Great location on the Chao Phraya River opposite the spectacular Icon Siam shopping mall. The hotel was once the epitome of luxury and opulence but has since dated, most noticeably with the hotel room carpets being a bit musty. However, the 4-star rating is less due to the physical condition and more because of the less-well-trained staff around the pool and restaurants. The gym is also very small relative to the size of this hotel and would need an upgrade as part of the next refurbishment program. Overall, we were very comfortable in our adjoining rooms on level 19, blessed with plenty of space for us and our two teenagers and amazing views of the river looking downstream. The hotel presented good value for money…so use your elbows when approaching the breakfast buffet as some of the budget travellers can lack in manners.
