Rooms very small, toilet and shower one in the same. Location was exactly where i wanted to be, near Royal Palace, Temple, museum, subway entrance and river taxi,flower markets and massage within 400m. Staff was incredible, they are so friendly and went out of their way to help. Highly recommend.
This has to be the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at by far! From the views, the cleanliness of the hotel including the room, the staff was phenomenal and the location was perfect for eating at Michelin star restaurants right across from the hotel. This is the perfect place for a romantic getaway!! I WILL be returning again!!

Wonderful hotel in a perfect location for touring the most iconic sights in Bangkok. Staff was wonderful too!
The front desk personnel were excellent, friendly, attentive and accommodating. Nina and Pink provided great service and very pleasant to deal with. Other staff members were very good and helpful. We loved the decor and have an amazing dinner on the rooftop with the view of the Wat Arun. The Thai fusion dishes were superb.
An outstanding staff, very helpful and friendly. It was a great experience to stay there.

Stunning views, the location couldn't be better for a first time visitor. The staff were exceptional with their service. Roof top patio at night gives you perfect views of all 3 temples in the area. Pier in front of hotel makes it support simple to get across to Wat Arun. Very safe and walkable area.
Staff was pleasant. Excellent actually. View from the Jacuzzi suite 403 was incredible. Watching the lighted barges go up and down the river with illuminated Wat Arun in the background all from the jacuzzi was incredible. Comfortable bed. Came in a taxi so unsure about parking. But food at rooftop place was excellent Asian Fusion. Great Somtam as you walk out and take a left at the 7/11. Excellent location to sites. Wat Po. Grand Palace. Wat Arun. Will stay again.
Great stay, the staff are so welcoming especially the person who checked us in and they also gave us a customized thank you postcard. We will definitely come back again. The hotel is just next to riva arun pier to go to wat pho pier for cheap and nice view. It's situated in the old part of bangkok in which I really like and they are next to two michelin restaurant in which you definitely need to try. By night you will see the wat pho lighted
One of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. Rooms were very clean, pretty, and functional. Service was top-notch - better than I've had at the Ritz Carlton Hong Kong, various other 5 star hotels, etc. Extremely generous and kind staff.
All of the food we had was fabulous and on Halloween the staff provided really cute drinks and desserts with the Halloween theme. At the end of the trip they gave each of us a hand drawn, thank you card that was priceless. The staff was invaluable during the entire trip And we really appreciate everything they did for us.
Beautiful views of the river, the hotel was so clean and the staff were super nice and friendly and welcoming!! The breakfast on the roof top was excellent and the staff was super helpful!! Had a wonderful time and hope to visit w!!
The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The staff was absolutely amazing. What a beautiful initial greeting from the staff. Hotel was close to everything. Very walkable
The hotel was amazing, very friendly staff who helped in anyway they could. Excellent location for visiting the major tourist attractions and trips up and down the river
This charming boutique hotel has a dramatic view of Wat Arun and The Chao Praya River. Located in Tha Tien and close to the Flower Market and Wat Po, ferries, subway, and taxis of all types are also convenient. Attentive staff made this stay a pleasure. Roof top bar should not be missed. We look forward to returning.
