In short: loved the Dream - exceeded my expectations on every level. We had a standard room, and while a touch small it was perfectly fine for two people with gigantic suitcases and the bathroom size was perfect. As a little color, we last stayed at the Sheraton Grande on Sukhumvit (also great, but that was expected). Did not use the pool since we were running around most of the time so cannot comment on that. 5 mins walk to Asok skytrain and if you like going out, there are tons of spots in the area - Q Bar, Bed Supperclub, and Scratch Dog if you want a real Thai experience. Also a short hop to all the megamalls of BKK.
Don't get turned off by the optional blue lights and somewhat kitschy decor, which actually looks pretty cool in person despite some of the traveler pics that are posted (these initially put me off big time). The Dream was extremely nice, comfortable and clean. Despite some other postings, the beds were king-sized and super comfy - and I am extremely particular about mattress quality both at home and on the road (so midrange hotels in Europe are basically a nightmare for me...). The staff was genuinely very friendly, always cheery and willing to help at all times.
For the price we paid (80USD/night inc. tax+svc no breakfast), the Dream was an amazing value. Do not hesitate to book here. I initially wanted to stay at the Conrad but figured I should save that for a business trip and I have absolutely no regrets.
