I'm in BKK every 12 weeks with my work and it's now my 2nd visit to this gem of a place, vey kitch and unique..I love the fact that it's not your normal corporate boring hotel and it's something completely different. Despite being in the bustle in Chinatown i've found it very quiet although though there is some refurb going on at the moment. Staff are lovely, rooms nice, breakfast OK and free internet. I would class this as a basic hotel that's clean and welcoming and fine if it's just a quick stay but not for a weeks holiday. If you go shopping in Chinatown, head to Sam Peng Soi early as after 10am it's mega busy. The only things I don't like about the S.H. are the concete floors and a price list inventory...who wants to steal the curtains or tissue box cover I ask!

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone who has issues with noise. We stayed in the suite which was spacious with very funky design, but it faces a big road so it was very loud. The room has an adjacent bathroom with a shower, it has a tv and a free (though almost empty) minibar. The staff was nice and kept our luggage for a few hours between check-out and leaving to the airport. They also organised a decent priced taxi to the airport. Underneath the hotel is a Spa, which we did not make any use of, but which had extremely reasonable prices. The hotel is located in Chinatown which is fun, but it is quite a walk to the train station (the nearest place to get onto public transport).

We had a delightful stay at the Shanghai Inn in Bangkok, Thailand. The greeting the evening we arrived was very friendly and polite. The inn is beautifully decorated, very boutique and romantic. The location was perfect for street action in the middle of China Town and touring to the temples, Grand Palace and street markets. The staff was helpful and courteous at all times. Always going out of their way to see that we had accurate directions and information. I highly recommend their Thai massage at the spa in the hotel. The therapist was very thorough and I felt fabulous! Their breakfasts are well stocked and complete from fresh fruit to bacon and eggs! After a day of touring we would spend some time in the lobby area relaxing sipping Thai beer and perusing their library. Our original plans were to spend three nights but we spent two nights and left early the third day. Our flight from the US was delayed and we arrived one day late and the inn was so generous to delete the third night from our charge! I can highly recommended the Shanghai Inn for a great stay in China Town, Bangkok, Thailand! Jeanette Oklahoma City, OK USA
