Guest Reviews
- Alexander (10/5): Best view in Bangkok - This boutique hotel is such a great hidden gem. From the location to the staff, I highly recommend. Best view in Bangkok by far!!!! Walkable distance to Khao San road and 5 min walk to hop on hop off boat taxi. Our check in was so smooth and we were treated very well. We will definitely be back when we return to Bangkok.
- kendra (10/5): - We felt so lucky to stay at this boutique hotel right on the River directly across from Temple Arun. The room was perfect and the staff was so wonderful and helpful. I cannot speak highly enough of this hotel. We loved it!
- Alistair (10/5): - Very well located to see the major temples. Staff very attentive and helpful.
- David (10/5): - Above and beyond service, excellent location. Great view.
- david (10/5): - La vue est extraordinaire si etage 3 et 4 face au wat Arun. Le quartier est super. Staff supet setviable
- YeonJoo (8/5): - 새벽사원 뷰 아주 확실합니다. 아무 일정없이 창가만 바라보고 있어도 좋아요. 호텔이 일반 호텔이 아니라 우리나라 관광지 많은 펜션들처럼 1층이랑 루프탑은 식사랑 바이고 2-4층만 숙박시설 이예요. 직원들 너무 친절하고 항상 웃어주세요. 조식도 새벽 체크아웃이면 투고로 포장도 해줘요. 새벽 4시 체크아웃인데 알람도 해주고 택시도 불러주더라구요. 엘베없고 호텔 앞까지 택시를 부르거나 타고 올 수 없으니 참고하세요. 모기약이랑 훈증기 필수!! 물가 옆이니 아무리 새벽사원 뷰라도 창문 열기를 조심하세요. 저희는 결국 둘째날 편의점에서 훈증기 사다 꼽았어요. 왓포, 왓아룬 가깝고 주변 다 번화가라 좋아요. 편의점, ATM기,마사지샵 모두 가끼워요.
- Jorge (10/5): Nice place to experienced the thai culture - I only stayed here one night but ever since I arrived Nu was very attempted and explain to us all about the hotel I made reservation for the roof top bar and we had a blast of the time with the personnel Min was also very attempted as well thanks for the all experience
- SEOLYOON (10/5): 완벽해요 - 창 밖으로 보이는 왓아룬 뷰만으로 묵을 가치가 있는 호텔이에요 시간에 따라 달라지는 뷰가 너무너무 매력적이에요 직원 분들도 친절하고 조식도 맛있어요 사람이 탈 수 있는 엘베가 없어서 계단을 이용해야하지만 그것마저도 감성적이에요
- Rukshan (6/5): - Views are amazing from the room.
Great location, although it’s a little hard to hail a taxi from the place due to the attractions around it.
A little run down and could do with some renovation to the place
- Lakhvir (10/5): Awesome Hotel - Great experience and best view. Staf super nice and helpful. :)
Also packed our breakfast and gave to us night before as our flight was leaving super early in the morning. :)
- Leslie (10/5): - Great location, with the best view of Wat ARUN across the river. Staff were all nice and accommodating. Breakfast was good, with Amercian/European and Asian dishes. You can walk to lots of great sites. When getting a taxi from the airport, tell the driver it is across the street from Wat Phra. Ours got hopelessly confused for some reason. Our friend who stayed in a nearby hotel had the same issue. Maybe most tourists stay downtown? The old town area is best, though. Much less driving around!
- Ana (10/5): - Convenient area. Great breakfast. Helpful staff.
- Kazuhiko (10/5): - 部屋から、ずっとワットアルンが眺められる素晴らしいお部屋に感激しました。
ワットポーに歩いても、近いので観光にも便利です。
また利用したいホテルです。
- Hyunsoon (10/5): - 왓아룬 뷰가 정면에서 제일 잘보이는 숙소 입니다. 직원분들 모두 친절하시고 뷰가 환상적이었어요. 조식도 맛있어요!
- Minyeong (8/5): - 이쁘긴한데 밑에 철조망이 너무 아쉽고 주변에 할게 없어요 전날에 조식 미리 신청했는데 다 안주고 몇가지만 주더라구요..
- HITOMI (10/5): - 部屋からの眺望が最高でした。
スタッフも親切で朝食も美味しかったです。
次に訪れたときもぜひ利用したいホテルです。
- Alejandra (10/5): - They have an amazing staff, the breakfast was delicious, the view from our room was breathtaking infront of Wat Arun, the room was spacious and elegant. Walking distance to the temples, many options for food and shopping nearby. We really enjoy our time in Arun Riverside, made our trip to Bangkok more memorable.
- Anabelle (10/5): - Super easy access to all the tourist attractions. And the staff soo friendly and very helpful. I would love to come back in same hotel.
- suho (10/5): - 모든 직원분들이 친절했고 세심했으며 조식도 만족스러웠습니다. 최고의 왓아룬 뷰입니다.
- Koki (8/5): - 景色のための宿泊向け
価格が高い
- Gerhard (8/5): - Great location with amazing river view and in walking distance to the temples.
Most importantly you feel at home - the staff (shoutout to Anuwat!) is very nice and accommodating.
Great roofdeck with river view (closes at 10pm to avoid noise for hotel guests). Very nice, relaxing place in this bustling city!
- Euncho (6/5): - 오로지 야경만을 위한 숙소
여러가지로 서비스면에서 부족
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Staff was very friendly and helpful. Food in hotel was excellent. Can’t beat the view of Wat Arun from our room. Very convenient to the palace and temples. Visit in morning and back to hotel to escape the heat and then out again in late afternoon. Would definitely stay again.
- Yasuhiro (10/5): - The rooms, the rooftop restaurant, and the hospitality are great.
- Eiko (10/5): - 部屋から見るワットアルンは大迫力でした。
充電器を無くして、代わりに買いに行ってくださったり、グラブのタクシーがなかなか見つからず困っていた時最後まで助けてくださったり、スタッフがとても親切で感じ良かったです。
- Yutaka (10/5): - ロケーションやスタッフの対応がとても良かったです。
ハネムーンだったのですが、ホテルの屋上レストランでディナーをした際、お祝いのケーキを頂きました。
とても満足でした。
- Krystal (4/5): What a dump! - Absolutely overpriced. At £120 a night id expect more. Firstly I booked and seconds later received an email from the hotel saying they’re would be construction noise all day, and sorry for the late notice but they “just found out”. Absolute rubbish. I tried to cancel and they said it’s not their fault, and they made it known to hotels & it’s their fault it wasn’t listed in the advert. Hotels said they couldn’t cancel because of a ‘fault’ and suggested I call at 4 am when I landed in Bangkok to resolve- ridiculous! The hotel are money grabbers obviously.
It’s down a horrible dirty street, when I arrived in the early hours the receptionist was snoring on a chair. The ‘lobby’ was a tip- stuff everywhere, drinks on the desk, just a mess.no lift, only a dumb waiter for the bags. One male member of staff was friendly, the other woman didn’t bother to look up from her phone when I said hello to check out. The reception desk was so messy it looked like a teenager bedroom. The room was just ok- tired in parts. View of a temple across the way but like a building site surrounding. When I left a woman was sat on the floor wirh RAW bags of chicken, sorting though food?they seem to use the Lobby for whatever they want, it absolutely smelled horrible too. Only good thing was 5 min walk from buddah. Can get much nicer hotels in the area for the same £.
- Julia (10/5): Rooms with great views - Great location for visiting the main sights - not as big a hotel as we thought but that wasn't a problem. Staff were friendly and helpful, breakfasts simple but tasty and the rooftop bar and restaurant were great.
- Brandon (8/5): - Room is clean but dated. Thai style hotel with friendly service but in need of some minor repairs. You’re definitely paying a premium for the view of the temple across the river.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing view and location!! - This hotel has an Amazing Wat arun view from room and roof top restaurant & Bar.It is fantastic!!
Hotel staff also very polite,great service.We had really great time.I bet that I willl stay again.Highly recommend hotel on riverside.
- Lauren (10/5): Definitely worth a night! - My stay was amazing! I loved the food, especially at lunch and the view was superb. Just a couple tips:
1. The hotel did not supply a toothbrush/toothpaste or lotion. Bring them yourself!
2. If you plan to be staying at the hotel a lot during the day, make sure you ask not to be on the 4th floor. The restaurant/bar was right above me and I could often hear the noise of setting up. I was gone for most of the day so this didn’t bother me at all.
3. No elevator! Like most boutique hotels, there is only a lift for luggage. Be prepared to walk.
Overall, I had a wonderful time. Service was amazing and the food was delicious. Highly recommended.
- Valaiphorn (10/5): - Splendid room with Wat Arun view. Chaopraya River Room is highly recommended. Great service from attentive staff. A very best staycation place in Bangkok.
- Kanokwan (10/5): - View from room is fantastic, I can see wat Arun from balcony of my room
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Amaizing Wat Arun view from room. Hotel is clean. Good staffs and hospitality.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Everything was comfortable. Nice view, location, clean room and friendly staff. I recommend this hotel to my friends.
- Anna (10/5): - I brought my mom and dad an executive studio for their vacation. They love the "million dollar view" right across from Wat Arun. Customer service is superb for breakfast as well as house cleaning. Within walking distance to multiple famous temples in Bangkok is a plus! Book here you won't be disappointed. The only downside is limited parking. If you bring a car, please call hotel staff in advance for parking accommodation.
- Verified traveler (8/5): 眺め最高! - ワットアルンが真正面から見えます。
- JIMLIM (8/5): - We stayed here during very low seasons at a deep discounted price. The location is great. It is right on the river front.
- Mark (10/5): - Hotel not only meets, but exceeds expectations
- Verified traveler (8/5): Perfect wat Arun view - The hotel staff members are very friendly and helpful. I had a nice time there. The view from the 3rd floor was superb. You can enjoy the view of wat Arun and the river.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Wow, if you're after a hotel with a view, this is the place. The view from our room on the second floor was as you can see in the images published. We were shocked at the amazing view when we were shown to our room, and I can imagine the views from the higher up rooms are even more stunning.
This hotel is a 1 minute walk from the The Grand Palace and the shortest possible ferry ride in Bangkok to Wat Arun. For sightseeing the location is second to none.
The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we were well looked after. Arranging taxis for us and even carrying our bags to the end of the street to the taxi when we were departing.
The hotel bar has incredible views of Wat Arun, and also of the Grand Palace. Drinks and food were both very good, and at a reasonable rate, considering the location.
Rooms were comfy, modern and clean. Beds slightly hard, but I wouldn't let that put you off. I would highly recommend and definitely stay again.
- T&D (10/5): - Room was clean and spacious. It had everything we needed. The highlight was the wonderful view across the river to Wat Arun. Staff were exceptional during the entire time from early check in to very early check out. Always professional and pleasant and very, very helpful.
- Mark (8/5): - Very nicely maintained, small hotel in palace area. Nice breakfast and a beautiful dinner terrace overlooking the river with great views.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Location! One major historic temple across the street and the largest historic temple within a 20 minute walk. Several good restaurants a short walk away.
Located on Chao Prayo river, visible from upper floors, with a 24/7 parade of commerce and tourism.
It’s a very small, pleasant hotel on five floors without an elevator.
- Nichaya (10/5): - Book the suite and you will not regret it. Full exquitsite view of Wat Arun pagoda. Room is clean and new. Delicious food.
- Alun (10/5): - Room was clean and comfortable with a good river view from the balcony. Roof top bar/restaurant was excellent for service and food/drink. It was also where we met up with our son who lives in Asia - spectacular view and a treasured memory.
- Emily (10/5): - Impressed with the quality of the hotel - felt very new. It is centrally located to a lot of the tourist sites (Grand Palace and Wat Pho), so it was easy for us to walk. Great breakfast spread.
- ChicagoTraveler (10/5): - The hotel room was amazing. We had to walk up quite a few stairs to get there but it was worth it. The shower was SPECTACULAR. Everything was nice, clean, and well done. The surrounding area was not as nice, you had to turn down an alley to get to the door. But once inside, the location didn't even matter. The Riverview was amazing as well. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Well worth it. I'd absolutely stay here again.
- LynneH (10/5): - Great location, very helpful staff, nice breakfast, newly decorated modern room, good shower, lovely view of Wat Arun and the river, nice roof top bar and restaurant (although a little pricey).
- Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing View! - Our stay here was amazing. Jet lag had us up in the middle of the night and the view of Wat Arun was incredible. Highly recommend being up late or early enough to see the temple lit up with no boat traffic on the river.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Don’t have enough time to read my review? Here is a summary: Book the executive studio suite with a river view and balcony you won’t regret it! Zoom, Kathy, Maew, and the rest of the staff are phenomenal.
Communication before arrival: The front desk of the hotel closes at 10:00 pm and our plane was scheduled to land at 9:30. When I emailed the hotel, I received a prompt response that someone would wait at the hotel until we arrived.
Late Arrival: We arrived around 11pm and as promised, several employees were waiting and they met us with positive energy/ genuine interest in making our stay a memorable one.
State of the room and view: EXACTLY as advertised.
Breakfast: Every night we put our breakfast order in and let the staff know what time we anticipated eating. There are several options - our favorite was the pancakes, bananas, and bacon. The cook, Maew, did such an excellent job that my mom thanked him in person, twice! In addition to the made-to-order items, there are staples (i.e. cereal, milk, assorted fruit, toast, and bottled water).
Hospitality: Everyone, including Zoom and Kathy, went the extra mile to make sure our stay was pleasant.
Location: Near Wat Arun and the Grand Palace. There are also taxis and tuk tuks nearby in case the Grab app isn’t working.
Vibe: Young hotel (at the time about a month old) primed and ready to make a splash on the river front.
Thank you to the Arun Riverside staff for making our first stop in Thailand a memorable one!!
