Remark from Avana
David Noble 2007-08-30 until 2007-08-31 
Quite basic but ok for an overnight stop it is 30 minutes by taxi from the airport cost 600 bath quite a long way from the centre of town if you are plannig to use it as a base for the city. Rooms are reasonably large and breakfasts ok

The hotel was fine but a little worn down. It was listed as being close to the international airport but it was around 30 minutes away so not quite as close as we would have liked.
Please be sure that our reception change the room for you for such problem

Very cheap hotel, we used it for our first day in Bangkok, and it is cheap and resonable service

Exactly what we expected. 1/2 hour drive from the airport, basic breakfast, clean. recommended if arriving late in bangkok and intend to fly out next morning.

Nice big room. Not that close to the airport but I knew that. Much cheaper than the hotel right near the airport. 
 
Chaowana Kruse 2007-06-20 until 2007-06-21 
Nice, clean, comfortable and very reasonabel pirce for all their service. From the new airport, take about 20 min but can be up to 30 min, if traffic jam. Very good if you like to take a break after or before long fly. Very close to big shoping center, that have so many good reataurants and wonderful spa! I will come back to Avana for sure, when I visit Bangkok next time!
Safe and easy!

We booked the standard room for 1.100 baht which was fine for the price. Nothing special and the hotel is really far from everything but really acceptable for what we paid for. We checked out early therefore cannot comment on the breakfast. The restaurant was nice and cheap, very friendly people that spoke English well. It took us 1 hour from the old airport to the hotel but the fare was reasonable - 450 baht fixed price from the airport. The new airport was only 20 min. at 05:00 in the morning with the hotel shuttle (150 baht/person). Taxi could have been cheaper but maybe less reliable. Nothing much to do in the area, the hotel is way off; but food in the hotel was good and we needed to stay only for a night to go back home the next morning. Minimart and Coffee shop on site was a plus, there is a pool as well, even massage for a good price. All in all we were satisfied for the money we spend. 
Booking was very easy online using a credit card. Confirmation was send immediately - nice service. Back home we missing Thailand already a lot!!!

The hotel is just 30min drive from the airport and is good enough to spend a night while waiting the next fly to some local destination. Staff is friendly and speack quite good english. I ll stay here again if needed. 
Easy, safe and fast. It was my first time and didn t find any problem. I will use it again. 

Myles Johnson 2007-04-26 until 2007-04-27 
decent place for the price. one small problem -- booked a twin room but got a double. i had a copy of my paper saying i had reserved a twin so they moved an extra bed into the room for no extra charge. no restaurants near the hotel, but hotel restaurant was pretty good and decent breakfast too. 
good as always, but i d recommend contacting the hotel directly once you ve made the reservation just to confirm the details and any special requests.

We stayed in this hotel for one night for travelling next morning to the airport. The hotel is for one night ok. Nothing arround the hotel. Good pool and restaurant. The hotel offers a shuttle bus at 5.00 am, 7.00 am and 9.00 am to the airport for 150 baht/person. Other times will cost 600 Baht/car, so than it is better to take a taximeter. Transfertime 30 Minutes 
 
Erin Gappmayer 2007-04-03 until 2007-04-04 
Nice hotel, comfortable bed. Shuttle bus available to the airport as early as 5am only costs 150 Baht. Had a swimming pool and massage parlor but we did not have time to visit them. 60 Baht took us to the closest Skytrain station so it is out of the way but easy to get into the city as well.

The Avana is a good choice near the new airport in Bangkok. The staff are very helpful and friendly and as I was leaving too early in a.m. for breakfast, they packed me a sandwich. Also a lovely pool where you can enjoy a light meal. I would definitely recommend. 
Sawadee does a fantastic job. Very efficient. Highly recommended. 
Ditte Dirksen 2007-03-14 until 2007-03-15
We spent there one night at arrival and one night when we were leaving because it is close to the airport. Big clean room and bathroom. Nice swimming pool and good pool restaurant. You can order a taxi by meter that is cheaper then the shuttle bus. 
Quick and helpfull. No problems at all. Would book via Sawadee again!
Marin 2007-03-10 until 2007-03-11 
Big hotel with a nice swimming pool and a good restaurant. Rooms are clean. There is a shuttle for the airport for 150 baths per person. It is not far from the airport and near a shopping center. 
No problem at all 

Roussel Patrick 2007-02-12 until 2007-02-13
We spent only one night in Avana hotel between 2 flights. The hotel is not too far from the Airport (30 km) and there is no traffic jam. Cost of taxi meter was 300 baht (one way). The room and the facilities are good but the the restaurant is so so. 
Excellent 

Anindo Roy 2007-01-21 until 2007-01-22 
The hotel rooms are nice and clean and service is good. This is great hotel for using in transit. It is about 40 minutes from Sawarnabhumi airport.
We booked our reservation using Sawadee and the whole process was very smooth and trouble free. Also the agents helping with the reservation are very prompt answering queries through email.

Khambay Thirakoun 2007-01-17 until 2007-01-19
Overall, it was decent value with average room and good breakfast. 
Smooth as always. 

Shirley Hodges 2007-01-16 until 2007-01-17 
We stayed only one night but found this to be a great place to stay. It was vey comfortable and convenient for the airport without being expensive. We had an early flight and were provided with a snack when we checked out which was excellent. There was also a small shop in the foyer. I would stay here again
Excellent 

Dagfinn rimestad 2007-01-10 until 2007-01-13 
Hotel was good value for money, nice clean rooms , lots of small things for free in room, but we suffered from cold water in the shower, we stayed three days but only one day had good and warm water. We tried to complain but we only had the answer to wait for hot water to come. If you were late for breakfast the food was cold, freid eggs were cold, they were out of different kinds of vegetables and they did not know what kind of juices there were in the mugs , but hotel good value for money , near airport and not too far from sku train to the city
Excellent as always
Nicola Furniss 2007-01-06 until 2007-01-07 
I stayed at the Avana 3 times between the end of December and the beginning of January and all 3 times it was perfect as a quick overnight stop before heading back to the airport the next day. The staff are friendly and the rooms comfortable and clean (although the hot water isn t always very hot). All three mornings I left before 4am, so I was unable to benefit from the free breakfast but was given a free drink and cake voucher for the coffee shop to make up for it. Both check in and check out were quick and painless. I will definitely stay here again should I find myself with an overnight connection at the new Bangkok airport. 
 
Lorraine Smith 2007-01-04 until 2007-01-05 
Not as near the airport as the internet stuff leads you to believe-We booked a taxi at the public taxi rank at the iarport to take us there, expecting a short 3 K trip- it cost us 300 bhats and took ages- the taxi driver did not appear to know ehere it was and to be honest you may as well go into town if that is your detination anyway. Hotel itself OK- but dear for what you got and the location- buffet breakfast not up to much. 
Excellent 
Linda Dellst 2006-12-30 until 2006-12-31 
Very good, near the air port, friendly staf. Good one night stop hotell in Bangkok. 
excellent 
Matthew Craddock 2006-12-23 until 2006-12-24 
We were really pleased with this hotel , we had one very short night in Bangkok so didnt want to travel to the centre and the only hotel in the new airport is really expensive. Depending on traffic the hotel is about 1/2 an hour or 200 baht (meter taxi) from airport. Everything was handled wonderfully and the room was very large clean and had complementary tea and coffee in the room . Wou;ld definitely stay again 
 
Michel Dinh 2006-11-21 until 2006-11-22 
This hotel was a good choice for us as we had to catch an early flight back and did not want to go all the way to central Bangkok. The taxi fare from the airport to the hotel was reasonable for us (THB 250 + 50 (toll fee) + 50 (service charge for using taxi desk). It would have taken us around 35 minutes had the driver knew where the hotel was. The hotel is just a standard hotel with basic facilities. We booked a special suite room and although spacious with a separate bedroom and living/dining room the room was nothing special. We would go for a standard room next time. We had to check out before breakfast time so we asked for a breakfast box (basically just a sandwich). The staff was friendly. The hotel is also near the Central shopping mall with a good supermarket in the basement for last minute shopping and dinner. The hotel offers a shuttle service to the airport from 5am at THB 150 per person. We would use this hotel again if we had to do the same thing (i.e. have somewhere to crash for one night near the airport). I would recommend you to print out the directions to the hotel from the hotel s web site. The directions are written in both English and Thai. Show the directions to the taxi driver as soon as you get in the taxi. Not all of them know where it is. 
Excellent service as usual!

just spend there a night on the way to Camodia. We arrived late in the evening and left next day early in the morning... so far everything was nice! The hotel is not far away from the new airport and they offer a transfer for 150 Bath pP. Rooms and Restaurant okay and god value for the money! 
brilliant! Again, if the price is also perfect =)

  All comments are welcome, please feel free to email/send your comment directly to hotel manager and management (mail@avanahotel.com), we would be glad and greatly appreciate your time and effort
