The Berkeley Hotel Pratunam

We had the triple room and it was very comfortable and huge. The breakfast was well appointed and delicious. It s best included when you book.

The Berkeley Loved my stay at the Berkeley. A solo traveller, I stayed here for seven nights up on the 25th floor of the main tower. The view was amazing. I had booked another room in the north tower but chose to upgrade when I arrived at the hotel. Definitely worth the upgrade! The breakfast buffet had a wonderful variety of choices- Japanese, Indian, fruit, bacon & eggs etc.. Plenty of tables. My room was lovely- with a wonderful sized shower & bath. The bed was super comfortable. Housekeeping was excellent. Be prepared, the six lifts are often super busy due to the sheer number of guests staying in the hotel. There are over 700 rooms! The pool area is gorgeous & well-maintained. Plenty of pool towels. The hotel is close to famous shopping malls you can easily walk to. They have great food courts. A big shout out to Chaco from the front desk who helped me out when the battery in the door in my room stopped working & I couldn’t access my room using the key card. It was late at night & Chaco was very helpful in getting the engineers to replace the battery. Overall, I loved my stay at the Berkeley & wouldn’t hesitate to stay at The Berkeley again.

The location of this hotel was great for shopping/city-break as it was within walking distance of the cheap Pratunam night+food+street markets slightly to the northwest and also the cleaner/westernized malls such as Century World a little to the south through a raised walkway. There is also a giant Big C market nearby and the Siam area including the Aquarium and Madame Tussauds are also walkable in about 25-30 mins. The hotel is connected to the Palladium indoor market and night market and diagonally opposite the Platinum fashion mall and adjoining night food market (mostly halal). The BTS is a bit far but the hotel also provides a free shuttle around the nearby area that should put you a bit closer to the Siam station. Some major sites (Wat Pho, Wat Arun and Grand Palace) arnd Chinatown are within about 30-minute drive (depending on traffic). The Jodd Fair night market is about 3km/15 mins by tuk tuk away. The hotel itself is pretty good I'd place it somewhere at the lower end of 5-star hotels in terms of both price and polish. I understand it was just over 10 years old when we stayed and we thought it offered a good balance between price and quality/convenience. The family room we stayed in was pretty spacious and our family of 4 (with 2 teenagers) didn't have much to complain about. For convenience, there is a 7-eleven, several cafes and western fast food joints adjoining the building. There was a great view from our 21st floor room.

breakfast spread was huge. the hotel is located barely 10mins walk from platinum shopping mall, which is good for us as we're avid shoppers who frequent that mall.

The hotel is modern and well-kept. Very accessible and near to important places to go in the area. Hailing a taxi or other transport is easy to and from the hotel because of its familiarity. The rooms are very spacious as well as the amenities in it. (Note that they provide glass containers for their water.) Which is nice. Their breakfast has a good amount of choices but some items can get repetitive but thankfully new options appear always to balance it. Everything is within walking distance from the hotel and the front desk has a free shuttle that can take you to places in the area such as MBK Center.
