This was the second year we stayed at Chakrabongse Villas, and again it didn't disappoint. Although this year we booked (again) through a third party, the hosts knew who we were and welcomed us back when we arrived. We'd also been assigned the same room as last year, which we were very happy with. Chakrabongse Villas is a beautiful, calm oasis in the middle of the hubbub of Bangkok, but just a few steps to the main sights and ferries. A delicious breakfast is served in the morning on the terrace overlooking the Chaopraya River and Wat Arun. The pool is a perfect slice of heaven in the afternoon when the temperatures soar. Next time we return to Bangkok we will definitely stay here again (if they have availability that is: there are only a handful of rooms and you have to book early).

The place was beautiful with spectacular river view and wat arun. It's perfect. The room, the landscape and ths staff. The ambience. It made our stay very special. Loved the breakfast.

We ate dinner one evening at the hotel. The food was delicious however the price was a bit too expensive in our opinion for what we got. It was 2500 baht per person which converts to 70€. This is similar to a high quality meal in France and the products and the salaries cost significantly less in Thailand so the tourist tax is a bit too high on this one. A three course meal at the Four Seasons cost us less.

The location is ideal. In the middle of the key historic sites in Bangkok. A short walk or ferry to Wat Arun or Wat Phra or the Grand Palace. The breakfast sitting by the water looking at Wat Arun temple was an extraordinary way to start the day. Ohm, who was the person who we met and who looked after us during our stay, was wonderful. We are curious people and it was the first time here so we had many questions and he took the time to go above and beyond answering our questions. He explained local food, local traditions (we arrived during Thai new year in April). He also organized a private boat tour for us.

We loved everything

This is an absolute jewel. The villas is an oasis of calm and tranquility right next to the main attractions in Bangkok. The view on the river is magnificent. And it's all so private you tend to forget that you are in the middle of the enormous city. The staff is extremely professional and friendly, and it was our pleasure conversing with them on various topics. They not only provided excellent service but also made us feel really good. The pool was such a massive bonus at the end of a hot day! I'll give the place and people who run it only the best marks!

Lovely staff, beautiful villa and amazing location on the river opposite the Temple of Dawn.

The shower head was a little cumbersome for me to use - but I’m really grasping to think of anything I didn’t like!

Where do I start? The location, right on the river overlooking Wat Arun. The privacy, there are apparently 6 villas on the grounds - but we barely saw anyone else, we had private breakfast on the deck in the morning, the pool all to ourselves in the afternoon, watched the sun go down over the river on our own. The staff were friendly & treat us like royalty. They have the biggest catfish I’ve ever seen! It was the most expensive place we stayed in our 3 week trip - it was worth every penny!

Beautiful grounds along the river and conveniently located to see many temples and sites in downtown Bangkok

Beautiful hotel in an ideal location

Amazing oasis. We felt very safe. This is a part of the Royal Palace and this is evident in the decor and elegance of the surroundings. The street scene is vibrant and you are within walking distance of many restaurants and a lot of street food. The Palace and several temples are within a few blocks. Really a great scene.

We were only here for one night and not feeling well. The staff took excellent care of us, even made some special herbal tea (thanks once again)!

Nothing.

Beautiful setting. Luxurious and very well thought out. Everything you need is in the room. Very thoughtful staff. Location close to the reclining Buddha and the Grand Palace cannot be beat. Dinner and breakfast were picture perfect. Beautiful and tasty. Definitely a 5 star boutique hotel. Right on the river and very romantic.

We had a wonderful stay, a truly charming and calm place in busy Bangkok. Nice and clean room with a beautiful tropical garden, just by the river, and nearby Wat Pho, The Grand Palace, floral market, piers and MRT. Breakfast was delicious and such a pleasant experience while watching the river and its morning activities. The dinner there, is a must, too, it was exceeding our expectations, with the night view of Wat Arun. The service from before arrival until we left on the day was excellent. Staff are super friendly and helpful.

We loved everything: location, atmosphere, interiors and the staff, always friendly and helpful with great tips. The views are extraordinary facing the Wat Arun and the river, we spent hours just enjoying the calm and the beauty. Don't miss the amazing dinner, it's worth it. We will come back for sure!!!

It’s an oasis of calm with a regal serenity right by the river and superbly located for the old town . The staff were super helpful and considerate at all times.

Maybe a few more options for breakfast and a little more privacy in my room (the door was just next to the restaurant). But not a big deal

Breakfast and dinner on the terrace were great, service and staff are fantastic

Nothing I didn’t like

The grounds are lovely with different areas to go and lovely gardens. There’s a pond with a big koi and a big catfish. The river location is stunning like sitting at a waterfront restaurant in Venice. The staff are so sweet and helpful; nothing is too much to ask; their style is part of the charm and ambience. Tranquil and relaxed. The dinner! Omg, yuuuum! Have the vodka cucumber cocktail!

What a magic place to stay, an oasis in a crazy busy fun city. The location is perfect, we walked to the palace, the temple of the reclining Buddha and temple wan Arat is just a ferry ride away. The staff were so helpful and accomodating. Thank you Aaron and Ohm for making our stay memorable.

Couldn't fault it!

The setting is so perfect, it feels like an oasis in the middle of old Bangkok. Very quiet and exclusive feeling. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Food was also excellent.
