Although somewhat difficult to find - based on the provided map - once there, the welcome from Patti was great and VERY efficient. A cold drink/towel helped while we sorted the formalities. We were there for Prus birthday - but made no mention of it - but upon returning to the hotel after dinner at Scirocco, they had left her a chocolate birthday cake in the room. Breakfast has a good selection of Western and Asian food and is part of the room cost. The rooms are comfortable but plumbing is a little 'quirky'! Service staff are very nice to deal with and very quick - less than 5mins after requesting to do some laundry, they were there to collect! The main area/water feature is lovely; all the staff are friendly and very efficient; they can organize tuk tuk/taxi if you want to go out and about. The robes/slippers are good quality and even fit those of us who are non-Asian and on the larger size! Location in Chinatown is great - with some lovely places to eat nearby. Regular night markets in the area and the MRT nearby makes it easy to travel further afield - even all the way to Chatuchak Market! A REALLY GREAT place to stay - but use the odd-numbered rooms, as even-numbered do not appear to have windows due to the location/construction of the hotel. Its entrance is over the Tops supermarket, so you can buy snacks etc there.

Something a little different - in a nice way! A true boutique hotel. If you want to stay in Chinatown at a moderately priced hotel, the Shanghai Mansion is well worth considering.

Nice decor, great ambience and helpful staff.

I love this hotel and have been staying here annually for about 6 years. It is calming and elegant. I was disappointed to see a major change in staff and this year I did not feel recognized or appreciated as a long-term customer. Past years have been welcomed as an old friend. I do understand that people are now realizing what a wonderful place this is and bookings are definitely up! I recommend booking in advance. I am usually upgraded to a suite as I am a regular and this year was initially asked to pay for it but they later gave that too me at no charge. Somebody must have looked up my history. The area of Chinatown Bangkok is amazing and I love it but for some people it is too busy/ crazy/ noisy. Food is spectacular and the alleys are day’s worth of exploring. I find it a handy location to pat pong and Kho Shan road. Tuk tuk drivers will often try to charge more as there is always a traffic jam.

It was great to stay at Shanghai Mansion, they have free Tuk Tuk which can bring you free to Grand Palace & MBK. A very unique hotel, feel like going back to Shanghai in year of 1900,two thumbs up for the design. The minus point is only the friendliness of receptionist, hope they can improve in the future. Price was also very reasonable and a lot of good food at nighttime.

The staff was just great and the manager really made us feel like special. Really loved the rooms and the hall. It's like being in the movie "In the mood for love" by Wong Kar Wai.

This Hotel is a wonderful beautiful pearl in swamp vicinity. Sorry for such a comparison but China town is a real mess and dirty place. We chose this hotel because great reviews and location (very center of Bangkok, Grand Palace, ~3km to MBK - Huge 6 story Shopping Center). Shanghai Mansion has great and friendly staff. On arrival we were offered to sit and served with tea while all papers were done by Receptionist. Initially we had problems with Security Safe in our room and the Hotel offered us to change the room. It was very kind. The day we checked-out we took a Tour to Floating market – we were allowed to late check-out upon arrival (~13:30). Great Thanks to Ms. Patty (Assistant) - excellent English, very pretty, extremely helpful! Rooms' design is awesome; it is so ancient and modern at the same time! Corridors are with Chinese paintings and lanterns, very quiet and cozy. Free internet (Wi-Fi on every floor). Food was variable, good and diverse however too much Chinese (especially sauces). + Quiet, beautiful, cozy, great service, center of Bangkok - China town (too wicked for me...) Highly recommended

the decor was great,staff very good ,i would here again

Room is not very big, but I love the decoration of the whole hotel,beautiful furnishings!Breakfast should have more variety. The room is very noisy at night and I can always hear the tap water running down the drain etc..it really freak me out at night. But overall a nice experience and I will go back again.

This hotel is a non-smoking facility. However, they were kind enough to give us a room where we were allowed to smoke. Because the room was a bit cramped for two smokers, and no windows, we did not want to smoke in the room with its beautiful furnishings and out of respect for Management. We decided to book into another hotel. As our room was paid for the Hotel management was kind enough to let a friend of ours stay in our room for the 4 nights we were booked there.This hotel is a small boutique hotel and extremely well kept and clean. The staff were amazing. Friendly and respectful in every way.

Very stylish hotel, with lots of lanterns and laquer surfacing everywhere. Staff very friendly and helpful. Only shortcoming is that the room service does not provide food.

right on the edge of Chinatown, 5 minute walk to Train Station, 10 minute walk to Water Taxi. Nice room, good size, well maintained. Didn't use any hotel facilities except breakfast, which was pretty good.

Nice Chinese tradional style hotel, very impressive!!! Rooms are clean and big, also very special. Even is not very close to the BTS, but it just take 5-7mins walk to there. But u can taste the great food when u just step out the hotel.... very convenient

Clean and comfortable, staff very friendly. Good location in China Town.

Very hip and funky hotel. Love the furnishings. Clever and colorful design throughout the hotel. Clean and new, too (in an old building). Friendly staff, although not great with English. This is a real bargain for Bangkok. Of course, you're staying in China Town, which is not the most convenient place. You can make that work, however, by taking a taxi or tuk-tuk to the river and using the river bus to get to temples. Also, I think there is now a subway stop near the entrance of China Town. Still, the great rate is because you're sacrificing convenient location. At rush hour, we actually had two different taxi drivers refuse to take us to our hotel because it was too difficult to get there. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our stay. It's a charming place. Oh, and the spa in the same building is very good. I had a great foot massage that included a ginger-scented foot soak. (FYI, you need to walk up a flight of stairs to get to lobby level, which might be a drawback for some.)

Warm and friendly staff, centrally located in downtown China Town. Our favourite eating place was T&K seafood just up the road on the street corner. This outdoor footpath restaurant has the most stunning array of seafood cuisine we have ever tasted as well as being the regional restaurant seafood supplier. Still missing the quality of food now we are home.
