I truly love the Oriental, as a return guest the service and treatment improve each time. From room upgrades to overall service. Last trip I had an early departure and the front desk made sure I had continental breakfast along with a wake up call. The breakfast came without charge.

The hotel is NOT stuffy. It caters to its guests first and formost but stuffy it is NOT. I have been there with teenagers and they were treated well despite their casual dress and loud moments in the public areas.

The Oriental may not be for everyone. It is older (although constant rehab in the works), The rooms are not HUGE but they are comfortable. The hotel has character that NO other hotel in BKK has. Its an institution.
