Novotel Platinum is pretty new I guess, since all the facilities looks new (including the furniture). It has a modern concept especially with the see-through glass panel shower room. It will be interesting for couples I guess. Most important, it has in room internet (wired). Wireless is also available but signal is weak I feel.
The breakfast is typical international buffet style but with some local food like the soup noodles. Overall, the food is not bad. And my 6 night stay here is comfortable!

Next up is the hotel I stayed for 1 night only for R&R purpose. It near to Novotel and about 10-15 walk for my pace. It is a boutique hotel called "P2 boutique hotel". Booked this hotel since I am on a budget and my package doesn't comes with breakfast so I can't comment on the food.
If you take a cab, the driver might not know how to get in since it is a one way lane to the main road. He will need to make a big detour just to get to the street. So it will be better if the driver drop you at "Soi 33" and you walk in.
They have a massage centre on the 2nd floor and the price is reasonable. It is a clean massage and the masseur skill is good to me. I had a 300baht for an hour of full body massage. I was assigned with a male masseur and he is pretty skilled, I feel relaxed after the session.
As for the hotel, decently furnished and reasonably clean. But the bed seems to be a bit too soft for me and the aircon compressor is just located just outside my window, which can be noisy in the middle of the night. I noticed many youngsters stayed here, it can be noisy if they are not considerate enough. The good thing it has wired and wireless internet.
