Great location near Wat Pho, beside river
Pros:

Amazing location with river view from breakfast room and good breakfast included. Ideal location for major sights - Royal Palace and Wat Pho. About 10 mins walk from Sanam Chai metro station.
Near pier for river trips (bit tricky to find though)

Cons:

Fairly steep stairs to our room on 3rd floor.
Would not suit those with walking difficulties.

Pros:

Location was amazing for all the tourist top spots like the Grand Palace and Wat Arun. The view from the bar and restaurant was breathtaking. And while the view from the room wasnt of Wat Arun, we still got some view of Wat Pho. The whole place was decorated beautifully with an old traditional vibe.

Cons:

Wish there were more hangers in the bathroom. The room could use a bit more light.

最高のロケーションでした！
Pros:

目の前にワットアルン。ライトアップされたワットアルンをお部屋からずっと眺めていました。エレベーター無くて心配でしたが、スタッフの方が快く運んでくれました！

Cons:

エレベーターあれば良かったですが、古い建物で仕方ないですね。

Pros:

엘리베이터가 없는 대신 짐을 옮겨주는 서비스가 있어서 큰 도움이 되었다.
위치가 좋았고 뷰가 좋았으며 호텔 디자인과 장식이 분위기가 좋았다. 어메니티가 완벽하게 준비되어 있었다.
루프탑에서 웰컴 드링크를 언제든지 쓸 수 있어서 일부러 손님이 적은 마치기 전 시간에 밤늦게 올라갔었는데
직원들이 친절하게 잘 대해주어서 좋았다.
아침 조식도 마찬가지로 맛도 있고 친절하고 뷰도 좋아서. 이 호텔에서 1층, 객실, 루프탑에서 왓아룬을 하루 종일 즐길 수 있어서 정말 행복했다.

Cons:

건물 자체가 오래 되서 창문이 노후화되어 있었지만(힘이 약한 여자가 열려고 시도했는데도 불구하고 열려고 하자 부러짐)
호텔에서 이를 잘 처리해주었다.

Overall stay was pleasant, a bit run down and expensive but the view makes up for it.
Pros:

Location was perfect, right in front of Wat Arun with beautiful views especially at night when the lights of the temple are on.

Cons:

Hotel had lots of character being converted from an old riverfront building but is a bit run down from wear and tear. Maybe time for a renovation.

Price of food and drinks are expensive, but you’re paying for the great view so it’s understandable.

Pretty good.
Cons:

No fire escape, dangerous stairs to rooftop.
A broken toilet with effluent showring onto stairs did not help.

I wouldn’t stay here again if it was
Cons:

With only nine rooms, I can’t blame the hotel for capitalising on the 100 or so people who turn up every night for a view of Wat Arun at sunset. However, they should treat residents with a bit more respect when it comes to seat allocation. Also, I’ve had a cheaper beer in some of Bangkok’s finest hotels.

Different, but worth it.
Pros:

Despite an off-putting entrance, this hotel exceeded our expectations. It's not luxury, but it's very authentic. We had a room facing the extraordinary Wat Arun, and we could witness a fabulous sunset. We were right across the road from the Wat Pho, a short walk to the Grand Palace, and very near the MTR and also the river boat piers. We took a 1 hour ride on a long boat through the canal system, which was very "interesting" and a huge contrast to the magnificent temples. Breakfast was excellent and the Rooftop Bar is also well worth visiting and watching the very busy river traffic.

Cons:

As mentioned above the roadway (laneway) down to the hotel entrance is off putting, not helped by a water overflow the day we were there. We could have turned around, but glad that we didn't.

Pros:

早上可以在湄南河边享用早餐，早餐非常美味。
傍晚可以在5楼酒吧享受郑王庙的晚霞，夜色降临之后，顶楼酒吧可以同时观看卧佛寺的夜景和郑王庙的夜景。
隔音不错，没有被吵到

Cons:

没有电梯，房间比较小，4楼没有阳台

Pros:

Affacciato sul fiume Chao Phraya, proprio di fronte al Wat Arun, l’hotel gode di una vista privilegiata e meravigliosa. Ideale per chi cerca un’immersione nel vivace quartiere di Rattanakosin (città vecchia di Bangkok). Consigliata una sosta sulla terrazza (bar) all’ora del tramonto.
