honeymoon bliss
Review of Oriental, Bangkok by
startswhenpushed
Advantages: attention to detail, location, sheer luxury, personal service and food to die for
Disadvantages: i can't afford to live there
I stayed at The Oriental on the first 2 days of my honeymoon and was blown away. The River rooms were luxurious, yet understated, with stunning views over the river and an open plan feel due to the windows (shuttered) through to the exceptional onsuite. The Butler was knowledgeable and never took more than a minute to call at the door upon being buzzed. Overall the attention to detail was breathtaking. After a gruelling journey (I'll never fly Thai ... ...and a carved fruit platter, followed by an upgrade to a spa suite for a blissful massage. I am a bit of a spa junkie and what was described as a one hour massage actually consisted of an aromatherapy jacuzzi, rainfall shower, steam bath....and great massage.
However the catering was the highlight of our stay. The lunchtime buffet provided better fare than I have eaten in many top restaurants in London. The set menu at the evening dance performance ...

Review of Hilton (Bangkok) by
heyjudyjude
Advantages: Executive Lounge
Disadvantages: Beauty treatment prices
...caviar etc. Drinks are typical Hilton prices but there are bars around the corner for cheaper drinks and a cheaper night out in general. The staff here speak a multitude of languages and a really helpful but not annoyingly so. They appear just when you need them to and quickly set to providing your requirements. It's worth paying a bit more to upgrade to the executive lounge at the top floor. This lounge provides a breakfast, buffet lunch and buffet ...

Swiss Park Hotel Review - Bangkok
Review of Swiss Park Hotel, Bangkok by
shar25
Advantages: Location
Disadvantages: Room/ Food
My partner and I stayed in this hotel last year (07) for a couple of nights. We opted for the executive room and didn't relly notice anything executive about it. The bathroom was basic and had a leaky shower and mould on the wall. The floor in the room didn't reach the end wall/ window so you could see through the floor. The room had a really strong smell of smoke. The a/c was very noisy, making it difficult to get to sleep.
Breakfast was not a ... ...to those who could stomach Thai food and the fruit had flies on it.
The swimming pool was too cold to swim in.
The only plus for this hotel was its location, a few minutes walk from Nana skytrain station. Close to other hotels such as the Ambassador and The Landmark. ...

Amari Airport Hotel Review - Bangkok
Review of Amari Airport Hotel, Bangkok by
shar25
Advantages: Close to Domestic Airport
Disadvantages: Too far from downtown Bangkok
I stayed here in May 08 for 1 night. I was flying out of Donmuang Domestic airport early the next day and the location was ideal as it is a short drive away. On there website they show a bridge connecting the hotel to the airport, we were told this was now closed. Beware of the taxi touts who try and charge 300 Baht to take you there! A metered cab cost us 60 baht.
The room was as shown in the advertised pictures, complete with all the amenities, ... ...My husband and I had some time to spare so were told by the hotel there was a very good shopping mall about 15-20 mins away. It was huge and I got the chance to buy items that are not aimed at tourists and therefore cheaper than places like MBK, Siam square.
I would only recommend this hotel to people who will be using the hotel as a short stop over before they fly out of the domestic airport. Simply beacause there is not very much to do nearby. ...

Ambassador Hotel Review - Bangkok
Review of Ambassador Hotel, Bangkok by
shar25
Advantages: Location
Disadvantages: Outdated rooms
...back in with a big grin on her face!
This hotel does provide value for money and I think they are currently updating some of the rooms. Although I think with all the new hotels popping up the Ambassador will need to spend a lot to match them. ...
