Doskonała lokalizacja. Czystość obiektu i jakość na pewno nie na 5 gwiazdek. Mimo to polecam.
Pros:

Świetna lokalizacja. Blisko Pałacu i kilku świątyń. Niedaleko metro, i przystań tramwaju wodnego. W zasięgu spaceru targ kwiatowy i w zasadzie dzielnica chińska. Doskonałe miejsce do wypadów na miasto. Miejsce jest ukrytą oazą zieleni w środku miasta. Ciekawe również historycznie. Stosunkowo wysoka cena - prawdopodobnie za zieleń i położenie.

Cons:

Mogło by być czyściej w ogólnie dostępnych miejscach i recepcji co nie do końca koresponduje z ceną. Trochę zuzyte tarasy i meble ogrodowe. Nie w pełni dostępna dla gości hotelowych znajdująca się na terenie restauracja. W dniu przyjazdu posadzono nas na dostawionych dwóch krzesełkach i zamiast stołu taboret :) Miły gest ale trochę dziwnie jak na 5 gwiazdkowy obiekt.

An oasis of calm in the centre of Bangkok
Pros:

The location is superb. Dining on the terrace by the river was one of the many highlights. All the staff were friendly, efficient and nothing was too much for them. We had to leave very early for our flight so they provided us with a beautifully prepared picnic breakfast. Above and beyond !

Cons:

Nothing

Worth it for the pool alone!
Pros:

It’s a beautiful place, lovely grounds and fantastic swimming pool. Breakfast on the terrace was lovely and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The Thai suite we stayed in was very dark inside, the bathroom was in need of updating as the sink and bath were cracked which made it feel grubby, the bath is the biggest bath I’ve ever seen! We both thought it was lovely but a bit overpriced and possibly not five stars.

Feeling a king in Bangkok @ Chakrabongse villas
Pros:

This was one of my best hotel experiences ever!

The hotel is an oasis amidst the very vibrant city of Bangkok. The hotel staff is really exceptional. Be it the receptionist, the hotel manager or the chef (who worked for 15 years Lyon, the food capital of France).

The breakfast/restaurant area has direct river acces and staggering view on the Wat Arun temple.
The garden is magnificent and there is a decent size pool with facilities (bathroom/drinks by bell). The rooms are very cosy and typical.

The manager was especially helpful, as I had a problem with the rental car after my stay, I called him and he translated everything into Thai, so that my new hosts could send someone to install a new battery in notime.

Cons:

Everything was perfect.

You should be aware though that this part of Bangkok is dead in the evening. It is very secure, because all main temples are located there. Chinatown is on close walking distance.

Would return in a heartbeat
Pros:

Everything! The best city hotel I’ve ever stayed in, a true oasis of calm. We could have watched the boats go past all day and all evening, only the beautiful wats and palace are too close to ignore. We loved our breakfasts and the dinner outside on the verandah, and the pool was a joy to swim in. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. our Moroccan corner room was also lovely

Cons:

Nothing at all

Reccomend - like staying with generous friends who just happen to live by the river in Bangkok
Pros:

We stayed at Chakrabongse Villas for 9 nights in total. A small hotel with heart & soul, a local icon with royal family history. Situated on the Chao Phraya river across from Wat Arun, with tropical garden landscaping to provide anchoring calm. Well managed and quietly buzzing with guests yet we had the swimming pool to ourselves most afternoons to cool down in and recieved a free room upgrade to the Garden room. An atmosphere of effortless charm with great aircon and stunning river views. Excellent staff, kind, helpful and well organised. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you to hotel manager Ohm for a memorable stay.

Cons:

The beds were ok but could be better, more comfortable.

Heavenly oasis in busy Bangkok
Pros:

Stunning oasis in Bangkok. Brilliant location near the main attractions and close to both a boat pier and metro station.
It was heavily to come back to a dip in the pool after a busy and warm day.
The staff were so delightful.
It is pricey but well worth it.

Cons:

Nothing really

Historische Anlage am Fluss mit Blick auf Wat Arun in direkter Nähe des Palast und Tempelbezirks
Pros:

Es handelt sich um eine einzigartige historische Anlage, die einst von einem Prinzen als Gästehaus errichtet wurde. Das grosse Apartment mit Poolview, in dem wir untergebracht waren ist in traditioneller thailändischer Holzbauweise sehr grosszügig ausgeführt und hat eine eigene Terrasse mit sehr schönen Liegen. Die wenigen Gebäude und Zimmer sind in einem Garten am Fluss untergebracht, der in der umtriebigen Altstadt, die den Tempeln und dem Palast sehr nah ist, wie eine Oase wirkt. Auf der Terrasse am Fluss wird mit Blick auf den Tempel der Morgenröte gefrühstückt. Das Frühstück ist sehr lecker. Ebenso gibt es da auf Wunsch ein hervorragendes Menü als Dinner. Da das Hotel sehr klein ist hat man den Pool in der Regel fast für sich. Vom Strassenverkehr hört man in der Anlage wenig, dafür herrscht auf dem Fluss ein reges Treiben, was uns aber nicht gestört hat und durch die Lage und Authentizität des Anwesens mehr als aufgewogen wurde.

Najlepsze miejsce w Bangkoku. Unikatowy klimat.
Pros:

Najlepsze miejsce na relaks i zwiedzanie Bangkoku. Piękna rezydencja schowana w zielonym ogrodzie nad brzegiem rzeki. Miejsce jak z bajki. Pełna egzotyka i klimat Azji. Bez wątpienia jest to miejsce do którego wrócimy przy kolejnym pobycie w Bangkoku.
