Frommer's "Guest rooms are typical of a Chinese-style hotel, with all the useful amenities usually found in more expensive hotels, but without sparing Thai-style touches and character." Full review
DK Eyewitness "In the heart of Chinatown, surrounded by a maze of streets and shops, this hotel is housed in the Grand China Trade Tower, and has comfortable rooms and suites with full amenities."
Rough Guide "The poshest hotel in Chinatown boasts fairly luxurious accommodation in its 27-storey tower close to the heart of the bustle, with stunning views over all the city landmarks."
Time Out "Large rooms, some with balconies, overlook the city and river. The top floor has Bangkok's only revolving club lounge (open in the evenings)." Full review
Lonely Planet "A certifiable monstrosity from the outside, this hotel in the heart of Chinatown is popular with groups and has nondescript but comfortable rooms buoyed by great views."
Fodor's "Hard to find, and in the middle of an insanely busy area, the Grand China is part mall, part hotel, and acts as a landmark for one of the oldest neighborhoods in Bangkok--Chinatown." Full review

DK Eyewitness "This hotel advocates the slow life. The food is vegetarian and purely organic and the place is small, but pays attention to details."
Rough Guide "What was once a seedy short-time motel has been transformed into a bohemian haven with genuine eco-conscious and socially engaged sensibilities and a tangible fair-trade philosophy."
Time Out "This cosy guesthouse melds bygone styles of Thai wooden-house living with art and a sense of community." Full review

Lonely PlanetTop choice
