The place and staff were fine when I lived there 2004-2005. Never saw any hidden charges other than the usual higher rate paid in an apartment for electricity and water. No one had problems getting their deposit back if they met the terms of their rental agreement.

Pool is quite nice, food delivery to room is fine and reasonable. On site laundry services, affordable for bangkok.

Stay in the main building, not the one even closer to the highway interchange with no elevator.

Avoid rooms on the highway facing side of the building. Lots of traffic noise and polution and dirt into the rooks from the highway interchange. Pool side is best and quieter. No traffic noise or polutants and dirt and dust.

No private direct line telephones or internet in rooms. TV was ok with a few western programming. but cable/satellite would go out or change very regularly.

Very livable for the price. Semi convenient and not too far out of the way.

Oh and one more question (sorry):

4) What is the security like? Any incidents while you were there?

Thanks for the informative post.

I'm booked for 2 months here and had a few questions I was

hoping you might answer:

1) What was your average monthly Water and Electricity bill?

2) My room is on the 17th floor, not sure what side. From the

pictures I can find of the place, the view should be better from the

highway side, while the pool side might suffer from direct sunlight.

That high up will the pollution and traffic noise be that bad?

3) Are there any street markets in the area?

Thanks in advance!
