Perfect start to our holiday
Pros:

The staff were AMAZING !! Can’t remember all their names but the lady who welcomed us and dealt with my mini tantrum when I realised I’d booked a hotel without a swimming pool (🙄) to the reception staff, roof top staff etc . Location is perfect . Dozens of coffee shops/restaurants on doorstep and minutes away from pier where you can book river trips . Room was exceptionally comfortable and well thought out making use of the space to include everything you need . LOVED this hotel !!!!

Cons:

Loved everything

Emplacement magnifique
Pros:

L’emplacement vraiment parfait, juste à coté du Wat Pho, du grand palais et de l’embarcadère pour la traversée du fleuve, la vue sur le temple est tout simplement magnifique…les employés vraiment aux petits soins ( pink au top🙏).

Cons:

Rien rien en particulier mais mérite un bon rafraîchissement et un entretien des équipement.
Et déçu du restaurant de l’hôtel, un peu cher pour la prestation…

Great boutique hotel experience.
Pros:

This was the first hotel we stayed at on our first trip to Thailand. The location was great. We could easily visit the different sights, hop on a river boat or metro, and quickly go to the different areas of the city.
For breakfast the terrace restaurant served a great breakfast at a very fair price then, at dinner, there was a spectacular view of Wat Arun with all the lights and the food was truly delicious. — large portions at a very fair price.
Now let’s talk about the bed - it was soooo comfortable!!! Lots of great pillows and sheets were high quality. We had a room with a view of the river and also Wat Arun. We were worried it would be loud at night but everything died down by 22:00 and we slept like babies!
The staff, especially Pink, were the best ever!! They were authentic and genuinely cared that their guests were well taken care of. They arranged for a driver to take us to Ayutthaya and answered any and all questions we had in a refreshingly helpful way.
We felt well-cared for and our stay was memorable. We’d recommend our friends to stay there and, next time we come to Bangkok, we’ll be sure to stay there, too.

Cons:

NA
