Oriental Residence Hotels in Bangkok

I booked the Oriental Residence Bangkok on Trip.com for a business conference stay and stayed in the one bedroom suite with park view with my partner. I chose the hotel because it appeared less ostentatious than most hotels in that stretch. The Oriental Residence Bangkok is discreet. If you appreciate quiet, solitude and discretion, then this is what you will get during your stay. For travellers who are looking for an adventure or close proximity to a shopping mall, this might not be the place for you. The overall experience at this hotel was fine. It was what was to be expected in a 5-star hotel. The hotel room that we had was spacious and had most of the amenities needed (especially if you are a remote worker who needs to be on your laptop 24/7). The internet is fast and the workspace station comfortable enough to get things done without distraction. The kitchen is fully furnished in the event you need bowls, plates or cups for an inside meal. There is also a decent washer-dryer that can be used if you would like to wash dirty laundry. The hotel also provides twice a day cleaning - one in the mid-afternoon and a turn down service in the evening. Because of this meticulous approach to cleanliness, my allergies were not triggered at all which was definitely a huge thumbs up. I had no issue whatsoever with their bedding and linen. In fact, it was so sleep-friendly that I had a good rest for the entire trip. This is quite something for someone with irregular sleep patterns. The only gripe I had with the hotel was that they were not able to accept a payment deposit without an actual credit card. I had a virtual credit card and barely any cash on hand. However, this is a minor issue and not something that I am particularly miffed about. I have read some of the 1-star reviews with regards to this hotel, and not experienced any of them. If you are a business traveller looking for a quiet and decent 5-star place to stay, this hotel does the job.
