The Peninsula Bangkok

There’s no place I would rather chill than The Peninsula Bangkok. Back to my beautiful suite with the heavenly bed & views over the Chao Phraya, the his & hers bathroom (with a choice of robes!) & a seperate wc for one of us 🙄 The walk-in wardrobe complete with newspaper/shoe shine box, plus daily treats, endless supply of coffee & ice… still the best buffet breakfast (more on the food later) & the most relaxing, well managed pool in Bangkok. Even the boat captains excel. My first Pen experience and still my favourite.

Exceptional hospitality and a very classy hotel / ambience. It was a privilege to stay at Peninsula because of the service - 1) from arrival (where several staff immediately greeted and took care of the luggage) 2) the swift check in (i believe the person’s name was Lin?) with such ease and smile. Thank you for the large room (upgrade i think) and for the high floor (one request that i had). 3) well appointed room, serene and elegant. It might look slightly dated (carpet) but it was perfect. Fruits were ready in the room, which were provided every day. Enjoyed them very much as snack. 4) housekeeping - so attentive, tidying up the phone charging cables and leaving lens cleaning cloth for my glasses. Turn down service would lay slippers out and provide a new plate of fresh fruits again. 5) pool - ample amount of space dotted with loungers and cabanas. Had incredibly attentive staff who would bring water and also set up the cabana or loungers of your choice. Only stayed two nights but they really knew their guests. I was at the cabana and my mother came much later but the staff ushered her to where i was, without having to ask my mother. 6) breakfast at the river terrace - great view, exceptional service. Variety of food. A tiny bug fell into my coffee and the staff noticed it and brought a new coffee for me swiftly. Everyone was super attentive. I regretted that I had only booked two nights at Peninsula.

We came as a family with 5 in 2 rooms. An exceptionally great hotel in Bangkok with friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are fantastic, so is the pool and spa area. I found the transportation services extremely practical, esp the boat services. The terrace cafe for a drink at night is then a great spot to close the day.

Luxurious 5 star hotel. Decor is a bit dated but generally very well apppointed. Staff were excellent and very helpful. Nice touch when we were leaving Bangkok there were hotel staff at the airport to assist with checking in through to the security gates. Showers were the most powerful I have ever experienced. Room were a decent size and all have good views of the river.

Customer service of staff - in general, in hotel, restaurants and especially at the Pool. Also, the transfer car service to the airport was excellent. Mr. Chu (sorry if spelling is wrong; he is the gentleman that met us at the airport upon arrival and at departure walked us through checkin) is the most excellent. Driver Sonny is also excellent and would highly recommend. The NY Eve party and banquet was AWESOME!
