Bangkok's worst hotel and other Bangkok, Thailand Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

In the early hours of 30 March my son was the victim of an unprovoked street attack by a drunken European. Concussed, with black eyes, a broken nose and with his teeth knocked out he did the only thing he could think of, returned to our hotel by taxi to get help. Immediately, I accompanied him to reception to ask them to contact theTourist Police and a doctor. My son looked as if he had gone 12 rounds with Mike Tyson and was clearly in urgent need of medical attention. To my astonishment I was met with total indifference by the young woman and man on the desk. After some urging on my part they told me they did not have a doctor's number and were extremely reluctant to call the Police. Eventually, without help, I took a taxi and got my son to the local police and hospital. They, by the way were wonderful. The same cannot be said for the Grand China Princess. It was only after I reminded the young woman receptionist that in a Buddhist country two foreigners in our position might expect a little human compassion that she reluctantly picked up the telephone and put us through to the Tourist Police. Both receptionists seemed concerned by only one thing - to charge the cost of the telephone call to my room! When I checked out the next day with my severely concussed son, the Chinese Manager was sickening, bowing, scraping and grovelling, yet clearly more interested in the small bottle of water that had apparently not been paid for from the mini-bar than the behaviour of his staff to foreign guests. I can only suggest that you give this cold dark unfriendly hotel the widest berth, because if you SHOULD have any problems or God forbid - an illness in this wonderful country --this particular hotel will watch you die and then charge you for the inconvenience. By the way, the food was awful, the only bad food I ate in a month in Thailand-- and the "oasis" on the hotel. . roof is an arid waste with a tiny pool. Don't go! Freiia. London
