The Bar/Lounge at Shanghai Mansion Bangkok

"There’s barely any daylight in the hotel (only the noisy street-front suites have windows and views) but standard rooms are cosily isolated from the Chinatown frenzy and all have air-con, TV and free wi-fi"

"Amenities include free daily mini-bar, wireless internet, luxurious bath amenities, and tea and coffee makers"

"The location in bustling Chinatown is ideal for those who want to experience Bangkok's famous street food, and there's a quality restaurant on-site as well as a swanky lounge for drinks and jazz"

"Mei Hua rooms are spacious at the bottom of the rate card, but better to book one of the larger Ying Hua or Mu Dan rooms with DVD players and minibars; a few afford small terraces"
