Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Bangkok Menam Riverside

Very smart hotel in a great location. I had a deluxe room on the 8th floor which look out towards the river and the Asiaatique centre. Great breakfast choice in a riverside setting. It did get very busy on the second day when a huge party of Chinese tourists all came to breakfast at once! Therefor probably best to come early or later! The hotel has a complimentary river boat to shuttle you to the main feer boat station.

Pros: Location is right on the Chao Praya river. You can have breakfast overlooking the river. The hotel also provides free boat transportation to Sathorn Pier (Taksin BTS station). There is a Bangkok Bank branch right aroubd the corner. The hotel provides free snacks (dried peas, dried mung beans) and drinks (rosella tea, pandan leaf tea) in the lobby. Breakfast is plentiful,. There is the usual array of pastry, croissant, sausage, egg, bacon, asian fare like noodle, porridge, soy milk, pandan leaf sauce, fresh fruit (pineapple, watermelon, cantaloupe, dragon fruit), canned fruit (rambutan, longan). I wish that the hotel would also provide more local fresh fruit like mango, banana, etc. We really enjoyed our stay and wish we had more time there than just 3 days. Cons: The first room we were given, on the 7th floor, had a musty smell. We had to ask for another room. The 2nd room, on the 6th floor, is nice and spacious, but there are specks of soot on the bed cover, probably from the vent above; and the sink in the bathroom doesn't drain properly. We just put up with it,

We stayed here for 3 nights, on the 15th Floor (Executive Floor) and can highly recommend to stay here. The room wasn't like on the pictures (booked through OTA), it was much nicer, larger and had everything you need. Housekeeping did a great job, the room was presented nicely and very clean, the bed was comfortable, the AC very quiet and everything was working. All staff at the Hotel were very professional and friendly. The staff on the 15th floor were outstanding. GM seems to come up for afternoon snacks and I never saw any guests complaining to him directly, so I'm assuming all other guests were as happy as we were. Shout out to Rutty from concierge downstairs, she always greeted us with a big smile and was super friendly, welcoming and helpful. Breakfast downstairs was great, lots of choice for vegetarians, the food on the 15th floor was amazing. We used the gym as well, excellent equipment, clean, towels and drinking water provided, it was great working out in the early a.m. and seeing the sun rise over Bangkok. The location of the hotel is fantastic, lots of little side roads to explore nearby (with great food), and a free shuttle boat to take you to and from Saphan Taksin BTS station. Only downside was the damp smell in the room. As the window in our room didn't open, there is nothing really that can be done. We didn't spend much time in the room anyway and during the night the smell didn't bother us as we didn't smell anything whilst sleeping. Overall the best Wyndham property I've ever stayed at. Would definitely come back.
