In
my
opinion
The
Siam
is
a
one
of
a
kind
hotel
with
almost
no
benchmark
to
compare
to
in
Bangkok:
it
would
be
like
comparing
an
old
collectible
classic
car
to
a
brand
new
sports
car.
The
Siam
is
almost
like
a
resort
in
the
city,
and
the
hotel
also
looks
like
a
museum
with
many
historical
artefacts
in
the
common
areas
and
also
in
the
rooms.
The
hotel
is
low-rise
and
only
has
39
suites
and
villas
so
very
quiet
which
in
periods
of
high
occupancy
in
the
city
(non-covid
times)
would
be
a
nice
change
from
the
large
busy
hotels.
The
Siam
is
also
in
a
large
compound
isolated
from
the
rest
of
the
city
with
vegetation
to
give
a
strong
resort
feeling.
I
booked
the
entry
level
room
(80
sqm)
and
received
a
one-category
upgrade
at
check-in
to
the
to
Mae
Nam
Suite
(90
sqm).
The
fact
that
even
the
cheapest
rooms
at
this
hotel
are
so
large
means
that
for
people
who
value
space,
when
comparing
to
other
hotels
you
probably
have
to
match
with
the
higher
level
room
types.
In
that
regard
The
Siam
is
comparable
to
137
Pillars
where
all
rooms
are
suites
and
quite
large,
therefore
the
starting
price
is
not
cheap.
The
Mae
Nam
suites
are
on
the
second
floor
of
the
hotel
and
have
modest
water
views;
the
better
views
are
on
the
3rd
floor
and
those
rooms
are
the
Riverview
suites.
That
said,
regardless
of
which
room
type
the
views
are
nicer
at
the
other
riverside
hotels
such
as
Mandarin
Oriental,
Four
Seasons,
and
Capella.
The
Siam
is
an
old
hotel
and
the
room
is
unmatched
in
terms
of
design
with
a
very
traditional
and
historical
feeling
rather
than
the
modern
design
of
many
other
luxury
hotels.
The
room
was
very
long
with
the
window
at
the
far
end
which
made
the
room
a
bit
dark.
Also
because
this
is
effectively
a
resort,
it’s
one
of
the
few
hotels
in
Bangkok
where
I
saw
mosquito
repellant
in
the
room
which
ended
up
being
useful
because
we
had
a
few
unwanted
visitors
during
our
stay.
The
hotel
common
areas
were
stunning
and
beautiful,
as
mentioned
above
almost
like
a
museum,
and
worth
the
visit
by
itself.
The
movie
room
was
particularly
interesting
where
you
can
login
to
your
Netflix
account
and
project
a
movie
on
the
large
screen
and
even
have
the
possibility
to
order
a
set
dinner
or
lunch
box.
Breakfast
was
outdoors
close
to
the
river
in
an
enjoyable
venue
to
start
the
day.
The
a
la
carte
menu
was
quite
good
with
a
mix
of
western
and
Asian
options
including
attractive
and
upscale
protein
dishes.
One
evening
we
ordered
cocktails
at
their
seating
area
near
the
dock
which
is
very
nice,
but
the
cocktails
were
quite
weak
and
nowhere
near
the
caliber
of
drinks
at
Four
Seasons,
Mandarin
Oriental,
or
Waldorf
Astoria.
In
my
opinion
the
bar
is
a
point
of
improvement
at
The
Siam.
The
service
during
our
stay
was
very
good
and
definitely
more
resort-style
which
means
down
to
earth
and
relaxed.
Also
the
hotel
being
quite
small
it’s
easier
to
be
recognized
by
staff
and
the
GM
is
quite
visible
and
available
to
guests
at
all
times
so
he
sets
the
tone
for
the
rest
of
the
staff.
Overall
this
hotel
can
be
ideal
for
people
looking
for
a
small
and
private
boutique
hotel
with
a
resort
feeling
and
a
sharp
break
from
the
ordinary,
because
of
its
charming
historical
rooms
and
beautiful
common
areas.
It
is
almost
impossible
to
compare
with
more
modern
or
renovated
hotels
elsewhere
in
the
city
who
provide
more
traditional
luxury
rather
than
‘antique’
luxury
such
as
The
Siam.
The
most
loyal
guests
at
The
Siam
will
certainly
not
consider
alternatives
in
Bangkok
to
be
suitable
for
them.
