The Siam Heritage Hotel

I initially tried to book 4 nights through reception, but I was told there were no rooms, I then went to an online travel agency and I could see there were plenty of rooms. When I then booked online, and went to check in, the same person who told me there were no rooms then seemed to begrudgingly check me in. I could see the majority of other guests were of an older generation, so perhaps me being solo and in my late 30s made me not a typical guest of this establishment. Saying that, the rooms were clean, and the breakfast was OK, the person serving at the egg station seemed nice.

how can I describe this hotel, first of all I would not call it a hotel, but a refuge from life, routine, it's warm, welcoming and relaxing. In Bangkok, as in the rest of the world, hotels are all the same, from 2 to 5 stars, anonymous, more or less comfortable or more or less clean. This place is something else, it has its own soul, it goes further, in a big chaotic city like Bangkok it's the perfect place if you want to relax after a hot day of shopping, it's like feeling at home, its Thai/Hindu old fashion style makes this place magical, attention to detail, from the typical Thai dark wood furniture, to the objects you find in the room, the lights are not too strong. This hotel has a story to tell, the story of what Thailand is all about, from the paintings/pictures on the walls in the corridors, the statues outside the elevators, the roof terrace with pools surrounded by greenery representing Thai forests, and there's even a small altar that reflects what Thai culture is. The building is an old building, the floors in the corridors I think are originals from the past, very well maintained like the walls, the real Heritages. In Bangkok you can find anything, but if you are looking for a modern luxury hotel, this is not it, this is beyond luxury. I had been here my first time in Thailand in 2015, I have come to Bangkok other times and stayed in other more or less good hotels, I remember my first time, I had loved it right away, but I didn't remember where it was. Two weeks ago I was staying in another hotel, and I wanted to go to the night markets along Sukhumvit, because I remembered that it was nearby, and here I found it walking, I came through the porch and I said "it's him". I spent the last week in Pattaya, but I had to go back to Bangkok to go to the airport, I hadn't booked my last night in Bangkok yet, so under the porch of Siam Heritage I made my reservation for my last night. I arrived at around 1pm and they gave me the room, the suite, and I confess that after the relaxing bath, I actually sat down rocking chair to read a book with some good music and I didn't leave the room until the morning to take my flight. This will be my place anytime I will be in Bangkok

Staff is amazing. Hotel is very clean with inviting decor. 1 night, we had problems with aircon, so we were upgraded to the Suite, no extra cost. If you are looking for a place in the center of the center for nightlife. This is the place. Lovely pool in garden like settings at the rooftop.... Relaxed atmosphere, can highly recommend.....
