Expert reviews

CNN review:

“More than 100 years old, the Mandrin Oriental’s Author’s Wing retains its magical aura with its picturesque parlors, each named for a scribe they once hosted, including the likes of Somerset Maugham, Joseph Conrad and Ernest Hemingway.”

Fodors review:

“Arguably the finest hotel in the city, the Colonial-styled property features multiple fine dining outlets, a world-famous spa, its own cooking school, and a bevy of other amenities that any high-end traveler will appreciate.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Bangkok.

Frommers review:

“The city’s oldest and best-known hotel has been frequented by Thai royalty and glitterati, as well as a long roster of sports and film stars. Established in 1876, the hotel’s original building has evolved into a modern, functional venue known for its exceptional service.”

Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Bangkok.

Forbes review:

“Perched on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok is a long-standing landmark of traditional Thai-style luxury and a favorite among discerning travelers, celebrities, foreign dignitaries and even members of the Thai royal family.”

Travel+Leisure review:

“This stunning grande dame, whose on-property offerings are actually spread on both sides of the Chao Phraya River, is one of travel’s most iconic experiences. Dedicated butlers ensure you have the best possible stay, whether you need help finding the city’s top tailor or simply securing an appointment in the stunning 18-room spa.”

Featured in Travel+Leisure’s Top 100 Hotels in the World.

Telegraph review:

“Built in 1876 and still the classiest hotel in Bangkok, the Oriental, the preserve of wealthy travellers and cultural icons, is perfectly cosmopolitan while exuding traditional Thai charm – but the excellent service is what puts this institution into a hospitality league of its own.”

Everything is perfect...except maybe the not really spacious toilet/shower compartment in the bathroom we had. Noticeably, there is a lot of staff really everywhere. If one requires help, there is always staff close by. There are absolutely no waiting times in any situation, not at check-in, check-out, at breakfast, valet service..nowhere. The furniture and interior looks as if they had just been installed. The location is right next to the Chao Phraya River with an unobstructed view to the opposite river bank. There is also a free shuttle boat service to the opposite river bank. The hotel might not provide the biggest rooms or the fanciest interior, but the level of service is unmatched. If you have the money, go for it once.

Nothing, except...the location of the hotel is close to the river which brings with it, that it is a bit of a drive and might take some time especially during rush hour to reach the city center or one of the bigger shopping malls, especially since no public transportation is close by.

Fantastic stay!

I loved our nicely decorated room overlooking the river. The lobby was gorgeous, and the staff was wonderful.

Due to the location, which is hidden from the Main Street, it took more than 10 minutes each time to get a taxi there.

Fabulous

Rooms are spacious and clean. The beddings were very neat and clean.

Some of the staffs serving at breakfast buffet were impolite to my grandmother. This happened twice during our stay. They chatted and pulled long face while she ordered.

incredible services and surprise beyond their scope and your expectations. I order a take away food but input the wrong address. While I feel frustrated and the room phone rang. A warm voice from the hotel told me one of their staff drove the motor cycle and pick up the takeaway from the wrong address. It's in the mid night! Thanks for that staff and the hotel! Will strongly recommend friends to stay!
