I haven't written a review for a while, but realised this is selfish as I use TripAdvisor regularly to plan vacations Peoples experiences are always relative and judging the quality of a hotel will be dependant upon your previous experience of hotels. We have stayed in some superb hotels but the Mandarin Bangkok is exceptional and rightly deserves its reputation... more

Stayed for 3 nights as part of a Far East tour. The hotel is amazing in every way. Location on the river and real 5* experience. We were allocated a 3rd floor room and I had hoped for a higher floor - but only 3rd floor has balconies all other floors do not - except for the few rooms facing... more

Having spent 2 nights at the Oriental before going to Krabi, I do not think we could have found a better option. The service from the second you arrive is far superior to any 5* I have stayed in anywhere in the world. There is a concierge on every floor to expect you in the elevator, everyone knows who you... more

Handwritten notes, fresh flowers, champagne,... more

My husband and I had a fantastic experience at this hotel. We were there on our honeymoon and were upgraded to a beautiful, huge room with a terrace and view of the river. A gorgeous spread of fresh fruit, chocolates, a bottle of wine, and a note of congratulations were awaiting us in our room when we arrived. Service was... more

Have been staying at the Oriental for 35 years. Ofcourse you can complain about the dress code,yes some rooms are small,but to me it is simply a home away from home.The biggest asset of this hotel is the staff.They anticipate your every need.Will never change. more
