Katharine Fraser 2009-10-18	Bangkok Marriott Resort & Spa, Riverside, Charoennakorn Road This hotel was chosen based on having facilities suitable for travelling with a 6 year old ie western food on menu and large swimming pool - in these terms the hotel delivers well enough although I am not entirely convinced we received the Junior Suite we had booked (compared with internet photos) - but the room was clean and large and suited us fine so we didn t follow this up. The hotel lacks atmosphere being a large chain hotel, but the facilities are good and the resort is spotlessly clean. Breakfast was also a highlight even compared with other Thailand Hotels in which we have stayed including the Mandarin Oriental.	Easy and reliable
Jeremy D. Thomson 2009-08-06	Bangkok Marriott Resort & Spa, Riverside, Charoennakorn Road This was our first time to Thailand (Bangkok) and were really pleased with the hotel overall. True to its resort name, the Bangkok Marriott Resort & Spa is a great oasis/getaway. The room was clean and quite, the view (we chose a deluxe river view room and were lucky enough to get a corner) was good for what it was, and the bed was quite comfortable. The hotel staff were all very friendly and understood English (for the most part), and the concierge was especially helpful in helping us plan out tour/shopping routes--including helping give us approximate taxi/Tuk-tuk fair prices--which you ll quickly learn is very useful. In terms of facilities, we used the pool (6:00am--11:00pm) almost every day, and took advantage of the poolside Happy Hour (2-for-1 of the same drink, 4:00--6:00pm) more than once. The pool was also never really that crowded, which was nice. If you re really eager I suggest you try swimming at 6:00am or so--it s like having a private pool to yourself. Breakfast (included with our room) was buffet-style, but included an ample selection of both western and Thai food to make it appealing even over five days. The only restaurant in the resort we went to was Benihana, which was overpriced (and is NOT Japanese food) but was tasty and provided a great show. The fitness facilities are 24 hours, and offer a proper selection of machines, free weights and weight machines (I ve stayed at a lot of hotels and I was quite pleased with these ones). The mini mall directly across the street from the hotel was great, and includes three massage places that offer good service for a cost that a sixth of that at the hotel. Similarly there are a few Thai restaurants that offer good value and great portions . During our stay we also attended the Cruise run by the hotel--and while it is expensive (drinks are not included in the ticket price), the meal was good, the volume great, and the tour memorable. In terms of location, as the hotel is located away from downtown (but easily accessible via the free shuttle boat), I would also recommend that one takes advantage of the fact and go on a speedboat tour to the Wat Po and the Imperial palace. We took the long way around, and got to experience the back rivers and slums, which we both felt were an important part of our experience. Overall I d rate the resort 4.5/5--definitely good value for your money, a memorable experience, easily accessible (via boat/monorail or taxi) to downtown and all of the major historical/sightseeing locations.	While there were some slight communication problems, email responses were always quick, courteous and professional.
Robert Woytovich 2009-07-17	Bangkok Marriott Resort & Spa, Riverside, Charoennakorn Road Great room, beautiful grounds/gardens. A great place to stay.	Easy booking.
Aliette VETTER 2009-07-08	Bangkok Marriott Resort & Spa, Riverside, Charoennakorn Road Voila 4 années de suite que nous nous rendons dans cet hotel. Toujours aussi agréable avec un super petit déjeuner, rarement égalé par rapport à beaucoup d autres hotels de cette categorie. L unique reproche que l on puisse lui faire est le manque de WIFI gratuit et la mise à disposition d un ordinateur pour la clientele dans le hall de la reception.	Excellent service
MA Hoosain 2009-04-14	Bangkok Marriott Resort & Spa, Riverside, Charoennakorn Road This was our 2nd visit to this hotel. Our previous visit was 18 months ago and based on the exceptional experience then, we decided to select this hotel again on our visit to Bangkok. This time, the hotel was exceptionally busy and looked like it was fully booked. This impacted our experience at breakfast where we had to wait for up to 10 minutes to be seated every morning during our stay. Also this resulted in people crowding over the various food stations at breakfast, which made breakfast a rather frenetic and stressful experience. The food however was of an exceptional standard and plentiful. Management was always visible during breakfast times and regularly interacted with guests. Due to the number of guests, service by staff was poor (probably due to the Sonkrang festival)and we had to constantly flag down a waiter. The furnishings in the hotel was not as plush as it was 18 months ago (probably due to wear and tear)and detracted from the 5 star experience. Our room was exceptionally clean, but there was a damp smell after using the shower. Due to this experience, I would probably use another hotel next time I visit Bangkok. I would still recommmend the hotel for the resort feel, but it needs to be refurbished.	Booking service was excellent, offered very good rates,was efficient and easy to use. Would definitely use this service again.
Geoffrey Rose 2009-03-02	Bangkok Marriott Resort & Spa, Riverside, Charoennakorn Road Lovely hotel set on the river with great boat link to the skytrain which is pretty important for getting around bangkok. We has a good room overlooking the pool area and onto the river which was well supplied and spacious. Breakfast wasa good experience and sadly missed when we left. On the down side EVERYTHING was soo over priced! I know this should be expected at a city hotel but it put us off eating and drinking at the hotel as the up mark was soo extreme. A bit of a let down but still a good hotel in a nice location.
Barbara Karpf 2009-01-07	Bangkok Marriott Resort & Spa, Riverside, Charoennakorn Road Really an oasis in this exiting but also exhausting megacity! Great room and service, wonderful gardens, including the impressive monitor lizards on the trees.	Perfect.

Oliver Schefer 2009-01-04	Bangkok Marriott Resort & Spa, Riverside, Charoennakorn Road It was our most wonderful stay in Thailand so far. Very nice hotel, beautiful room and very friendly staff as well.
Mr.John Weir 2008-10-14	Bangkok Marriott Resort & Spa, Riverside, Charoennakorn Road Good place to stay with great food and service. Rooms are spacious and well set out. We stayed for two nights to take our young children to DreamWorld (worth a visit for a good inexpensive day out) but is more suited for couples then young families for a longer period. This is the second year we have stayed there for a short period and would do so again.	Usual high standards, easy and hassle free
