We took the SkyTrain to this hotel the last whole day we had in Bangkok to round up an adventurous holiday in Thailand. Got seated with a nice view over the river. I'm not into cakes, but those of us who like cakes gave their compliments to the chef. I want to highlight the croissant with tuna as well as a butterdough cup filled with vanilla cream - delicious! Very friendly staffing og good service! One of many memories to take with us from Thailand!

Located on the river and close to ferry terminal. We had a river view room which was a large size with balcony. Service was impeccable and staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Breakfast was very good and had either indoor or outdoor options. Two nice pools as well.

If you are looking for a 5 Star hotel on the river in the hustle & bustle of Bangkok, then the Shanghai-La is your hotel. The hotel is impressive from the moment you drive up the driveway ramp. The hotel has 1st rate staff & facilities which I can’t fault. The absolute river front bars, restaurants and pool are great spots to relax and watch the busy river activities go pass.

Simply not as good quality as previously. This is our 3rd stay here and probably our last. We upgraded to the Krungthep Wing as we did so previously and the perks were great. Now there aren't any perks at all and it is deserted. I mentioned this in an email to the hotel and they couldn't even be bothered to reply, further proof that their standards are not what they should be.

Came for a holiday here with family of 3. Wonderful place to stay in Bangkok. It’s near the Icon Siam mall. Boat service is on time & reliable. Pool is overlooking the Chao Phraya River. Staff are attentive and good. Breakfast is good too. Overall the stay was nice & would recommend.

I noticed that I had lost all the documentation pertaining to my booking as I was checking in at the Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok. It did not seem to matter, since they had all the details of my booking, and to my great surprise I was given an upgrade in the King Kungthrup Wing. An unforgettable experience.
