This hotel has the best view from our balcony and hotel rooftop. It’s within walking distance to Grand Palace, Wat Pho, flowers market, 3 minutes ferry to Wat Arun. Hotel staff are very friendly and thoughtful. The only drawback is that the room and shower is small. However I would recommend to all my friends because its location, view and friendly staff. Thanks to their excellent service, we had a wonderful time.

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.

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.

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

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.
