Hansar Bangkok

Location: I booked 4stars Hansar for its location as I thought it was located near the 5star hotels like Anantara Siam n St Regis. However it is in fact off the main Erawan shrine Rd n down a side road - not so good if one is a solo traveller walking in late at night. So location does not cut it. Cleanliness: Debatable. My first room had a musky old carpet smell n as the furnishings are dated, things do not look sparkling clean. Service: Good in general and attentive to the issues I had from the first night stay. However I told front desk that asking for THB 2000 security deposit PER DAY stay is not reasonable. Told them to do away with mini bar drinks n snacks n yo lessen the security deposit to xx per stay. Which is what some other hotels do. TV channels: Terrible reception of channels. Blurry images n looks like the TV is on its last legs. In English language, I found CNBC n the BBC. Didn't look further. Both channels blurry n causes eyes to be v tired if watching the news. Amenities: Walls of room which are covered in old grey thai silk which are peppered full of stains here n there n everywhere. I told hotel front desk that they must refresh this aspect. It looks disgusting for the price paid per night. Bathroom n WC are tired looking with visible cracks on the WC n shower floor. My first night shower holder had no rotating shower holder such that I had to hunker down to shampoo hair. The shower trap was also loose causing me to almost cut my big toe as I stepped into the sharp edged crevice. The room door has not internal Security chain lock - this is a no no for solo travellers especially females. Front desk explained that in fact the internal turn lock has an internal lock n if used correctly, the housekeeping cannot enter. My reply is that that is NOT sufficient as there is no confirmation that this internal local works when looking at it from the inside. And when one is alone, how does one test this lock?? I do not recommend this hotel for solo last travellers. Spa on 8th floor n 10th floor: only visited the 8th floor where the pool is located. Spa floor is in my view, the saving grace of hotel. Excellent service from spa. Experienced masseuse - ask for June. Breakfast: reasonably good with choice of fresh fruits n good fresh salad leaves n condiments. Unlimited Ala carte choices are a bit basic but decent. Open air n indoors seating. Breakfast staff are pleasant n attentive. Hansar needs to refresh their rooms n do a thorough QC check on the points I mentioned. DESPITE or inspite of the size of their huge rooms, there are many negative QC issues which management must see to immediately.
