Bangkok hotels & places to stay

This is my second visit since last year. Showed some improvement at receptionist counter (More attentive and polite). Check in and out was fast, paid deposit of THB2000 for 3 nights by credit card which will be refund when you check out (Hotel in Bangkok need deposit during stay, so is ok for me). Booked Luxury Room at Main Tower, rooms are spacious, clean with stable wifi and clean big bath room with clean bathtub, everything as show in Agoda website. Only downside is the bathroom, very slippery floor, so be careful everyone. (I nearly fell a few times during my stay, hope something can be done before accident happens for other guest). Last of all, this hotel is very close to most shopping center in Pratunam and there are a lot of small night stall outside hotel and famous chicken rice are just opposite of hotel but will need to walk around 15-20 mins to reach nearest BTS. Will still choose to stay here if there's room promotion on my next trip to Bangkok.

Bangkok Marriott hotel The Surowongse is the Best Hotel in Bangkok...clean, comfortable,staff helpfull and take care..Bathroom hotel is great..you can shower like in the rain..Breakfast delicious expecially Thai food. like pad thai,fish ball soup..There also have chinese food , western food and japanese food yummy...Thank you Bangkok Marriott hotel The Surowongse made my holiday memorable ever after..

One of my favorite hotels in Bangkok, if not, in all of Thailand. Let's consider the price first. Chances are, on most nights, you can get a high floor room here. Considering the location (Siam shopping/nightlife), and... that this is an authentic 5 star, you just won't go wrong. The only minor setback: just one restaurant in this entire (massive) hotel. But the fact the restaurant has amazing staff (I've stayed here many times- they always remember me, even by my nickname)... and the food is truly classy, I'm ok with it. The hotel itself, is elegant, classy... room decor is a perfect mix of modern/chic style, with a hint of bohemian/classic. Very nicely designed rooms, that make it a true 5 star. I'm a fitness buff... so I can't stand hotels that delegate a small room in a basement somewhere, put two treadmills, and a workout ball in the middle, and then say "fitness center" included... this hotel, has a real gym- with real machines- even a smith machine (bench press, shoulder press, etc) with sufficient 20 kg plates around for a serious workout. Full credits to the hotel for this point. It's a big enough gym and very modern too, to feel like you're in a real gym and be motivated. The spa (included, in the rooms) is nice too- with a great steam room, hot tub, and, sauna. Love staying here... a great workout... then relax in the steam room, and then get some amazing food at their restauarant. Seriously, for this price- you'll have a hard time finding better in this area. I know, for I've tried many others in the area, and always end up coming back here.

Picked this hotel out because it is 1/2 block from Central Embassy and it's amazing Food Hall Eathai. Basically used it as a place to recover from jet lag for a weekend before spring boarding to Hong Kong and Phuket. The price was very reasonable, so I wasn't expecting much. This hotel blew me away! Despite being in a great location with access to the Sky Train and Malls, it is a very well apportioned and relaxing refuge from the city. The staff is very accommodating, the buffet breakfast is excellent and the rooms are spacious, modern and beautiful. The one bedroom suites come with a washer/dryer combo which has allowed me to avoid any laundry fees. Had two other Bangkok hotels booked between and after Hong Kong and Phuket. After viewing Bangkok Hotel #2 and being underwhelmed, I cancelled there and booked at the Grande Centre Point for both of the other Bangkok stays. They stowed my extra luggage while I was out of town. This is a hidden gem. Book it!

In Dec 2008, my girlfriend and I came back to one of my favorite hotels in Bangkok for the first time in several years. It still has one of the best locations for shopping (which my girlfriend loves) and definitely the best swimming pool in all of Bangkok (which attracts me). The rooms have also been upgraded and are nicer, though smaller than before. Thus, among the 4 & 5-star hotels in the city (which I have visited over 50 times in the last 20 years), it is still one of my favorites if not my favorite. However, the prices have also increased markedly and the food choice has been much more limited for several years. The food was always expensive by Bangkok standards, but the old restaurant/bar on the 1F used to have a quite nice variety of simple, normal Thai food at affordable prices. Unfortunately that is no longer the case. Thus, when traveling alone, it no longer makes sense to stay here as there are many reasonable 2- or 3-star alternatives at 1/3 to 1/2 the cost. Nonetheless, if my girlfriend ever wants to go back to Bangkok or if I need stay in a higher class hotel for some reason, I am very likely to come back.

My favourite hotel in Bangkok, with the perfect location for shopping both in the attached centre or if you want to take the BTS and go to all the other Malls... Facilities and rooms are both fantastic and the breakfast is the best you will get in Bangkok Hotels. The staff really look after you - this is the most perfect hotel in the best location in Bangkok. I will definately stay here again and again and would highly recommend it to any travelers looking for the luxury and convenience combination.

Our stay in Bangkok was a short mini vacation to enjoy some sightseeing and shopping. We booked The Shangri-La Hotel in Bangkok after reading the reviews and the hotel is absolutely breathtaking. Hidden inside the bustling area of the city, within walking distance of the small shops and day spas, it was exactly what we were looking for. It is located along the river and from our executive suite room, it was a was a fabulous view. Our package included access to the Horizon Club (where breakfast, all day drinks, evening canapes were served and a delightful private area to just relax) and daily buffet breakfast at the hotel's restaurant. Our room was spacious, with separate living area and full bedroom with king size bed. There were luxurious L'Occitane toiletries provided. Customer service was impeccable as the hotel staff were extremely polite and helpful. There is also a complimentary boat ride to the River City Walk Mall and a night market. The buffet was plentiful, although there was no authentic Thai food served, but American, Chinese and Japanese buffet items, the usual fare served at buffets. The hotel gym was being renovated but the hotel provided an adequate substitute facility in the adjacent wing. Also, I found transportation provided by the hotel was quite pricey at 2700BHT; we took a metered regular taxi from the airport and with tolls amounted 4-450 with tip and to the airport amounted to 500 with tip. Taxi vans are a little more at 600. Taxis taking you around the city may try to coerce you into trying a tour or 2; the drivers have sponsors to take you to their shop or travel agency; we experienced this while we were there. The driver was actually nice though so we agreed and actually the souvenir place was very reasonable. We would definitely return to The Shangri-La when in Bangkok again.

Relaxing holiday in Avani Riverside Bangkok Hotel with friendly staff, infinity pool, rooftop bar lounge. It will be perfect if there is sauna or steam bath. Sufficient choices for breakfast with quality food. Very good Seafood Buffet on Friday. I used eatigo to book a table at 9 pm at half-price. My husband and I were the only customers at the time. Excellent value for money. A small shopping mall at the hotel building provided convenience of some choices if you don't want to go out again by shuttle boat. Only -ve point, promoters for tour package were too aggressive who approached us for cruise or tour package 4 times in 2 days, which made me annoying.

Centara has 2 hotels in Bangkok, this one and Centara Grand at Great world - don't get mixed up. The one at Great World is the bigger (and more expensive) one - but there you also are facing more traffic jams. But it all depends on the purpose of your visit. I did stay in Centara Grand at Central Plaze because we had meetings in Chon Buri, Rayong and Bangkok as well - and this location made it quite easy and fast to travel to the Eastern Sea Board and also to access the business district in Bangkok without too much jam. Also, if you are going back to the new airport in the early afternoon it takes only 30 minutes (taxi approx. 300 Baht). The check-in was fast and efficient, staff at this place very friendly and helpful. Rooms are nicely renovated (have stayed here before a few years back), amenities are well sorted and whatever you need is available. Breakfast is amazingly good, huge spread of different foods, good bread and nice coffee, service a bit slow at rush hour times. The Cappucino Caffee (part of the coffee house) offers cakes, snacks and nice salads if you don't want to eat a full meal. Housekeeping and Engineering function well - no reason at all o complain. Internet seems to be a bit difficult, there is a relatively new law in Thailand regarding wireless log-in - so, it needs some time to get it all set up. Anyhow, if you want to eat somewhere else and not in the hotel (they have several different restaurants, though), there is easy access directly from the hotel to Central Plaza where you can find plenty of restaurants and a decent food court (The Loft) as well. At the same time you can get all your shopping needs covered in this shopping centre - or you take the MRT to other big malls not so far (don't try taxi because that might take a very long time, depending on traffic conditions, which are usually bad). The hotel is still in a kind of upgrading process (by mens of administrative organisation), i.e. check-out at present is a bit slow - but ok.

The Chatrium Suites is an excellent choice in Bangkok - especially if you value the glorious river view, and enjoy the quintessential Bankok visitor experience of traveling by boat on the Chao Phraya river. If you need to frequently travel to the center of Bangkok shopping and activities, the location and boat connection may grow tiresome. Our arrival reception was gloriously welcoming - a group of beaming hotel staff rushed to take our bags, escort us to the room and treat us like returning family. The room was enormous with a spacious kitchen unit, however our unit was not actually equipped to actually cook any meals. Overall the facilities were very good, however our carpet was stained, and a bit frayed. We enjoyed the busy, but comfortable swimming pool which is not quite up to the "destination resort" pool feeling at some similar level Bangkok hotels I have stayed (Nai Lert Park, Antara), but definitely better than the small rooftop hotel pools that seem more typical at Bangkok hotels. I would recommend the nearby Asiatique riverside, restaurant/shopping/entertainment complex . Asiatique is a 5-minute taxi ride (much longer by river, unless you swim) and only 50 baht taxi fare – though on our return to the hotel we had to struggle to find a cab who would use the meter and not charge us a flat 100 baht fare. Asiatique is somewhat touristy, but there seemed to be enough locals to give it an energetic, authentic feel - our meal at Checkmate was very pleasant, and the singer at the 9E Furniture Bar was amazing.

This hotel is a 'real' 5 star hotel. I've stayed in three 5 star hotels in Bangkok prior to Grand Centre Point. This beats them all. The staff are fun and consistently polite to guests. They play with the children interact with the guests and add a nice feel to the hotel. Breakfast had flavourful, good quality produce which was great for 320baht if you don't include breakfast in your booking. The design of the hotel is stylish and modern plus the view from our 26th floor room was amazing. You could see Bangkok for miles. head to the pool with a glass barrier around the outside where Bangkok can be seen... as well as heard quite well! One problem with it was the gym it was a little empty however you don't really spend your time in a gym! One last problem was the Spa area. I really wanted to just go inside and see it before I booked anything however this was prohibited. Even when no one is using it you still can't have a look with a member of staff.

We stayed in this hotel for 4 nights while in Bangkok. The rooms are absolutely BEAUTIFUL, marble everything, great shower, nice tub for baths, free bath bombs, great feeling sheets. You definitely feel like your staying in luxury, but for such a reasonable price! The staff is very attentive and will rush to open the door for you when they see you coming back, carry all your suitcases for you, etc. For the price I don’t think you will be able to find another hotel in Bangkok that offers this much. The breakfast buffet was amazing, they had a western side and Asian side. In the afternoons they serve snacks available to the guests for free from 2pm-5pm which was nice. I would absolutely stay in this hotel again if I come back to Bangkok!

For those who have rated this hotel/serviced apartment complex as anything other than wonderful you are either on drugs or in urgent need of seeing a doctor. I have stayed at the Grande Centre Point (GCP) on four occasions now – total of 32 nights – and I remain convinced it is not just one of the best located (direct access to BTS, main Sukhumvit Road etc) hotels in Bangkok but the best value. Yes, it is not everybody’s budget but for those happy at $100/120 per night (there are days, but not many, when these prices are significantly more expensive) don’t waste your time looking elsewhere. If having shopping on your door step is a plus, then you have the brand new Terminal 21 shopping centre. And you if you want cheaper shopping then the extensive range of street stalls on Sukhumvit Road are just outside. If gym work is a chore to you, the hotel has tried to make it much easier with an extensive array of equipment (not some puny little room stuck somewhere in a corner as with so many hotels in the City) – all with built in tv monitors. If you like a swimming pool and sun deck that is not just a paddle pool with some under-investment in sun loungers, then again GCP wins. And this is before you discover that there is a very generous area given to crazy golf and tennis. What other hotel in the City gives you these facilities ? Many of the great restaurants of Bangkok are on the Sukhumvit stretch, so you have all these within easy walking or taxi (or BTS) distance from you. Terminal 21 itself has many good quality eateries. For the ‘night lovers’ you have Soi Cowboy 100 meters away. Finally if there was a criticism I had in early stays at GCP it was the staff were under-trained but management have obviously put some time and investment into this critical service. So yes I can understand why some people will argue the case for other hotels in Bangkok (there are after all some magnificent ones in the City), they tend they tend to be in a significantly more expensive

This was our first time coming to Bangkok and I was unsure of where to stay. I saw that a lot of hotels were located in Sukhumvit, so I figured they were fairly close together and booked this one based on the user ratings and price. Although, it is a very nice hotel with good rooms and well appointed, my mistake was not knowing how long it would take to get to any meaningful sights by taxi. Traffic is horrible and often takes close to an hour to get to the main attractions. Thankfully, the cost is usually around 200 baht. You have to negotiate flat rates at night, but the taxi drivers will tell you some story about night pricing being higher and they don't run the meter. If you are in Bangkok to shop, then the train will be fine to Siam Station and the shopping is really amazing here. That wasn't on our agenda, but we did check out the mall, since we wanted to buy some mobile phones for our next month of travel through SE Asia. One thing we found out too late was that the Marriott down the street is known for having an amazing rooftop bar and it could have been an alternative option for something to do in the area instead of going to other regions of Bangkok. If the hotel were in a more convenient location, it would have garnered almost all 5 stars. If you plan on just shopping and using the Sky Train to sssssssss, then you will be fine. The cost is super cheap (34 baht) from Siam to Thong Lo (station is only a 5 min walk to the hotel).

In my opinion, the lebua is one of the best hotels in Bangkok. Although we did only stay there for one night, we enjoyed the stay very much. The room was huge, with a big bed, couches and complimentary minibar. The room attendant was very professional and caring. As we did arrive too late in the evening to get to the tower club lounge, we were provided with complimentary drinks as a compensation. Best of all was the view over the city from the balcony in the 57th floor, espacially at night. There are a lot of interesting streets you can walk around close to the lebua, but it is also easy to get to the bts from there. A must-see is the bar/restaurant in the hotel, breeze, where you can fetch drinks and food while looking at the skyline of Bangkok - wonderful.

I enjoyed the stay at the Continent. It clearly follows a successful formula for Bangkok of providing a sophisticated product that comes across as having all the frills. The staff we genuinely hospitable and very efficient and professional and were helpful throughout which is a standard for all the better hotels in Bangkok. Ftether than that I would say my experience of the staff was on a par with hotels that might be charging a rate of 50% more. It does not really have the size and scale to feel like a 5 star property, I think that it is better classed as a very good quality boutique 4-star hotel. The rooms like the above indicates were well thought out with sexy design elements and fairly good quality fittings and maintenance but uses a lot of clever design ideas to mask the fact that they are not in fact all that large hence my reluctance to agree that it is a 5-star property. That said it was a quality and enjoyable experience staying in the room. Certainly for the price the hotel delivered plenty of value and is an easy recommendation to friends and family who want to stay. -there also was not much sign of any of the sleaziness that can be evident in other hotels in Bangkok.

i would rated this as one of the best hotel in bangkok. Check in was very smooth and we have been upgraded. The check in was done in the suite. The room is big and clean with lot of space and spectacular view from the balcony. Staffs are politely trained, being really informative and helpful. The sky bar is a must visit place althought the food is super expensive. Price of drink is acceptable compare to others 5 stars hotel in bangkok. Breakfast was one of the best i ever had in Bangkok after staying in at least 10 5 stars hotel.

If you’re looking for a five-star hotel in Bangkok we are at the center of everything staying in an upscale district that this is the place for you. High-end shopping is everywhere and thank Co if you’re looking for a five-star hotel in Bangkok where you’re at the center of everything staying in an upscale district that this is the place for you. High-end shopping is everywhere. The BTS sky train Is right at the entrance of the property giving you access to all of Bangkok

This is my 3rd stay at this hotel and I can say with confidence that this is the best hotel in Bangkok. I had several needs that this hotel quickly accomodated. We needed to book some tickets to Siam Niramit and I inquired at the front desk, next thing I know we were booked and they wanted to give us directions which I already had. This is a soup to nuts hotel, if you need anything it will be done. The suite is a wonderfully decorated and functional room. It will not disappoint. Love the bidet toilet seats by Toto and the quality fixtures. The bar is a great place to grab a drink and enjoy the city view outside. The breakfast has just about everything you could want, but I try not to indulge too much and everything is just so tempting. I enjoyed the wonderful pool with a view. The internet always worked. The keycards never had a problem. I had numerous packages delivered here. I had several VIPs in Bangkok visit me here. Never a problem with them handling very expensive packages nor taking care of my friends who were always impressed when they came to visit. I didn't have to worry about them being rudely treated. So after all is said and done, don't even think twice about staying here. This should be your first choice, you will not be disappointed. I've traveled to Bangkok so many times and stayed at so many hotels here and this is at the top of the list.

We choose 137 pillars residence for our last night stay in Bangkok before flying back home and we were so happy with our choice. We stayed in a one bedroom residence, first we wanted to book a suite but the residence was totally fine, much better than we expected, we were on 22th floor and there was a small balcony with stunning view over Bangkok. It was very beautiful decorated, the size of residence is bigger than many other hotel rooms we had been with the same price (or higher) and what we really love are their bathroom amenities from panpuri and harnn!! The hotel itself is a luxury boutique hotel, the moment we entered the entrance we already felt relaxed. Staff are all very friendly, especially concierge I rate them with 6 stars, they are very helpful and I can tell that not every 5 stars hotel in Bangkok are like this. A big plus is that the hotel has a room on 27th fl. for after check-out you still can use the room to rest, taking shower etc. We will definitely come back again!

Choosing a hotel in Bangkok is not easy since there are hundreds of options. We visited Bangkok as first-time tourists and we stayed first in Arcadia Suites Phloen Chit for 1 night but we are not satisfied with the location, so we decided to transfer here in Eastin Hotel Sathorn for 2 nights. Location is convenient because it is just right there in Surasak BTS. This is just one station away to Saphan Taksin where the Central Pier in Chao Phraya River is located. From this pier, you can take the Express Boats going to the Grand Palace & Emerald Buddha, Wat Pho, Wat Arun, Asiatique the Riverfront. This hotel is ideal if you are going to visit these spots. But if you are in Bangkok for shopping, I suggest you book hotels around Chitlom Station, near the Central World Shopping Mall and Siam Paragon. Room is spacious, clean, comfortable. The only one thing that is lacking is the toilet bidet. Our stay in Eastin is very relaxing and we appreciate the hotel comfort and ambiance a lot.

In terms of location, the hotel is little bit off the "hot spots" of Bangkok, so you need to take subway westward one stop (16 baht) to Silom or eastward 3 stops (20 baht) to Sukhumvit for all the shopping and dinning experience. The best part of the hotel is its in room amenities. You've got carpet, bed reading light, extra pillows, separate shower/bath tube, various illuminating lights, CISCO phone which displays your name on it, and Bangkok Post delivered to your door. I think the amenities and room decoration standards are substantially better than those range hotels in Bangkok downtown area. Hotel staff are also very helpful. One thing is that the hotel is close to a main street so car noise can be heard in the room. But if you can tolerate low speed air conditioning in the sleep, this should not be an issue. I will seriously consider this hotel for my next stay in Bangkok.

me and my friend were looking for something cool and edgy boutique hotels in bangkok and found this one on the internet. this was the least expensive hotel among the 3 hotels we stayed in thailand (the other 2 are grande centre point and intercontinental resort hua hin). to our surprise, the room size is huge with all the necessary in-room facilities that u need. everything feels truly 5 stars and staff are nice and helpful. breakfast was also not bad. location is 3-5min walk from bts station so its very convenient. however most of the taxi drivers struggled to find this hotel. normally i am too lazy to give any feedback for the hotels but this hotel really deserves some compliment. highly recommended!

You will be contnted on your choice of hotels with Jasmine suites. Very close to MRT and Asok BTS, 50 meters from the main road. Swimming pool and spa area with sauna in the ladies change room, i guess theres one in the mens changing room. the gym is quite large and well equipped although in the next building is a californa gym that will encourage even the laziest of us. The hotel staff were great after a few communication difficulties not enough staff speak english. The restaraunt provides excellent food at a great price. set breakfast can be purcashed for 300Baht, internet in the room is 350Baht a day. There are two computers in the lobby free and free wireless in the lobby and pool area. The pool is small but adequate. I have stayed in many hotels in Bangkok this is one of the best for price location and stars. The ensuites both have huge baths with floor to ceiling windows and a great view over the city. We had a great stay and will come again.

my first stay at the royal benja in bangkok, probably my seventh or eighth visit to bangkok. of the hotels i've stayed at, i'd pick royal benja over all of them (except perhaps the j.w. marriott, but that hotel is in a radically different price range). it is conveniently located, about 2 blocks off sukhumvit rd, and about 3-4 blocks from the nana bts station so getting anywhere in bangkok is a breeze. it was also perfect for me since i booked a physical at bumrungrad international hospital, about 2 blocks away. a lot of bangkok hotels have tub/showers with tiny instantaneous water heaters. royal benja has both a tub and a separate walk in shower with great water pressure and as much hot water as you can take. after a 26 hour flight (counting layovers), it was great! my only disappointment was the included breakfast. i guess i have been spoiled by the montien in pattaya. the royal benja breakfast was fine, included the usual odd assortment of eggs, pancakes, and tossed green salad, just not expansive like some others. still i got plenty to eat.

we originally booked a studio room, but on our arrival (at about 8am) we asked for an early check in. there were no studio rooms available so, for an extra ฿1,000, we were upgraded to a 2 bed suite. nice! all the rooms had separate air con, we had a living room, two bathrooms, a kitchen (with cooker, fridge freezer, microwave and washing machine/dryer) and a small balcony. nice modern decor and lighting. the beds were comfortable, not too soft and not as hard as some beds in thai hotels. plenty of wardrobe space and a safe in the master bedroom. a tv in both bedrooms and a tv dvd player in the living room. sofa + one chair and a dining table+ 4 chairs. there was a problem with the key card, it wouldn't open on two occasions, the staff were very quick to help and on the second occasion discovered that the battery in the lock needed changing. this was done quickly and efficiently by the very helpful and friendly hotel staff. the hotel is very well located for travel around bangkok. in the street outside there are two 7-11's a number of bars and restaurants, and street food vendors (very good noodle soup stall just out of the hotel, to the right). it is about 5 minutes walk to chid lom bts station and taxis can be hailed in the street outside the hotel. ฿50 to most central locations like mbk paragon etc. the door staff will go and flag one down for you while you wait in the lobby if it's raining. the view from the 33rd floor pool deck is definitely worth a look, stunning views of bangkok at night! overall this is a great hotel and agoda's discount makes it well worth the few extra baht over the cheaper alternatives. quite a 'hi-so' place but even though we are definitely not 'hi-so' people, we were made to feel very welcome by the staff who were very friendly and helpful. i only put 1 star for food/dining as we didn't eat in the hotel, so can't comment.
