MS Mansion

The rooms at MS Mansion sleep between two and five guests. Rooms can have air conditioning, a private bathroom with a shower, toiletries and towels, a desk, a closet, a microwave, a refrigerator and a window that opens.

The queen and double beds fit the two-guest rooms, and some rooms look out over the city. Blackout curtains, free bottled water and a flat-screen TV also feature in some of the rooms.

The property has a restaurant and room service, and it also has a convenience store, a salon and shops. A laundry service, luggage storage and daily housekeeping are available, and 24-hour security is in place. Air conditioning covers the public areas, and English and Thai are spoken.

Parking on site is free, and the property also offers an airport transfer for guests who need one. Free Wi-Fi covers all rooms and also reaches the public areas, so the connection covers both the rooms and the shared spaces of the hotel.

Satellite and cable channels, a telephone and internet services are provided as well, rounding out the range of facilities available to guests.

MS Mansion stands in the Thonburi district, on the western bank of the Chao Phraya River, in a more residential side of Bangkok than the old city across the water. The streets around Charan Sanitwong Road mix residential lanes with temples such as Wat Chatkaew and Wat Bangplad, and the pace is calmer than in the central shopping districts. Yanhee Hospital is also close by, so the area works well for everyday errands as well as for sightseeing. It is a sensible choice for travellers who want a quiet stay by the river with easy access to the main sights.

Bang O MRT Station is 850 m away for travel by metro across the city, and ferry terminals at Bang Po and Rama 7 Bridge are nearby for crossings of the river. Across the water, the Grand Palace is 6.6 km away, and Wat Pho, the temple with the giant reclining Buddha, is 6.9 km away. The Chatuchak Weekend Market, a huge weekend market, is 4.1 km away and is a good place for a weekend morning of browsing.

A good day here combines the temples of Wat Pho and the Grand Palace in the old city with a morning at the Chatuchak Weekend Market. Wat Arun, a riverside temple with a tall central prang, sits on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya and makes a useful stop for a walk along the water. Guests can also explore the lanes around the hotel on foot, which is a relaxed way to see everyday life on this side of the river.
