Excellent discreet service by all members of hotel staff most of the time during our stay.
Delicious breakfasts.
Very nice room. Poor service at the River Bar on one of the evenings. We were the only people there & had to wait so long that we walked out. We enjoyed staying at The Peninsula Hotel very much as we had good service while we were there. We thought our room was very nice. We certainly enjoyed the delicious breakfast(s). Everything was nice & clean & staff members seemed eager to please & to make sure that everything was at a high standard.

Everything a 5star hotel should be. The Peninsula is a fine hotel by any standards. They know how to take care of their guests, from greeting you at the airport with cold towels and water to returning your laundry in a wicker basket with an orchid on top. Breakfast on the riverside terrace was always looked forward to as a leisurely way to start the day. Concierge service was always available and effective. The rooms are large and, as you would expect, hugely comfortable. Room service is fast. This was not our first time at the Peninsula and it won't be our last.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Pick up a longboat at the hotel pier for canal trips.

I've stayed in other 5 star hotels in Peninsula, but the Peninsula is the best. The rooms are fantastic, the view incredible and I love the tea. The staff is helpful without being obsequious. And, the quality of everything is first rate. It's a little out of the way if you're taking a taxi since it is on the otherside of the river from most of Bangkok. You should use their river ferry to get to the Skytrain whenever possible. I love the Peninsula. It's more expensive than most 5 Star hotels, but it's worth it. I love the tea. I sit on the veranda overlooking the river eating finger sandwiches and pastries. The lemon curd and clotted cream is fantastic. The breakfast buffet is fantastic. The staff is wonderful. The concierge is fantastic.

beautiful location at the river Chao Praya; beautifully appointed large guest rooms; excellent buffet breakfast which can be taken indoors or outdoors. To reach the sky train station one most cross the river by the hotel's own boat, which can take some time; the crossing itself is a lovely experience and should not be missed. This November the Peninsula celebrated its 10 years' anniversary and it still looks brand new. We have been regular guests since its opening and will continue to be so. It's one of the finest and priciest hotels in Bangkok but it's worth spending the extra money, one will not regret it. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the service is so perfect that one does not realise it any more. Attractive pool area.
Restaurant Tip : Baan Khanitha & Gallery is a charming restaurant serving Thai food; it's upmarket and attentive staff.

Very careful service for my wife's sudden illness. While we were on a shuttle boat my wife suddenly fainted and hit her head on a step of the deck. We immediately came back to our room and she took a rest on her bed. When I informed the front desk about our accident, a nurse came in shortly and took care of her. Fortunately, she was not very seriously injured. Later, a Japanese lady, Ms. Yuki Ohyama, of the front desk called me and offered assistance to us, which was very helpful to us.

Hotel facilities, attentive staff, amazing room and the view. Location across from river may not suit all, breakfast was expensive. The peninsula hotel was without doubt the best hotel we has ever stayed in, as we mentioned it was our honeymoon they delivered a bottle of champange to our room. The room was amazing and staff were the most attentive and friendly we have experienced. We would highly recommend this hotel and although the breakfast was expensive it was of a very high standard. The location across the river worked in our favour as the hotel provided regular boat taxi's to piers across the river. All in all - 10 out of 10 for us.
Shopping Tip : Get skytrain to siam center for all the amazing shopping malls.

Service, decor, relative value The hotel was beautiful, everything was impeccable. From the driveway up to the hotel, to the artwork outside the elevators, to the poolside trees, nothing looked out of place. Likewise, the service is amazing.
However, even though there is a boat shuttle running across the river, the hotel is inconvenient to the rest of the city. Except for Wat Arun, there is nothing really worthwhile on the Thonburi side of the river.
On whole, the hotel itself is amazing, but would benefit from having other things that are walkable.
Also, I would not recommend the breakfast buffet, approximately $30 per person, but not worth the money.
Hotel Feature Tip : The boat ride approaching the Peninsula at night is stunning with both sides of the river completely alight.

The staff is polite and efficient but has somehow an air of "superiority", makes you feel guilty if you ask them for anything. They are very concerned that you will not run off the hotel without paying!
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Must see the Floating Market.

Very happy with this hotel. A combination of timeless class that makes you feel like the hotel could be a lot older than it is, but cutting edge technology, where everything is thought of.
Shopping Tip : Catch the ferry to the sky rail terminal (Thaksin). Catch the sky rail to National Stadium, and then shop at MBK.

Luxury! Great pool! Great dinning! Wonderful rooms (and bathrooms) with fantastic views of the river. Definitely a nice calm refuge in a very busy city. Pricey but worth it.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Get a guide from Tong Tours...they are excellent. Also, have some spa services at Healthland...much cheaper than Penisula Spa and very good quality.

Agoda was extremely helpful in finding the best rate for the hotel and everything was in order when we arrived. I also use them for the Banyan Tree in Phuket, and again everything was just as we had arranged on the internet. Thank you for exceptional service.
Restaurant Tip : We asked for local popular un-touristed restaurants, and they sent us to a wonderful experience--after giving us several options.
