Great place to stay and two michelin restaurants just infront, the best part was the attention of the staff and that is with walking distance to every major temple. Thanks Pink for helping us during our stay :)

Spectacular property right on the Chao Praya River..Walking distance to The Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and the Flower Market diagonally across from Wat Arun..

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.
