Phachara Suites are GF, I never got to the pool or gym. I stayed there about a year ago and enjoyed it. The buffet breakfast was pretty basic, I've had a lot better.

The day I find a good breakfast buffet in Thailand, I will celebrate. I usually sleep too late for breakfast anyway :)

Thanks for your input.

I am looking at those 2 hotels for a 3 day stay in October. The prices are basically the same (give or take 100 baht).

I have done some research and both look very good. My main concerns are the swimming pools and fitness centers. Which hotel is better? I prefer free weights. Also can anyone confirm they are guest friendly?

I was just browsing Agoda and saw the Grand Sukhumvit for 1983 baht (+tax and service charge). That seems like a really good deal for a 5 star hotel. Can anyone confirm that it is still guest friendly?
