which hotel area would be best?

First time to Bangkok - We cant decide between the Rose hotel on Silom close to Patong road or the Somerset Lake Point a bit further out. Can anyone tell us if the rose is a noisy and a real seedy area??? opinions conflict on the reviews. Somerset looks quieter area but not that close to transport but not sure if that would be a real hassle?





Can someone advise which is best?





Also we arrive into Bangkok late at night should we organise a transfer to hotel rather than muck around with taxis at that hour of the night?

Our priority in Bangkok is to be close to the Skytrain.





Save yourself some money and catch a taxi to your hotel. See Most Asked Questions about Bangkok on the top right side of the Bangkok TA Forum.

Tais from the airport are fine at any time, as noted, read the ';Top Bangkok Questions'; for excellent advice and information.





The Somerset is a better hotel than the Rose. The Rose has been modernised but still has a reputation as a place for ';short time'; activities being so close to the red light bars of Patong and Suriwong. On the other hand its a good area for transport and shopping.
