We recently stayed at the Pathumwan Princess, enjoying four nights at this establishment. We have stayed there on one other occasion and returned for a number of reasons. Firstly the service is second to none, the standard of service offered is very high and all staff were friendly, courteous and very obliging. Secondly is the convenience to all major shopping areas. The rooms have been renovated and are fresh and modern in their layout. Our bed was the best and the doona soft, light and fluffy. Our room on the 27th floor, had amazing views over the city of Bangkok and it was wonderful to watch the non-stop craziness of this city and to see the storms roll in and just as quickly blow away. Security is evident, very efficient, so one feels very safe. The various restaurants offer exceptional service and quality of food is International level. The Gym (Olympic Club) is one of the most well appointed that you will ever encounter and the Pathumwan also offers other sporting facilities including a walking track.

The hotel is directly linked to the MBK building which is an eight level shopping complex as well as Japan's Tokyu Department store. Directly linked by walkways are Siam Discovery, Siam Centre, and the luxurious shopping range of the Siam Paragon. During our last stay we used the tour desk facilities and booked a car and driver and had a full day of touring which in the end saved on both time (as you are not waiting on a full bus load of people to complete their tour) and therefore money. We saw five 'sights' in the one day, in our comfortable airconditioned vehicle. If you are unsure of a tour to undertake on any day, we booked (again at the tour desk), the White Orchid River Cruise to Ayutthaya for the full day tour. The Pathumwan's rates were very reasonable and the tour was exceptional and shows Bangkok's history beautifully.

We booked our accommodation directly through the Pathumwan's website which offers great discounts and the service is very efficient and the staff very obliging of requests. So the convenience of this hotel is second to none. The service and amenities offered exceptional, along with the very affordable accommodation rates. Check it out.
