to get started.

We used live by the river nearby and decided to take a little nostalgic break. We were not disappointed and the even though the location and facilities are near perfection it is really the staff at every level that made the difference.

Great staff, perfect breakfast, nice clean and comfortable rooms with beautiful view to the river. Convenient location. Overall nothing to complain I can only recommend this property.

This hotel is a little gem; a peaceful, well-run oasis to come back to after the wonderfully chaotic and colorful feast for the senses that is Bangkok. Located right on the Chao Phraya river where all the main attractions are located, one can purchase an all day pass for under $7 USD and spend the day visiting the main attractions via the river taxi with Pier 13 located under 100 meters' walk from the bar of the hotel. The rooms were extremely comfortable and tastefully appointed in a monochromatic decor. The front desk was run very well, day excursions and general questions were answered quickly and fully. The pool area, the bar and the restaurant were well run and when I was too tired to go out for street food their menu satisfied nicely. Honestly, there isn't anything that I found fault with. Excellent place.

This is prime location for staying in Bangkok, the people at the hotel are super friendly and efficient. Due to circumstance I was there for a week and really felt comfortable from the to I’ve I walked in TIL the time I left. I did not get a room on the river but the room on the street was surprisingly quiet and cheaper than on river and I could spend as much time as I wanted in the pool/lounge area for the river views. Highly recommended.

The view of hotel is very good nearby chao praya river. But the transportation in Bangkok is bad especially the taxi. Most of the taxi driver is not good since they know we are tourist they push us to pay twice higher than the acrual tariff. Otherwise they will us to get off from their taxi

“World traveler, I notice everything. This place was a gem.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 3 nights
Really...nothing. I upgraded to the best room the hotel offered for my last night and when I go back (and I plan to) I'll stay in one of those because I found the spacious balcony with sitting area overlooking the river really added to my overall experience. That being said, the basic room that I stayed in my first two nights overlooking the street also had a smaller balcony with two sets of sliding doors that almost completely shut out any street noise. The tiny bit that did get in was so small it was not significant enough to bother me at all. This room had the same decor as the larger one and was very tastefully done and very comfortable. I just loved stepping out with a glass of wine and taking in the river and to also be able to spread out in a large room with sitting area, so for me the value up the upgrade was worth it.
This hotel is a little gem; a peaceful, well-run oasis to come back to after the wonderfully chaotic and colorful feast for the senses that is Bangkok.
