Find hotels in Thammasat University (Tha Phra Chan Campus)

If you want to stay in one of the best hotels on offer in Bangkok you need to stay here. From the moment you are greeted, you know this is going to be something special, the staff are so attentive you can't fail to relax. As soon as you exit you taxi you are made to feel special, the staff are sincere when they say welcome. You enter the hotel and the opulence and splendour of the hotel hits you, breathtaking. Once booked in you are escorted to your room. Everything is explained to you by one of the beautiful receptionist, our butler was then introduced to us and then your left to look around. You have a balcony which looks over the river (I wouldn't want to swim in it) and Bangkok city. The room is beautiful, the non-alcoholic drinks in your mini-bar are free and endless. Obviously if you want an alcoholic drink they are readily available. The bathroom has a full bath, separate shower, bidet, toilet and sink. Soaps, creams, shower gel, shampoo, shower cap, toothbrush, toothpaste etc. etc. all available at no cost. The bed is super king in size and comfortable with it - 5 Star. The drapes are power driven at a touch of a button, the mood of the room can be arranged by the various lights available. His & Her bathrobes, plus matching slippers hang in the cupboard at your convenience. One criticism - there isn't sufficient drawer space for two people to use, The complimentary breakfast is ample as is the afternoon tea and canopies, followed by evening cocktails. Two pools are on offer for the residents of the Shangri-La Krungthep Wing, complimentary non alcoholic drinks are available throughout the day by the Krungthep Wing pool. You can choose to lounge around the Main pool if you wish, but the only free beverage here is water. However this is where the sun is shinning for most of the day (Obviously not if it's raining) Whereas the Krungthep Wing pool is shaded and has pockets of sunshine throughout the day. What can I say - This is place the place to stay!

I've stayed at 5-star hotels on several continents, often costing two or three times as much, but none has come close to the attention to detail, the personal kindness, or concern for guests' well-being on display. When my wife needed a nurse to attend to an infection, the manager of the hotel himself accompanied her to our room, made arrangements for us to go to a nearby hospital, and called on our return to be sure that she had received effective treatment. In the magnificent rooftop bar overlooking the city and the barge- and cruise-boat traffic on a wide bend of the Chao Praya River, it quickly became apparent that all the staff knew your name, and anticipated your every wish. The rooftop restaurant was pricey, but the food was as close to heavenly as it gets. And if you wanted something more mundane, the cluster of restaurants around the hotel pier could muster up a meal to suit every taste. It's the best of both worlds in this self-enclosed resort at the heat of a great city.

From the moment we arrived at the hotel until we departed I was impressed by the standard of service we experienced from the hotel staff. I've stayed at quite a few hotels in Thailand and the service can be hit and miss, even at hotels at the higher end of the scale. The staff were always helpful and friendly even when the hotel was very busy. Although the location may look a bit off the beaten track and south of the main tourist attractions, the position on the river and the free hotel ferry service to the nearby Tha Sathon (Central)Pier afford excellent onward transport via the BTS (Skytrain)and Chao Phraya Express (Riverboat) services. The cost of the Skytrain and Riverboat are very cheap (30 Baht from Saphan Taksin station to Siam Square station and 15 Baht from Central Pier to Tha Chang pier for the Grand Palace and nearby attractions. There's also a free ferry from Central Pier that takes you to and from Asiatique on the Riverfront. I would recommend using the Riverboat and Skytrain services over taxis due the outrageous traffic in Bangkok. I would highly recommend staying in a room with a view of the river. The Grand Room we had included a small kitchen area which came in very useful. We also opted for the inclusive breakfast buffet which was well worth it. There was a great selection on offer with the option of dining inside in the comfort of air-con or out on the terrace, overlooking the river. We also enjoyed 2 meals at the hotel restaurant which were reasonably priced for the type and location of hotel. I would definitely stay at the Chatrium if I visited Bangkok again and would recommend it to others too

After spending a few days in another down town Bangkok hotel , it was like going to another Thai location but with access to the city. The Marriott is located across the river and about 20min. from the city but don't let put you off. It's brilliantly located for a restful stay in the busy city and the added bonus of the river boat traffic and water views and the resort setting make it an interesting stay. They include free boat transfers to the main ferry wharf and sky train terminal at Safin Taksin where you can get into the main centres of Bangkok in air-conditioned comfort in a matter of minutes. You can also connect to ferry cruises form the main wharf and taking the commuter ferry to Tha Phra Athit and walk to Khao San Road is a must for an evening of markets, restaurants and street entertainment, a mecca for the back packing traveller and the remains of the hippy culture. The only drawback I found was they only give you 1 hour free wifi access in a 1 hour block and then charge about $5.US per hour block which is steep in anyone's language. You will enjoy this hotel and pay the extra for a deluxe river front with balcony.

This hotel was AMAZING, the best hotel experience I've ever had. We booked this for a 30th birthday celebration and specifically wanted this hotel mainly for the rooftop bar/restaurant and the incredible balconies. I had seen this on the Hangover movie and I'd spent months stalking them on instagram and by the time we came to depart I was worried that I had built it up too much and it was going to be a let down. I was SO wrong. From the second we stepped out of the car on arrival we were treated like VIP's, the staff were so incredibly lovely, they went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time, they sent me a total of THREE birthday cakes in our 5 day stay, and one of them was brought to us at our dinner at sirocco by about 5 staff all enthusiastically singing happy birthday. The location is perfect, the views are some of the best I've ever seen (upgrade to tower club river view TRUST ME) and the staff are ALL incredible. We would never stay any where else in Bangkok!

This hotel is something difficult to describe. The hotel is amazing, really really beautiful, 5 stars and plus, but mmmm, for Bangkok really can be better. We book a club room and was ok, I mean, is 5 stars and all amazing you want, but the club is not the best in town, the room is not the best in town, the location is not too good, and is not cheap specially the restaurants and bar in roof, but you can say “yes, is amazing anyway”. Like I say, is difficult to explain, is good but not enough for the price, that’s the point. Anyway if find a good price & promotion, will come back yes or yes, but if too expensive, I will choose another. Also, the hotel should have different elevators for hotel guests and visitors to the sky bar. In night is almost impossible to take the elevator because have hundreds of people doing line to go to the roof.

I returned to Centre Point Silom for many reasons. The top 3 reasons are 1) Location near BTS Saphan Taksin station and Chao Praya river 2) Staff friendliness 3) Nice big rooms The best thing about Centre Point Silom is its proximity to Bangkok's public transportation system, namely BTS and the riverboats. The new airport train is now open. It is a fast and comfortable ride from the international airport to this hotel. The Saphan Taksin BTS station is only 1 block away from the hotel. The total time that it takes from the airport to the hotel is 60 minutes. The cost is 60 baht. Not a bad deal considering a taxi ride will cost you 200 baht. If you want to see the Thai temples upriver, you can take the riverboat from the Tha Sathon pier. That is about 2-3 blocks from the hotel near the Shangri-la hotel. A ride upriver is only 14 baht if you take the local boat. Don't fall for the tourist boat which costs 150 baht. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. Most can speak English. The best part is that they remembered me from my last stay which was a year ago. Impressive. The rooms are big and comfortable. It feels like a 4 star hotel. The only quibble I had was that my washer/dryer did not work. In addition, the instructions on how to use it was in Italian! I informed the front desk staff about the machine. They offered to fix it, change it, or change rooms. I chose to change rooms. My new room had a better machine that had English instructions. It worked. Another benefit to this hotel is the breakfast buffet. You have your choice of Western food and Thai food. The coffee was excellent. There is also a swimming pool, complete gym with shower, and onsite beauty salon. Wi-fi is provided for free. What else can a traveler ask for? I plan to return to this hotel on my next trip.

Overall, the stay was as expected of Hilton standards. The warmest staff there are probably the boat shuttle personnel, and doormen. The others are rather cold and a little too impersonal. The worst is probably the 'breakfast door-lady' who never fail to embarrass my wife and I for two days. Perhaps it was my mistake to have made an error during my online booking to indicate only 1 person. Despite being assured during check-in that I can just walk in and the extra will be charged accordingly, I am still subjected to a 5 minutes questioning and further checking in the systems. But I suspect she does not understand my request "Please charge to my room". So, be extra careful when doing the booking, otherwise you would be harassed. Anyway, the breakfast is plain, at best, for a 5-star hotel. Although far, the hotel's boat shuttle makes it up. It is convenient, safe, regular, FOC and connects you almost directly to the BTS (Saphan Taksin) and the river express central jetty. Another public ferry (6 Bahts return) connects you nearer to Chinatown. For the adventurous, do visit the market directly beside the hotel for good authentic Thai food.

The Royal Orchid is mine (and my partners) hotel of choice in Bangkok primarily due to its location but also as it is a nice hotel to stay. Every room has a view of the river and the view only gets better the higher up you go. The staff are always very friendly and courteous whereby nothing is too much trouble. You can dine right on the edge of the river or inside at one of the many restaurants depending on your choice. The buffet food is nice but somewhat expensive but show me a 5 star hotel where it isn't. One of the true beauties of this hotel is the location. Yes you are right on the Chao Praya River as are many hotels. However, you have a river boat pier right next door so catching one of the many ferries up and down the river couldn't be easier. You also have the free shuttle boat down to the closest train station. And if you feel so inclined. the dinner boat cruises depart next door on the other side. Additionally, China Town is either a one stop ferry ride or a pleasant walk away. I have stayed here a number of times and will continue to do so when transiting through Bangkok.

I loved every bit of it, i was a little worried since i booked it on a budget, but truly the hotel easily matches any 4 star hotel. It was a WOW experience. The hotel is located on the riverside, which has true stunning views of the chao praya river, both from the room and the garden outside where you can just laze on a chair overlooking the river or take the relaxing swim. the food was also great, we had buffet breakfast which had a pretty good spread of items.The room is minimalistic which was perfect for us since were travelling most of the time. transport: its a 5-7 min walk to the ferry, and from there you can take the chao praya daily pass which takes you to many of the attractions like wat arun, grand palace etc. its also close to the skytrain .good options to avoid traffic at peak times.There are plenty of fast food joints outside the hotel incase you want to sample something else. Plenty of good decent salons for a quick facial, mani/pedi, foot massage. Another thing to mention is that even if its a budget hotel, you will not have to put up with any kind nuisance like noise, unclean rooms etc There was only one negative that i would write- it would be great if the hotel had a boat to cross over to the other side of the river, as thats the starting/end point for most important ferries, it would save the walk to the ferry, which sometimes gets muddy if it rains.

I highly recommend Naga Residence. The place is very clean and it has great security. You have to access an automated sliding glass door first using your room key card before you enter the hotel's elevator. So you feel very safe. The lobby also has free cookies, juice, water and computer for the customers to use. Their wifi connection is also very strong. The room is spacious and the hotel location is perfect because there are a lot of food places to choose from around the area. It is near 7/11, a mall, walking distance to the pier if you want to ride a boat to cross the other side of the river where the temples are located. I would like to personally commend the supervisor, Mr. Marlon for helping us with our accommodation and itineraries. He is also Filipino like me so he really helped me a lot in contacting my merchants with our itineraries and bookings since he knows how to speak in Thai, he helped me with the translation. :) He really went above and beyond until our last day in Thailand because he also helped us in getting a ride to the airport. He really has great customer service. The guard named Umporn is very friendly and helpful as well. Also, I left my pair of earrings in our room and the housekeeping staff turned it over to their front desk. I really appreciate their honesty. For those who are planning to go to Bangkok, I recommend Naga Residence. It's the perfect place to stay in Thailand! :)

When my boyfriend and I were planning to book a Hotel in Bangkok, I wanted to have a tub in our room with reasonable prize, since it was our first night we wanted it to be amazing. I found this hotel and was won over its photos of the rooms and was transpired in person, which we were very contented. Upon arrival the FO was very welcoming and helpful, it didnt took us long to wait for the check in procedure and was assisted to our room after 5mins. We booked their Executive Deluxe and it was one of the best rooms. The tub was built for two, best for honeymooners, the bed is big and all the amenities are personalize which makes you feel like you're in a luxurious hotel. Location wise, its very quiet with a lot of street food, which their street is known for, aside from being the oldest roads in Bangkok (a good history), It's a good 5-8mins walk to Asiatique, where you can enjoy night shopping and mid-high level restaurants, before reaching Asiatique, you can pay a visit in a nearby temple for a little sightseeing. You can also save money and time by getting on the boat since its nearby Chao Praya river. Kudos to everyone and I hope to see you all again!

The hotel is located in the historical area of Bangkok (Banglamphu) where you can find lots of delicious foods and travel attractions around (very close to Khaosan, Phra Athit Pier and the Grand Palace). I was there with my partners with the double room (River View). We could see the Rama VIII bridge from the room. Facility in the room are all very good. The only thing that almost disappoint us was the lady at the hotel gave us the wrong room at the very first time. We need to show them the booking confirmation that we paid for the river view room. She changed the room for us. At the lower floor of the hotel, there is bar and restaurant where you can eat, drink and see the view of Chaopraya River together. Beverages are at reasonable price. I would recommend if you would like to take a break in Bangkok for this hotel

The Navalai has become my go-to place in Bangkok when I come here to use the National Archives, which are located up Samsen Road. What I like best is the familiarity of the rooms: the design and quality of the furnishings is right up there with a good western hotel, but with a distinctively Thai flair. I love Phra Arthit Road's small cafes and old Thai mansions (several princes had houses along this road), and at nighttime it's quite the hotspot for local (Thai) hipsters to come and hang out. If you're not into that, the Navalai is nice and quiet -- at least, the "serene corner" and "river view" rooms are. :-) The restaurant downstairs has a lovely river view, and the breakfast buffet has really nice variety on offer. Typically the spread includes ham & bacon, scrambled eggs, various breads for toast, croissant and baguette, cold cereals, fresh fruit, and yogurt (not to mention an Asian breakfast option as well). Though there is tea and juice on offer, their fresh coffee can't be beat. When you are too tired from sightseeing to leave your room, you can room service, although it's a little pricey. (For cheaper drinks and snacks, try the 7-Eleven downstairs, or any one of the vendors down the street.) In addition to the 7-Eleven, there's an ATM in the front of the building, and a money-changing booth just up the street. Lots of buses and taxis coming along this street at all hours. Oh, and don't forget the riverside park next to the Old Fort at the end of the street. It's easy to get around town from here, too -- whether by river boat (15 baht will get you all the way to the Saphan Thaksin bridge SkyTrain station) or a taxi (about 60 baht to Siam Square, where you can also pick up the SkyTrain). The Grand Palace, National Museum and Thammasat University are very close by as well. Enjoy!

We have stayed here before and returned to New Siam Riverside to kick off our Tha Land trip to the Andaman Sea this year. We really like this hotel because of its lovely location right on the river with easy access to the Chao Praya river express boat and not too far to Khao San and Rambuttri Road. The only downside is this time we had to wait until after 3:30 pm to be able to check into our room which we booked in advance. We arrived at the hotel around 1 pm and we quite exhausted from 28 hrs of traveling so it was a little cumbersome as they first told us 2:30pm which then turned into past 3:30 pm (we had requested an earlier check in which the hotel obviously wasn’t able to accommodate). But this was the first time this happened after having stayed here two or three times before in past years. So not a huge deal... just an inconvenience, really.

I have stayed at the Bossotel on four different occasions each for 4-6 nights. The room are big enough for Thailand standards and the staff very friendly and willing to help at all times. I always when checking out ask them to post an envelope which they accepted gladly (I just left them a fee that will cover the cost of the postage) Most of the accommodations in this price class only have a shower but the Bossotel have a bath and shower, water is always hot and a nice full strong stream of water. The room were always clean with newly linen. The hotel has its own spa but on the ground floor next to the hotel (with an entrance to the hotel’s lobby are a massage spa, with some of the skilled masseurs I came across in my 17-20 various visits to Thailand. The Bossotel is in the area where you will find the most 925 silver jewellery shops and precious and semi-precious gemstones. It is a 7 minutes’ walk from a sky train station and a 5 minute walk (in the same direction of the sky train station) to an apartment store where you will find everything you will need. In this complex you will find most of the international known food outlets and also local dining. There is also a very nice and very cheap local diner 1 minute from the hotel. The breakfast of this price class hotel has more to offer than some higher star hotels in Bangkok. I received free internet every time and I would gladly recommend anybody to stay at the Bossotel

This is a relatively new hotel, thus, some drivers will find difficulty finding the place. That is the only disadvantage of this hotel. Otherwise, the staff were just excellent! The hotel interior was pretty creative, i believe its a restored shop house. They have a beautiful restaurant below, where you can have dinner overlooking the Chao Praya river and the Grand Temple.. such beautiful views during the night.. !!! Breakfast served was a feast, and very tasty! Even the General Manager would come by to say hello. Great personalised service from all the staff there really! Location wise i wouldnt say its the best, but its very near the Grand Temple if you wanna do sight seeing. I also wouldnt recommend stay here for families with Children as there are no elevators in the hotel, only a spiral staircase. Its a great hotel for singles, and couples who want something different. Overall, i had a great stay in the hotel because of the staff ! I would come back to stay again!

Another last-minute booking during our trip (agoda has been great for that), we were so happy with everything at this beautiful little hotel. Great location. Clean, comfortable room. Delicious breakfast. Best was the service – the staff was just so welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. We took local boat to temples, but property is also close to doc for tourist boat. Wish we had more time here.

my wife and I booked the hotel for 3 nights to celebrate our wedding anniversary. after we arrived we were shown an upstairs room. I told the mgr. that my wife has a condition that causes her to lose her balance and the stairs, with no rail, would be too dangerous for her. I then reminded the mgr that we had booked the black room, on the first floor. she brought the owner to talk to us and I repeated what I had told the mgr. the owner, Cee, said that agoda does not tell them which room was requested only that a room was requested. I looked up our online booking and saw that the rooms were described but not linked to a color and all the rooms are defined by their color. Cee then said that another thai couple had booked the black room for two nights and he could give us one night in it and the 2nd night in another room, then the 3rd night back in the first room but he would talk to the other man and see what he could do. when we came out for supper Cee told us that the other man said we could have the room all 3 nights. Thainess at it's best! everything about our stay was wonderful from the staff to the food to the quirky uniqueness of the room. we felt like honored guests in someone's home and not customers in a hotel. if you want a particular room i suggest you go to the Loy Lalong website and book directly.

This is a beautiful hotel. Although it might not be a 4 star hotel on any lists, it seems like a 4 or 5 star hotel disguised as a 3 star. It has very large rooms, with king size beds. The carpets and interior of the rooms are so clean, with beautiful art deco present in every room and hallway. It has a strong emphasis on the artistic side of decor. My room had a beautiful view of the city, for miles and miles. As a building, it is not among many tall buildings; this one just suddenly appears among a standard local culture district, with standard Thai food shops along the street. But only a few blocks away is a very big restaurant and shopping area called Asiatica, which is like a truly international food court. Asiatica reminded me of restaurant and shopping areas in California! Same kinds of great breweries, restaurants and establishments, including a French restaurant and many affordable Thai restaurants. Room comes with refrigerator, and various amenities. Above all, the room is huge, and a beautiful clean white with art on the walls and a TV ready to go. Great climate control. Room did not come with free breakfast, but apparently, some do. Very fast and easy check in. I happened to be there for their Festival of Lights religious holiday and so this Asiatica shopping area and the street Tongtara is on were truly packed with people. Taxi driver and hotel staff reassured me it is not always like this!! But this is a beautiful hotel, which not only has huge rooms, a sense of art and large beds. It seems to be a 4 or 5 star hotel disguised as a 3 star hotel in a 3 star area!!

Pros Free Handy Smart phone! Gosh, why don’t more international hotels offer this?! It was a smart phone that is free to use! Saved our butt quite a few times finding directions, contacting tours and contacting home. Nice looking hotel. Very clean and modern looking. Check in was pretty easy. Gave us a very nice dossier with all information. Gave us a place to store our luggage until our room was ready. Nice coffee shop, restaurant and rooftop bar that all had a great scenic view of the river. We had the small room, but it was nice with a stocked mini fridge and basket of snacks. Bottled water was free and everything else had a small price. Staff was helpful and booked us a 6 am taxi to the airport. Cons Poor WiFi. We don’t get international cell plans, so we rely on WiFi. You get only 3 WiFi logins per room. We both have 3 devices each, so we had to choose what we connected and didn’t. It also disconnected every time you left the hotel, so you had to log back in every time. It was quite slow as well, no streaming and very long download times. The Handy phone made up for some of this, but not all of it. Seemed to be on the “wrong” side of the river from everything we were wanting to do/main area. You have to take a ferry or a long and expensive taxi. There are markets and restaurants within walking distance. Additional info The check out process was different from all other hotels we’ve stayed in. We had a 6 am taxi to get to the airport so we went to the lobby shortly before 6 thinking we would just need to turn in our key. They needed to walk through the room with us, evaluate was was taken from the mini fridge and settle our tabs. Not really a con, just different so schedule in more time than usual for check out.

Service provide by all staff was on par with the best hotels in Hong Kong. They did so much to make me comfortable and enjoy my stay. I loved the room, decor, river view and how well the housekeeping staff took care of me and did the best job ever making my room comfortable. They all genuinely wanted me to enjoy my stay. In fact I had just returned at 3 PM and the front desk called to let me know they were serving tea - outstanding service and delicious tea. The view of the river is peaceful and part of the experience. Important Note: the location is not curbside to easy in and out taxi service. Getting to the hotel involves a walk through a neighborhood and a good sense of direction. The staff do all possible to mitigate this aspect, and many people stay there just because of the feeling of remoteness. Highly recommend this hotel.

Praya Palazzo Hotel is situated across mainland Bangkok, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and this is what I like the best. It has a colonial style architecture and is simply a stunning place to stay for any relaxing holiday getaway. The only mode of transportation to the hotel would be via the boat. The hotel has it's own boat to fetch their customers from the pier. All you need to do is to give them a call from the pier and they will arrange a boat to pick you up shortly and it will only take 5 minutes to reach the hotel. Besides the unique location, I would also like to compliment on their excellent customer service that makes our stay more enjoyable. It's always nice to see someone waiting for you with your room keys when they know that you are reaching the hotel. When we came back to our room on our first night, it's really comforting to see that someone has already make our bed and has even turned on the air-condition for us. In order for us to contact them for whatever issues when we are at mainland Bangkok, the staff even arranged a mobile phone to us for free. Another thing worth mentioning is the breakfast. It's not like those international buffet breakfast from any other hotels. Breakfast is served from their restaurant and all you need is to order from the menu and it will be served to shortly. It's definitely a star hotel and I would rate it 10 points and beyond if I could.

The hotel stands next to the river, but you need to keep your eyes open for the signs indicating where to turn off the main road, as the taxi drivers don't always know themselves. Situated sufficiently away from the main road, it is an oasis of quiet in a bustling metropolis. Staff are attentive and English language skills are not a problem. This hotel is used by a good number of coach operators, particularly for Chinese tourists it seems, so early evening and first thing in the morning the hotel can be teeming with groups checking in/out. Breakfast is best taken late, if you can, when you can have the breakfast area virtually to yourself. Would be more than happy to stay again. Was a good choice for us, with easy access from the airport and reasonably close to family in Nonthaburi.

A lifelong friend and I are traveling Thailand. The Swan Hotel is wonderful. It is not a new hotel but deserves 5 stars. The room is very basic but comforatable. The pool is fantastic and beautiful. The staff is the best. Always there to help you. Breakfast and lunch is very good with wonderful quick service. I will always stay here when I return. Thank You---Patricia Smith---Florida USA

Whether you’re a solo traveller, couple, or family - this place is absolutely amazing! From the moment you lay eyes on this aesthetically pleasing quaint boutique hotel - you will be in love! Talakkia is a hidden gem (literally, down a secure back alley), just a ten minute walk from Chinatown. The staff were exceptional, the food moderately priced and delicious, and the room superbly clean with everything you need - and not to mention the unique, modern-industrial chic decor, so cute! Would stay here a million times more if I could have the chance to! Handy mini bar with snacks and drinks to purchase, tiny (but wonderfully relaxing) outside pool and spa/reading/relaxing area, elevator, and ice cream are just a few of the other great perks! Side note - needed a quick shower after checking out and leaving for the day, staff easily let my partner and I come in, rent a towel, and shower up before a long night train ride (appreciate this so much!) - Talakkia, one of the best stays EVER.
