The location is very great. The view from some rooms of the hotel and from the restaurant is wonderful. The staff is so kind and helpful! But the curtain in the shower was stained. And at the 3rd floor, you can hear the boats on the river, even during the night! The A/c in the first room

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

This is a real gem in Bangkok, the location is just perfect, every historic site and temple is within walking distance, the roof top is very nice, with great views at day and night, a bunch of good food options around the hotel, tuk tuk service in the corner, the staff was very friendly with great attention to details
