Siri Oriental Bangkok Hotel

The location is in the old town and really close to the main attractions like the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Aran Temples and the river piers. The hotel was in a quiet area but there were great restaurants and street food nearby. Check out the only Michelin starred street food place a couple of streets away. Lots of the street food vendors are Michelin recommended. The night market of Khao San Road is well within walking distance. The team were friendly and very helpful and stored our luggage so as we could enjoy our last day. They helped to get taxis and tuktuks whenever we needed. We found the taxis to be a lot cheaper than the tuktuks, especially for longer trips to the big markets and China Town. The breakfast was excellent, with a different wide choice of cooked food each morning, along with fresh fruit and continental style breads. A great place to stay and reasonably priced into the bargain.

We booked this hotel primarly because of its location - walking distance to all main spots, temples, river, and also to Khaosan road, I think this is best area to stay when visiting BKK (we are not fans of siam area, skyscrapers and modern buildings). Staff is polite and welcoming, especially one receptionist (sorry I can't remember his name but he was the most welcoming receptionist during our Thailand trip). You can also leave luggage with them without any problem.

The staff treated us great. The breakfast was quite good, and the cooking staff was very accommodating. On our first day, it seemed that we were the only clients; regardless, they had the whole buffet set up for us. The second day we were pleased to see many families of other clients enjoying the good food, too. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful with things like tour and ATM and morning market information, and in getting us a Grab taxi.

The hotel has a great location, close to Khaosan Road, the Grand Palace, the Emerald Buddha and in a nice neighbourhoood. There is a 7/11 across the street and several good restaurants nearby. You can go to the rooftop to have an amazing view. All in all, it is a good hotel if you want to stay for a few days.

We could get to the temples by foot. Very Nice and helpful front office staff.
