The Silver Palm - ASQ

• We are allowed to use the balcony (we got 2). We are in a 2 bedrooms suite.
• We got a microwave so we can eat the food when we like or if it’s too cold. But so fare it’s been warm.
• The staff is really friendly and helpful! I asked for more furniture to the balcony and got 2 smaller sun beds in 15minutes. Just had some chairs in the beginning.
• AC in all rooms.
• TV in living room and in one of the bedrooms.
• INTERNET SPEED IS REALLY GOOD!!!

• No real coffee only Nescafé (but we can order real fr 7/11 to make in the room).
• Some noise from a bigger road like 300m away from the hotel...but for being in Bangkok its “pretty quiet”.

So we arrived w Emirates Stockholm-Dubai-Bangkok. Stockholm airport kind of empty. Dubais airport got a lot of people but at least they all wear mask. Very organized at Suvarnabhumi. But make sure you have all your papers. But a lot of staff that helps you and are super friendly.

The silver palm was a bit older and worn out than in the pictures. And unfortunately they have plastic on the sofas and chairs. But understandable. And taken away a lot of stuff from the room so it’s more like a hospital.

We are allowed to order milk from seven Eleven (heard other hotels don’t because it’s dairy products)

We can choose from 2 different dishes at lunch but dinner is same for all.

Breakfast is Thai or English that u can choose from. Adding more pictures...it was pork neck with sticky rice. Nice sauce and a good soup. A bit spicy!

And they provide steal cutlery (spoon and fork) and porcelain plates for your food. Nice not having to eat with plastic forks and plastic plates every day.

• Big balcony open from day one.

• Limited menu

I chose the Silver Palm as it was within my budget and close to family in Bangkok. I wanted a balcony that I could sit out on , this one was definitely big enough for a family to sit on. Rooms were big and furnished with everything I needed. Small kitchen area with fridge-freezer, 2 ring hob and I asked for a microwave which was promptly provided. Sitting area had comfortable sofa and TV, which I was able to plug my firestick into. Wifi seemed stable, only occasionally dropping out so I had to sign back in. No real issues. Bedroom was spacious with plenty of wardrobe space and a very comfortable bed. Food was delicious, service times were not really ideal for me but with the microwave I just reheated when necessary. Menu was a bit limited but portion sizes were generous. Some days I didn't order as I often had items left over. ( I don't like food waste , that's just me ) Being close to family meant my daughter was able to drop items off at the main gate fore me. From my room I could see the main entrance so was able to see my daughter from a distance. Bonus points ! Unfortunately as I was from UK I was only allowed out after second negative result... again , having a big balcony meant I was able to at least go outside. I request a mop so that I could clean the rooms myself ( helped to pass the quarantine time ) but overall cleanliness was very good and staff were very strict with wearing masks and protective clothing.
Again due to being close to main entrance, I was able to see people arriving for check in. Every time without failthe staff followed covid safety guidelines.
Would I stay again ? Yes , definitely.

• Spacious room and balcony.

• Food is not very healthy and often not enough. Tv channels are terrible although advertised as 120 TV channels but mostly Thai informercial channels or Thai channels for a largely foreigner residence in ASQ. Staff are not punctual. They canceled my walks for 2 days after negative test.

Free SIM Card they provided was from DTAC their was well expired before they provided. Beds are not comfortable. Bedsheets are washed with corrosive detergents causing daily allergies.
