| said: This was the second time we had visited the Rembrandt so knew what to expect. We were not disapointed. On this occasion we travelled with my parents in law and my wifes brother and sister. They were blown away with the views from their room and the friendliness of the staff.
The location is very close to Sukhumvit Road. Very good for the ladies who like to shop but not so good for those holding the purse strings! No, that is a bit unfair. The night market is great fun and you really can get a bargain. JUST WATCH YOUR BAGGAGE WEIGHT LIMITS, it is so easy to get carried away.
The Skytrain which goes along Sukhumvit Road has a station conveniently close to the hotel and offers very inexpensive, fast, airconditioned travel around the city.
The food at the hotel is very well presented as you would expect from such a hotel but compared to eating out is comparatively expensive.

| said: The hotel is in a great location close to Sukumvit and a few minutes walk from the sky train and the local train service. We stayed in the cheapest room which was clean, comfortable and spacious, had cable TV and minibar. It was everything that we expected of a world class hotel. The staff are friendly and welcoming, we arrived at eight thirty in the morning and were given a free drink in the lobby bar while we waited for our room which was available by nine thirty.
We booked the hotel via the Rembrandt Hotel website and were given a rate of $US70 per night although you have to add seven percent tax and ten percent service to this. If you attempt to book for further nights at reception you are quoted twice this rate, so we went to the internet cafe around the corner and booked our extra nights from there. One drawback of staying at the Rembrandt is that you can only get wireless internet in the lobby and in the more expensive rooms and it is expensive. If you come out of the hotel and turn left there is an excellent internet cafe with friendly staff a few shops along the road.
There is a limo service available to and from the airport in brand new BMW 5 series cars for 1100 baht. However it is just as easy to get a taxi which costs 400 baht. Make sure that you go to the official taxi desk at the airport and buy a voucher, you don't want to end up in one of the unlicensed taxis that ply their trade in the terminal building. Also don't take one of the taxis that wait outside the hotel they are cheap but they are unlicensed and consequently uninsured. The concierge will arrange a licensed taxi for you at no extra charge.
One bonus for us was that the hotel looked after our bags containing our winter clothes for six weeks while we travelled around the country.
