What guests say about the pool
In their own words
To cap it all, having moved from the Sofitel due to pool renovations which I was not told about, by the way the So pool is average, and having paid for my room and a deposit up front on arrival I was charged the full room rate again on departure.
What I enjoyed was the fitness corner and the infinity pool. Unfortunately it wasn't heated so the water temperature was chilling. Nothing to dampen my spirits though, as the view of the park across was great.
The SO/ Bangkok is most famous for its incredible infinity pool which offers panoramic views of the Bangkok skyline.
