Fantastic location close to the Grand Palace, Wat Pho and Wat Arun. The rooftop restaurant, where breakfast is also served, offers stunning views of the river, Wat Arun and Wat Pho. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Bangkok. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Bangkok!

8/10 Very good

We stayed in a studio room because this was all that was available and their sister property was all booked. The room is small, very small, but once you get everything organized it works. Beds are comfortable. We were not bothered by outside noise. Lot’s of hot water. It has cosy roof top restaurant provided breakfast, lunch and supper. Very friendly and helpful staff who speak English very well. What is most spectacular is the location. Right on the water, in walking distance to Grand Palace Wat Arun, Wat Pho, There is a hop on hop off ferry station five minutes away. It is in-expensive to buy a day pass for unlimited use. Within minutes you can be a Khao San ( street food site), Chinatown, Flower Market an an iconique shopping center if your into those.

First impressions count, the staff were exemplary. The hotel is beautifully presented and well maintained. We had a room overlooking the river and it didn't disappoint. The bedding looked brand new. If you're planning a few nights in Bangkok and fancy indulging without the expense this is the place. Fantastic location too. We will be back....

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!!
Verified review

6/10 Good

Best bit about this hotel is the location. Near to all the main attractions and the MRT. It’s fairly well kept and the staff are friendly. Rooms are very small and only just big enough to get around the bed. Nowhere to put luggage and a tiny wardrobe. We paid more for a view across the river to Wat Arun which was stunning but at first floor level we were at the same height as the restaurant opposite so we had to keep the curtains closed most of the time as there was no privacy. Biggest annoyance was the prices at the bar. 2 small beers cost over £22 (1100 bhat). That is almost 4 times what we paid anywhere else. Needless to say we never used the bar or restaurant again.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

This is a very nice and modern hotel, small and manageable and staffed by the nicest people you could imagine. The rooftop bar and restaurant are good easily accessible and we had no trouble getting tables when we wanted. The food and drinks were excellent. Our rooms were small but manageable and had very useful designs and decor. We only have two small things to suggest. First, the Internet was inconsistent and dropped us frequently. This occurred in all three of our rooms on floors two and three. Rooftop Internet seemed to be more stable. A second, there was no mirror in front of the sink, which meant I had to turn around and shave against the mirrored wall. Neither of those takes away from the fact that this is excellent value for money and is someplace we would happily occupy again.
