Reviews and Ratings
Staying in the Krungthep Wing was a delight with rooms offering beautiful views of the Chao Phraya River, though some parts looked dated and shabby. The Thai silk accents and furnished balcony added charm despite minor issues like a leaking shower and malfunctioning TV remote.
The hotel attempted to charge me again for a room that was already paid for in advance, and the 'semi-river view' required significant effort to see the river. The NYE party experience could have been enhanced with a communal dance floor accessible to all guests.
The hotel offers a mix of dated rooms and well-appointed bathrooms. While the NYE party lacked a communal dance floor, the lounge is a highlight. The friendly service and fabulous river location make up for the dated rooms.
The hotel was a bit overpriced for the New Year's Eve stay, but the room had a balcony overlooking the river and skyscrapers. However, cleanliness was a major issue, with dust and dirt everywhere, despite requesting cleaning.
The hotel had some nice perks like a good working and sitting area in the rooms from London, but unless you really plan to use the balcony, others may be better value and slightly cheaper. The friendly and warm service elevators made my stay worthwhile, besides being directly at the Chao Praya river, which is a major charm of the Shangri-La in Bangkok.
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were clean, spacious, and offered a stunning view of the pool, river, and the city. The classic design in the Krung Rep Wing was not entirely my taste, but still nice. The service was incredibly accommodating, making my overall experience great.
Staying at this hotel was an amazing experience. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and luxurious, offering a quiet atmosphere on the top floors and access to the stunning Horizon Club Lounge. The location, right on the river, was excellent for sightseeing despite some traffic issues. The dining options were extensive and catered to every nationality, with exceptional staff ensuring a perfect meal each day. Overall, a top-notch stay with a few minor drawbacks.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The rooms were large and spotless, making my stay very comfortable. The service was nice and friendly, with just the right level of attentiveness. The location was perfect, right on the river, providing a peaceful ambiance and convenient access to transportation. The dining experience was amazing, offering a wide range of delicious options for breakfast.
My stay at the hotel was a mixture of great experiences and a few drawbacks. The rooms, though beautiful and spacious with lovely Thai silk accents and a furnished balcony with river views, were very humid even with the air conditioning on high. The recently added Horizon Club Lounge was a real gem and worth the extra cost, providing a wonderful experience. Being close to the bridge, it got a bit noisy at times.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was fantastic, nestled between the river and Silom road, making it super convenient to explore Bangkok. The rooms were not only clean and tidy but also offered breathtaking views of the city lights and dinner cruises passing by. Having a bath after a day of exploring was just heavenly. The staff were extremely friendly and went above and beyond to assist me with everything I needed; from making reservations to arranging tailor-made clothes in just 48 hours. The only downside was that some service staff seemed unwilling to provide assistance. The dining experience was delightful, with a variety of cuisines to choose from and stunning views across the Chao Phraya River. The facilities were top-notch, and the hotel's proximity to key transportation hubs like the BTS train station and ferry dock was a huge plus.
