SQ Boutique Hotel 

I decided to celebrate the new year in Bangkok. I stayed at the hotel for seven days as a solo female traveler. I arrived at 6:30am, check in was at 2pm. I requested the wondeful lady at the front desk (I believe Pan was her name), if I could check in earlier. Only con was I requested a higher floor but if I wanted to check in earlier, I would get a room in the third floor. I said it was no problem. And they did let me transfer to a higher floor a few days later. I was busy during the day of the transfer so they just let me leave all my luggage in the first room, and they moved everything to the higher floor when I got back late at night. All in all - the rooms I stayed at were lovely. Both had great views of the neighborhood. There's a pretty lovely bakery in front which had the most excellent french vanilla cannoli. And the indian restaurant below the hotel is so good. SQ hotel is also walking distance to Benchakitti Park which has its own dog park. The hightlight I think which has convinced me to return to the hotel with my senior citizen mother and aunt were this year were the ladies at the front desk who were so warm, lovely and accommodating (Pan, Aum, Eve, and the rest). One of the ladies, suggested I pop by a smaller mall near platinum which had a great selection of dresses at an unbelievably cheap price but with a much tolerable foot traffic. Visited and shopped there twice - name of the mall is December.
