Novotel Bangkok Bangna is an ideal place to work and rest, has restaurants that provide delicious food, and is easy to access.
If you stayed at Novotel hotels before, you will feel familiar as they all provide standardized services.
At the time of writing, the BTS Yellow Line (Srinakarin) was not open for service yet. When it becomes operational, this hotel is located very close to the train station.
The room rate is approximately 1,500 baht per night. Price comparisons should be made first.

Location
Novotel Bangkok Bangna is also located not far from shopping malls such as Mega Bangna, Secon Square, and the BITEC Exhibition Center. However, these malls cannot be reached by walking. A bus is highly recommended.
The hotel is about 30 minutes (20 kilometers) from Suvarnabhumi Airport and is a good option for anyone who needs to travel by air.

Executive Room King Bed
Cleanliness
Very clean, where even no dust can be found in the cabinet.
Sleeping Experience
King size mattress, with just the right firmness, not too soft nor too hard. The pillows are firm, and they provide several pillows to choose from. Warm blanket. Very quiet room.
Highly recommended for people who have difficulty sleeping like myself, where I was able to sleep soundly.
Bathroom
Consisted of glass walls with curtains. Not too large, but well segmented. Comes a typical shower head, as well as, a rain shower.
We stayed on the 10th floor and the water pressure was strong. The warm water works well.
Work Desk
Wide table and comfortable chair. However, the work desk was placed exactly in the path of the A/C air flow, making it very cold.
Internet
Fast and strong signal. Conducive to playing online games
Breakfast
Standard hotel breakfast, with various types of egg menu items, sausages, ham, simple pre-cooked food, such as stir-fried vegetables or fried chicken, salad, bread, and a choice of different types of fresh coffee.
