The Berkeley Hotel Pratunam - SHA Extra Plus

Our summary of The Berkeley Hotel Pratunam - SHA Extra Plus

The Berkeley Hotel Pratunam is located in Bangkok's Siam area - the place with all the new and modern malls like Platinum, Pratunam Market, and CentralWorld which are all within walking distance. To get to other areas, the Phloen Chit station of the Sukhumvit Line is about a 19-minute walk away, while the Pratunam Pier of the river ferry is just across the road, less than 100 meters from the hotel's entrance. The Erawan Shrine is 12 minutes away on foot.

The hotel rooms are spacious and well-appointed, successfully merging Thai and European styles of architecture and interior design. All rooms are equipped with flat-screen TVs, safety boxes, air conditioning, and sleek marble bathrooms. Rooms on higher floors also have nice views. The rooms are split between two towers, which means you might have to take a short walk to access certain facilities or take 2 lifts up, but the design and comfort make up for it. The rooms are generally larger than the average in Bangkok.

At Berkeley, there are two outdoor swimming pools, one of which is on the rooftop, with an overall amazing area to relax at. The gym, however, is small for a hotel of this size though it has enough equipment for most workouts.

There are several on-site restaurants for different tastes. The Mulberry serves exquisite Chinese meals, the Berkeley Dining Room is for the elegant fine dining and the Oak Bar is where you should go if you want to watch your favorite sports games.

The breakfast is buffet-style with a wide range of selections and options for different diets. The egg station receives stellar reviews.

Overall, The Berkeley Hotel Pratunam is a large luxury hotel that ticks all the boxes for service, facilities, and location. Just be prepared for a bit of a crowd and walking around the hotel given its popularity and size.
