Frommer's "The larger, much-older Narai Hotel is a clean, comfortable standard hotel, popular with tour groups." Full review
Fodor's "Dating back to 1969, this is one of Bangkok's older hotels, but it's well kept up and conveniently located by the business district on Silom Road." Full review
Lonely Planet "The Narai is a slick establishment that lacks the shabby feel so prevalent among mid-range options." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Once a top level venue, this hotel is now overshadowed in ambience and price by its more modern neighbors."
