We actually very much like this hotel and have stayed there numerous times. It’s a great location with a very customer focused staff. Over the years, we’ve seen the rooms getting updated and this time we were in a suite that had newer furnishings and amenities than some of ot the previous rooms and suites in which we have stayed. HOWEVER, this time the bathroom had NO hot water. After letting the water run in the tub, in the shower and in the basin, the water temperature finally rose to, but never exceeded, about 35C (95F). That’s too cold to enjoy a bath or shower. We complained to the front desk and they said that an engineer would be sent to fix the problem - but the problem persisted, and we could only take quick shower (forget about a hot bath!) in lukewarm water. We changed hotels after 2 nights. I challenge the hotel manager to try to take a shower in that suite! If we ever stay there again, we’ll check the water temperature before we unpack. Read less

We had a wonderful stay at the Royal Orchid Sheraton. The room was lovely with an amazing view of the Chao Phraya River and we had a delicious breakfast each day and drinks each night at the Siam Yacht Club which is part of the hotel and is next to the river. A special mention to Nimit who looked after us very well and gave us great recommendations including a boat trip around the river. Would definitely stay here again when we return to Bangkok.

Great river view room, throughly cleaned every day. Variety of dishes offered at breakfast. Based in the city centre and near the ferry harbour easily accessible from all tourist places and shopping malls. Loved Thara Thong restaurant’s traditional Thai music, dance and cultural atmosphere.

Though a big and busy hotel catering to business and pleasure, our experience was excellent. Location was wonderful and with an upper floor room overlooking the river, the scenes were breathtaking.
