Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is ideally located within walking distance of major temples, offering a glimpse of the river. The rooms are comfortable but lack significant views. The service is attentive and accommodating, although the alley location might not be everyone's preference. The dining experience offers a great view of the river, and the facilities are well-kept.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel with stunning views of Wat Pho. The room was cozy with a hot water bathtub offering a serene view of temples. The price was fair for the value received, making it a worthwhile stay. However, the busy location might not be for everyone.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was fantastic and the staff were friendly, there were some drawbacks like the lack of a view and a dirty curtain in my room. The dining with a view was a highlight, but the alleyway location was a bit off-putting.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The location was superb, right by the river with stunning views of Wat Arun. The room had a bathtub and an incredible view of Wat Pho, although the curtain was a bit dirty. The service was top-notch, with room service and tours/ticket assistance available. However, the alley leading to the hotel was very busy like a distribution center, which could be overwhelming. The dining experience was delightful, especially with the perfect coffee and the grilled meats. The facilities were excellent, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
I found this hotel to be a mixed experience. While the rooms were beautiful with an amazing view of Wat Pho, the lack of views from certain areas was a downside. The hot water only in the bedroom was a bit inconvenient, but overall the stay was pleasant and comfortable.
