We had a great stay at the Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel Riverside in Bangkok in January 2025. We were here with work. The hotel is in a great location and not far from many of the must see sights of Bangkok. It was made very special by the service we received from Ann in the club lounge.

But since the primary member, my husband could not accompany on this trip, they refused to give any member benefits. This is after the Marriott rep who we had spoken to before coming having assured that everything will remain the same. The hotel staff was almost rude while refusing to give us breakfast or club access. This is certainly the last time I am staying in a Sheraton/ Marriott Bonvoy property. Read less

My husband and I plus our 2 young boys (18mo & 5 years) had 1 night here before our long flight home and had a fabulous stay! From the moment we arrived in the car, Mr A took wonderful care of us and treated us like old friends! He coordinated our return transfer to the airport (at half the price we paid coming in!), and checked in with us throughout our stay to ensure we had all the information we needed and that every detail was sorted. Not only was Mr A incredibly gracious and helpful, but all of the staff were wonderfully warm and courteous. Although we were there only for an afternoon and evening, we were able to make the most of it with the free river shuttle to the big shopping mall right across the street. We also wanted to enjoy a tuk tuk ride through the city, and there were plenty for hire right in front of the hotel. We were fortunate enough to upgrade to lounge access and found it was well worth the extra cost. The room, especially the view of the river, was extraordinary, as was the free appetizers and drinks in the evening. The free breakfast buffet was extensive and we were spoiled for choice (though not for time as we had an early pickup for the airport). We look forward to coming back again and will make sure to stay longer next time! Thanks again for everything, Mr A! You are top-notch! Read less
