Great location, room too small

First of all, the location can’t be beat. The rooms are clean and bed was comfy. There is just no space for luggage. No luggage rack. Feng shui of rooms is terrible. We had to get creative to access our clothing. Other than that, we really liked it.

Amazing!!! The staff is fantastic! Welcoming and helpful on every level. Our room was originally on the floor-level with the rooftop restaurant across the little road. Uncomfortable for us if we had the curtains open to see the view Wat Arun. When I called the desk and asked if we could be moved they said while they were full that night if we packed our bags and left them in the room when we went out the next day they would move us as we were there 4 nights. Smooth as clockwork. Definitely recommend a stay

Happy with our choice in Bangkok

Fantastic location. We really enjoyed the view of the river and Wat Arun from our room. Beautiful at night. Breakfast at the rooftop restaurant was very good. Found the lighting controls for the room quite unusual. The room is quite small, hardly could walk around the bed. The bathroom area is very large. Wonderful staff, enjoyed our stay.

The hotel is amazing value for the location, within walking distance of Wat Pho, the Grand Palace and the Rainer Chao Praya River Express boat stop. Their staff are welcoming, friendly, and went the extra mile in serving us, starting with a slice of cake to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The view at night from the rooftop restaurant over the river of Wat Arun, Wat Pho and the Grand Palace are astounding! We had a Deluxe river-facing room on the 3rd floor with a great view of Wat Arun. The restaurants below close at 10pm so we had peaceful nights sleep. The food was really good, equivalent in taste to the Michelin star restaurant opposite ( Rongros). A fantastic experience all round!
