The hype
Travelers adore the rooftop views and the massive rooms, but almost everyone mentions the decor feels stuck in 2005.
Banyan Tree Bangkok
$130-250 / naktį
Užsisakykite, jei You want the bragging rights of the world's most famous rooftop bar and old-school Thai hospitality without the $500 price tag of the river hotels.
Kodėl Žmonės Tai Mėgsta
- Vertigo & Moon Bar on the 61st floor is a bucket-list experience
- Suites are massive (starting at 48sqm) with separate living areas
- Service is legendary—staff remember your name and leave cute turtle plushies
Greita apžvalga: A vertical resort that offers 5-star service in a building that desperately needs a facelift to fix the worn carpets and dated furniture.
Peržiūrėjo @BeesBucketlist: I honestly couldn't believe how huge this suite was. Having a separate room for the kids (with cute teddy bears!) meant we actually got to relax in the living room after bedtime. The kitchenette was a total bonus for quick breakfasts. Perfect family base in Bangkok.

Reality check
You are paying for the view and the brand name; the hard product (furniture, bathrooms, carpets) is showing significant wear and tear.
- You need a spacious room for work or a family
- You plan to spend your evenings at the rooftop bar
- You appreciate classic, attentive Thai service over trendy design
Švara ir priežiūra
8
- Housekeeping: Diligent and friendly. They do twice-daily service with turndown, which is a nice touch.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean surfaces, but the recurring 'sewage smell' complaint indicates deep plumbing issues in some stacks.
- Maintenance: The biggest weak point. Scratched furniture, worn carpets, and peeling laminate are common complaints.
- Linens & towels: High quality and plush, replaced daily. No complaints here.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of their signature lemongrass essential oil (divine), but hallways can smell musty.

- The hotel runs a free tuk-tuk shuttle to Sala Daeng BTS and Lumphini MRT, but it's on a schedule—grab a timetable at check-in.

Viskas, ką turėtum žinoti prieš rezerzavimą
Is the rooftop bar worth the hype?
Yes for the view, no for the prices. Go for one sunset drink ($25+) to get the photo, then eat dinner elsewhere.
Does the hotel have a resort fee?
No specific resort fee, but the 17.7% tax/service charge on all purchases adds up fast.
Is the pool good for kids?
It's okay, but the water is very cold and the vibe is more 'quiet relaxation' than 'splash zone'. Plus, the shade limits swim time.
How far is the walk to the train?
It's a sweaty 10-15 minute walk to either MRT Lumphini or BTS Sala Daeng. Use the free tuk-tuk or a motorbike taxi.
Is breakfast included?
Depends on your rate. If paying separately, it's ~730 THB ($20 USD). It's a huge spread, but local street food is $2.
Can I get a late check-out?
They are generous with this if you book a Club room or have status, often granting until 2pm or 4pm.
Vidaus patarimai
- ✨
Walk 5 minutes to Soi Suan Phlu (Soi 8) for incredible street food—it's where the locals eat and is 1/10th the price of the hotel.
- ✨
The 'Moon Bar' has a second level called 'Vertigo Too' indoors if it rains—it has live music and is much more comfortable.
- ✨
Book the 'Saffron Cruise' through the hotel for a dinner cruise that is actually classy and not a neon-lit party boat.
5 dalykai, kuriuos reikia žinoti prieš kelionę
💡The 'sewage smell' in bathrooms is a recurring complaint in guest reviews—run the water immediately upon entry to check.
💡The walk to the BTS station involves crossing a massive, dangerous intersection (Sathorn/Rama IV) if you don't take the skywalk.
💡The elevators can be painfully slow during peak rooftop hours (5pm-7pm).
💡You get a cute little Banyan Tree turtle doll on your bed at turndown—collect them!
💡The pool area is a wind tunnel—it can get surprisingly breezy and chilly up there.
