Any experience with the Mandarin Hotel in Bangkok?

 

How is it?

 

Is it girl friendly?

 

Thanks.

not girl freindly, and rooms very poor/jaded.

If you mean the Mandarin Hotel on Silom, that sucks. If you are talking about the Mandarin Oriental - one of the best Hotels in Bangkok (and in fact voted Best Hotel of the World a view times) Hardly the same but many people mistake one for the other.

Stayed at the Mandarin last year as I wanted to be near the train station for a trip to Hua Hin.

 

As Max and Cybers said, it's well run down. If you just need a cheap bed for the night it could be suitable but there has to be better places around. Forgot what I paid, $20 or something, with breakfast.

Yeah, as Roppongi said, there are plenty of rooms in the same price range that are far better value for money and less guest hassle. I think the current price at the Madarin Hotel is about 900 Baht or so (maybe slightly below). Check out places at Sukhumvit (President Suites, Woraburi, and many more and if you can spend a bit more, check the Omni for example), from there you can be at Silom in a short time since the BTS serves Silom with the Sala Daeng Station.
