. no outside view at all. Plus no kettle for tea or coffee making. The worst part was checking in - I arrived at 1 a.m. after a 26 hour journey, but there had been confusion about holding the room available for me so late (despite the advanced payment!). There was a worrying 20 minutes when it appeared the hotel was completely full already, but after some protest the last available room was finally given.
Mrs Cheong 2007-05-24 until 2007-05-30	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 walking distance to NANA BTS station,711 convenient store & 24hrs supermart,hair salon & laundry just round the corner.IDD cum Internet access shop is just infront of the hotel.Rm is clean & newly upgraded but without direct local calling,besides HBO channel the rest are either Thai or Middle East programme.Totally no music or English radio station could listen inside the guestrm.Breakfast served is delicious but portion is a bit too little. Service staff in cafe are not attentive.	Efficient & responsive. Would certainly use for next visit.
Peter Firth 2007-05-18 until 2007-05-23	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 The front desk needs a facelift but do not be put off by this. The rooms are clean and of a good size with clean and decent sized bathroom. I will stay there again as it is well located near Sukhumvit Rd	Excellent as usual
Hani Bajouda 2007-05-18 until 2007-05-19	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 i paid for 3 days i checked out after 2 hours never and never want to stay there aagain its not a hotel its a jail!!!!!!!!!!!	very good
Fern 2007-04-26 until 2007-04-30	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 i think the hotel is made for midgets. stayed on 1st floor, the shower is shorter than me. to wash your hair, you have to bend. room is relatively clean, though spotted a coackroach in the toilet. overall, i think 1200 baht for a night there is quite on the high side, i d rather pay a little more to get someplace bigger and cleaner.	prompt service, quick reply
Russell Lindsay Stott 2007-04-05 until 2007-04-10	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 been here now 3 times. good hotel for budget conscious traveller.great location,close to bars, restaurants and bts skytrain. only downside for me would prefer safety deposit box in room. will be back again in september	very easy, smooth service..will be booking same way again next time...khup khun krub!!
Peter Firth 2007-03-19 until 2007-03-29	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 Clean, reasonable price and close to the action on Sukhumvit. Reception gives the wrong impression of the room but the service was friendly an defficient.	Excellent and easy. I have used the service amny times and it is reliable.
LEN LEE 2007-03-09 until 2007-03-13	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 Good; it is a clean little place in the middle of a busy Nana area. For the price it is good but don t expect too much! I found out that they keep the good rooms (ones that are facing the street) to higher paying customers. Those of us that booked thru the Internet gets the back rooms.(ones that are facing a wall of other building) It is located in a middle east area but over all are friendly. Bad; dim room. no fan in bathroom. no free water. Others; Found that the exchange rate are much better at the near by phone shops and or the internet cafes. The 24hr food store around the corner will be your best choice for daily needs as well as the many 7 eleven around. Across the hotel has a little travel agency. Jumbo I think, can book you mini van and tour for a reasonable price. we booked a mini bus to Pattaya for $ 2000 Bath Taxi to and form Airport pending on traffic should be around $ 300-400 Bath and always get one with meter! Over all it was a good place to stay for the price. Should I have more money, the Armari around the corner would be a good choice.	quite painless but the reply is a bit slow. but compare to others, sawadee.com is not bad at all.
Mr.Stuart Mclachlantuart mclaclan 2007-02-20 until 2007-02-23	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 found hotel to be comfortable at reasonable rates.very close to skytrain,convenient store,shopping,and if needed exciting night life.	have used this online booking service many times and as yet not once have i experienced any difficulties in using credit card through internet,and the actual booking on arrival at hotels
Chen Hsin Tang 2007-02-19 until 2007-02-20	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 A good choice, the price I paid was 1200B for a double room. The room is clean, well maintained. good location at BTS nana station. but the hotel is a little difficult to find.If you don t want to pay too much money, it the very good choice. Much better then the tower inn I stayed next day.
Roger Keller 2007-02-16 until 2007-02-18	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 Clean rooms and more or less comfortable. Central location (Sukhumvit) is very good (short walk to Nana BTS station). Within Arab quarter but no problems there. The road-side rooms are a bit noisy in the night.	Very good booking service.
Casey 2007-02-08 until 2007-02-11	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 If you are traveling on a budget or just want a clean room to sleep over, this hotel is value for money on its location. Nana BTS station is just 2min walk from hotel. BUT if you are looking for hotel that provide nice enviroment and good breakfast spend a little more money check yourself into another hotel. This hotel do not provide basic things like hair dryer, warm water,tissues paper and not event drinking water in the room. The safe box in the lobby is very unsafe, we have to carry our passport around the whole trip. There are eating house in the supermarket and on top the supermarket that provide nice Thai food which is more for foriegner taste(not so sweet and salty as compaire to local eating house). The supermarket run 24 hours and there are small eating stall along the street during the night. Over all this hotel was value for money on its location and not services. It is good for budget traveller.
Mr. Naresh Kumar Bhandari 2007-01-29 until 2007-01-31	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 Well maintained.	obsoultely fine.
Ning Phei Phei 2007-01-26 until 2007-01-29	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 although it is a small hotel, suprisingly the room condition are good, clean and comfortable(just like the picture showed in the internet)It is very near to Nana station, just a 4 mins walk. Body massage center is very nearby to the hotel and if you like night life, this is definitely your right choice. It is very near to pub town.. strategic location. If i come to bangkok in future, i will choose this hotel again.	The sawadee service is very fast and efficient. Very trustable.Well done
Munzir Khalid Khan 2007-01-25 until 2007-01-27	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 What should we expect from what we paid here, the hotel was average, clean and no issue in room or toilet, but what i feel here two things, they need to have better attitude with customer (required Customer Training Program) and the breakfast was fixed not buffet, everyday same food. bottom line is hotel was average, safe if you have family and clean, I can recommend to anyone having tight budget	one word fantastic, everything went smooth all the way from hotel we have in bangkok andf in chiangmai thru Swadee two thumbs up
Stuti 2007-01-03 until 2007-01-06	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 The hotel seems quite new.The rooms were good. The toilet and room were also clean. The only thing the hotel should try to improve its lobby. The lobby is bad it needs a good renevartion.The hotel should also improve the standard of the breakfast it was really bad. Overall the hotel was good. would recomended it.only the breakfast and the lobby needs to change
Huong Lan Nguyen 2007-01-01 until 2007-01-06	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 Great location however, it is quite expensive for what it provides. No free internet access. The entrance looks old and dirty but the room is quite decent. The first room that given to us stank with cigarette smoke so we had to ask for another room. Horrible selection of TV channels, mostly for Thais and Arabs. The showerhead for our room (128) was very low and my husband found it hard to take a shower. Limited choice of breakfast, eggs, eggs and more eggs, no buffet breakfast like other hotels. The staff was friendly except the old lady with glasses at the reception. When we asked for a taxi to the airport, she offered to book a taxi for us at 500 baht. In reality, the cost of public taxi is only about 200 baht from Sukhumvit Soi 5 plus road tax of 65 baht, so rougly 300 baht. Goot profit huh? Conclusion: Won t come back since it is unfriendly and expensive.	very quick and convenient. 5 star service.
DR. ZA`FARAN HASSAN 2006-12-06 until 2006-12-12	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 I stayed at this hotel with my 12 year old daughter from 6-12 Dec.2006. I must say that the rooms and toilet were extremely clean and the location is superb. Close to the BTS, muslim restaurants serving Halal food, 7-Eleven, Money changer and night market. But best of all, me and my daughter feel safe and secure being two females on a leisure travel experience. BHowever, I do hope that the hotel can improve on the breakfast menu. The three choices offered were all eggs menu. After the third day....I had to go and eat elsewhere. They should offer other choices like pancakes or croissants or a more healthy alternative like cereals and fruits which may appeal to children. Im don t think it would costs much more than the current egg choices. Besides, the eggdishes were extremely salty and also soggy with cooking oil!! Certainly not good for your health. The SAMRAN Hotel that I last stayed were cheaper and offer better breakfast menu....but I just wanted to try a different location this time around.	Excellent...however, I wish I had been offered hotels of my first choice instead.
nar 2006-12-01 until 2006-12-06	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 Again in this very good hotel. Staff was very friendly. I will be back soon.	Very easy to use the booking service. Get the confirmation fast.
Anthony Auyeung 2006-11-30 until 2006-12-01	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 Clean. Less than 5 minute walk to shopping, restaurants, and skytrain station. Noisy area. 2 cockroaches in my room. 1 very large cockroach in the hotel restaurant. If you don t mind roaches, it s a good budget hotel.
Lionel Parton 2006-10-31 until 2006-11-01	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 Hotel was clean and all accessories worked as planned. Not a 5 star but definately worth the price paid through Sawadee. Just make sure the reservation fax is sent to the hotel in advance. They do not understand computers at all there.	Booking service is 2nd to NONE. Best service I have ever used. I stay in hotels around 150 nites per year, and wish that Sawadee was in the rest of the cities that I travel to.
Lionel Parton 2006-10-29 until 2006-10-31	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 Very good for the price. Great location on Sukumvit.	Best booking service, period. None better that I have found.
Helen 2006-10-21 until 2006-10-23	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 Brilliant little place, clean, nice bathroom, quite basic. Had a room at the back of the hotel - the view was a wall but at least it was quiet. Mini bar prices were cheaper thatthe bar, breakfast was ok, best of all it s right in the middle of all the action & Gullivers is right across the road so you can drop your fella of there to watch the football while you go shopping!!!
Mark Bradshaw 2006-10-01 until 2006-10-02	Bangkok Sahara Hotel, Sukhumvit Road, Soi 05 Not friendly environment for westerners. Extremely BAD service and receptionist was very rude, would never stay again even it was free!!! Could not speak good English and were no help with directions or information.	Good
