Jenny, United States of America

It feels like a tropical vacation in the Old Town of the major city of Bangkok.

Craig, United States of America

Our room was exactly what I hoped for. It was spacious and clean and comfortable and had a lovely terraced area. The staff was extremely nice and helpful.

Linda, United States of America

The smiles and politeness of the personal, the facilities and perfect location

Andrea, Canada

Beautiful room, great view. We had a view of the bridge from our room which was lit with red white and blue and in the pattern of the thai flag. The bed was the softest of the beds we stayed on in Thailand. Staff was extremely friendly and went out of their way to help you.

Aaron, United States of America

The room was clean and spacious. We booked the room with a balcony facing Chao Praya river and it was great. The staffs were wonderful. Restaurants were 5 - 10 minutes away from the hotel. Very convenient.

Erwina, Indonesia

Location is really nice. Rooms are nice but not considering the price (very expensive). Breakfast is nice but not included. Gym and pool are very nice as well.

Ori, Israel

Location was fabulous with views over the river, easy access to river taxis and river boats. Lovely vibrant area Very very helpful staff.

Loved this hotel. A retreat right in the centre of all the hustle bustle of Bangkok. Was on my own the first few days but felt very comfortable and well looked after. Staff couldn’t have been nicer. The interior design was well thought out too. All in all much more personable than a large modern hotel.

Generally we were happy about the services provided until checking out point. We told the staff we did not take anything from the minibar. But we were told two bottles of mineral water missing from the bar. And we must pay for that! For a second we were preparing to pay, as this is really nothing. But we didn’t, as why should we pay for something we didn’t take? And this is insulting. At the end I was forced to sign a declaration and saying we didn’t take the water! We have been travelling around the world and stayed many hotels. This is first time with such terrible experience. Considering the hotel rated 4 star, the staff really need to be trained up to handle a situation like this. As a customer we would like to be valued and at least respected. Should I stocktake a minibar when checking in? I never did and will not do in the future. But not sure about this hotel.

Not sure it would have been as good without the river view.
Stayed here with my wife in January for 2 nights. 1. A fabulous river view with balcony. 2. Really liked the “small” friendly feel of the hotel compared to the large international hotels that I have stayed in on past business trips to Bangkok. 3. The staff also made the stay special - very friendly and added to the family feeling. 4. The location is SO good. On the river with a pier 100 meters away that connects you to all the sites including the Grand Palace or for canal trips. And 100 meters from the back of the hotel and you are in the cool trendy Bandalumpu area with cool bars and market stalls.....and a further 500 meters you can visit the wild Khao San Road. A great place for a few days in Bangkok.

For the price we paid I didn’t think it was good value , although the pool was nice it was a bit crowded and felt a little claustrophobic, the view from the balcony was just ok, nothing really to see, no temples just a bridge and a huge hotel opposite, service charge on already overpriced drinks by the pool.
Riverside location, nice swimming pool, room was well furnished with decent sized balcony, staff were very welcoming

The staff were fantastic, so friendly and welcoming. One evening we were unable to get a taxi to our restaurant booking and the front of house spent 20 minutes with us going through recommendations and offering to help book and advise. Some of the best hotel service I've ever experienced. Having a pool was a great bonus and location right near the river taxi was also fantastic. If you're willing to walk it's only 25/30 mins to the main temples (Wat Arun). You're further away from all the posh hotels and rooftop bars but we liked that. They're only a taxi or tuk tuk away and the hotel will help with that too.

The riverside location and the friendly staff make a stay here enjoyable, plus the comfort of a large room with a balcony. Breakfast on the terrace is memorable. This is my third stay here and I will come back next time.
