As always staff was very helpful and friendly. Location good for seafood and shopping. Decor is nice and it is nice to be recognized and acknowledged b,y the staff. I saw on my booking that, it is supposed to be a smoking free hotel,but there are always people smoking in the downstairs area. The tall thin security guy is always extra helpful,and efficient. Good place to return to when one has to be in Bangkok. Rooms ar e quiet and relaxing.

Beautiful hotel but be aware of China town.
Very spacious, quiet, trendy
8.7
Hi there,
We staid in the hotel for 2 days. It was beautiful greeting. They offered us wet towels a a cup of green tea. Staff is very helpful and like to share their smile with you which is very unusual for Bangkok.
There is no much to say. The hotel rooms are exactly as on photos. Very clean and tidy. They are also taking you to a shopping center on tuk tuk free of charge.
The only cons are they are cleaning the rooms around 4pm (which is quite late I think) and it's located in China town which I personally disliked very much. Oh yes, be aware of one butler. He has a good relationship with local taxi drivers and will pretend to get you a "cheaper deal" which is 3 x more than normal rate. It's always wise take a meter taxi.
Shopping Tip:
The hotel will take you to a very good shopping center. Be prepared to spend there whole day :-) However, be aware of fake shop assistants and give your money only to people from who you buying goods.
I was buying some scarfs from a young girl. Then older lady came along when the younger turned her back to check if she has other scarf colours. The older women pretended to be a colleauge and asked for money. I gave the money to her and then she run away.
So i had to pay twice for the same scarfs.

Great location and great service

Really enjoyed our stay here in the heart of Chinatown in a great hotel. Clean and very unique, you could easily be staying in China itself. Great places to eat just down the road, hawker stalls serving roasted duck and pork to die for!

Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover
Unique room decor and big bathtub
7.3
This hotel is located in the centre of Bangkok's Chinatown. Its main entrance blend into its surrounding - old prewar shop houses, noisy street, Bangkok's infamous traffic jam, etc...
But once you step into the hotel's entrance you will be in another world, so to speak. The decor is chic and tranquil ambience.
The room was clean, tastefully furnished and came with a big bathtub, bigger than those usually found in business-class hotel.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
The night scene just outside the hotel is a boon to tourist visiting Asia. There are many small restaurants serving BBQ seafood and Chinese delicacies like shark fin and bird nest soup.

beautiful hotel in a wonderful location
beautiful decor in the rooms set a wonderful and romantic ambience
8.7
The service was very friendly. The room was small but comfortable and cozy. The lanterns and brightly coloured decor was beautiful and we appreciated the free mini bar! The location right in the middle of China town made for some great wanderings around at night for delicious food. During the day it's not far to the markets and other attractions and the river boat.

I have stayed here a few times before and will continue to do so. The breakfast is BRILLIANT and the food offered for A-La-Carte Lunch and Dinner is quite nice.
The atmosphere in the hotel is simply superb and although on the main street of bustling China Town the Hotel is totally quiet.
I love this hotel.

Excellent rooms in China Town
The room was very spacious and romantic
8.3
we had a nice stay here. was a small hotel and we went for the downstairs premium room which cost a little more, but was very spacious. great bath. breakfast and bar were average. i thought it would be a bit more happening. especially the downstairs area that opens to the street. they should spend some money down there and it would really make the hotel better. however, very quiet. we could not believe how quiet it was in our room. so, good to get a good sleep and we are not the types to hang around the hotel too much anyways. had to taxi to places of interest generally.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
Go out of the Hotel and turn left and walk. The Temple just down the road houses a 5 Tonne pure gold Buddha!

Beautiful hotel, good service
Good location to explore Chinatown

Very nice hotel, good base for exploring Chinatown and beyond. Not terribly far to the passenger boat dock which makes it easy to get to a lot of the sites while avoiding traffic. The staff was very attentive and helpful.

China Town comes alive at night with restaurants and food carts popping up all around and this hotel is right in the middle of everything.
