The hype
Travelers adore the river views and the breakfast spread, but consistently mention the rooms need a refresh to match modern 5-star standards.
Royal Orchid Sheraton - Towers Bangkok
$150-250/ yö
Varaa tämä, jos You want guaranteed river views from every single room and don't mind a 'classic' (read: slightly dated) 1980s luxury vibe.
Miksi ihmiset rakastuvat sitä
- Every room faces the Chao Phraya River—no partial views here
- Two distinct pools: a deep garden pool with peacocks and a saltwater lap pool
- Direct, free shuttle boat to both the BTS Skytrain and IconSiam
Pikakatsaus: It’s the grand dame of the river that feels like stepping into a wealthy aunt's estate—immaculate views, but the furniture has seen a few decades.
Arvioinut @PaulWaldie1399821: I booked this corner suite for a bit of peace in Bangkok and wow. The decor is a throwback, but the floor-to-ceiling river views are timeless. I spent hours just watching the boats from that sofa. It feels huge and quiet—exactly what I needed to recharge.

- You prioritize a river view above all else
- You love a resort-style pool area in the middle of the city
- You enjoy being near the 'Creative District' (Talad Noi) and art galleries
Siisteys ja kunnossapito
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily and thorough, but they are fighting a battle against the building's age.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally sparkling, but watch for discolored grout or worn sealant in corners.
- Maintenance: Functional, but expect scuffs on furniture and older AC controls.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, white, and high quality—standard Sheraton consistency.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of fresh flowers; hallways can have a faint 'vintage' (musty) carpet smell.
