I had a fantastic stay at Shanghai Mansion Bangkok, which beautifully captures the essence of 1930s Shanghai right in vibrant Chinatown. The rooms were spacious and exquisitely decorated, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere. While there were a couple of minor issues—like the absence of windows and slightly cold minibar—I still thoroughly enjoyed my experience, especially the lively bar and attentive staff who made me feel at home.

My stay at Shanghai Mansion Bangkok was quite the experience! The stunning 1930s Shanghai aesthetic really sucked me in, and I loved the unique vibe of the place. The location in Chinatown was vibrant, but I wouldn't want to base my entire trip here since it can feel a bit hectic. While the breakfast was impressive, I did feel like it lacked some variety. Overall, I had a wonderful time and would give it an 8/10.

Being smack in the middle of Chinatown was a thrill, with street food galore right outside the door. It’s exciting but maybe not ideal for a longer visit, as it can get noisy and crowded.
