<br />
After a beach holiday in Hua Hin I had booked a room for one night at Anantara Siam in Bangkok. I wanted to try a new hotel and this would be our second Anantara experience on this trip after checking out their sister property <a href="https://finnatcotravels.blogspot.com/2018/10/hotel-review-anantara-riverside-resort.html">Anantara Riverside Resort</a> about a week earlier.<br />
<br />
This time I booked a Kasara Club Room directly from the hotel's website. The price was pretty much the same everywhere, but booking directly got us an afternoon tea set for two at the lobby for free, and that sounded like a fun thing to try.<br />

Our bags were immediately taken care of by the welcoming staff, and we were seen to the most luxurious lobby I'd ever seen. This really looked like a five star hotel to me! The hotel radiated elegance and style, and there were gorgeous floral arrangements near the entrance.<br />

I approached the counter and presented our booking details as my family took a look at the lobby.<br />
After a moment the receptionist escorted us to the Kasara Executive Lounge for a more private check-in.<br />

Kasara Lounge has been renovated only a few years ago and it looked very classy. It was nice and peaceful, but still cozy. We were offered coffee and tea while our check-in was processed, and soon everything was in order. The friendly associate told us that we were upgraded to a Junior Suite, and she showed us the way to the room.<br />

The Junior Suite/Siam Suite is 72sqm in size, so size-wise it's quite a step up from a Kasara Club room which is 42sqm. Even that would have been big enough for our family of three, but of course we didn't mind an upgrade to a suite :)<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">The main buffet is extensive, but I think it suffers a bit for being too cramped and spread through different areas. </span><span style="background-color: white;">This weakens the overall experience, which otherwise is quite good. Service was attentive and we got a seat next to the pond.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br /><br /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">The buffet spread is great, and of high quality. Lots of hot items and also Thai salads like Larb Gai and Somtum! There were some interesting juice options, too. The egg station has a nice menu, although the omelet was slightly dry.</span></span><br />

The location is very very good - in the center with walking distance to Erawan Shrine, CentralWorld mall, Ratchadamri BTS (Silom Line) stop. It's also an easy walk to Chit Lom BTS stop (Sukhumvit Line), so you're well connected if you want to avoid being in a traffic jam.<br />
<br />
There are a few other quality hotels close-by, such as St. Regis, Waldorf Astoria, Grand Hyatt Erawan, Intercontinental, Renaissance Ratchaprasong, Centara Grand.<br />
<br />
It's tough to beat this hotel for location.<br />

<br />
<br />
We had a very nice one night stay at Anantara Siam Bangkok. Service was good, the Kasara Lounge tranquil and classy, and a great location for being in the thick of things.<br />
<br />
We really enjoyed the suite, the splendid afternoon tea, and a tasty breakfast. The rooms are quite expensive for Bangkok, but then you're in for a stylish and luxurious experience.<br />

Introduction</span></span></div>
</h3>
<div>
<br />
<br />
After reading lots of reviews and contemplating on the price, quality and location, I opted to book a Deluxe room with breakfast for one night at Anantara Riverside, and this turned out to be a good choice: Anantara Riverside Resort is now perhaps our favorite 5 star hotel in Bangkok so far!<br />
<br />
Comparing prices I chose to book the room via Orbitz.com. The hotel belongs to Orbitz VIP properties, so as an Orbitz Platinum member there were to be an extra perk. After booking that turned out to be 25% off Spa service (per day).<br />
<br />
In addition I had subsrcibed to Business Traveller magazine, which included GHA Platinum membership. Anantara belongs to GHA, so I thought I would see if it gave me anything extra. Usually it's not much use if you don't book via hotel directly...</div>

Our Finnair flight from Helsinki arrived at about 7.15am, and after the usual formalities we were out with our luggage at around 8 o'clock. I had booked transportation via Oriental Escape, and we were greeted by their representative after a few minutes of walking and searching around the arrivals area.<br />
<br />
The cost for a Luxury SUV for our family was 1300THB to the hotel, which is fair enough, although of course a normal taxi would have been less that half of that.<br />
<br />
The journey took about an hour in the morning traffic, and we arrived shortly after 9am.<br />

Our bags were taken care of by staff and Ms. Amy greeted us warmly and took our daughter's hand as we were escorted in to the lobby for the check-in. Herbal tea was offered and I took a look at the lobby, which was very beautiful in Thai style. The ambiance was relaxed and pretty. I liked this place immediately! The personnel were stylish and friendly, in just the right way.<br />

It took a few moments to check in, and after waiting for about 10 minutes we were informed our room was ready. A wonderful surprise since we were checking in so early! And as it turned out, we were upgraded to a Junior Suite.<br />
<br />
An associate took us to our room and we had a look at the hotel on the way.<br />
<br />
As the name suggests, this is more of a resort than a hotel, and it really shows. The resort area is actually quite big and very tranquil, thanks partly to the fact that the river runs next to it. It was great to be in the middle of a bustling city, yet in peace and quiet. The grounds were well cared for and some repair work was done at the time. There was a little bit of construction noise in the morning, otherwise none whatsoever.<br />

Our room was located on the second floor in a corner. Unfortunately it was raining a lot at the time so the pictures are a little dark.<br />
<br />
The room had windows to two sides (garden views), and a balcony behind them. Spotlessly clean, serene and beautiful. There's the same vibe in the room as in the resort: calm, relaxed but elegant in a Thai style.<br />

The bathroom was neat, not huge but definitely sufficient in size. It's nice to have a possibility for a bath, even though there wasn't much time for that during our short stay. Shower gel and shampoo are not in plastic bottles, so kudos to the hotel for a more nature-friendly approach!<br />
<br />
Air conditioning worked well and we didn't have to touch it during the visit.<br />
<br />
The beds were very comfortable and big enough for two adults and a child. I could have opted for an extra bed when making the reservation, but thought that the twin beds should be big enough for us. And fortunately they were, saving us some money on the way :)<br />

A buffet breakfast is served at The Market restaurant on the ground level from 6am until 10.30am. It was busy when we arrived (at around 9am), and there were tables both inside and outside, almost all of which were taken. The items are spread on quite a big area, which is actually good in a way because everyone's not stuck in the same place creating a huge mess.<br />
<br />
The buffet spread was big. What impressed me the most was the number of hot items and live cooking stations. This was really something that set this breakfast apart from some of the competition.<br />
<br />
Staff were nice and efficient, and kindly made a big effort to find us some fresh lime, when I happened to ask if there was some. Coffee and tea were served to the table.<br />
<br />
I enjoyed the many different juices available, some of which were in small bottles.<br />

There were salad ingredients, bread and croissants, American pancakes, an egg station, Chinese and Japanese dishes, noodles and soup. Absolutely wonderful!<br />
<br />
It's not always the amount of dishes that counts, but quality. And I had absolutely no complaints, everything looked fresh and and tasted good. I wish I had had a bigger appetite! What a way to start the morning.<br />

I booked my wife a Spa treatment, and we joined her to see the place. It looked gorgeous!<br />
Even though I wasn't coming in for a treatment, I was offered a beverage and a cool towel.<br />
<br />
My wife said later on that the massage experience was probably the best she'd ever had. The surroundings, atmosphere and quality of treatment were world class. Well done Anantara!<br />

<br />
<br />
The location of the hotel is a bit of a mixed bag:<br />
On one hand it's great - next to the river in a calm environment with a shuttle boat to Saphan Taksin and Asiatique. On the other hand, you're bound to spend some time going through the city if you're heading for example to some of the bigger shopping centers along Sukhumvit Road.<br />
<br />
I guess it all boils down to what your preferences are. If you're looking for a high quality resort-like accommodation for your Bangkok stay, Anantara Riverside is a must. You really can't find any other hotel like this in Bangkok. It feels like you're in an oasis far from the city, and still you're only a short way from the action.<br />
<br />
We took the resort boat to Asiatique night market, where we enjoyed a little stroll and ate some fresh roti. The shuttle boat ride was nice and we had a good time looking at city lights in the evening :)<br />

<br />
<br />
We had a <i>great</i> one night stay at Anantara Riverside Bangkok. Service was impeccable, the resort surroundings beautiful and everything just worked flawlessly. Breakfast was superb and Spa exquisite.<br />
<br />
There's so much to like here. It's not your dull everyday chain hotel, but a charming and lovely vacation spot in itself. I'm quite sure we will return if/when we travel to Bangkok again!<br />
<i>Highly recommended!</i><br />

<br />
I decided on trying out the Continent Hotel due to a friend's suggestion, and as I took a closer look at the hotel information and reviews, I wanted to give it a shot.<br />
<br />
As I went through different booking portals, I also contacted the hotel directly and got a decent offer for a two-night stay in a room with what they call "Sky benefits", or like some other hotels have it: "Club/Executive product". I was very pleasantly surprised about how good, friendly and fast the communication was with them. My booking included a round-trip airport transfer with the hotel's own car, which I appreciated.</div>

I took a Qatar Airways flight to Bangkok, and QR834 arrived in Suvarnabhumi airport at about 12.30, and it took about an hour to walk from the gate, clear the immigration and retrieve the luggage.<br />
<br />
Hotel's representative was waiting at the B-exit and asked me to wait for a few minutes. Then she took me to the vehicle waiting outside and I found out there were no others joining me this time so I had plenty of space in the minibus. It was clean, nice and spacious with complimentary water which is always great in a hot and humid city.<br />

We arrived rather soon to the hotel since traffic wasn't too heavy. Saturday to blame I guess :)<br />
<br />
My bags were taken care of by staff and I was escorted in to a lobby for the check-in. Some juice was offered and I took a look at the lobby, which was quite pleasant although very small. There is a section for guests who have booked a room with Sky benefits, and in the small corner bar you can get soft drinks, coffee etc - free for Sky guests. There are magazines to read in case you need to kill some time in the lobby.<br />

The Sky rooms are located on levels 22-32, and I was assigned room 3105 on the 31st floor.<br />
There aren't many rooms per floor so the hotels facade makes an impression of a big establishment, but it's quite deceiving actually. It doesn't feel massive at all. There are only two lifts, but it seemed to be enough even though the hotel was quite full when I arrived.<br />
<br />
So, back the room. You get all the basic stuff like a wardrobe, a safety deposit box, minibar, WiFi etc.<br />
In case you book a Continent Sky room, the minibar is free as well.<br />
<br />
There was a fruit platter waiting in the room when I arrived, and a few complimentary bottles of water.<br />

The bathroom was light and quite spacious, and I liked havaing the bathtub next to the window. I couldn't get very hot water but sufficient for a bath anyway. Water pressure from the shower wasn't top notch either but it is a minor complaint.<br />
<br />
Theos brand bathroom amenities were present, and I liked the scent a lot!<br />

There's an air conditioning unit with a controller, but I guess it was a little old already, since I had a hard time trying to get it react to the buttons. That's not too big an issue, but the real problem was that the unit was rather close to bed and pointing towards it. On the second night I switched the whole unit off so that I wouldn't catch a cold due to the cool blow.<br />
<br />
The double bed was comfortable and obviously big enough for one person. There are big windows towards Sukhumvit road, and from the high floors you do get a nice view of Bangkok. There is a BTS Skytrain line that goes along Sukhumvit road, and the traffic can be heavy at times, so expect some noise in the room. If you're a light sleeper, I suggest ear plugs since it not silent in the room.<br />

Sky Lounge is located on the 38th floor. Free beverages and snacks are included in the Sky benefits.<br />
The lounge is open from 6am until 10pm, and breakfast can be had until 11am.<br />
In the evening there's a happy hour form 5pm to 7pm when there are cocktails, wines and beer available as well as different things to eat. On the first evening there was lasagne, pasta, steamed rice with some Thai food, fruits, a few desserts and small sandwiches.<br />
You could have easily stuffed yourself with it, but I held back, trying to save some space for dining in the close-by Terminal21 shopping mall's food court.<br />

During the happy hour you could have a drink menu upon request. I guess it wouldn't hurt to have it on display on every table since the lounge is rather small and there aren't that many tables there anyway.<br />

I found the staff to be quite friendly, although their English left a bit to be desired. I.e. when asking about the laundry services included in the Sky benefits I got a reply half in Thai, half in what I guess was English. But never mind, you're bound to run into language barrier in Bangkok at some point.<br />

A buffet breakfast is served in Medinii Restaurant on the 35th floor from 6am until 10.30am. A lighter breakfast spread with less choice is served in the Sky Lounge, but there is also an added a la carte menu you can order from.<br />
<br />
There seemed to be enough seating even though the hotel was operating near full capacity. In the right corner there is also a designated area for Sky guests, which is more private. The downside is that you might have to wait for staff to come over. On the second morning there I had to wait quite a bit before anyone came there and they weren't too proactive in asking for hot drink preferences.<br />
<br />
The buffet spread is obviously much larger in the Medinii, but on the other hand you'll get a more exclusive, calmer atmosphere and better service in the Sky Lounge.<br />

The buffet consisted of salad ingredients, bread and croissants, waffles and pancakes, an egg station and warm dishes - especially the Thai dishes were really tasty!<br />
<br />
There were also fruits, yoghurt, muesli and a few kinds of juices. I think there were enough choices for a two-day visit, even for a bit longer one. While there wasn't an incredible spread like in some more lavish Thai hotels, this was good enough and what's most important, the quality seemed fine.<br />

A smaller buffet was available in the Sky Lounge, and you could also order some eggs and omelets from an a la carte menu. I tried one from the menu, and was quite happy with it. The ingredients were fresh and tasty, and presentation was nice.<br />

The area is small, but quite unique with an incredible view. There are only a handful of sun loungers (7-8?), and four of those are under a semi-shielding canvas. You can get towels from a basket so no need to carry one from your room.<br />
<br />
There's an honesty bar which was sometimes manned by one of the staff.<br />

You'll find a gym called O2 on the 36th floor. As you can expect, it's a novelty to do a little workout with a view like that. The gym itself is very small. There's an exercise bike, treadmills and some free weights but that's about it. You can definitely get something done, but for a serious sports enthusiast it may not be good enough.<br />

I really liked the location of this hotel. Being so close to Asok BTS station is great, and there's a large Terminal21 shopping mall just across the road (not Sukhumvit) with a lovely, cheap food court on the 6th floor. There are lots of different shops and services scattered around Sukhumvit Road close to the hotel, such as 7 Elevens, Dahra Spa etc. With the BTS you're only a few stops from Siam Square with many malls and you'll be able to avoid the sometimes dreadful traffic along Sukhumvit.<br />
<br />
Upon checking out I ran into a problem I was half expecting. See, I had told earlier - when checking in that is - that I would be going to another hotel after checking out of the Continent Hotel. Then I asked if I could have the complimentary return transportation from that hotel to the airport. That did cause a little confusion and the person taking care of the check-in wasn't that proficient in English... she said that would be OK, but I felt she wasn't completely sure of what was happening. So, when I checked out, I was told that it wouldn't be possible to have the transportation from another hotel but for "a compensation" I would get the hotel's own car to take me to the next hotel. This wasn't a big surprise, but a bit of a disappointment anyway since I did give some value to the comfortable transportation to the Suvarnabhumi airport which is about a 35min drive away. It's not a big deal per se, but I just don't like that a customer is promised something that won't be honored later on.<br />
<br />
The service was OK. I was a little surprised it wasn't more than that. This hotel charges a premium and I would have expected the service to be up to the price tag. The staff weren't particularly friendly or smiling.<br />
From all the hotels I've visited in Thailand this was the low point. Perhaps it only reflects the overall good standard of service, because I can not honestly say that the service in The Continent Hotel was <i>bad</i>. It just didn't give any sort of a memorable experience.<br />
<br />
The selling points for this hotel are the location, and an intimate and quaint "boutique style" atmosphere.<br />
The Sky Lounge was cosy and quiet, and the serving rather good.<br />
<br />
There is room for improvement concerning service and friendliness, and the competition is rather hard in this price category in Bangkok. Hence I would really put emphasis on improving service for the hotel to be able to stand out in a positive way.<br />
<br />
If you're able to get a bargain on the room, it's a good choice, especially if you're not into big chain hotels.<br />

Päädyin miettimään Continent -hotellia majoitusvaihtoehtona erään tuttavan suosituksesta, ja netin kautta siihen tutustuessani paikka vaikutti oikein kelvolliselta.
Vertaillessani hintoja huomasin hotellin omilta sivuilta kohtuullisen hyvän tarjouksen, ja olin sinne
yhteydessä suoraan. Yhteydenottoni vastattiin erittäin ystävällisesti ja nopeasti, joten alku oli
todella lupaava. Vähintään kahden yön varaukseen hotellin omilta sivuilta sai ilmaisen
menopaluukyydin lentokentälle - rahanarvoinen etu tuokin.<br />
<br />
Continent Hotel sijaitsee varsin hyvällä paikalla Sukhumvit -kadun varrella, hyvin lähellä Asok
BTS-asemaa. Todella lähellä on myös suuri ostoskeskus Terminal21, jonka palveluja käytin ruokailun suhteen (6. kerroksen food court - edullinen ja hyvä!)

Qatar Airwaysin lento 834 saapui Suvarnabhumin kentälle n. 12.30, ja maahantulomuodollisuuksien sekä laukun
noutamisen jälkeen kello oli n. 13.30.
Hotellin edustaja oli vastassa B-exitin kohdalla, ja pyysi odottamaan muutaman minuutin.
Aika pian siitä lähdimmekin ja hän opasti minut hotellin minibussiin, jossa kuljettaja auttoi
laukun takakonttiin ja pääsimme matkaan. Auto oli todella siisti ja tilava, ja kuski ajoi
oikein maltillisesti.<br />

Saavuimme hotellille yllättävän pian, ruuhkaa ei onneksi ollut matkalla.
Portieeri otti heti laukun hoitaakseen ja opasti tiskille, jossa sain tsekattua sisään.
Janoiselle matkaajalle tarjottiin myös lasi mehua. Aula on sangen pieni ja hotellin yleiseen
linjaan sopivasti tummansävyinen. Pieni kulmabaari löytyy myös mikäli virvokkeille kaipaa.
Huone oli onneksi valmiina, vaikka olinkin hieman standardia aiemmin kirjautumassa.

Sky -huoneet sijaitsevat ylimmissä kerroksissa, ja meikäläisen asumus oli tällä kertaa kerroksessa 31. Kerroksessa ei montaa huonetta ole, joten hotelli on oikeastaan paljonkin pienempi mitä aluksi kuvittelin - kerrosluku hämää, ja antaa vaikutelman kovinkin massiivisesta paikasta. Hotellissa on vain kaksi hissiä, mikä tuntui oikeastaan melko kohtuulliselta ottaen huomioon huoneiden lukumäärän. Aamiaisaikaan saattaa pienen hetken joutua odottamaan, vaan niin se tuppaa olemaan joka paikassa.<br />
<br />
Huoneesta löytyy kaikki perustarvikkeet, kuten tallelokero, kylpytakit ja maksullinen minibaari. Tietyissä huonetyypeissä minibaari on maksuton, mutta tässä kyseisessä huonetyypissä ei.<br />

Kylpyhuone on siisti ja valoisa, amme on ikkunan ääressä joten näkymiä kelpaa ihailla kylpiessä. Vesi nyt ei ollut ihan tulikuumaa, kelvollista kumminkin. Suihkun vedenpaine ei myöskään ollut kaikista huikein mutta riittävä.
<br />
<br />
Kylpytuotteet ovat Theos-brändiä, ja meikäläisen nenään todella miellyttäviä.

Ilmastointilaitteen säädin oli helppokäyttöinen, mutta sitä sai kyllä survoa kunnolla, että reagoi painalluksiin. Ehkä vielä huonompi juttu oli se, että ilmasointilaite puhalsi suoraan sänkyä kohti, joten toisena yönä otin laitteen pois päältä kokonaan.<br />
<br />
Parisänky oli suuri ja varsin mukavantuntuinen. Suurten ikkunoiden eteen saa kunnon verhot joten aamulla ei tarvitse valon määrään herätä. Hotellin vieressä kulkevan BTS- linjan äänet sen sijaan kuuluvat huoneeseen, herkkäunisimpia saattaa häiritäkin.<br />

Sky Lounge on hotellin 38. kerroksessa ja Sky -huoneiden sekä sviittiin majoittuvien käytössä. Lounge on avoinna klo 06.00-22, ja siellä on tarjolla aamiaista klo 11 asti, ja juotavaa pitkin päivää. Illalla klo 17.00-19.00 on happy hour, jolloin saatavilla on myös cocktaileja, viiniä, olutta ja pientä syötävää.<br />
<br />
Tämä pieni syötävä oli ensimmäisenä iltana: lasagnea, pastaa, riisiä ja jotain nimetöntä mutta maukasta thairuokaa, sekä hedelmiä, paria eri jälkiruokaa ja voileipäkolmioita. Noilla antimilla olisi toki syönyt itsensä vaikka täyteen, mutta säästelin mieluusti ruokahalua illan muihin ruokakoitoksiin.<br />

Drinkkilista oli saatavilla pyydettäessä. Eipä haittaisi, vaikka se olisi esillä vaikka joka pöydässä - pöytiä on kuitenkin loungessa sen verran vähän. Listassa oli joitain perusdrinkkejä, kuten Tom Collins, Screwdriver, Gin Fizz, Daiquiri. Valikoimissa on puna- ja valkoviini sekä olut.<br />

Buffetaamiainen tarjoillaan Medinii-ravintolassa (kerros 35). klo 06.00-10.30, ja kevyempi mannermainen aamiainen on Sky-huoneiden asiakkaille toinen vaihtoehto Loungen rauhassa. Mediniin buffet on kattavuudeltaan eri luokkaa, mutta palvelu on kyllä nopeampaa ja henkilökohtaisempaa Loungessa, kuten odottaa sopii. Toisena aamuna Mediniissä piti aika pitkään odotella ja toivoa, että joku tulisi kysymään kahvi- tai teetoiveista, ja kun ei kuulunut, piti mennä nykimään henkilökuntaa hihasta. Sky -huoneiden asiakkaille oli muutama pöytä erikseen omassa huoneessa, joka oli hieman rauhallisempi miljöö ruokailla, mutta toisaalta henkilökunta ei tuntunut eksyvän sinne kovin usein.<br />

Medinii -ravintolassa tarjottava aamiainen sisälsi salaattitarpeita, lämpimiä ruokia - erityisesti thairuuat olivat maukkaita - ja omelettipisteen, ja joitain leipiä, croissanteja ja vohveleita tai amerikkalaisia pannareita.<br />
<br />
Hedelmiä, jugurttia ja myslejä sekä leipää löytyi myös joten aamiainen oli ihan riittävän kattava parin päivän visiitille. Mikäli haluaa elää aamiaisaikaan aivan viimeisen päälle herroiksi, joutuu kyllä valitsemaan toisen hotellin. Thaimaassa on monessa majapaikassa satsattu todella suureen aamiaisbuffettiin. Toki tämä hotelli on pienehkö ja boutique-tyylinen, ja tilakin asettaa omat rajoituksensa valikoimaan, se on syytä muistaa, Onneksi tarjonta kuitenkin tuntui laadukkaalta, mikä on toki lähtökohta jokaiselle hyvälle aamupalalle.<br />

Loungessa oli esillä pieni buffet, ja halutessaan sai tilata listalta erityyppisiä kanamuna-annoksia. Kokeilin toisena aamuna yhtä, joka olikin varsin hyvä ja pantu kauniisti esille.<br />

Allasalue on aika pieni, mutta näköalat ovat melkoiset: allas nimittäin sijaitsee kerroksessa 37, aika lailla suoraan loungen alapuolella.<br />

Aurinkotuoleja oli ehkä seitsemän, ja neljä niistä oli puolipeittävän katoksen alla. Allaspyyhkeitä sai korista, ja vieressä oli baari, joka toimi periaatteella ota ja maksa itse omantunnon mukaan.<br />

Kuntosali kuului hotellin palveluihin, ja piti se käydä koeajamassa. Näköalat olivat asialliset kerroksesta 36. Sali itse on kyllä todella pieni. Muutamia juoksumattoja, kuntopyöriä, jokuset käsipainot ja yksi monitoimilaite. Kyllä noillakin toki hien saa pintaan, mutta vaativalle treenaajalle eivät välttämättä riitä.<br />

Sijanti on Bangkokissa aika merkittävä tekijä toki riippuen siitä, haluaako köllötellä<br />
hotellilla vai lähteä kiertämään kaupunkia. The Continent on sijainniltaan hyvä. Hotellin<br />
vierestä pääsee suoraan Asokin BTS-pysäkille, ja tien toisella puolella on Terminal21 -<br />
ostoskeskus, jossa on mitä mainioin ja edullinen food court Pier21 kerroksessa 6.<br />
BTS:n Sukhumvit-linja tosiaan kulkee hotellin vierestä osin Sukhumvit -nimistä suurta tietä<br />
mukaillen, ja tämän kadun varteen mahtuu merkittävä määrä palveluita. Hotellin lähistöltä<br />
löytyy useampia 7-Eleven -kauppoja, hierontaliikkeitä (kuten hintalaatusuhteeltaan<br />
erinomainen Dahra Spa) ja vaikka mitä muuta. BTS:llä pääsee edullisesti ja tehokkaasti<br />
Sukhumvitin ruuhkia välttäen esim. Siamin pysäkille, jonka ympärillä on vieri vieressä<br />
ostoskeskuksia.<br />
<br />
Uloskirjautumisen yhteydessä törmäsin ongelmaan, jota kyllä osasin pelätäkin. Sisäänkirjautumisen yhteydessä olin kertonut, että vaihdan hotellia Bangkokissa ja pyysin saada hintaan kuuluvan paluukuljetuksen aikanaan sieltä kentälle. Virkailijan englanninkielentaito taisi tulla vähän vastaan, mutta hän sanoi kuitenkin että asia järjestyisi. Nyt kuitenkin kävi ilmi, että se ei onnistukaan koska kuljetus lähtisi eri hotellista kuin Continentista. Virkailija pahoitteli ja sanoi, että hotellin oma auto kuljettaisi minut sentään toiseen hotelliin korvaukseksi. Osasin arvata näin käyvän jo aiemmin virkailijan epävarmuuden tai kielitaidon puutteen vuoksi, joten kovin suuri yllätys se ei ollut. Ongelma tässä on ainoastaan se, että asiakkaalle luvataan aluksi jotain, mitä ei voidakaan pitää. Harmillista toki, mutta ei nyt kaada maailmaa.<br />
<br />
Palvelu hotellissa ylipäätään oli OK. Hymyt tuntuivat olevan välillä kovin tiukassa ja<br />
mihinkään ylitsevuotavaan ystävällisyyteen en törmännyt. Tähänastisista Thaimaan<br />
hotelleista palvelun suhteen pohjanoteeraus. Ehkä se vain kertoo, että taso on<br />
yleisestiottaen korkea, koska ei tämäkään nyt huono ollut. Ei vain missään nimessä<br />
sellainen, joka jäisi erityisen hyvästä palvelusta mieleen.<br />
<br />
Pidin hotellin sijainnista ja intiimistä tunnelmasta. Lounge oli miellyttävän rauhallinen ja<br />
ruoka- ja juomatarjonta riittävää. Toivomisen varaa jätti palvelun tehokkuus ja<br />
ystävällisyys, ja hintalaatusuhteeltaan hotelli ei ehkä kuitenkaan ole Bangkokin paras. Mikäli huoneen saa sopuhintaan, ei tätäkään kannata missään nimessä ohittaa, etenkään jos ei niin pidä isoista ketjuhotelleista.<br />

Aloitimme perhelomamme Thaimaassa Bangkokissa, jossa viivyimme aluksi kolme
yötä. Hiltonilla oli todella hyvä tarjouskampanja keväällä,
jonka vuoksi innostuin varaamaan Bangkokin Conradista yön. Kaksi
ensimmäistä yötä Bangkokissa vietimme <a href="http://finnatcotravels.blogspot.fi/2017/07/hotelliarvostelu-dusit-thani-bangkok.html" target="_blank">Dusit Thanissa</a>, mutta halusin päästä
vielä katsastamaan samaan syssyyn Conradin, joka on saanut varsin
hyvät arviot TripAdvisorissa. Koska aioimme tulla toimeen pelkillä
käsimatkatavaroilla pakkaushärdellin välttämiseksi, hotellin
vaihtaminen ei ollut liian työlästä, ja muu perhekin tuntui
innostuvan Conradista muutamia kuvia nähtyään.

Saavuimme taksilla Dusit Thanista Conradiin ja suuntasin tiskille
sisäänkirjautumista varten perheen aistiessa ensivaikutelmia.
Laukuista ei tarvinnut huolehtia itse. Henkilökuntaa riitti avaamaan
ovia ja ohjaamaan oikeaan suuntaan, ja taksista lähtiessä
tarkastettiin ettei mitään ollut jäänyt sisälle. Alku ainakin
hyvin positiivinen.</div>

<br />
Conradin
aula on suuri, korkea ja melko tummasävyinen, henkilökunta oikein
tyyliteltyä ja siistiä.

Olin tehnyt check-in:n hotelliin Hilton Honors -sovelluksen kautta ja
valinnut huoneen 26. Kerroksesta mutta tiskillä kävi ilmi, että
siinä kerroksessa on jotain teknisiä ongelmia ja meille annettiin
vastaavanlainen huone kerrosta alempaa.

Huoneemme 2505 oli kerroksessa 25 ja kooltaan 53m2, joten tilaa on tarpeeksi
majoittamaan kolmen hengen perhe yhdellä lisävuoteella. Lisävuode
olikin odottamassa paikallaan saapuessamme. Huone oli tyylikäs ja
asiallinen, Dusitin vastaavankaltaiseen verrattuna vielä hienompi.
Toki hotellien tyyli on erilainen ja Dusit on jo selkeästi vanhemman
oloinen.

Huoneessa
tila oli käytetty kohtalaisen järkevästi, ja esimerkiksi työpöytää
ei ollut sijoitettu ikkunan viereen vaan hieman kauemmaksi, jolloin
mitään ikäviä heijastuksiakaan ei pääse työn parissa
ahertaville tulemaan. Pistoksepaikkojakin oli riittävästi, joten
kaikkien puhelimetkin sai ladattua ongelmitta.

Sänky
(king bed) oli todella mukava ja sopivan jämäkkä, ja periaatteessa
siihen saattaisi jopa mahtua pariskunta pienen lapsen kanssa. Olin
ollut aiemmin hotellliin yhteydessä ja he tarjosivat lisävuodetta
maksutta, joten tartuin ilman muuta tilaisuuteen.

Kylpyhuone oli pienempi kuin Dusit Thanin huoneessamme, mutta riittävän iso
joka tapauksessa. Kylpyamme oli ikkunan edessä, ja siitä pääsee
ihailemaan kaupunkinäkymiä sälekaihtimia avaamalla. Erillinen
suihkukoppi on kylpyhuoneessa myös, ja vettä sai liikkumaan hyvällä
paineella.

Hiltonin alypuhelinsovellusta käyttäen olimme tilanneet huoneeseen muutamia eri
kylpytuotteita ja ne olivat siististi odottamassa. Tarjolla oli kolmea eri merkkiä, joten siitä vain mieleisiään kokeilemaan.

Saapuessamme kello oli sen verran, että loungessa alkoi juuri iltapäiväteen
tarjoilu. Kahvinnälkäisiäkään ei ollut toki unohdettu, ja kaunis
ja maukas cappuccino saapui kuumana pöytään.
<br />
<br />
Tarjoilupöydillä
oli esillä leivoksia, skonsseja hillon ja kermavaahdon kanssa,
hedelmiä ja leipiä. Oikein maittava välipala kauniissa ja

Palvelu oli kautta linjan huoliteltua ja henkilökunnan englanninkielentaito
sangen mallikasta. Kuitenkin Dusit Thani erottui mielestämme
aavistuksen enemmän edukseen palvelun suhteen.
<br />
<br />
Aamiainen kuului huoneen hintaan, ja sen sai nauttia joko Executive Loungen
rauhassa tai vaihtoehtoisesti ravintolan buffetissa. Koska olimme
hotellissa vain yhden yön, valitsimme (todennäköisesti)
kattavamman version aamupalasta toisen kerroksen ravintolasta (Cafe@2).

Executive -huoneen hintaan kuului loungen tarjoilut pitkin päivää, ja
cocktaileja pääsi nauttimaan iltasella klo 18-20. Tarjolla oli
tuolloin pientä suolaista ja makeaa purtavaa, muutama lämmin ruoka
ja joitain klassisia drinkkejä sekä viinejä. Huomionarvoista on
se, että alle 12v lapset ovat tervetulleita loungeen aamusta siihen
saakka, kunnes tuo Happy Hour alkaa. Meidät ohjattiin saapuessamme loungea vastapäätä olevaan pienempään tilaan johon saimme viedä
ruokaa ja juomaa, mutta ei se nyt erityisen hauskalta tuntunut siellä
kököttää. Kuvittelisin, että palvelu oli jonkin verran
tehokkaampaa toisella puolen, jossa henkilökunta enimmäkseen
liikkui.
<br />
<br />
Muutoin lounge oli siisti ja kaikki tarjolla olevat syömiset laadukkaita.

Conradissa on komea uima-allasalue kerroksessa 7, ja kävimme tutustumassa
siihen pikaisesti. Aluetta ympäröi muutama korkeampi rakennus,
joten se pysynee varjoisana hyvän osan päivästä. Altaan vesi oli
miellyttävän lämmintä ja polskuttelutilaa oli yllin kyllin.
Henkilökunta antoi pyyhkeet kuittausta vastaan, ja allasbaarikin
löytyi sellaista kaipaavalle.

Samassa tasossa altaan kanssa on Spa-osasto ja kuntosali. Ajanpuutteen takia
niiden katsastaminen jäi toiseen kertaan.

Conrad on sijainniltaan himpun verran hankalampi arvioitava. Alue on
siistiä, lähellä on suurlähetystöjä ja muutama muu tasokas
hotelli, mutta tunnetuimpiin nähtävyyksiin (esim. Wat Arun, Wat
Pho) tulee jo matkaa jonkin verran, ja Siam Squaren ostoskeskuksiin
n. 2km kävellen tai vaihtoehtoisesti suunnilleen tuplamatka
taksilla. Lumphinin puistoon on vain muutaman minuutin kävely, ja
BTS:n Ploenchit -pysäkkikään ei ole kovin pitkällä. Hotellista
on sinne myös ilmainen kuljetus. Se on varmasti ihan paikallaan,
sillä helteessä kovin pitkät kävelyt vilkkaassa kaupungissa eivät
välttämättä houkuttele etenkään lapsiperheitä. Ei se taksilla
kulkeminenkaan onneksi kovin hintavaa lystiä ole, joten pirssi alle
vaan jos kävelymatka alkaa ahdistaa. Ihan hotellissa kiinni on pieni ostari, joka äkkiseltään ei näyttänyt
tarjoavan mitään erityistä, mutta löysimme kuitenkin tärkeimmän,
eli hyvän ruokapaikan. Pankkiautomaatteja ja ruokakauppa löytyy
myös.<br />
Yhden yön perusteella alueesta ja lähiympäristöstä on vaikea sanoa sen
kattavammin, mutta suosittelen tutkimaan karttaa - vaikkapa Google
Mapsia - ja katselemaan suurennuslasilla mitä hotellin ympäristöstä
löytyy.

Hotelli on kyllä oikein siisti ja fiksu, ja ajaa varmasti asiansa niin liikemiehille,
pariskunnille kuin perheellisillekin. Kyllä tätä suositella voi
ilman muuta. Lapsiperheitä varmasti innostaa kaunis uima-allasalue,
pariskuntia varmaankin loungen tarjoilut (mikäli pääsy kuuluu
varattuun huonetyyppiin) ja näköalat. Jokaiselle jotakin.

Panviman Resort was our chosen spot for the first "beach holiday" part of the vacation in Thailand. I contacted the hotel directly to ask about an offer for a week, and receiving a satisfying price quote I booked us a Deluxe Cottage for 7 nights.<br />
<br />
I studied different parts of the island and based on some reviews, hotel's location, nearby villages and restaurants, I picked Panviman. It is not a 5 star hotel and it doesn't pretend to be, but a very nice 4 star resort.<br />

We arrived at the resort at about 6.30pm after 40min drive from Thong
Sala pier to the hotel entrance, and a resort´s own tuk-tuk kind of a car gave us a ride to the
lobby, since it was a bit of a hike upwards.<br />

We were taken into our room 6402 by a tuk-tuk, since the resort is spread
across quite a large area over the small peninsula between Thong Nai Pan Yai
and Thong Nai Pan Noi beaches.<br />
<br />
The room was quite nice with lots of dark wood and some Thai decorations. On
the upper floor was a big king bed with a pretty towel decoration, and large
windows with a door to a spacious balcony that had an outdoor bath tub.

There are air-conditioning units on both floors with separate controllers.
<br />
<br />
An electronic safe is provided and is free of charge as well as tea and coffee
making equipment. A beach bag, umbrellas, a torch, slippers and flip flops are included, too.
<br />
<br />
At least six 600ml water bottles were provided, which is really nice in the
Thailand heat. There are some brand water bottles in the minibar together with
other drinks, and they are charged by consumption.
<br />
<br />
Beds were quite firm but for our taste not uncomfortably so. For each sleeper
there were two pillows, the other one being a bit thicker and firmer.
<br />
<br />
Our first night was uneventful and fine, but on the second evening we noticed a
little part of the bottom floor roof hanging and a little bit of water dripping into
the room. Since it was quite close to a TV we notified the reception and they
changed us to another room.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This one (room <b>6101</b>) was even nicer than our first room since it had a bit less open
space and thus felt cosier, but there was still ample space for our stuff. The
second bathroom was missing here, but otherwise the cottage was quite similar
to our first one. The view in the new one was better, too, and location was fine
with a short walk to the pool and Pan Sea Restaurant where breakfast is served.<br />

On the second evening in this room Mr Murphy came to meet us again. Due to some unfortunate circumstances we had to call to reception and ask for assistance. Even with swift help we had no chance but to change the room again. We packed some of our stuff to make it through the night and the next morning.<br />
A new room was quickly found and a tuk-tuk came over to give us ride to our next room...<br />

This one (6418) was very far out from the resort´s main facilities towards
South-East and took a few minutes to reach by tuk-tuk.
The upper floor had king bed and a toilet. A few steps down was a sofa and in
the corner there were windows towards Thong Nai Pan Yai beach. The staff put
the air-con on immediately as it was really hot in the room.

The bedroom downstairs had two single beds, a TV, and an area with three bean
bag type of cushion chairs. The area was dark and peculiar since it seemed like a
left-over and not really pretty. It was also really hot here and the air smelled a
bit heavy and almost foul, but we switched the air-con on and hoped for the best
since it was already very late.
<br />
<br />
We managed to get some sleep but it took quite a while for the air-con to work
its magic. Downstairs felt too warm all the time and the smell didn't evaporate.
There is easily enough space in this room type for a family four and I think you
could add an extra bed or two if need be.<br />
<br />
After breakfast I asked about the issue in our previous room and heard that it had been taken care of. We wished to return to that room since it felt
cosier and the location was far better for us. Do keep in mind that the resort is sprawled across a large area where there are lots of hills and steps. If you're far away from the resort's main facilities, you might need to use the tuk-tuk a lot.<br />
<br />
We packed our bags and moved to room 6101, only to face the same issue again
in the evening. Off to Room 6418 again - staff was very quick to respond to our
problems and we were whisked off to the Deluxe Jacuzzi Grande room by tuk-
tuk.
<br />
<br />
I was getting a bit upset by packing our belongings and changing rooms all the
time, so I wrote an email to the hotel GM Mr. Robert Schnabel who contacted us
soon, was concerned of our troubles and very kindly upgraded us to a pool villa
for the rest of our stay. A stay that was <i>so good</i> that 7 nights turned into 10...

very close to the main pool area and Pan Sea restaurant where breakfast is served.<br />

The room isn't that big, but comfortable enough even with an extra bed. There were two
chairs and a small table in front of large window looking East towards the ocean and the own
pool. The view and the room were drop-dead gorgeous. We couldn't get enough of the
fantastic sea view over the infinity pool. Well, who would?! There was a stereo setup, coffee and tea making facilities, and on the left hand corner was a big TV, a DVD player and below them a minibar in a
cupboard. We didn't use any of these as the weather was great the whole time and we had
other things to do.

There wasn't that much extra space in the room, but on the other hand the room was cosy
and pretty. Extra floor space can also create a feeling of emptiness which wasn't the case in
this room. For us it was just about perfect!
We didn't spend that much time in the room - the own pool, hotel facilities and nearby
beaches and restaurants kept us happy anyway.

The bathroom is in a beautiful spot facing the pool. It gets warm easily in the morning since it's facing East.<br />
<br />
The bed was similar to the ones we had in previous rooms so no complaints. I would, however, update the pillows or have an option of a softer one in addition.<br />

Restaurants</h4>
Breakfast was served in the Pan Sea restaurant, very close to the lobby. Breakfast starts at 07:00 and ends at 10:30. It's an open air restaurant so expect it to be very warm all year round. There are fans and movable air conditioners, but they don't necessarily affect every table.<br />

Breakfast consists of the "basic items" of a normal 4 star hotel restaurant: A few different juices, fresh fruits, breads and pastries, yogurt, cereals and muesli, warm dishes such as sausages and grilled tomatoes, a few different Thai dishes, an omelet station and another station preparing either Roti (an Indian type of pancake), pancakes or Thai coconut dumplings. The last one was perhaps our favorite. We thought it's a good idea to have some variability in the menu and to try some more or less typical Thai snacks.<br />

There are two restaurants in the Panviman that are in operation in addition to the breakfast restaurant: Pool Deck Bar, and Stone Beach Restaurant.<br />
<br />
We dined in both places. The Pool Deck Bar is a more casual one, and we had a dinner there once just after we checked in to the hotel. The menu had at least pizzas and pastas, and we had a portion of each - both were good and tasty!<br />
<br />

We had a lovely time dining at Stone Beach Restaurant on several occasions. The setting was magical: On the beach with nice lighting, good service, a great menu and a very tempting price-quality ratio. The main part was of course the food. And it was good. So good that it was even too easy to return and enjoy some exquisite beachfront dining without breaking a bank. We did try a few different dishes, but we found our favorites: Tom Yum Goong and Green Curry.<br />
<br />
The Executive Chef Mattias Pawlik is a fine gentleman and was constantly listening to guests´ comments on food. We dined at least four times at the Stone Beach restaurant and were rather impressed with the price - quality ratio. All of the portions were beautiful, tasty, and of good size. Even the kids´ portions were terrific and showed appreciation to food and the smaller guests. We gave compliments about this and Mr. Pawlik agreed that it is important to serve all customers well when it comes to dining and was serious about the quality and presentation of the dishes. Everything we ate was good.<br />
<br />
Our kid seemed to be extremely happy with her portions of Fried Rice with Chicken, and a Burger.<br />
<br />
For dessert we had to test Sticky Rice with Mango and Coconut Ice-cream. Delicious!<br />

Pool</h4>
Pool area is in a nice central spot close to the Pan Sea restaurant and the lobby.<br />
There are smaller pools with just a few sun chairs before the bigger one that has plenty of room to swim and play.<br />
<br />
On the left side you'll find the Pool Deck bar and bathrooms.<br />
Happy Hours are 13.00-15.00 and 17.00-19.00.<br />

Spa</h4>
Panviman has its own <a href="http://www.panvimanresortkohphangan.com/spa.html" target="_blank">Spa</a> and you'll find the entrance on the left side of Pan Sea restaurant. You'll need to take some steps down and you'll then reach the Spa reception. There are quite many different treatment rooms and huts, and an extensive <a href="http://www.panvimanresortkohphangan.com/Spa_Menu.pdf" target="_blank">Spa menu</a> that you can also find in your room.<br />
<br />
The Spa area occupies a prime spot in the little peninsula between two beaches and there's an outdoor treatment hut with a superb view to the sea.<br />
<br />
Service and the treatments were excellent: professional and relaxing in such beautiful surroundings. Sure you do get a normal Thai Massage in one of the local villages cheaper, but then again this is a real, high-quality spa in a fantastic location.<br />
<br />
First you'll get a cool towel and a drink before the treatment, and you should arrive 10-15min before so that you won't have to rush it.<br />
<br />
It's a bit funny that you'll sign the bill (with a possible tip) before the actual treatment, which we found a little uncomfortable.<br />
<br />
Otherwise we really couldn't fault anything.<br />

Service</span></span></div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;"><br /></span></span></h3>
The one thing we really appreciated in this resort was the good, personal service. Some of
the staff were just really super and we had a tremendous pleasure talking with them. Sure
in some 5 star hotels the service can be a bit more uniform, polished and crisp, but it can
easily also be much cooler, distant and impersonal. We appreciated the general warmth and
family-like feeling you don´t always encounter.<br />
<br />
A few examples:
<br />
<br />
At breakfast the welcome was brilliant every single morning, and after the first day the lovely young lady welcoming the guests (Ms. Orapin) remembered our daughter´s name and thereafter
ours, too. Her English was splendid and she welcomed every guest with a happy,
enthusiastic smile and couldn't possibly have been nicer. Our daughter drew her a picture
one morning and the next day Ms. Orapin had made us a lovely card with a wonderful
drawing of our family and brought us some Thai snacks to try. Although she said she hadn't
had education in travel industry, she is naturally so good at what she does that she is a great
asset for the hotel and would make any hotel manager content for having such an employee
on their payroll. Although we have been happy to have met many nice people in hotels, Ms.
Orapin is one of a kind. It is no wonder other guests seemed to feel the same, too.<br />
<br />
One night our daughter was taking a video of a fire show - it was at the Stone Beach
Restaurant, Panviman's beachside - and one of the staff (Mr. Sittisak) saw her, and took her
to an even better location to film it. We were very impressed because it seemed he was
obviously not doing it because he felt he had to, but because he was simply so sincere and wanted
our daughter to get good footage. In addition, he is a very good photographer himself and
took a superb photo of our family.
<br />
<br />
Mr. Niki (Nicky?) at the restaurant is a great guy with a good sense of humor and a fine,
service-oriented attitude. These people worked hard and created such a wonderful atmosphere for our holiday.<br />
<br />
All in all, it was a very memorable stay. There is something that made this place special for us. Perhaps it's the combination of a brilliant location on a lovely island, good food, nature and the fabulous staff...<br />
<br />
Despite our initial room issues we felt we were taken care of, and our well-being was of concern for the staff, so we were more than satisfied with our choice to stay at Panviman.<br />
<br />
It doesn't happen too often that you come to a hotel as a guest and leave feeling like a part of family. I guess it's not difficult to say whether we would recommend this resort ;)<br />
<br />
-ABSOLUTELY!<br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Introduction</h3>
<h4>
<i><b><br /></b></i></h4>
<h4>
<i><b>First plan: Bali</b></i></h4>
As we were contemplating summer holiday plans, we came across a nice deal to Bali from London Heathrow. We found out that our summer months June-July-August were supposed to be excellent weather-wise and prices still pretty decent. Thus we started planning of spending three weeks in South-East Asia.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGi45RzFZnR4k04reJKgZX0XMR-aXzdU7O6AVOXE4_QqpNPpMCJjwJH3mJH0aA_aWhlWU13hn3q9JMQkINtcobGxUi1rCF5GU2ifQ4mQO0QjEKo8dcpyNCP97N-LaprWfpsAJCxLMY_b8/s1600/sanur.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGi45RzFZnR4k04reJKgZX0XMR-aXzdU7O6AVOXE4_QqpNPpMCJjwJH3mJH0aA_aWhlWU13hn3q9JMQkINtcobGxUi1rCF5GU2ifQ4mQO0QjEKo8dcpyNCP97N-LaprWfpsAJCxLMY_b8/s400/sanur.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
After some calculations, schedule checks and lots of planning and reading we decided Bali was not for us this time. One of the issues we were concerned about was the number of stray dogs on the island (some of which still carry rabies). As our child is not used to dogs - especially bigger ones - we thought they wouldn't make our holiday very pleasant if you had to be on a constant lookout for them. Hence we ditched Bali.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
<b><i>What next? Which areas have good weather in June in Asia?</i></b></h4>
I started looking for other options as we sort of got excited of the idea of spending our holidays abroad. I found a few websites with some good weather information for June in South-East Asia that helped me decide from a few different options:<br />
<br />
-Central Vietnam<br />
-Eastern coast of Malaysia<br />
-Eastern coast of Thailand (Koh Samui, Hua Hin, Khanom)<br />
<br />
After a lot more research and reading we narrowed it down to Hua Hin, Khanom or Koh Samui. Direct flights from Helsinki to Bangkok (with a reasonably good schedule and price) played a role, as well as the superb Thai cuisine.<br />
<br />
Since we had been to Hua Hin with my wife once we wanted to try a new place that ticked the right boxes: good accommodation choices, plenty of restaurants and spa/massage shops close, and easy enough transfer between Bangkok and the other spots. The destination would be <b><i>Koh Samui</i></b> and the neighboring island <b><i>Koh Phangan</i></b>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Flights</h3>
We ended up booking direct flights from Helsinki to Bangkok by Finnair - there was a little sale that made use of, and upgraded to economy comfort seats (50€/adult/one way).<br />
<br />
We would spend three nights in Bangkok, fly directly to Koh Samui with Bangkok Airways, spend 15 nights in Phangan and Samui altogether, then return to Bangkok for two nights before heading back home.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Accommodation: which hotel in Bangkok?</h3>
Bangkok has a ton of hotels. There are
just so many that it's difficult to choose. However, I could narrow it
down to 5 star hotels since the prices are very affordable for
quality accommodation in Bangkok, especially during the summer months.<br />
<br />
Some of the criteria were:<br />
-Executive Lounge access (they might present very good value in Bangkok)<br />
-an extra bed or a sofa bed that wouldn't be too expensive<br />
(the added cost may sometimes be an unpleasant surprise)<br />
-location (Google Maps comes in handy)<br />
-hotel facilities and service <br />
<br />
<br />
I read a bunch of reviews on
TripAdvisor and individual reports, and I narrowed the selection down to:<br />
<br />
<i>-Siam@Siam Design Hotel</i><br />
<i>-Pullman Bangkok G</i><br />
<i>-Hilton Sukhumvit</i><br />
<i>-Conrad</i><br />
<i>-Dusit Thani</i><br />
<i>-Centara
Grand at CentralWorld</i><br />
<i>-Tower Club at Lebua </i><br />
<br />
<br />
We decided to split our first three nights in Bangkok into two.<br />
For the first two nights I chose <i style="font-weight: bold;">Dusit Thani </i>(<a href="http://finnatcotravels.blogspot.fi/2017/06/review-dusit-thani-hotel-bangkok-dusit.html" target="_blank">my review here</a>),
which was the first 5 star hotel and the tallest building in Bangkok
when it opened in 1970. My wife and I visited Dusit Thani Hua Hin two
years ago and liked it very much, especially the fantastic service at Club Lounge.<br />

<br />
The location of Dusit Thani Bangkok felt good - close
to shopping and restaurants, not too far from the airport, Lumphini Park opposite the hotel. Add in a 50%
sale and I booked a <i>Dusit Club Room</i> with plenty of space and access to Club Lounge. The hotel feels child-friendly and children are permitted in the Club Lounge also during the evening cocktail hours, as opposed to Conrad, where children under 12 can not enter the lounge at that time.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For the third night I opted for <b><i>Conrad Bangkok</i></b>. We had never been to Conrad before and as they had a terrific sale, I took the opportunity to book a <i>King Bed Executive Corner room.</i> The pool area looked rather pretty in the pictures and I thought it might be good fun to experience two different hotel brands with similar price points.<br />

<br />
For our return trip I booked <i><b>Centara Grand at CentralWorld</b></i> largely because of two things:<br />
-It is attached to the big CentralWorld shopping mall<br />
-I was able to book a Club World Deluxe room with a 50% discount<br />
<br />
The hotel also has an outdoor pool and a spa, and the club lounge is located on the 52nd floor so we would be able to enjoy the views while enjoying some refreshments. Unfortunately the room is not even close to the size of Dusit Club Room, but then again we wouldn't be in the room for too long given our flight schedules and walking around the huge mall.<br />

<h3>
<b>Accommodation: which hotels in Koh Phangan and Koh Samui?</b></h3>
As neither of the islands were not familiar to us, we had to rely on good old internet and read a bunch of reviews and opinions. I was able to get a reasonable Travel Industry discount for a nice hotel in Koh Phangan:<a href="http://finnatcotravels.blogspot.fi/2017/07/hotel-review-panviman-resort-koh-phangan.html" target="_blank"> </a><b style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://finnatcotravels.blogspot.fi/2017/07/hotel-review-panviman-resort-koh-phangan.html" target="_blank">Panviman Resort</a>, </b>which seemed like a pretty good option since the beach is supposed to be nice and there are quite a few local restaurants in the vicinity.<br />
<br />
Koh Samui was a tad trickier, with a very high number of accommodation options across the island, most of them of course close to the numerous beaches.<br />
<br />
Bo Phut (also spelled Bophut) felt like a sensible place for a family, and I made a refundable booking to <a href="https://www.sawadee.com/hotel/677203/Smile-House-Resort" target="_blank">Smile House</a> for 4 nights.<br />
<br />
For the last 4 nights in Samui I booked <a href="http://www.amari.com/koh-samui/" target="_blank">Amari Hotel</a> in North Chaweng.<br />
<br />
Due to such good time in Koh Phangan we made a last-minute change to our plans, and continued in Panviman Resort for 3 additional nights. I cancelled our reservation in Smile House, and booked an extra night in Amari so there wouldn´t be too many hotel changes in the last days.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Which website to use for booking hotels in Thailand?</h3>
I booked our Bangkok hotels directly via the hotels' own websites. As I enrolled in <a href="http://www.dusitgold.com/en/memberbenefits" target="_blank">Dusit Gold</a> (frequent guest programme) I received their email concerning a 50% sale and took advantage of that. The same applied to Conrad (Hilton portfolio) and Centara.<br />
<br />
I checked and compared hotel prices mostly via <a href="http://www.agoda.com/" target="_blank">Agoda</a>, <a href="http://www.sawadee.com/" target="_blank">Sawadee</a> and <a href="http://www.orbitz.com/Hotels/" target="_blank">Orbitz</a>. The prices were in some cases almost identical but it pays to see if there is something to be gained booking directly from hotel's own website.<br />
<br />
Sawadee doesn't have the same volume of hotels as Orbitz or Agoda (Hilton hotels missing etc) but some independent hotels can be a bit cheaper through Sawadee. Our room in Smile House was booked via Sawadee. The cancellation was easy though incurring a 500 THB fee.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Local transfers</h3>
There would be a few transfers that I wanted to book in advance:<br />
-From Bangkok airport to the hotels and back<br />
-From Samui airport to Koh Phangan and back to a hotel in Koh Samui<br />
<br />
In Bangkok we had used a normal taxi before, but they didn't seem like a perfect solution for a family, so I opted for <a href="https://www.orientalescape.com/" target="_blank">Oriental Escape</a>. We had used their service once before, and were very satisfied. The car was lovely, driver very nice and careful and they had working safety belts which I thought were necessary for our Bangkok transfers.<br />
<br />
I read about the ferries operating between Samui and Phangan, and found out that booking directly through <a href="http://www.lomprayah.com/" target="_blank">Lomprayah</a> website our ferry ticket price would include transfers from Samui airport to the ferry pier, and Samui ferry pier to our chosen hotel in Samui. That felt like a good deal since taxi prices in Samui are high compared to Bangkok.<br />
<br />
Our ferry would depart from Nathon Pier on the Western side of Samui. The minibus ride from the airport took about 45 minutes.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
A high-speed catamaran ferry takes 30mins to reach Koh Phangan, and from there we would take a taxi to the North-Eastern part of the island (Thong Nai Pan Noi). It was easy to catch a ride from the pier, but if we were to travel that route again, I would book the transfer directly from hotel.<br />
<br />

It does make travelling a lot less complicated to have access to such high volume of information in the internet. Once you've done your homework, booked and planned, it's easy to just go and enjoy your trip.<br />
We really had no problems with any of our bookings. I still recommend carrying printed documents of your passports and booking confirmations in case the battery of your phone dies or you don't have internet access.<br />
<br />
Safe travels!<br />

Dusit Thani oli ensimmäinen majoitupaikkamme reissulla Kaukoitään
kesäkuussa 2017. Päädyin tähän hotelliin erinäisten kriteerien
perusteella, joista merkittävimmät olivat hyvä hinta-laatusuhde
hotellin tason, huoneen koon ja palveluiden suhteen ja sijaintikin
varsin mainio suunnittelemiamme aktiviteetteja ajatellen.
<br />
<br />
Dusit Thani on Bangkokin ensimmäinen viiden tähden hotelli ja
rakennustöiden loputtua 1970 se oli hetken aikaa kaupungin korkein
rakennus. Se on myös tunnettu ja maineikas paikka, joten
todennäköisesti lähes jokainen taksikuskikin sinne osaa.

Olin
varannut netistä kuljetuksen Suvarnabhumin lentokentältä
hotellille <a href="http://www.orientalescape.com/" target="_blank">Oriental Escapes</a> -nimiseltä yritykseltä. Kuljetus on
toki hieman tyyriimpi kuin tavallinen taksi (1300THB per suunta),
mutta toisaalta moitteettoman siisti, tyylikäs ja ennen kaikkea
siinä on turvavyöt ja todennäköisemmin rauhallisempi sekä
levänneempi kuski. Yhteydenottoihin vastattiin todella nopeasti,
selkeästi ja jämptisti, joten tätä yritystä on helppo
suositella. Ainakin perheelliselle valttia on nuo turvavyöt, joita
ei monessa perustaksissa pysty takapenkillä käyttämään...

Olimme sangen aikaisin aamulla hotellilla, sillä Finnairin lento AY89 on
aikataulun mukaan perillä jo klo 07:15. Kaikkien
maahantulomuodollisuuksien ja kuljetusten jälkeenkin kello oli vasta
08:25 saapuessamme Dusitin aulaan.
<br />
<br />
Portieeri otti heti laukut hoitaakseen ja saimme kortin, johon oli kirjoitettu
hoidossa olevien pakaasien lukumäärä. Ystävällinen vastaanottovirkailija tarkisti varauksemme ja lähti pian ohjaamaan
meitä kolmannen kerroksen Club Loungeen, jossa saimme juotavaa ja
henkilökunta hoiti kirjatumismuodollisuudet.<br />

Koska kello oli vasta
niin vähän ja huoneiden luovutus periaatteessa klo 15, meille
tarjottiin lisähintaan mahdollisuutta päästä huoneeseen hyvinkin
pian. Koska olimme aika väsyneitä matkan jäljiltä, suostuin
tarjoukseen.
<br />
<br />
Saimme syödä loungessa aamiaisen, joka maistui erityisen hyvin lapselle
kun lentokoneessa tarjottu aamupala ei ollut niin kovin kummoinen.
<br />
<br />
Aamiaisen aikana huonepalvelu oli saanut huoneen meille valmiiksi, jonne
siirryimmekin hetimiten syömisen päätteeksi.

Kylpyhuone oli todella suuri ja tilava kylpyammeineen ja erillisene
suihkukoppeineen. Huonoa tilassa on se, että siellä on oikeastaan
vain yksi naulakko, johon panna pyyhe kuivumaan, ja se, että itse
wc-tilaan ei ole erillistä ovea. Kylpyhuoneen käyttäminen voi olla
kiusallista samaan aikaan wc:ssä asioivalle. No, varsin pian hotelli
kokee ison uudistuksen ja asia saattaa muuttua totaalisesti.

Illalla klo 17.30-19.30 on
happy hour, jolloin saatavilla on myös cocktaileja, viiniä, olutta
ja suolaista syötävää. Myös lapset ovat tervetulleita tuohon
aikaan toisin kuin esim. Bangkokin Conradissa, jossa ikäraja on 12.
<br />
<br />
Palvelu on Dusitin vahvuuksia, ja etenkin Loungen henkilökunta oli oikein
ystävällistä, ammattitaitoista ja palvelualtista. Illalla happy
hourin aikaan ei juuri ehtinyt odotella kun jo oltiin täyttämässä
lasia kuohu-, valko-, tai punaviinillä. Drinkkilista oli saatavilla
myös, vaikka sitä ei erikseen joka pöydässä ollutkaan. Listassa
oli muutamia drinkkiklassikoita, sekä alkoholittomia drinkkejä ja
viinit mainittu nimeltä.

<br />
<br /></div>
Aamiainen tarjoillaan alakerran Pavilion -ravintolassa, sekä kolmannen
kerroksen loungessa. Alakerran buffet on toki suurempi ja kattavampi,
mutta rauhaa ja hyvää palvelua arvostaville lounge saattaa olla
hyvinkin se mieluisampi vaihtoehto.
<br />
<br />
Pavilion -ravintolassa tarjottava aamiainen sisälsi mm. lämpimiä ruokia intialaisesta ja japanilaisesta eurooppalaiseen, susheja ja omelettipisteen, ja kattavan pöydän eri leipomotuotteita. Suosikkimme oli kuitenkin keittoasema, josta sai todella maukasta nuudelikeittoa. Siihen sai valita itse sopivanlaisen nuudelilaadun ja kasviksia sekä lihaa tai kalaa, mitä sitten kunakin päivänä on tarjolla. Maun mukaan sopi lisäillä vaikkapa chiliä, kalakastiketta ja muita mausteita.

Perinteiset hedelmät, pekonit ja grillatut tomaatit olivat näkösällä myös,
joten aamiaisella kyllä tuntui olevan jokaiselle jotakin.

Hotellin aulasta pääsee sisäpihalla olevaan vehreään puutarhaan, jossa on
pieni lampi karppeineen.

Siitä lähtee edelleen portaat, joita
pitkin tullaan uima-altaalle. Allasalue ei ole kovin suuri, ja se on
toki jo hieman vanhahtavan oloinen, mutta ihan kelvollinen pikku
polskutteluun ja aurinkotuoleilla lötköttelyyn.

Allasalueella on myös om pikku baari, josta saa juotavaa ja pientä purtavaa.
Altaan vierestä pääsee kuntosalille, jonka laitteistoa en jaksanut
käydä tällä kertaa tarkemmin tutkimassa.
<br />
<br />
Hotellissa on myös Devarana -niminen Spa -osasto, josta saa hieronta- ja muita palveluita, mutta
joka jäi myös tällä visiitillä testaamatta.
<br />
<br />
Bangkokiin (tai vaikka Chiang Maihin tai Hua Hiniin) matkaaville suosittelen
liittymään Dusit Gold -kanta-asiakasohjelmaan, josta tulee aika
ajoin viestiä tarjouksista. Perushinnasta 50% juuri tällaisen
kampanjan aikana, ja hintalaatushde on varsin mainiosti kohdallaan.
Hotellista henkii vanhat traditiot ja paikallinen arvokkuus, ja
sijainti on oikein asiallinen. BTS- ja MRT-linjat ovat lähellä,
taksi on helppo saada ja Lumphinin puisto on aivan hotellia
vastapäätä. Pari pientä ostaria on käytännössä vieressä ja
katuruokaakin saa Silom Roadilta.
<br />
<br />
Suositeltava hierontapaikka Dahra Beauty&Spa on Silom Roadia n.1km eteenpäin
ja hinta-laatusuhteeltaan erinomainen.
<br />
<br />
Sijanti on monelle hyvin merkittävä tekijä, ja siinä kohtaa onkin hyvä miettiä kuinka lähellä haluaisi olla joko nähtävyyksiä tai vaikka ostoskeskuksia. Ruuhkat voivat Bangkokissa olla melkoiset, joten etenkin ruuhka-aikoina voi varautua istumaan taksissa pidemmän aikaa ellei halua lähteä näppärillä ja edukkailla julkisilla liikenteeseen. Silloin on hyvä kiinnittää huomiota BTS- ja MRT -asemiin, ja siihen, kuinka parhaiten päästä niitä hyödyntäen etenemään kaupungissa.

Dusit Thania voi kahden vuorokauden pysähdyksemme perusteella suositella
niin perheille kuin yksin tai pariskuntana matkaaville. Samassa
hintaluokassa on Bangkokissa monenmoista vaihtoehtoa hotellia
kaipaavalle, ja jokaisella matkaajalla on varmasti omat kriteerinsä
majoituksen suhteen. Hotellista jäi positiivinen kuva, vaikka se ei ehkä nykyisin pärjääkään uudemmille vastaavan tason hotelleille. Aika näyttää, millainen uusi Dusit Thani tulee olemaan. Tämä vanha puretaan kesällä 2018 ja uutta aletaan rakentaa tilalle.

Dusit
Thani was the first hotel on our trip to South-East Asia in June
2017. We would first stay three nights in Bangkok and then continue our journey to Koh Phangan and Koh Samui respectively.<br />
<br />
I picked Dusit for the first two nights because we had a great
experience in Hua Hin's Dusit with my wife about two years earlier,
and I thought it might be fun to visit Lumphini park -
it´s opposite the main entrance.<br />

Dusit Thani is Bangkok's first 5 star hotel, and I guess they also had the
first outdoor pool in Bangkok. When the hotel started its operation
it was the highest building in Bangkok. Now it looks very small
compared to the gigantic towers looming everywhere in the city
center. That will change in a few years when a new Dusit Thani
replaces this old one.

Our
transfer (Oriental Escape family van) from the airport to the hotel
parked in the front and we were helped with the luggage and escorted
to the lobby. The lobby has a Thai-style ambience and is quite big
with a few counters.<br />
<br />
I
handed out our passports and soon we were taken to the 3rd floor Club
Lounge for a more relaxed check-in.<br />

Friendly associates took care of,
brought us drinks and went through the check-in formalities.
As we arrived early in the morning - our Finnair flight AY89 landed in
Suvarnabhumi airport at about 07:15 - I didn't expect the room to be
ready yet. And sure enough it wasn't. We were offered a chance to
get to have the room rather soon for paying some extra.<br />
<br />
I took the
offer since we were quite tired after a longish flight. Breakfast was
included as well, so we decided to have a bit to eat and our daughter
was especially happy since she wasn't too fond of the airplane
breakfast.<br />

During the breakfast one of the staff came over to tell that our room was
ready and we proceeded there immediately after we finished eating.
The Dusit Club Rooms are located in the upper floors. Ours was in the
18th floor facing Lumphini Park. As the size of the room is about
60sqm we had ample space to spread out. The requested extra bed was
already made and our luggage was waiting, so we took a quick shower
and a little nap. The double bed was big and comfortable, and felt
quite awesome after a sleepless night in an airplane.

Bathroom is large and has a separate bath tub and a shower. A toilet seat is
in a corner shielded a bit by a wall but there isn't a separate door
inside the bathroom for privacy. Perhaps the new Dusit will have a
different solution...

<br />
<br />
Dusit Club Lounge is on the 3rd floor and is for the use of guests in the
club rooms and suites.
Breakfast was quite OK in the lounge, though there was obviously a little less
variety than in the main restaurant. A few different juices, pastries
and bread, maki rolls, cucumber gazpacho, fruit and other items you
usually find in Thai hotels. From the menu one will find made to
order eggs, excellent waffles with whipped cream and blueberry jam
etc. Of course it is a nice, quiet environment to enjoy the breakfast
provided the lounge is not full.
On the other hand the Pavilion restaurant has more variety, so the choice
is yours :)

casual dress code is required. There is a small selection of
cocktails and mocktails, as well as beers, spirits and wines
(sparkling, red and white).<br />

Very pretty little portions of nibbles were available with a few hot
dishes, too. Perhaps not quite enough for a real meal, but quite good
indeed.

We liked the little garden area in a courtyard that had quite a lot of
plants and a pond with fish. It was a sweet and tranquil spot to sit
for a while. Climbing about two dozen steps you´ll enter a smallish
pool area and beside it is a gym. The water in the pool had good
temperature, so it felt refreshing but not too cool in the Bangkok
heat.

Breakfast is served in the Pavilion restaurant from 06.00 - 10.30. There is a
good variety to choose from, such as hot Indian and Thai dishes, a
noodle soup (fantastic!) and an omelet station, bread and pastries
and sushi to name a few.

<br />
Coffee and tea are served to the tables and waitresses were active to pour more.<br />
Service was excellent all around the hotel premises and facilities felt child-friendly. The personnel were really charming, professional and efficient.<br />
<br />
Location is good for those who want to use public transportation. There are
BTS and MRT lines just a few steps from the hotel, and Lumphini Park
is opposite the main entrance. There are no big shopping malls just
around the corner, but a short and cheap taxi ride will take you
quite quickly to one of the Siam neighborhood malls if you´re not
going during the rush hours. A few street food stalls were present
on the side of Silom road very close to Dusit Thani, and we devoured
our portions of Roti and Sticky rice with mango. If you´re looking
for a great quality massage shop continue on Silom Rd for about 1km
and you´ll find Dahra Beauty and Spa on the right side of the road.

<br />
Dusit Thani is an easy pick if you'd like to stay in a quality hotel in
Bangkok without breaking a bank. I think the prices are reasonable
for a standard room with breakfast, and if you you feel like splurging a bit, a Club room might well be worth the extra cost.<br />
<br />
There is
a very nice Thai feeling in the hotel, and it doesn't strike me as too stiff
and posh like perhaps some very high-end 5 star hotels in the area
that also come with a heftier price tag. The hotel isn't new, that's
for certain, but for us it didn't make much difference since it was
clean, we knew the establishment is old and didn't have super high
expectations. Based on our two night stay we would recommend this
place.

<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Intro</span></h3>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Toinen käyntimme Tallinnan Hiltoniin ajoittui maaliskuun lopulle. Olin varannut huoneen kahdeksi yöksi kolmelle hengelle (King Deluxe with view) Hiltonin sovelluksen kautta paria kuukautta aiemmin kun Hiltonilla oli n. 20% ale käynnissä, ja Hilton Gold -status oli vielä maaliskuun loppuun voimassa.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Saavuimme täpötäydellä Vikingillä satamaan n. klo 13 perjantaina ja suuntasimme ensi töiksemme vanhankaupungin laidalle Wok to Walk -ravintolaan lounaalle. Sieltä jatkoimme taksilla Hiltoniin, jossa olimme perillä n. klo 14.</span><br />

<br />
<h3>
Executive-huone</h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sisäänkirjautumisen yhteydessä saimme huoneluokan korotuksen Executive-huoneeseen. Huone sijaitsi hotellin ylimmässä, 11. kerroksessa. Olin pyytänyt etukäteen lapselle lisävuodetta, joka on tässä hotellissa ilmainen. Sitä ei ollut vielä tuotu, mutta respassa sanottiin saapuvan tuota pikaa. Eikä mennytkään kuin vajaa 10 minuuttia niin huonepalvelu toi sängyn.</span><br />
<br /></div>
Näkymä kaupunkiin oli aurinkoisen sään vuoksi todella komea koko seinän korkuisesta ikkunasta. (kuva syksyltä 2016)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Huone oli siisti ja käytännöllinen, mitä toki voi odottaakin näin uudelta hotellilta. Lähellä ikkunaa on pöydässä pieni paneeli, jonka avaamalla saa näkyviin pistokkeen ja pari USB-porttia sähkölaitteiden lataamista varten.<br />

Pöydällä odotti myös hotellin tervehdys: ruisleipää, juustoa ja pieni Vana Tallinn -likööripullo.<br />

<br />
<h3>
Spa-osasto</h3>
Vaihdoimme kylpytakit ylle ja laskeuduimme hissillä 2. kerrokseen, jossa on Spa-osaston lisäksi kuntosali ja ravintola, jossa tarjoillaan aamiaisbuffet.
Kylpyläosaston tiskillä kirjasimme nimen ja huoneen numeron vihkoon, ja saimme kumipäällysteisen rannekkeen, joka toimii pukukaapin avaimena.<br />
<br />
Pukuhuoneesta tai itse allasalueelta saa pyyhkeen, joten omaa ei tarvitse tuoda huoneesta. Pukuhuone on hotellin linjaa noudatellen selkeä, siisti ja tyylikäs. Suurehkoja suihkukoppeja on kaksi.<br />
<br />
Allasosastolla on yksi iso, n. 15m pitkä allas sekä pieni poreallas. Molemmat ovat sopivan lämpöisiä, isompi 30.5c ja poreallas 36.5c. Altaan toisella puolen on n. 10 lepotuolia.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Osastolla on kaksi saunaa; tavallinen ja höyrysauna.
Suihkuja on samaten kaksi ja ne tuntuvat olevan hankalakäyttöisiä erilaisine painikkeineen, sillä moni jätti veden valumaan todennäköisesti olettaen vedentulon loppuvan itsekseen. Näin ei kuitenkaan ole. Suihku sammutetaan painamalla uudestaan samaa nappia, josta se on pantu päälle.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Executive Lounge</h3>
Executive Lounge sijaitsee ylimmässä kerroksessa, ja sieltä avautuu upea näkymä suoraan kohti Tallinnan keskustaa, ja oikealla puolella satamaan ja Suomenlahdelle.<br />

Sen lisäksi on aamiainen, joka on toki huomattavasti suppeampi kuin alakerran ravintolassa, mutta toisaalta miljöö on rauhallinen.<br />
<br />
Klo 18-20 on Happy Hour, jolloin loungessa saa erilaisia purtavia buffet-tyyliin, jopa pari lämmintä ruokaa sekä viiniä, giniä ja vodkaa. Oluttakin on.<br />

<br />Aamiainen</h3>
Buffet-aamiainen on tarjolla 2. kerroksen The Able Butcher -ravintolassa, joka on auki myös lounas- ja illallisaikaan.<br />

Käyntimme aikana hotelli oli täynnä, ja sen huomasi aamiasella. Porukkaa oli välillä jonoksi asti odottamassa pöytien vapautumista, ja ruokia hakiessa saattoi olla tungosta. Itse ruokailutila pysyi kuitenkin mukavan rauhallisena koska pöytiä ei ollut aseteltu aivan vieri viereen.<br />
<br />
Pöytiin tarjoiltiin tee, kahvi ja appelsiinimehu. Muut ruuat ja juomat haettiin itse.<br />
<br />
Kaikki oli siististi esillä ja tuoretta.
Munakasasema tuntui olevan suosittu, ja sen vieressä oli myös vohvelirauta, jolla sai paistaa itse vohvelin.
Leivät olivat todella maukkaita ja tuoreita, samoin kuin erinomaisen kuohkeat muffinit. Makea, tuore ananas ja smoothie keräsivät kiitosta.<br />
<br />
Palvelu oli kauttaaltaan erittäin ystävällistä ja henkilökunnan englanninkielen taito mallikasta.<br />
<br />

Ennen paluuta kävimme samaisessa ravintolassa lounastamassa, ja testasimme paikan pasta bolognesen sekä purilaisannoksen.<br />
<br />
Alkuun tuotiin leipää, joka onkin tässä hotellissa todella hyvää.<br />
<br />
Etenkin purilaisannos oli erittäin maukas ja onnistunut: pihvi oli mehevä ja sopivasti paistettu.<br />
Pasta ei ollut ehkä ihan niin hyvä mitä ulkonäkö antoi odottaa. Pasta itsessään oli täydellisesti keitetty, kastike oli jotenkin pliisu.<br />
<br />

Tämä oli toinen käyntimme Tallinnan Hiltonissa, ja kokemus oli tälläkin kertaa todella positiivinen.<br />
Ensimmäisestä visiitistä <a href="http://finnatcotravels.blogspot.fi/2016/10/review-hilton-tallinn-park.html" target="_blank">englanninkielinen arvostelu</a>.<br />
Hotellin valtteja ovat erinomaisen ystävällinen henkilökunta, uudet puitteet, hyvä aamupala ja kaunis allasosasto.<br />

<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Intro</span></h3>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Vietimme talvilomaa Teneriffalla maaliskuussa 2017 yöpyen ensimmäiset kuusi yötä saaren lounaisrannikolla Costa Adejessa ja kolme yötä Santa Cruzissa. Etsiessäni majoituspaikkaa löysin Orbitz.com:n kautta hyvän hinnan kolmelle hengelle lisävuoteen ja aamiaisen kanssa.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Päädyimme ajamaan taksilla Costa Adejesta suoraan Santa Cruziin, vaikka alun perin tarkoitus oli vain mennä Costa Adejen bussiasemalle ja jatkaa sieltä julkisilla eteenpäin.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ajansäästön ansiosta olimme perillä jo puoliltapäivin, eikä huoneemme ollut vielä siinä vaiheessa valmis. Jätimme painavammat laukut hotellille ja painuimme etsimään lounasta keskustasta. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sisäänkirjautuminen ja huone</span></h3>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Palasimme hotellille n. klo 14 ja kirjauduimme sisään. Sisäänkirjautumisen yhteydessä hotelli tarjosi vierailleen cavaa, mikä oli maistuva ja ylellinen yllätys :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Huoneemme sijaitsi hotellin toisessa kerroksessa ja yllättävän kaukana respasta. Hotelli oli suurempi miltä aluksi ulkopuolelta näytti.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Huone oli siisti ja lisävuode odotti valmiina. Koko hotellista henki tyylikäs vaikutelma, joka näkyi osin myös huoneessa. Tilaa ei ollut ylenmäärin, mutta toisaalta emme viettäneet huoneessa erityisen paljon aikaa.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Kylpyhuone oli mukavan kokoinen ja kylpyamme oli lapsiperheen näkökulmasta hyvä lisä.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>

<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Varaamamme huone oli edullisin vaihtoehto, eli kaupunkinäkymin. Ikkunasta näkyi vastapäistä rakennusta, muuta kaupunkialuetta pohjoisen suuntaan ja pilkahdus mertakin. Parveke oli melko karu, eikä tarjonnut minkäänlaista yksityisyyttä.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Onneksi suunta oli sellainen, että meteliä emme kuulleet ja sen puolesta saimme nukkua rauhassa.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sänky oli varsin hyvä eikä tyynyissäkään ollut valittamista.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Näin jälkikäteen olisin kyllä valinnut huoneen puutarhanäkymin. Sen verran vehreää, siistiä ja kaunista sillä puolen oli, että iltaa olisi mielellään istunut parvekkeella auringonpaisteessa.</span><br />

</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Aamiainen kuului meillä majoituksen hintaan ja se tarjoiltiin Los Menceyes -ravintolassa klo 7-11. Ruoka olikin positiivinen yllätys. Kaikki oli maukasta, huolella valmistettua ja tuoretta, esillepanokin siistiä ja eleganttia. Ja kukapa voisi vastustaa ohueksi leikattua ilmakuivattua jamon Iberico -kinkkua ja jääkylmää cavaa...</span><br />

Sisäpihalla ja altaalla on myös kahvilat / baarit, joiden hinnat ovat kaupungin yleiseen hintatasoon nähden korkeat, mutta aika tavalla linjassa hotellin tasoon nähden.<br />

<title> Review: Grand Hotel Mencey, Santa Cruz de Tenerife</title>

<h3>
Introduction</h3>
<div dir="ltr">
We had a nice 9-day trip to Tenerife in early March 2016, staying six nights in Costa Adeje and three nights in Santa Cruz.
<br />
<br />
After checking out of our hotel in Costa Adeje we took a taxi to Santa Cruz although we were thinking of going by bus from Costa Adeje bus station. Because of that we saved perhaps one and a half hours and arrived around noon at Grand Hotel Mencey. I had booked the hotel for three nights through Orbitz where I found a tempting price for three persons (a double room with breakfast and an extra bed included).<br />
<br />

<br />
Our room was not ready yet so we were asked to wait until 2pm which is the standard time for checking in.
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
We left our luggage in a dedicated room and went outside to find lunch. It happened to be a day with very limited lunch options as most places were either closed or a few opening at around 1pm.
<br />
<br /></div>
<h3>
Lobby and check-in</h3>
<div dir="ltr">
We came back at about 2pm and received glasses of cava upon check in.

The lobby is quite small but seemed to be adequate when there were not too many people there at the same time. A few guests were present and waiting in the lobby lounge where there were a few tables and chairs.

<h3>
Double Room</h3>
<div dir="ltr">
Our room was a standard room on the second floor with a city view and an extra bed for the child.
The view wasn't particularly great but on the other hand it was rather quiet and there was a glimpse of the sea. There was a balcony, too, but we didn't use it since it wasn't very inviting and there wasn't any privacy.
Otherwise the room was clean and perfectly fine although a bit on the small side.

<h3>
Garden and public areas</h3>
<div dir="ltr">
The garden side of the hotel was really nice with plenty of sunshine in the afternoon. It was a lovely area to sit down with a good book and there were two cafe/bars to choose from, one at the hotel and the other one closer to the pool area. The prices were quite high but about what you would expect from a hotel of this quality.<br />

Breakfast</h3>
<div dir="ltr">
The breakfast was served in Los Menceyes Restaurant from 7am to 11am. It was a buffet style breakfast with a wonderful spread of great quality items. Of course in some Asian countries you'll find many more different kinds of dishes but the style and taste of everything was exquisite! In addition, the service was really attentive and professional, and we thought it made the breakfast experience that much better. Fresh bread and pastries, smoothies, fruit, freshly squeezed orange juice were the order of the day. And, who can honestly resist a glass of cold cava and jamon Iberico in the morning when the sun shines into the garden in beautiful, stylish settings?!<br />

It was about a 10-15min walk to the shore and you could easily get a taxi at the hotel if you didn't feel like walking. For example the bus station is a bit far by foot, but by taxi it was less than 10 minutes. Fortunately the taxis are quite affordable.</span></span></span></div>

Matkan suunnittelu</h3>
<br />
Internet on pullollaan sivuja matkailuun liittyen. Moni suunnittelee ja varaakin nykyään itse kaiken lentolipuista hotelleihin ja autonvuokraukseen. Hotelliarvioita on helppo selailla ja tehdä majoitusvalintoja niihin liittyen. Tripadvisor on monelle tuttu, mutta arvosteluita siellä on syytä lukea kriittisesti, sillä kaikki kirjoitukset eivät ole kovin objektiivisia ja informaatioarvoltaan merkittäviä.<br />
<br />
Hyviä apuvälineitä varaamiseen ja omatoimiseen reissun suunnitteluun kuitenkin löytyy, kun tietää mistä ja miten hakee. Ajansäästökin voi olla huomattava sopivien sivujen löytyessä.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Majoitus - Trivago</h3>
<br />
Hotellimajoitusta etsivä saattaa löytää parhaat - joista useimmat ovat englanninkielisiä - arvostelut googlettamalla esim. "Millennium Hilton Bangkok Review" ja valitsemalla blogeja, joiden pitäjät monesti osaavat kiinnittää huomiota monenlaisiin asioihin huoneisiin, hotellin palveluihin ja sijaintiin liittyen, sekä ottavat paljon kuvia tekstin tueksi.<br />
<br />
Suosittuja sivustoja hotellien varaamiseen ovat <a href="http://hotels.com/">Hotels.com</a>, <a href="http://booking.com/">Booking.com</a> ja <a href="http://www.trivago.fi/" target="_blank">trivago</a> joka vertailee monien sivustojen hintoja, mutta etenkin Hotels.com on saanut negatiivista julkisuutta siitä, että hakkerit ovat päässeet käsiksi Hotels.com:n ja asiakkaan väliseen maksuliikenteeseen.<br />
<br />
Trivago on selkeä ja helppokäyttöinen. Hakua voi rajata budjetin, hotellin tähtiluokituksen ja mieltymysten mukaan, kartan avulla yms.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ajoittain joillain nettimatkatoimistoilla (OTA = Online Travel Agency), kuten <a href="http://www.ebookers.fi/" target="_blank">ebookers</a>, on kampanjoita, joita hyödyntämällä voi säästää jonkin verran kun varaa sekä lennon että majoituksen samalla. Saman OTA:n eri maiden sivuistoilla saattaa olla suuriakin eroja hinnoissa, kuten esimerkiksi tällä hetkellä:<br />
<br />
Englannin ebookers.co.uk:n kautta business-luokan lennot Lontoo - Bali ja kahden yön majoitus Villa Anjing -hotellissa 1192£ eli 1384€, lentoyhtiönä Malaysian Airlines ja välilasku Kuala Lumpurissa.<br />

<br />
<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />Suomen ebookers.fi :n kautta Lontoo - Bali n. 2500€, joskin tuohon hintaan lentoyhtiönä on Emirates, joten hinnat eivät ole täysin vertailukelpoiset, mutta havainnollistaa eroja...<br />
<br />
<br />
Isot hotelliketjut yrittävät houkutella asiakkaita varaamaan huoneen omien sivujensa tai appsin kautta mm. tarjoamalla ilmaisen, nopeamman WiFi-yhteyden, ja myöntämällä kanta-asiakaspisteitä vain omien sivujensa kautta tehtyihin varauksiin. Mm. Hiltonilla oli 31.01.2017 asti voimassa kampanja, jossa huonehintoihin sai alennusta max. -30% ja mobiliisovelluksen kautta varatessa kolminkertaiset kanta-asiakaspisteet. Joskus kannattaa tarkistaa suoraan hotelliketjun sivuilta hinta ja miettiä, onko järkevämpi varata suoraan vai jonkin muun matkatoimiston kautta.<br />

Lennot - Skyscanner ja Google Flights</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Lentojen osalta hakuvaihtoehtoja on monia, ja suosituimpia ovat kenties <a href="http://www.momondo.com/" target="_blank">momondo</a>, <a href="http://www.skyscanner.fi/" target="_blank">skyscanner</a>, ja <a href="https://www.fi.kayak.com/flights" target="_blank">kayak</a>. Skyscanner on siitä hyvä, että se tuo tuloksiin myös halpalentoyhtiöitä, jotka saattavat monelta muulta hakusivustolta jäädä puuttumaan. Voit myös etsiä vaikkapa Helsingistä lentoja "Kaikkialle" päivän, tai vaikka kuukauden mukaan.</div>

Tässä Skyscannerin hakutulokset Helsingistä kesäkuulle 2017.</div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Google ei ole jäänyt toimettomaksi tässäkään, ja tarjoaa varsin kelvollisen palvelun <a href="https://www.google.com/flights/" target="_blank">Google Flights</a>, joka on todella nopea, ja visuaalisesti selkeästi erilainen edellisiin verrattuna.</div>
<div>
Google Flightsin hyvä puoli on se, että melko nopealla silmäyksellä voi etsiä hintoja moniin matkustuskohteisiin kun vaan syöttää hakukenttiin itselle sopivat päivämäärät. </div>

Jos keräät maileja ja pisteitä lentoyhtiöiden kanta-asiakasohjelmiin, kannattaa kiinnittää huomiota lentolippujen lippuluokkaan tai varausluokkaan (fare class tai fare code) . Se määritellään yhdellä kirjaimella, A-Z.<br />
<br />
Lippuluokasta riippuen saat kanta-asiakaspisteitä 0-x, ja halvimmista lipuista saa tietenkin vähiten. Lippuluokan näkee mm. ebookersin ja expedian sivuilta, tässä tapauksessa alhaalla kohdassa<br />
Economy (N).<br />

Sivun monikäyttöisyyttä lisää se, että hakuja voi tehdä vaikka lentokentältä hotellille, kaupungista toiseen ja hetken päästä tuloksista löytyy sekä matkaan kuluva aika, että hinta-arvio. Kuljetusvaihtoehtoina voivat olla myös lentokoneet ja laivat.<br />

Eli ensin rautatieasemalta junalla lentokentälle, josta lentäen Arlandaan, ja sieltä junalla Tukholman keskustaan. Todella kätevää.<br />
<br />
Toivottavasti näistä on jotain apua matkaa suunnittelevalle.<br />

Qatar Airways launched yet another set of deals with their Travel Festival 2017 promotion.<br />The fares are up to 50% off, and you get another 15% off paying with Visa. For those into Qatar Airways' frequent flyer program you get double Qmiles, and there are raffles for those who buy their tickets directly on Qatar Airways website. The offers are valid for travel between January 11 – December 15, 2017, and you have to book January 9 – 16.<br /><br /><br />This time it seems the deals are not that exciting in business class but there are some interesting ones (the example prices excluding the VISA discount), ie. from:<br />

<title> Review: DoubleTree by Hilton Krakow Hotel</title>
</head>
<h3>
Introduction</h3>
<div dir="ltr">
We decided to take a little family vacation with my mom included, and I ended up booking two Executive rooms in DoubleTree Hilton Krakow, Poland for 5 nights in June. None of us had been to Poland before and I had heard positive comments about Krakow. The DoubleTree Hilton is a new hotel and from the photos the pool area looked really nice and I thought it would be the most important factor for our daughter who's keen on swimming.</div>

We arrived by taxi from the airport after about 2 hours' direct Finnair flight from Helsinki. The taxi took about 30mins and brought us to the front of the hotel. Curiously there is also a Hampton by Hilton Krakow, which is next to the DoubleTree.</div>

<h3>
Lobby and check-in</h3>
<div dir="ltr">
From the outside the hotel looks a bit...dull, I guess. But once you enter, the experience transforms. At least it happened to us. The lobby is very light, there is open space and although not luxurious, it's neat, nice and functional.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
We were greeted by a friendly associate, who was training at the time being. It took around 10mins to sort it all out - we had two rooms but only one was ready at the time of check-in. We were also given cookies, a map and some instructions to get to the city etc.</div>

<h3>
Executive Room</h3>
<div dir="ltr">
We took the lift up to the 5th floor and made our way to the first room that was ready, piled our luggage there and checked how the room was. It was marvelous. We enjoyed the design, functionality, large TV and a good-sized bathroom. With multiple power outlets there shouldn't be a problem to have your electronic appliances charged.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
All the Executive Rooms are located on the 5th floor.<br />

<h3>
Executive Lounge</h3>
<div dir="ltr">
After a bit of unpacking we went to have a coffee in the Executive Lounge.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The lounge is just lovely. The colors, layout, furniture, staff. Super.<br />
Upon entering there is desk, which seems to be occupied most of the time the lounge is open, so you'll be hard pressed not to get some assistance from the staff if you so require.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I think the size of the lounge is great, since it is small and intimate enough to properly enjoy it. To be honest, it wasn't very crowded at any time we were there and we found plenty of seating each and every time we were there, which was quite often ;)</div>
<div dir="ltr">
All the time the staff seemed to be ready and eager to help, were polite and friendly and gave good suggestions as where to go and what to do. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
We returned to the hotel later in the afternoon to enjoy the lounge offerings.<br />
We were surprised to find such a variety of dishes and snacks to taste. Depending on the day there were starter kinds of things like little glasses of gazpacho, small breads with salmon or ham, fresh salad items and warm dishes like zurek (excellent local rye soup), chicken, rice, vegetables etc. <br />
We were impressed! It all looked good and was tasty.</div>

<h3>
Spa</h3>
<div dir="ltr">
In the evening we paid a visit to the Spa area downstairs. First we went to a counter to get a locker key and sign for the visit. On the left side of the counter there is a gym that looked pretty well equipped, and on the right there is the pool. <br />
Then off to changing room for a shower which after to see the pool area. It was surprisingly nice looking and our daughter appreciated the water being of sufficient warmth in the bigger pool and nice and hot in the smaller one. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
There is also a steam and a normal sauna in the spa area.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Overall, quite impressive!</div>
<div dir="ltr">

<br /></div>
<h3>
Breakfast</h3>
<div dir="ltr">
Breakfast was available both in the main restaurant and in the Executive Lounge. We are twice in the restaurant and three times in the lounge. The selection was of course a bit better (with an omelet station) downstairs but otherwise we enjoyed having the breakfast in the lounge as it was much more peaceful and relaxing. The quality of food was good throughout our stay.<br />
This time we didn't have dinner at the hotel so can't comment about that.<br />

<h3>
Bottomline</h3>
-WiFi worked well the whole time at the hotel and the speed was fast enough for our use.<br />
<br />
-Staff and service - excellent! Very well done. Almost on par with <a href="http://finnatcotravels.blogspot.com/2016/10/review-hilton-tallinn-park.html" target="_blank">Hilton Tallinn Park</a>.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
-The location wasn't too bad. Although away from the center of Krakow, the connection was straightforward and inexpensive and the trams ran frequently.<br />
<br />
We were more than happy to have stayed at this hotel. For the price we paid I think you couldn't get much better price/quality ratio.<br />

<h4>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Other points to consider with the sale:</span></h4>
<div dir="ltr">
Qatar Airways claims it's a "two for price of one", but actually the starting price for one here is a bit higher that can usually be found on their website, so I would approach some of the deals with caution.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Qatar Airways' Krabi route opens 6 December 2016.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Book by 7 November for travel from 15 November 2016 to 15 June 2017.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: white;">With the sale you also earn 2x Qmiles, the Qatar Airways frequent flyer program (FFP).</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: white;">Other options are to credit the miles to some other oneWorld airline's FFP, such as British Airways Executive Club or Finnair Plus - both of which credit 125% redeemable miles of the miles flown.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: white;">You can easily check the numbers from <a href="http://wheretocredit.com/">wheretocredit.com</a> to see which option you would prefer.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: white;">If you have elite status with American Airlines, it might make sense to credit there for redeemable miles.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: white;">On the other hand, British Airways Silver status (oneWorld Sapphire) can be achieved from zero with one of these Qatar roundtrips plus 4 BA flights.</span></div>

<title>Review: Restaurant Pegasus, Tallinn</title>
</head>
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Before leaving to Tallinn I made a few bookings to different restaurants, and this one was called Pegasus. It's located in the Old Town and we hadn't been there before so we wanted to give it a try since the reviews in Tripadvisor were quite solid.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We were running a bit tight on our schedule since we enjoyed the <a href="http://finnatcotravels.blogspot.com/2016/10/review-hilton-tallinn-park.html" target="_blank">Hilton Tallinn Park</a>'s lovely SPA for quite a while, so we used an app called Taxify to get a ride from the hotel to the Old Town. It was easy and affordable! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The building itself isn't one of the prettiest in this part of the city but we weren't going to sit outside and look at it :) Otherwise the area is quite lovely!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a;">First we were served complimentary house bread, which was warm, succulent and looked amazing. It was basically white bread that had also beer in the dough giving it a darker color and a terrific twist in taste. There were pumpkin seeds in it, too. It was served with butter with salt grains on top. Perfect!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a;">For children there isn't that much choice, but ours went for a chicken pasta, which was big and tasty.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a;">For starter I had Oriental Duck Salad, which was absolutely superb. A lovely mix of ingredients and different Oriental flavors with nicely prepared pieces of duck. It looked great and tasted even better.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a;">My wife ordered a Creamy soup from wild mushrooms. It was smooth and full of flavor. There were croutons in the soup, and they were also just perfect: not too soft, not too dry.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a;">For main courses we chose a Bean stew on toast, and Wild game picked by the chef.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a;">My wife fell in love with the toast and I agree: it was incredible. Real comfort food at its best. The goat cheese on top of the toast hit the spot. There was a poached egg that was again beautifully done.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a;">The game dish was exquisite: meat was tender and the surface of a beautiful, grilled color. Lingonberry-red wine sauce worked really well with the game. Baked red onion was mostly savored by our child ;) The dish looked like a piece of art.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a;">We had a bottle of Prosecco which was a good choice since it worked well throughout the meal.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #4a4a4a;">Service was friendly and professional.

<title> Review: Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel</title>
</head>
<br />
<h3>
Introduction</h3>
<div dir="ltr">
This is my personal review of Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel.
<br />
<br />
A little autumn break was due so we decided to take a little family vacation in Tallinn, Estonia and try the new Hilton Tallinn Park, of which we had heard praise from my colleagues. I booked a four night stay in a King Deluxe Room with a view for three persons. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
We took a boat trip in a completely packed Tallink Silja SuperStar on a beautiful, sunny Wednesday morning and arrived on time in Tallinn. The disembarkation took quite a while and it was a longish walk before entering the terminal. Outside were taxis and we took one to take us into the hotel. </div>

<h3>
Lobby and check-in</h3>
<div>
When you step in to the hotel, the first <a href="https://exp.cdn-hotels.com/hotels/1000000/70000/64400/64311/71a3c362_z.jpg" target="_blank">view</a> is quite fabulous. The lobby is gorgeous and modern with a high ceiling and dark, beige and golden colors. In the middle there is a bar which looked awesome and seemed to invite clients at all times of day. We were immediately impressed. A nice <a href="http://www.hiltonhotels.com/assets/img/Hotel%20Images/Hilton/T/TLLHIHI/TLLHIHI_gallery_cafelinnutte01.jpg" target="_blank">photo</a> on the Hilton website.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On the right side there are check-in counters to which we proceeded and were greeted by very friendly employees. When finding out we were booked in an executive room they gave an option to check-in in the lounge. We liked the idea and they made a call to the executive lounge to inform we were coming and showed us to the elevators.</div>
<div>

Up we went to the 11th floor and the lounge was directly facing the elevators. We walked to the door and another friendly employee came to let us in and helped with the check-in while we had a drink in a window table and marveled at the beautiful autumn scenery towards the city of Tallinn.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
In a few minutes we had our room keys and took our bags again to take them into our room 1007 on the 10th floor.</div>

<h3>
Executive Room</h3>
<div>
As the hotel itself, the <a href="http://www3.hilton.com/resources/media/hi/TLLHIHI/en_US/img/hotel/roomtypeimages/main/HL_kingguestroom01_386x310_FitToBoxSmallDimension_Center.jpg" target="_blank">room</a> has very pleasant and appealing decor and everything looks brand new.<br />
For those who need space for working there is a decent sized desk with USB and power outlets in the corner next to the window.<br />
<br />
A stylish, thin 42-inch TV is on the wall in an unobtrusive way.<br />

On a small round table there was a welcome letter along with a small bottle of Vana Tallinn liquor, and thin rye bread with cheese and cloudberry jam. A wonderful and tasty local greeting!<br />

<br />
Beds are comfortable and big though some of the pillows could be more distinctively different. They all felt a bit soft but we had a good night's sleep anyway. We had a king bed and an extra rollaway bed for the child.<br />
<br />
On both sides of the bed there are small tables and over them little reading lights. Two power outlets are provided near the tables as well.<br />
<br />
The bathroom was of good size and had both a shower and a bath.<br />
One strange thing is the door that leads from the bedroom to the bathroom. When you open the door to enter bathroom, the same door functions also for the loo. Thus it is not overly private to go to the toilet when there are other people present in the bedroom. But it's not a big issue in my opinion, though.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<h3>
Executive Lounge</h3>
<div>
The lounge is located on the uppermost (11th) floor facing the city of Tallinn with a glimpse of harbor and the Gulf of Finland. The decor is elegant as in the other parts of the hotel.<br />
There is personnel in the lounge during its operational hours, so there should't be any hardship to find assistance for booking a table at a local restaurant or getting some hints as to where to go and what to see.<br />
<br />
On the far right corner there are two iMac work stations and a printer, which I used later on to print some ferry tickets.<br />
<br />
There are chairs and couches around quite a large area that still feels private and the view is definitely gorgeous from here.<br />

Breakfast can be had at either the lounge or the main restaurant, and we did try both. On the first morning we wanted to enjoy the view as the weather was terrific so we opted for the lounge breakfast.<br />
It was adequate, but the food selection is of course much bigger at The Able Butcher.<br />
Basic items were present, such as tea and coffee, juice, cereals, fruit, bacon, bread and croissants.<br />

The lounge had a Happy Hour from 6pm to 8pm when you could have complimentary drinks and light snacks. There was Vodka, Gin and one kind of red and white wine available and a few different kinds of warm and cold options for food. Perhaps they could add a sparkling wine to the collection? As well as hot chocolate, which our daughter missed.<br />

Spa</h3>
<div>
Spa (treatment facilities, pool and gym) is located on the 2nd floor together with the restaurant.<br />
When entering the pool area you sign your name and room number, and you're given a rubbery bracelet kind of electronic locker key.<br />
<br />
The changing room is stylish and there is a restroom, two shower cubicles and large desk with hair dryers.<br />
<br />
The pool area is strikingly beautiful and it's nice and warm there. The main pool is 18m long heated to 30.5c whereas the jacuzzi is 36.5c. About ten loungers are facing the pool and you can find a few additional ones in a more secluded space if you venture further left close to the saunas. There is a conventional Finnish sauna and a steam one, both of which were perfectly fine.<br />

I made a reservation for my wife and myself to try a 60 min massage. I opted for an Elemis Freestyle Deep Tissue Massage. The process started by filling out a form and waiting for the therapist to come and take you to the treatment room.<br />
My therapist's name was Inna and as like the rest of the staff at this Hilton, she was lovely: friendly, smiling, professional and spoke excellent English.<br />
<br />
The massage was very good and relaxing, exactly like it should have been. Inna asked me to let her know if she should apply more pressure or adjust the room temperature etc.<br />
<br />
The little details make a spa visit worthwhile: Beautiful surroundings, scented and harmonic treatment rooms, groomed and nicely dressed therapists and faint, relaxing music.In every way, ELEMIS Spa at Hilton Tallinn Park delivered :)<br />
<br />

<h3>
Dining </h3>
<div>
We tried the lighter breakfast on the first morning in the Exec Lounge, but the next three days we chose the main restaurant due to the bigger variety of breakfast items.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Breakfast was of good quality and always looked delicious. Again, service was superb. Every morning we were greeted with a genuine smile and a warm welcome. The staff were proactive and always ready to fill up your empty glasses or coffee mugs.<br />
<br />
We enjoyed the luxury of having an omelet station and loved the quality of bread and croissants.<br />
It was nice to see local dishes present, too.<br />

We dined once at The Able Butcher and the restaurant surroundings were very pleasing to the eye in the evening.<br />
<br />
We found a few dishes to try - ladies tried burgers whereas I gave a shot at risotto.<br />
The burgers were handsome and large, the buns were of beautiful color and the burger itself was juicy and lovely.<br />
<br />
The risotto was excellent! Rice was perfectly cooked and taste was delicate. I asked for a suitable white wine to accompany the dish and a German Riesling was suggested. I tried it and it worked well :)<br />

Bottomline</h3>
<div>
We were extremely pleased and impressed by the level of service at Hilton Tallinn Park. Much more so than at <a href="http://finnatcotravels.blogspot.fi/2016/10/review-hilton-strand-hotel-helsinki_56.html">Hilton Helsinki Strand</a> we visited a few weeks earlier. The staff was friendly, talkative without being pushy, helpful and hard-working, always polite and smiling. Kudos to the management for doing a great job hiring so good staff.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
The Spa area was beautiful and treatments offered were very good. My wife said the massage she experienced in the hands of Kristiina, was one of the best she's ever had.<br />
<br />
Thanks in part to excellent food and service in restaurants (like <a href="http://finnatcotravels.blogspot.fi/2016/10/review-restaurant-pegasus-tallinn.html" target="_blank">Pegasus</a>) across Tallinn this ended up being one of the best holidays for our family so far.</div>
<div>
We will definitely return, hopefully sooner than later!</div>

<title> Review: Hilton Strand Hotel Helsinki</title>

<h3>
<br />Introduction, booking and room</h3>
<div dir="ltr">
To celebrate my 36th birthday I booked a King bed room @Hilton Helsinki Strand for our family of three via Hilton App only about two hours before arriving. After about an hour I made a check-in via the app and saw that we were upgraded to an Executive Room on the 7th floor. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
There seemed to be only one room to choose so we ended up in room 737, which is a good number for an aviation enthusiast ;)<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Room keys were swiftly in my hand as there was nobody on the counter before us.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Room was quite spacious and immaculately clean although view was not the best in this case since we were facing an opposite building. Two bottles of water and some candy were waiting as a little extra for a Gold member. The sofa wasn't done to serve as an extra bed yet. The room itself is quite modern and there are power and USB outlets.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The usual - good - Peter Thomas Roth bathroom amenities.<br />
<br /></div>

Executive Lounge</h3>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
After unpacking we walked to the Executive Lounge on the same floor. At that time there were some snacks and fruit available, as well as soft drinks and coffee machine. A few magazines were available just after the entrance. Different kinds of chairs and tables were arranged around the lounge. The furniture and decoration might need an update soon, at least in the seating area left side of the entrance. </div>

The lounge itself is neither very big nor too fancy, but provides a decent place to spend a little time. There's a workstation with an iMac and a printer in a corner. The lounge didn't seem to be staffed other than someone bringing in the food and drinks. The view towards the sea is an added bonus of course!</div>

Soon after was time for some drinks and light supper (canapes), which consisted of excellent duck in lemon sauce, different salad items, grilled aubergine, hummus and some cheese. Unfortunately no photo of the duck dish as it was quite busy right then. The next photos are from a previous visit about 6 months earlier but might give you an idea of what to expect:<br />

There were two kinds of sparkling (an Italian Prosecco and a Spanish Cava) and white wines and one red wine to enjoy. We tried both of the sparkling ones and they were totally acceptable :) It was great that an ice bucket was provided to keep the wines cold.<br />
<br /></div>

After returning to our room we noticed the sofa had been turned into a bed, which was quite big enough for an 8-year-old :)<br />

<h3>
Lobby, bar and restaurant</h3>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
The hotel lobby / bar is gorgeous. I think the design is just great with the high ceiling and nice details. There seemed to be at least some people in the lobby most of the time and no wonder - it's beautiful and inviting!<br />
<br />
The main breakfast area is also here and sort of continuing to the lobby. We ate breakfast here and didn't even go to see the offerings at Executive Lounge. </div>

Breakfast was pretty good though not amazing. There was the normal fruit, bread, yogurt, muesli, bacon as well as Chinese meatballs and some noodles. Croissants were excellent!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
The highlight was when an employee came to ask our daughter if she wanted something for dessert. After about 5mins she came back with a LOVELY Belgian waffle with maple syrup, berries and ice cream. It was delicious and looked spectacular!<br />

Pool and sauna</h3>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
After the breakfast I asked for a late check out. 2pm was approved and so we went up to the top floor (8th) to see the sauna and swimming pool.<br />
<br /></div>

When you enter the area there is a little gym that provides some basic cardio equipment and weights.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I think the sauna area (Gentlemen's side at least) starts to look a bit outdated and it would be great to have lockers there because there's no secure place to put your valuables in. And I wouldn't mind seeing the P.T.Roth amenities in the shower. I just think for a high-end hotel it looks a bit cheap to have some other stuff in the container.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
In the men's sauna the thermometer was broke although you could guess the temperature since the thermometer plate was sort of cracked into two.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
There wasn't any water or other drinks present although there were lots of plastic cups in the dressing room. Obviously you can drink tap water in Finland but still…<br />

At about 1pm we were ready to leave and took a leisurely walk to the railway station in the crisp October wind and sunshine.<br />
<br />
There are tram and metro stops very close to the hotel and there is also an outside market square (Hakaniemen Tori) with a market hall opposite the square.</div>

<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<h3>
<b>Bottomline</b>:</h3>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
A very decent Hilton hotel close to city center with a lovely lobby bar downstairs and a bit tired sauna area. Having properly chilled sparkling wine in the Executive Lounge is the way to go!<br />
Staff were polite but service wasn't as friendly as in the brand new <a href="http://finnatcotravels.blogspot.fi/2016/10/review-hilton-tallinn-park.html">Hilton Tallinn Park</a>, Estonia.<br />
