Best location to visit old Bangkok
Pros:

The best location in old city Bangkok, perfect for visiting the most important attractions, the Wat Phra temple and the Grand Palace being just across the street and the Arun temple across the river, at 5 minutes walk to the pier. The entire personnel acted like a small family, making our stay excellent. The room was nice, big, clean, but must of all, offering a spectacular view over the Arun temple

Home away from home, close to attractions, with amazing view!
Pros:

Everything! The staff were wonderful, helpful, and so kind. The room felt spacious for our family of 3 and was nicely decorated. The key card was really convenient for entry and to turn on the lights and AC. The hotel has a magnificent view of Wat Arun! We loved spending time on the balcony in the early morning and evening, so relaxing to watch the boats in the canal. We also enjoyed the most delicious breakfast every day. We will definitely return! 10/10

Cons:

In our personal experience and opinion, the rain shower water flow was not very even. The spray handle was excellent, but it was a bit confusing to switch between the spray hose and the rain shower.

Excellent Stay
Pros:

This hotel was the perfect location within walking distance to the Wat Arun temple and the Grand palace across the road . Shops , cafes , the minute you step outside. China town about half an hour walk , unless you get a tuk tuk or taxi. . Wonderful views from across the river. A lot of different boats going by. Received a very warm welcome and a complimentary drink and fruit. Very lovely staff. Our room was clean and cozy. Possibly a little expensive for food and drink on you the roof top bar. You do have to book a table there. .. Plenty of restaurants and a great vibe in the area. We ate elsewhere at night , once in china town at night.

Cons:

A little expensive on the roof top Bar. You can’t just go up there , we had to have a drink, even though we were staying there.. More money at the front, to look at the view, less money the further back you are. .

Traumhafter Ausblick auf Wat Arun und Chao Phraya
Pros:

Einige Zimmer, so eins hatten wir gebucht, ist direkt mit Blick auf Wat Arun und den unmittelbar davor liegenden Chao Phraya. Super Ausblick, die Schiffahrt am Fluß lässt sich gut beobachten. Am Dach des Hotels ist eine Bar & Restaurant ebenfalls mit Rundumblick. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Cons:

Schmale Treppe in die 4. Etage, Kofferlift gibt´s aber schon. Spart den Stepper im Gym.

Worst service ever. They say they have an elevator but actually they do not. And they do not cancel reservation because of their information. Avoid this hotel.
