5-Star Hotels in Bangkok

Located right above the Erawan Shrine, this hotel boasts excellent connectivity, making it super convenient for getting around, dining, and shopping. The service was exceptional, especially since we booked an executive room. A staff member from the ground floor front desk personally escorted us to the executive lounge for check-in. The only downside is that Bangkok's motorbikes and tuk-tuks are incredibly loud; we could hear them even from the 18th floor.

Review: We stayed at Centara Grand at CentralWorld to celebrate my birthday. The front desk team was kind enough to arrange a complimentary chocolate cake for the occasion, which was a very sweet and appreciated touch. However, the initial room assigned to us was far below expectations—the walls had visible stains, and there was a heavy, moldy smell throughout. After we contacted the front desk to raise these issues, they did promptly arrange a room change for us. While we appreciate the staff's quick action to switch our room and the nice birthday gesture, a hotel of this standard should ensure proper room inspections and quality control before assigning rooms to checking-in guests in the first place.

This was my first time staying at the Somerset Hotel in Phra Ram 9. It's just a 5-minute walk to Central Rama 9, which wasn't far even with a stroller and a baby. The Phra Ram 9 MRT station is only about 2 minutes further. The hotel offers a shuttle service to these two stops every hour on the hour, but honestly, the distance is so short that walking is more convenient for scheduling. Since we were traveling with a baby under two, we pushed the bed against the wall. The floor under the bed was surprisingly clean and dust-free. The hotel's pool has a 50cm shallow end, which is perfect for little ones. It's great for swimming at any time except between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM when it gets quite sunny. The hotel breakfast was decent, nothing spectacular, but it did have suitable options for our baby, which was very convenient.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The location was also very convenient, making it easy to get around and explore the area. What impressed me most was the service—the staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help. Check-in and check-out were both smooth and efficient. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience, and I really appreciated the attention to detail throughout my stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay, and I would be happy to come back again.

The hotel's location is pretty good. There's a convenience store downstairs, and about 500 meters south, you'll find a large shopping mall and a night market. To the north, there are all Chinese restaurants. The room itself is quite spacious. Compared to hotels in China, the decor is a bit dated, but it's very clean and the bed is large and comfortable. The front desk staff can provide basic Chinese service, so checking in was easy. The breakfast spread is also quite rich. It might be a little far from the main attractions, though.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful property. The location is perfect, right on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, offering lovely views and a peaceful atmosphere. The hotel also provides a complimentary boat shuttle service to the nearest pier, making it incredibly convenient to explore IconSiam, WatArun, WatPho, Asiatique etc. Hotel has an outstanding hospitality. Every member of the staff—from the bell attendants and reception team to the housekeeping staff, are warm, courteous, professional, and always eager to help. We even got a complimentary upgrade from a Deluxe Premium Room to a Suite, which made our stay even more memorable. The suite was spacious, elegant, and very comfortable. Breakfast got a huge variety to offer. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious stay with exceptional service in Bangkok. We would definitely love to return on our next visit. View from our room is attached.

Good hotel in a convenient Bangkok location and in excellent condition. Everything was clean and worked properly. The staff were polite, friendly, and attentive. Breakfast and housekeeping could be arranged for an extra charge, although we didn’t use these services since there are plenty of places nearby for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The only downside was that you can hear the neighboring room’s doorbell, even when the “Do Not Disturb” mode is on. Also, fresh water and toilet paper were not replenished automatically. The rooftop pool was a nice bonus and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Overall, we were satisfied and can confidently recommend this hotel.

This hotel was a pleasant surprise! Check-in was smooth, and the front desk staff were friendly and polite. The room was clean and tidy, the bed was especially comfortable, and the quiet environment allowed for complete relaxation. The facilities were well-maintained and comprehensive, and the location was also very convenient. Overall, it offers excellent value for money. I will definitely stay here again and recommend it to my friends!

The hotel is beautiful, bright, and contemporary. We couldn't check into our room immediately upon arrival, but we were able to leave our luggage at the reception desk while we went into the city. We had a spacious family room with a king-size bed and a bunk bed. The mattresses on the bunk bed were incredibly hard, offering no give at all when you sat on them. This took a lot of getting used to and wasn't very comfortable. The double bed was also firm, but slightly less rigid than the bunk bed mattresses. The restaurant on the 15th floor is good, with a decent variety of options on the menu. The view from the rooftop terrace and inside the restaurant is absolutely stunning! The swimming pool is on the same floor as the restaurant, also offering fantastic views. The only downside is that there are only a few sun loungers available. The coffee shop on the ground floor is nice and convenient. The coffee is delicious, and there's a wide selection of drinks. They also have croissants and other treats to go with your coffee. Prices are a bit higher than average. The hotel offers a shuttle service that runs hourly along a specific route, dropping you off at two BTS stations and the ARL (Airport Link), among other places. You can easily walk to the ARL station, it's about a 10-minute stroll, and you'll even pass a good breakfast spot along the way. The hotel is a bit further from well-known malls like MBK and Icon Siam, as well as Chinatown and Khao San Road. However, if you take the ARL and then transfer to the BTS, you can be in Chinatown in about 35 minutes. A 7-Eleven is located opposite the hotel, and there are many street food stalls on the street outside. Many locals pick up food there or even sit down to eat. The gym is good, open until 9 PM, and has air conditioning. The rooms were cleaned daily, and the beds were made. They always neatly arranged our nightwear on the bed in decorative shapes. Aside from the hard mattresses, we really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. We would definitely recommend it.

Addressed to Jon Warmington, the General Manager I recently stayed at Grand Mercure Bangkok Atrium room 842 from 27 May to 1 June and would like to share some feedback regarding my experience. First and foremost, I would like to emphasize that I genuinely enjoyed my stay. The hotel, facilities, and the majority of the team members provided excellent service, and overall I had a pleasant experience. In fact, I am not the type of guest who frequently raises complaints. During my travels, I spend very little time in my hotel room. Most of my day is spent outside the property, and my interaction with the hotel is generally limited to breakfast and sleeping. As such, it takes a significant issue for me to feel compelled to formally raise a concern. The first issue relates to breakfast. During my stay, I invited a Muslim friend to join me for breakfast. He entered the restaurant with me but did not consume any food because he was unable to find suitable options that met his dietary requirements. While I acknowledge that I did not raise this directly with the restaurant team at the time, I was surprised when Reception later informed me that they had verified that my friend had taken breakfast. From my perspective, entering the restaurant should not automatically be considered as consuming breakfast when no food was actually taken. Nevertheless, I have decided to let this matter rest and move on. The second issue is far more serious and is the primary reason for this email. On my final night at the hotel, I was expecting a visitor. However, Reception did not contact me to verify whether I was expecting anyone before allowing my visitor access to the guest floors. Instead, my visitor was simply directed to my room and arrived at my door unannounced. Having worked within the Accor group for approximately 15 years as a Duty Manager in Singapore, I am very familiar with hotel operational procedures, guest privacy standards, and security protocols. It has always been my understanding that when a visitor arrives for an in-house guest, Reception should first contact the guest to obtain authorization before granting access to the room floors. While my visitor was indeed expected on this occasion, Reception had no way of knowing that without contacting me first. Had the visitor not been known to me, this could have resulted in a serious security and privacy issue. In my professional opinion, allowing a visitor direct access to a guest room without prior verification is unacceptable and falls short of the standards expected from an Accor property. What further disappointed me was the handling of the matter after I raised my concern. I wish to be clear that I am not seeking compensation of any kind. My concern is not financial. Rather, I expect an appropriate resolution and acknowledgement of the seriousness of the issue. Simply being told ”sorry” was not sufficient given the nature of the security lapse. The alternatives presented to me by the Night Manager were also, in my view, unreasonable. One option was for me to move to another room on my final night. Considering that I was due to check out the following morning, I found this solution impractical and disruptive. Being asked to pack my belongings and relocate because of an issue that was not caused by me did not seem to be an appropriate resolution. I was also informed that a Reception Manager would speak with me. However, I was unable to wait indefinitely for the manager's arrival. As a guest who was raising a legitimate concern, I do not believe I should have been expected to delay my evening plans or remain available for an uncertain period of time. Furthermore, I was scheduled to leave the hotel at 7:00 AM the next morning in order to arrive at the airport early for my flight. For these reasons, I felt that the issue was not properly addressed during my stay, which is why I am bringing it directly to your attention. I am raising this matter not only as a guest but also
