The hotel

Overlooking the busy Chao Phraya River, this hotel is the place to be in Bangkok where you can spend hot days enjoying the riverside breeze but with many of Bangkok's famous landmarks just a stone’s throw away. An adjoining city pier offers complimentary shuttle boat rides to the nearest Skytrain station which provides easy access to the rest of the city. All rooms at the Royal Orchid Sheraton have a river view where you can enjoy watching the hustle and bustle of local life during the day and boats all lit up at night. Enjoy a good range of leisure facilities too, including a freeform swimming pool and Jacuzzi in tropical riverside gardens, a second lap pool, kids' pool, tennis court and an impressive spa. The hotel offers an array of cuisines in their four restaurants, including modern Italian cuisine, barbecue grill, international restaurant and of course a traditional Thai – quite a choice!

Room was good housekeeping service was good. Breakfast was ok but team overwhelmed. Executive lounge was fantastic especially Rox. After that it all falls apart. Large hotel that caters to bus tours. Hotel is always full so management under the belief that it will always be full so not a lot of effort into customer service. Front desk staff not friendly. Had a terrible experience with the Bell team. Asked for a meter taxi to Wat Pho. When I arrived no meter and was asked for 500 baht (200 maximum) brought this to the hotel’s attention and they basically said they did not believe me. At least 3 different accounts of what happened. Please do not stay here if you are new to Thailand. They should not be trusted to take care of you. Because they won’t. There is always another bus tour or conference to fill their rooms. Stay elsewhere. Read less

Of all the hotels chosen,the Royal Orchid Sheraton, Bangkok, is our most favourite when staying in the city and now approaching our fifth stay at the Royal Orchid. Suites look across the Chao Phraya (royal) river. Breakfast is a theatrical spectacular with fabulous choices and tropical fruits to bolster guests for the Thai day. In the evening the bar welcomes the guest to a comfortable chair and an ice cold G & T over travellers tales. The hotel has two swimming pools, a sun terrace overlooking the river and four excellent restaurants. The Royal Orchid is short sky train stops away from the vast fabulous Bangkok shopping centre and s few stops along the klong by ferry to Jim Thompson’s house now a museum. The hotel boat takes guests to various stops including the sky train. The public ferry sails along the river to popular ferry stations Chinatown and the Royal Palace. The Royal Orchid hotel is at the centre of everything Bangkok is. Read less
