Shama Properties in Bangkok

Booking was a breeze, and check-in was very efficient, though a deposit was required. The room was spacious and well-equipped, with all necessary amenities. The gym was particularly impressive – very large with a wide array of professional equipment, including a ping-pong table (sadly, my girlfriend beat me several times!). The breakfast, in partnership with The Breakfast Club, was excellent. The hotel's views were also a highlight. However, there were a few downsides. The hotel is currently undergoing renovations, and the hallway on our floor was boarded up. One elevator was out of service due to the construction. The location itself isn't ideal, and the soundproofing could be better; even on the top floor, we could clearly hear constant traffic noise throughout the day. Overall, it was a good stay with great value for money. I'd recommend this hotel if you plan to primarily use taxis for transportation, as the surrounding area isn't very walkable – there's a lack of clear sidewalks and the road outside is quite busy.

Shama Yen Akat is my absolute go-to hotel in Bangkok. I highly recommend it, especially for travelers who need to get a bit of work done each day. If you’re booking, I suggest requesting a corner room on a high floor. The city views are beautiful, and during the winter months, you can open the balcony door to enjoy the breeze in the morning and evening. My daily ritual is waking up with a cup of coffee as the sun rises, then using those early hours to make calls to the US, catch up on emails, and get some writing done. While the breakfast at the hotel restaurant is yummy, I usually order in via Grab. I always make sure to head down and say hello to my favorite staff members, Mink, Bank, or Yu, they are wonderful! The location is great because you’re only a 15–20 minute Grab ride away from the major tourist spots. However, if you’re over the traffic and crowds, the neighborhood right around the hotel has a Starbucks and several nice restaurants. The 3rd-floor pool and gym are also big draws; they’re popular but never feel overcrowded or rowdy. As a solo traveler, I always feel safe here. The hotel tends to attract a mature, well-traveled crowd. And for the dog lovers: this is definitely your spot! It’s a very pet-friendly establishment, and it seems like at least a quarter of the guests bring their dogs along.

As a frequent business traveler, a decent hotel with approachable location and handy facilities are required. Shama meets all these requirements! If you land at DMK, it only takes you less than half an hour to reach the Hotel without any worry for the traffic jam. Meanwhile, the Hotel is situated at a quiet area with shops, restaurants and massage shops surrounded. The hotel staff are super friendly and helpful to provide you information of staying in Bangkok. I stay in a suite room with living area, where you could find a small kitchen. The bed is really comfortable and tidy. Specifically, the shower is really good since the water pressure is high enough. Indeed, the price of this Hotel is really friendly, so you don't need to pay too much, but enjoy a very cozy room! When I travel again in Bangkok, I definitely choose this one again! How about you?

Sharma is a wall away from JW Marriott, and a wall away from the entertainment street Nana. Nana is super noisy at night till about 5am in the morning, if u are facing Nana and a light sleeper, then u are in trouble. The room and living room is big, comes with an open kitchen and a washing machine. No coffee machine, but there is a 8am to 11am B375 breakfast. Which is well worth the price.
