The Courtyard by Marriott Bangkok is centrally located, although down a side street, with easy access to the BRT Skytrain. The hotel run a free Tuk Tuk service to the Chit Lom station about 5 minutes away if you don't want to walk, then it's a 30 minute ride to the Chatuchak Markets or anywhere else on the BRT network. We booked an Executive Room and while it was not available when we arrived the friendly reception staff organised for us to wait in the Business Lounge on the 15th floor and notified us when the room was ready. The room itself was on the 12th floor and was a good size with a good sized ensuite, no bath but with a large shower which I like. The bed was large and comfortable and the TV had a good selection of programs in different languages. Being in an Executive Room entitled us to access the Business Lounge and it was more than worth the money, the staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful and with small eats available in the afternoon and happy hour in the evening also featuring an array of eating options and good quality drinks I would strongly recommend the Executive option. We only visited the ground floor cafe (Momos?)once but the staff there were exceptional as well.
Wifi is included in the room price and is very good quality with strong signals everywhere I went in the hotel, this is something that is becoming essential in the cyber world in which we live and I would return to this hotel for the Wifi alone.
We decide on morning tour of the temples with a river cruise and the tour desk and conceirge organised it for us, it turned out to be a private tour with our own guide and transport which explained the higher price but well worth it to avoid the hassle of doing it myself. The conceirge also organised to have a taxi to take us to the BKK airport for $400 Baht which I thought was an excellent price considering it cost double that to get there from DMK airport.
Overall I would like to thank the staff of the Courtyard by the Marriott for making our stay so enjoyable and hassle free and would strongly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Bangkok.
