Stayed here for 4 nights over the Loi Krathong weekend. An absolutely fantastic hotel where every member of staff goes out of their way to greet you rather than shying away. The views are amazing from this 64 storey hotel. We stayed on the 55th floor and had a great view out over the river - on this side there is no other building nearly as high to block any view. The view from the SkyBar is magnificent but be warned if you arrive later in the evening as you may have to buy a drink before being allowed outside - average drink prices were about GBP5.00, and the dress code for the bars and restaurants is strictly enforced. The hotel is a 5 minute walk from Oriental pier where the riverbus can take you to the Grand Palace - beats the BKK traffic, although you have to negotiate a busy road junction outside of the hotel that has no pedestrian safe crossing period. If you like street food head out to the road behind the hotel, or go under the Taksin BTS
Skytrain station which is just over 5 minutes walk away. Breakfast is standard hotel buffet style with Western and Eastern choices, there didn't seem to be a problem with table shortages despite the hotel feeling pretty busy.

Cheers McMaddog! Sounds like a nice hotel.

Thanks,
