Guest Reviews
- Keiko (10/5): - nice property and friendly staff very happy to say :)
- Peter (10/5): - Friendly helpful staff. Clean and comfortable. Excellent ambience in a unique old world hotel. Not to be missed.
- Sean (10/5): A slice of paradise tucked away - Beautiful boutique hotel tucked away in leafy green surroundings and close to the canal. Hard to believe it is in central Bangkok. Great service, great pool and a really lovely restaurant serving vegan/vegetarian food (with some meat options also!).
- Sasha (8/5): Diamond in the rough. - The place is great, the staff is amazing, the food is extraordinary especially if you are vegetarian/pescatarian/vegan, I’ve never had so many options. The spa is so amazing and relaxing, you’d never be able to tell it’s in the middle of the city. Overall it was a great experience but I wouldn’t stay longer than 5 days, it’s very expensive.
- Calvin (10/5): - The owner and staff were very accessible and friendly. Highly recommend this boutique hotel. Restaurant food was amazing.
- Yeji (10/5): - The atmosphere was so nice and pretty
- neil (10/5): Boutique hotel to stay in Bangkok - Ariyasomvilla is a special place to stay in Bangkok, an oasis in the middle of the chaos of the city. the owners are very welcoming and the food in the restaurant is very good. Rooms are comfortable and homely. The pool and garden are special and relaxing to spent time in.
- Margaret (10/5): Stylish, secluded hotel - Down a quiet alley near a very busy area, this hotel is an unexpected oasis.
- Jeanette (10/5): - We loved our stay from the relaxing Thai massage, to the saltwater pool with overhanging shade trees and lovely grounds - truly the entire experience was fantastic and calming after our very long flights.
- Ravindra (10/5): - My favourite hotel in Bangkok. I rather doubt I will ever stay anywhere else!
- Regency (10/5): - An Oasis in Bangkok, close to BTS station, excellent breakfast, lunch and dinner. Peaceful and friendly
- Andrew (10/5): - Our new go to hotel for Bangkok! An oasis of calm - beautiful building with lush garden, lovely pool, and the most friendly and welcoming people.
- Scott (10/5): A classic style boutique oasis hotel - Great boutique Thai style hotel, High ceilings and a nice intimate swimming pool. We had the Executive suite it was very nice. Breakfast was exceptional with many choices to indulge. Highly recommend.
- Kalpna (8/5): - Beautiful property but location was not convenient
- Andrew (10/5): - Wonderful hotel - loved it and can’t wait to return. Able to make breakfast items vegan very easily.
- Dora (10/5): - Wonderful oasis in the middle of a busy city. Service and food were so excellent we elected to stay in rather than go out to eat.
- Scott Mitchell (10/5): - I travelled across Southeast Asia for years before retiring and always looked forward to staying at Ariyasomvilla, a beautiful and peaceful oasis of a hotel. There are plenty of great hotels in Bangkok, but Ariyasom is my favorite. Their restaurant (Na Aroon) is excellent. If you're looking for a lovely, quiet boutique hotel in the midst of Bangkok, you've found the right place -- stop looking.
- Mark (10/5): - My favourite hotel in Bangkok. Boutique old school glamour and charm. An oasis.
- Anna (10/5): - It was absolutely a true dream. We will be staying here every time we are in Bangkok! Wonderful staff, a restaurant that has some of the best food we ate while we were there, and a relaxing pool. The room was also beautiful. Thank you for making our stay amazing!
- Carrie (10/5): - I prefer boutique hotels with tons of charm and character and the Ariyasomvilla did not disappoint. It’s a lush, green oasis in the middle of the city. I had a room on the third floor overlooking the outdoor dining area and pool, which was lovely. My room was spacious and beautifully decorated in an authentic Thai style from the past. The breakfast was delicious - they serve a fresh fruit plate, freshly squeezed orange juice, delicious coffee, and a menu that has Thai food options and western options. I had the Eggs Benedict, which was served with just eggs and it was really tasty. I also had dinner one evening in the restaurant and they had such an extensive menu that it was difficult to decide. Everything was delicious. If I ever return to Bangkok, I will definitely stay here again.
- Laura (10/5): - Wonderful stay. Cozy setting. Friendly staff. Great location. The pool was divine at the end of a hot day touring around.
- Laura (10/5): - The breakfast are outstanding. The pool divine.
- SHUN YIN (10/5): - Ariyasomvilla is a cute little hotel with traditional Thai decor. Staff are very friendly. Don’t miss out on the breakfast which is freshly made with each order. There’s a 5-10 minutes walk from the Phloen Chit BTS station to the hotel, and the street is filled with street food that hospital staff go to, giving you a chance to eat like a local!
- Ryan (10/5): Any time I'm in Bangkok. I will be staying here. - Absolutely beautiful hotel. The room cleanliness, air conditioning, pool, and staff were all top notch. The breakfast was delicious and came with good coffee, fresh fruit, and included both traditional Thai and more European/American styles. Got a traditional Thai massage at the attached spa which was performed on a roof deck surrounded by a gorgeous jungle of plants. Location of the hotel was also pretty good with a 10-15 minute walk to the nearest sky train and easy access to the highway on a taxi!
- G (10/5): best-of-the-best - totally amazing hotel, and oasis of green and traditional architecture, located in the heart of bangkok, just off the flyway coming in from the airport, and at walking distance of phloen chit BTS station. fantastic staff, great family room (double-decker en-suite everything), great swimming pool, great breakfast, great food, great family vibes, and the opposute of the international anonymous and aseptic type... sorry, running out of superlatives, AND all superlatives are amply deserved!
- sunny (4/5): - Cute pretty little hotel with nice landscapes. Dining room was fine and free breakfast was served at the table, not as buffet. Very unsafe to move around with little steps and uneven surfaces. At night, completely dark in yard with no guiding lights. I fell flat while dragging luggages at 5am for taxi. In the public rest room, only two cloth towels to dry hand. Room was outdated, though roomy. Too many switches to figure out which for which light fixtures. A/C and fan were barely working. Shower head was hanging loose on the pole.
- Garry (10/5): - We had a fantastic stay at Ariyasomvilla. Kudos to David and the very attentive and friendly staff. The pool and surrounding areas as well as the rooms and restaurant/checkin areas were beautiful. Could not have asked for a more relaxing time for our last few days in Bangkok. We were initially concerned that the resort area might be a bit remote for shopping/restaurants, however, there were ample options within walking distance (over and above the great on-site Na Aroon restaurant). Also, the adjacent Saen Saeb canal boat ferry system provided a great means to connect with the nearby metro and BRT stations. Hope to return again soon.
- Katherine (10/5): - We absolutely fell in love with this property. From the moment we arrived, the staff did everything they could to make us feel at home. The rooms are huge and super clean and the food is absolutely amazing - even my super picky son raved over every meal. We were so sad when it came time for us to leave and will most definitely stay here again when we are back in Bangkok. Truly, I can not recommend this hotel enough! It is top notch!
- Margaret (8/5): - Room is beautiful. Lovely breakfast as well. Only a few people who work there speak good English but that is enough to get by. We had one minor miscommunication about taxis, only reason I’m giving it 4/5 overall. Highly recommend though!
- MICHAEL (10/5): - An Amazing green Oasis next to the world famous Bumrungrad hospital. Every well trained and friends. Eager to. help. A. keeper.
- Brian (10/5): Beautiful oasis in Bangkok - Really cute place that has a local Thai feeling with beautiful gardens. Beautiful boutique hotel!
- Philip (10/5): Oasis - A little oasis on the middle of bangkok
- Verified traveler (10/5): Instantly a new favourite spot in Bangkok - This is a beautiful small hotel - charming design, fantastic service, delicious food and a uniquely peaceful feel in the middle of Bangkok.
- Michael (8/5): - Good central location quiet area 5 minutes from river taxi 15 minutes from sky train, lovely property and gardens, spacious rooms, comfy bed and pillows tea coffee in room, excellent helpful friendly staff, good breakfast, good restaurant for evening meal, enjoyed our stay
- Mariola (10/5): - It is an oasis in Bangkok, quiet and located in a beautiful garden.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Loved the tradional decor of the hotel, spacious room, unique garden setting and friendly staff.
- ChiaChia (10/5): - The hotel felt very intimate, and the room included some very thoughtful items, including mosquito spray, eating utensils, and fruit. The location was pretty close to the major transit stops, though the property itself was very quiet and serene. The breakfast was great and offered both Thai and Western options.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing paradise in the middle of everything. Yummy breakfast, lovely people, beauriful property. Everything was perfect
- Verified traveler (10/5): - If you like a charming, tranquil, relaxing, place to stay in the heart of the city then Ariyasomvilla is all that and a lot more! We stayed here for our 25th wedding anniversary and enjoyed every minute of it! The breakfast is absolutely divine. We are vegan and the Thai dishes were fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The rooms are traditional Thai and the grounds are beautiful. Highly recommended
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I will never stay anywhere else in Bangkok. Food is amazing and booked a wonderful massage before my very long flight home. Next visit I will just plan more time to stay!!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We have read other reviews calling this an oasis of calm and that is exactly what Ariyasomvilla is. A stunning property with character and class, authentic and delivers at all levels
- james (10/5): Romantic Oasis in Middle of Busy Bangkok - This is now my favorite property to stay in Bangkok. The staff is extremely helpful. The room was pleasant and well equipped with large pleasant bathroom. The grounds are beautiful, covered in orchids and other plants. Excellent breakfast menu with wide range of choices. BTS station is easy walk, but when you are on the hotel grounds you can forget you are in the middle of bustling city.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The people were amazing and the place was very well kept. Breakfast was wonderful !
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very beautiful boutique hotel with tons of old world charm. An oasis in central Bangkok.
- Scotti (8/5): - Ariyasomvilla is truly an inner-city oasis! This was an outstanding stay with just as outstanding staff to match. Our room was a good size and comfortable though we wished the air con/ceiling fan was more powerful. Access from the villa to the local BTS train and conveniences stores was easy though a little difficult for taxi to navigate at times and uneven surface of the sidewalk made for a cautious walk. I look forward to returning in the future to relax by the pool with a preference to stay in a room in the newer wing.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I cannot day enough great things about this place. Stop looking for hotels and book this place now.. It is a gem! The staff are so friendly and helpful. The breakfast was so delicious- a great way to start the day. Close walk to the BTS and good location to get around the city. Hawker food down the street and reasonably priced massages nearby. The rooms are spacious and the pool is refreshing. This place is an oasis! We were so sad to say goodbye!
- Ka Yee Linda (10/5): Nice hotel, great service - The hotel is very nice and the service is great. It is located in a street which is safe but not a very decent walk from the Main Street
- Verified traveler (8/5): Weekend in Bangkok - Stayed here on my most recent trip to Bangkok,. This is a charming hotel in a great location The rooms are a bit dated but that adds to the charm, it’s as if you’re traveling back in time to a plantation home. The food is wonderful!!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful room and grounds. Outstanding customer service.
- Wei MIng (10/5): Great stay in nature within Bangkok. - The hospitality was first class. The boss met with the breakfast guests each morning. Very warm welcome and environment.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This is a beautiful property with an incredible restaurant. Great place to relax in a busy city. Wish I had stayed longer. Staff is exceptional.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A unique and small family run hotel in a great location right in the middle of the city. The jewel in the crown. Quiet, relaxing, great food and attention to detail with fantastic helpful staff.
- Valerie (10/5): Private oasis in the heart of the city - What a lush little gem of a place! It’s hard to believe it’s right in the middle of Bangkok, easy walking distance to a BTS stop. Our room was super comfortable and well-appointed, breakfast was great (especially the fresh mango and dragon fruit), and we enjoyed lounging by the pool between our morning and evening outings.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A beautiful oasis tucked away in Bangkok. Relaxing pool. Helpful staff. Excellent restaurant. Helpful staff. Highly recommend.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Truly unique little oasis in the heart of Bangkok. Close to everything. Love the character of the rooms and the property itself, the saltwater swimming pool in the garden, the wonderful Thai massage in the pavilion, and the delicious food at Na Aroon.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This is an oasis of calm and beauty in downtown Bangkok. Only 24 rooms. The setting is quiet, with abundant trees and plants. Wonderful pool. Our room was large and extremely comfortable. The staff was charming. The food was wonderful, although mostly vegetarian. I cannot imagine a better place to stay in downtown Bangkok. This was so much better than staying in a typical high-rise hotel.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff were fantastic and although I am a true carnivore the food in the vegetarian and seafood restaurant was first class the breakfast was exceptional
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Just beautiful! A hidden gem in the city. Very peaceful. Lovely restaurant too. Easy to stay and chill even as Bangkok beckons. If you can,stay here!
- Jane (10/5): - beautiful quiet and lovely hotel with superb food, staff and ambiance. It was more like staying at a beautiful home than a hotel. We loved it!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - There are few hotels to which I want to return; the Imperial in Delhi, the Taj in Mumbai are two. This gem of a boutique hotel is up there with them. It is a haven of calm in the middle of the frenetic city of Bangkok. When you enter the premises you forget about what is going on just a few metres away outside the gates. The rooms are wonderful, the food is excellent, the staff are well trained, the owner is friendly and makes it a point to speak to as many of his guests as possible. It is well worth the extra money to make your stay in Bangkok memorable.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great hotel. Convenient and wonderful service
- Chandra (10/5): Thank you - We love staying here. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The room is comfortable and the restaurant is good. It's a little relaxing bubble in Bangkok.
- Sonny (10/5): - Very well situated . Polite and helpful staff . Lovely ambience.
- Tommy (10/5): - It was amazing I will go there again for sure. But its a little expensive.
- Alan (10/5): luxury Boutique hotel - The hotel is an urban oasis. Although close to many taller buildings, you dont feel overlooked if sitting out round the pool. There is plenty of vegetation in the garden to hide most other buildings. i I any case, the hotel is anything but a modern, faceless block, the core part with the dining room and reception having been built as his home by the present owner's grandfather. We were upgraded on arrival to an executive suite which was spacious and most comfortable. Although it backed onto a canal, the boats were noisy only till early evening from about 7am. The dining room was excellent at both breakfast and dinner and service impeccable. David, the co-owner, was an attentive and very helpful host. we shall stay again if ever back in Bangkok.
- ivars (10/5): Wonderful oasis nestled in urban chaos - Simply everything was terrific. Service from registering to departing exceeded expectations. Beautiful hidden boutique hotel in the middle of Bangkok. Great pool surrounded by lush greenery. We were there for 5 perfect days.
- Robert (10/5): Peace and tranquility at a bargain price. - Kuala Lumpur was the last destination of a long journey with my son. I was hoping to book a special hotel as the 'grand finale' of our overland journey from Singapore. We were both absolutely delighted to escape another busy noisy city at the Aryasomville hotel. Naturally we did the essential tourist gimmicks so we can say ”we've been to Bangkok” but we spent the rest of our time enjoying the peace and tranquility of the hotel. If I need to visit Bangkok again I won't even search; I'll just book this one again. Incidentally; the most amazing thing is that it's not expensive. I've stayed in many hotels that were around twice the price and not even half as good and I'm thinking of staff and service too.
- Alain (8/5): - Nice middle-class hotel. The garden is absolutely marvelous. The room (studio) lighting was not efficient enough. The room was very dark even during the day. Some holes in the bedsheets. This is not acceptable for a luxurious property. The proximity of the canal generates bad smell (sewer) . The Personel was lovely . We got a room upgrade for free.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice hotel - Nice hotel away from the city. They have a nice tuk tuk service that will drop you at the city centre all the time. Nice swimming pool and green areas. Breakfast was ok but sometimes it took forever to get a coffee. Good food compared to traditional hotels. We only had one problem in room with leaky a/c every night leaving floor all wet and noisy. Nice big room and huge bathroom.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A very beautiful and zen place. Staff are wonderful.
- Greg (10/5): - A hotel that was once a private home. An oasis with a great staff and swimming oool to cook off the hot humid day treks. A boutique hotel surrounded by gardens. Can’t feel better when you return “home”
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great Oasis in the heart if Bangkok - I had a terrific stay. The room was beautiful with a balcony and David the owner and his staff could not have been more hospitable. The pool is a perfect place to relax with the lush trees all around.
- F (8/5): - If you want to stray away from large chains and prefer more tranquility in the city - head for Ariyasomvilla. The location still offers central access to Bangkok's hot spots without feeling like you are in the city. Lovely wholesome breakfast, the owner offers a warm greeting each morning for a more personal touch. Would definitely stay again. Oh and opt for their Thai Massage which helped remove some stiff niggles. Thanks to all the staff and David.
- Lulu (10/5): Gorgeous tranquility in chaotic Bangkok - Chose this hotel from great reviews and it did not disappoint! Classic Thai experience at the end of a long road (calling it a street is a stretch). Beautiful, quiet sleep, comfy bed, good AC, fabulous breakfast either Thai or American style, friendly staff. As has been said before- location is not in the thick of the tourist/shopping area which is the main reason why we chose it. Taxi drivers do struggle to find it. Turns out most taxi/tuk tuk drivers don’t use GPS (and don’t care to) So we had to help out once with directions on our phone. Just be sure you get one of the little cards that gives the directions in Thai at the front desk before you leave for the day.
- Carolyn (10/5): Romantic and charming in the heart of Sukhumvit! - Love this place--romantic and charming. The English owner is very helpful. Food at restaurant is excellent!
- John (10/5): Our favorite Hotel in Bangkok - This is still our best place to stay in Thailand. We have been coming to the Ariyasomvilla for a number of years and the standards have been well maintained, if not improved. The food is superb, the staff are friendly, efficient, the rooms are very nice, I love the wooden floors
- MRS ANNE (10/5): Lovely gardens and building - Small but beautiful gardens with a small swimming pool and spa. The dining room was lovely with a colonial feel to it and the food delicious. The menu is mainly vegetarian but there is a large choice of dishes so something for every taste and the breakfast is large and freshly prepared. We stayed at the hotel to relax following a touring holiday so can't comment much about the area, though there seemed to be many places to eat in the neighbourhood. If sightseeing, you need transport to reach the river area but the staff are helpful so would order a taxi and the rail line is close by. For a place to relax, this is 5*.
- Ray (10/5): A charming, hotel - A charming luxury hotel oasis in a concrete city. The most friendly willing to please, and efficient staff in this privately owned, slightly querky place, full of character. We had a late flight out and they not only let us keep our bags there while we toured the city, but made all the facilities available to us after a hot day, including an en suite room. So we were able to get showered and changed before our flight. The restaurant is vegetarian plus fish, which limits your choice a bit for breakfast, but the evening meal choice is huge and fabulous. Highly reccommended. Nice cocktails, too.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Absolutely a good choice - Very pleasant stay, cosy and friendly service. Love them all.
- Siriol (8/5): An oasis amid the sensual assault of Bangkok - We stayed for three nights at the Ariyasomvilla for a bit of luxury at the end of several weeks' travelling around Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. Check-in was efficient and we were delighted to receive an upgrade from a deluxe double to an executive deluxe. The room was enormous and came with its own lounge. If I were going to be really picky I'd say one of the lampshades was stained and the armchair in the lounge was showing signs of wear, also that the room was quite noisy as it overlooked the canal so you could hear the passenger boats. That said, it was a lovely room and the boats don't run after about 8pm anyway. What was more disappointing was that the wifi was initially quite unreliable, though that seemed to improve after our first day. Breakfast was very good (there was a really wide range of items on offer) and it came with some of the best coffee we had anywhere on our trip. The staff at reception were great though there was one occasion in the restaurant when they were a little unaware that we were trying to get their attention. That may have been largely due to the position of one of the tables outside near the pool. David, the owner, was very friendly and great to chat to. He went out of his way to make guests feel very welcome and we really appreciated that. We also particularly appreciated the studio room we were given free-of-charge on the last day when we wanted a late check-out as our flight was not until after midnight.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Quiet haven in the midst of a big city. Staff was superb. Not able to walk to locations from the hotel, car or tuk tuk required.
- David (10/5): Classy and comfy - Classy and comfy
- Ruth and David (10/5): Calm oasis in central Bangkok - We stayed at AryasomVilla for a two night stopover in Bangkok. We really enjoyed our stay making full use of the lovely pool and restaurant. The grounds are lush and tropical, staff really friendly and the place felt like a calm oasis in the middle of the frenetic city. Owner David was always available and regularly checked in to make sure we were being looked after. The restaurant was a delight. Wonderful Thai and western offerings with an extensive and eclectic choice of beverages. We loved all of our meals here. We'll definitely be coming back for a longer stay.
- Craig (8/5): Nice stay in Bangkok - This is a small, comfortable, quiet, friendly hotel that feels like old Bangkok – a nice alternative to the high rises and bustle. It's situated at the end of a narrow, busy street, past the small shops that cater to employees at the International Hospital, so it feels secluded. The staff speak English very well, are helpful without being intrusive, and are all smiles. The vibe is family-owned inn more than hotel. The restaurant, Na Aroon, is excellent, serving a wide-ranging pescatarian Thai menu that's worth a stop even if you aren't a hotel guest. The breakfast was a fantastic, gentle way to begin the day – it was hard not to simply pass the morning there. The pool area, including the spa, is lush and relaxing, even with the boat noise that comes from the adjacent waterway. David, the owner, is delightful and seemed to check on every guest. We stayed twice, at the beginning and end of our vacation, both times in rooms next to the waterway. (The water taxis sound like diesel trucks passing at a distance, which did not bother us – you're in a city – but might be disturbing to some. If you're sensitive to noise, just request a room away from the water when booking.) After traveling such a long distance, we found Ariyasomvilla to be a great place to re-energize.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - An oasis in downtown Bangkok. Staff was very friendly.
- john (10/5): Calm oasis - Very relaxing and peaceful right next to main canal. Easy to get to and from

- Verified traveler (10/5): perfect stay - friendly staff, nice environment, convenient location, delicious complimentary breakfast. my family and I had a wonderful stay.
- Jayne (10/5): - Fantastic hotel - great breakfast and great service.
- T & V (10/5): A hidden gem! - Small boutique hotel hidden off the beaten path. Very nice and quiet in the heart of bustling Bankok. Your taxi driver may have some difficulty finding it as it is at the end of an alley behind the hospital....but, well worth the effort! Beautiful lush grounds surrounding the pool and courtyard. The property backs up to a busy commercial canal....lots of small boat traffic and some noise during the day but this stops around 7 in the evening. Our room did not overlook the canal and was very quiet. The hotel staff is great! The Managing Director, David, is always present and is a gracious host!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Couple of days in Bangkok - Great location only a short walk away from shopping and the skytrain, beautiful pool too
- Iain (8/5): Perfect if you don't like large mega-hotels - We don't like large, chain hotels. A trip to Laos involved spending two nights in Bangkok, and we really wondered where we would stay. However, we found the Ariyasomvilla, and it suited us perfectly. It's amazing but refreshing that a place like this can survive in a city of mega-hotels. Staff were friendly at all times, even arranging a private driver at a reasonable price to take us to Ayutthaya, saving us a lot of time and energy faffing around with mini-vans. The rooms are big, but could do with some extra lighting. There is a small pool at the back. Breakfast - included in our rate - was fine. We are not vegetarians, so we did not care for the vegetarian restaurant only, but there are loads of other eating opportunities close by. Our flight was late in the evening, but we were able to store luggage, return after 4pm after a day sightseeing for a quick swim, then a shower in the separate annex next to the pool. It was the ideal preparation for a long flight. We would certainly consider staying here again.
- Jennifer (10/5): Oasis in Bangkok - We had a very nice stay. This hotel is an oasis in the middle of a very lively city, yet provides easy access to public transportation. The food and service were excellent. We enjoyed meeting David, the owner. He and the staff were very friendly and attentive. We recommend staying here to anyone visiting Bangkok who wants to stay somewhere with more personal experience.
- David (10/5): Nice small hotel in the middle of Bangkok - The entrance is a little scary during the night but the experience inside is wonderful.
- David (10/5): Oasis of calm in a city of chaos - A fantastic hotel relatively close to centre where you can relax in wonderful colonial surroundings and recover after a hard days sightseeing or shopping. We had a beautiful room with huge bathroom and separate sitting room, all tastefully furnished. Food was excellent with eggs benedict to die for at breakfast. Wish we had been able to stay longer!
- Miko (10/5): Relaxing oasis in Sukhumvit area - Spacious, well-appointed rooms. Swimming pool is 20m & good for lap swimmers. Restaurant is very nice and affordable. Does not offer meat however seafood is fresh & tasty. The staff is delightful.
- E (10/5): Peaceful paradise in Bangkok - Located at the end of an ally in the heart of crazy Bangkok is a paradise property. Be prepared to be greeted daily by the owner at the complimentary breakfast provided while enjoying an escape from the craziness of Bangkok in your tranquil room with spa amenities. Originally concerned about reserving the studio (that's all that was available), I discovered it was ample and could not have been happier with the accomodations.
- Tom (10/5): A welcome oasis! - The boutique hotel is an oasis in the busy hustle bustle of the city. The rooms are fabulously decorated with attention to detail and Thai furniture . David is a great host, chef, manager - making time to get to know the guests. We would go back in a minute.
- Leong (6/5): Lush and tranquil setting with ample landscape - It's quite a walk to the nearest BTS. Not as near as described. End up taking cab back to hotel every night. No provision of bath gel, only soap. No provision of toothbrush until we ask at the reception.
