Hotels near Tawet Palace

I enjoyed my stay at AVANI. The staff was quite helpful and friendly. The hotel also shares a water taxi with the hotel in front of them (I figured this out myself, but would've liked to be informed), which takes you to BTS Station. From there you can take either the yellow or orange flag taxis to the Grand Palace other Wat Poh etc. If you want to book a day trip, the Concierge can assist, but going through the hotel will obviously cost you more than doing it online, yourself. The rooms had excellent views and there's nothing to complain about. All in all, a very enjoyable stay.

This hotel was AMAZING, the best hotel experience I've ever had. We booked this for a 30th birthday celebration and specifically wanted this hotel mainly for the rooftop bar/restaurant and the incredible balconies. I had seen this on the Hangover movie and I'd spent months stalking them on instagram and by the time we came to depart I was worried that I had built it up too much and it was going to be a let down. I was SO wrong. From the second we stepped out of the car on arrival we were treated like VIP's, the staff were so incredibly lovely, they went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time, they sent me a total of THREE birthday cakes in our 5 day stay, and one of them was brought to us at our dinner at sirocco by about 5 staff all enthusiastically singing happy birthday. The location is perfect, the views are some of the best I've ever seen (upgrade to tower club river view TRUST ME) and the staff are ALL incredible. We would never stay any where else in Bangkok!

This hotel is something difficult to describe. The hotel is amazing, really really beautiful, 5 stars and plus, but mmmm, for Bangkok really can be better. We book a club room and was ok, I mean, is 5 stars and all amazing you want, but the club is not the best in town, the room is not the best in town, the location is not too good, and is not cheap specially the restaurants and bar in roof, but you can say “yes, is amazing anyway”. Like I say, is difficult to explain, is good but not enough for the price, that’s the point. Anyway if find a good price & promotion, will come back yes or yes, but if too expensive, I will choose another. Also, the hotel should have different elevators for hotel guests and visitors to the sky bar. In night is almost impossible to take the elevator because have hundreds of people doing line to go to the roof.

Overall, the stay was as expected of Hilton standards. The warmest staff there are probably the boat shuttle personnel, and doormen. The others are rather cold and a little too impersonal. The worst is probably the 'breakfast door-lady' who never fail to embarrass my wife and I for two days. Perhaps it was my mistake to have made an error during my online booking to indicate only 1 person. Despite being assured during check-in that I can just walk in and the extra will be charged accordingly, I am still subjected to a 5 minutes questioning and further checking in the systems. But I suspect she does not understand my request "Please charge to my room". So, be extra careful when doing the booking, otherwise you would be harassed. Anyway, the breakfast is plain, at best, for a 5-star hotel. Although far, the hotel's boat shuttle makes it up. It is convenient, safe, regular, FOC and connects you almost directly to the BTS (Saphan Taksin) and the river express central jetty. Another public ferry (6 Bahts return) connects you nearer to Chinatown. For the adventurous, do visit the market directly beside the hotel for good authentic Thai food.

Fantastic in every way! Comfortable rooms, super good breakfast buffet, great fitness center looking out at pool, seperate lagoon pool with swim up bar...oh my goodness...ferry access to Wat Pho (Grand Palace) and many other sites. Easy access to China town and staff very helpful and informative. Best personal service from large hotel ever! Thank you for wonderful stay...did not want to leave!

I loved every bit of it, i was a little worried since i booked it on a budget, but truly the hotel easily matches any 4 star hotel. It was a WOW experience. The hotel is located on the riverside, which has true stunning views of the chao praya river, both from the room and the garden outside where you can just laze on a chair overlooking the river or take the relaxing swim. the food was also great, we had buffet breakfast which had a pretty good spread of items.The room is minimalistic which was perfect for us since were travelling most of the time. transport: its a 5-7 min walk to the ferry, and from there you can take the chao praya daily pass which takes you to many of the attractions like wat arun, grand palace etc. its also close to the skytrain .good options to avoid traffic at peak times.There are plenty of fast food joints outside the hotel incase you want to sample something else. Plenty of good decent salons for a quick facial, mani/pedi, foot massage. Another thing to mention is that even if its a budget hotel, you will not have to put up with any kind nuisance like noise, unclean rooms etc There was only one negative that i would write- it would be great if the hotel had a boat to cross over to the other side of the river, as thats the starting/end point for most important ferries, it would save the walk to the ferry, which sometimes gets muddy if it rains.

We stayed at this property for 5 days in April 2018. It is centrally located in Bangkok and most of the famous sight seeings can be reached by public transport from here. The nearest BTS (Bangkok Skytrain) station is Krung Thon Buri is a mere 800m walk from here. You can use it to reach Chatuchak Weekend Market, MBK, Central World, Siam Paragon, Sukhumvit, Platinum Fashion Mall, Pratunam Market. For 15 bahts you can reach Grand Palace, Wat Arun and Chinatown by the ferry at Sathorn Pier (ask anyone to guide you for it, a small walk which will take you to the other side of Sathorn Pier from where you can take a ferry to the main pier for 5 Bahts) There are bus stops also on the main road which can take you to many places. Suvarnabhumi Airport is far from here around 40 kms, so if you have a flight to take fro here keep approximately 1.5-2 hrs aside for it (The property can help you book a taxi for 500 bahts for Airport and other sightseeing places). For all Pizza fans there's a Dominos

The Oriental is a classic old world river hotel. While some may say the place is a bit tired with older elevators, rooms and style that hasn't really changed for decades, it's probably still worth it. The thing that makes the Oriental special is the life that passes through. The hotel still has people sitting for tea, eating in the well-known restaurants, enjoying Jazz in the Bambu room, or just hanging out in the lobby. The service is best in class, and you will feel at home and have every need attended to. It is easy to access the Skytrain (BTS) at Saphan Taksin and also pick up a boat from the dock anywhere. The spa across the river is indulgent if you don't care about the price tag. If you want to be on the city side of the river in a classic best in class luxury, and still feel like you are in the scene of a 1960s movie, you can't really replace the Oriental. There are newer over the top hotels that are most beautiful, more extravagent, but none with the same activity that you find at the Oriental. If you want privacy and exclusivity, then there are other options better. But, i do love this hotel and there is something truly Bangkok about it. This is the only top end hotel at the river that can work if you need to go into central.

When my boyfriend and I were planning to book a Hotel in Bangkok, I wanted to have a tub in our room with reasonable prize, since it was our first night we wanted it to be amazing. I found this hotel and was won over its photos of the rooms and was transpired in person, which we were very contented. Upon arrival the FO was very welcoming and helpful, it didnt took us long to wait for the check in procedure and was assisted to our room after 5mins. We booked their Executive Deluxe and it was one of the best rooms. The tub was built for two, best for honeymooners, the bed is big and all the amenities are personalize which makes you feel like you're in a luxurious hotel. Location wise, its very quiet with a lot of street food, which their street is known for, aside from being the oldest roads in Bangkok (a good history), It's a good 5-8mins walk to Asiatique, where you can enjoy night shopping and mid-high level restaurants, before reaching Asiatique, you can pay a visit in a nearby temple for a little sightseeing. You can also save money and time by getting on the boat since its nearby Chao Praya river. Kudos to everyone and I hope to see you all again!

The hotel is located in the historical area of Bangkok (Banglamphu) where you can find lots of delicious foods and travel attractions around (very close to Khaosan, Phra Athit Pier and the Grand Palace). I was there with my partners with the double room (River View). We could see the Rama VIII bridge from the room. Facility in the room are all very good. The only thing that almost disappoint us was the lady at the hotel gave us the wrong room at the very first time. We need to show them the booking confirmation that we paid for the river view room. She changed the room for us. At the lower floor of the hotel, there is bar and restaurant where you can eat, drink and see the view of Chaopraya River together. Beverages are at reasonable price. I would recommend if you would like to take a break in Bangkok for this hotel

We were there mid Sept. had a room with pool access which I highly recommend (premier room). The hotel is beautiful and the rooms with their own kitchenette are great. Easy to cross the river and move around the Chao Praya using public Ferry (depending on the distance and flag color 10 to 30 bahts!) Nice view to the Royal Palace and Wat Arun from their restaurant opposite the road. Nice cocktails too!!!. The Wang Lang Street market right on the door is great for local food during day time. The cons: , the street food is only during day time, for dinner there is less choice. Also ferries stop at 7.30 aprox. You still can use the river crossing ferries but not much mobility at night unless you take a taxi.Taxis have a hard time navigating the narrow busy streets going in and out of the hotel to the main road . All in all we loved the place and its location outside touristy areas. Next time I go back to Bangkok I will return to the Theater Residence for sure!!!

Really liked this place, we stayed here for 3 nights when we arrived in Bangkok and 1 night before we left, obviously its not luxury for the price, rooms are basic but clean and beds are comfortable. Staff we're friendly and helpful. Wifi worked but you had to continually keep signing in as it would constantly kick you off. Its a 5/10min walk to food, bars & amenities and about 15 mins walk to Khao San Road and probably the quietest you will get in this part of town also only a 20 min walk to The Grand Palace. The pool was nice and clean, breakfast was the best hotel breakfast we had in Thailand! The breakfast terrace looks out onto the river which is very nice and right next to the water taxi docks. Try to request a room in the middle of the hotel so your not looking out on the road, its a bit noisy but didn't really stop us sleeping. When leaving walk 1 min down the road and a meter taxi will pick you up in no time, the taxi drivers waiting outside that reception will direct you to will try to offer you inflated fixed prices and refuse meter.

To explore Bangkok in 3 days we (4 ladies age 18, 52, 67 and 72) booked this hotel because of the location near the river and the skytrain. The staf is very friendly and helpfull. Our backpacker arrived without her backpack after the flight: it was lost somewhere on the way.. The staff made several phonecalls to the airport and when we left after 3 days, we could pick up the luggage. Thank you for all the support! The breakfast simply is delicious, almost too much to choose! Walking to Saphan Taksin or Oriental only takes 5 to 10 min. and by orange flag boat you can go to Chinatown, Grand Palace, Wat Po in a quick and interesting way for only 15 baht per person! Note: To go to Wat Arun you have to cross the river by a small ferry. The hotel is for its class absolutely worth the money.

Pros: 1) The rooms and bathrooms are clean 2) The staff is very courteous and speak excellent English. They helped with booking all our transportation needs. 3) They have a 12 hour laundry and the service is good 4) The WiFi is free and the connectivity is excellent 5) They have a restaurant serving lunch and dinner and they make vegetarian dishes on request and the quality is good. 6) They helped with all our transportation needs 7) The tariff is not cheap, but probably par for the location. 8) The views are absolutely gorgeous. It is bang opposite Wat Arun and watching the sun set/rise is priceless. 9) The location is great. It is right next to the ferry stop, right opposite Wat Pho and a short walk to the Grand Palace. There are plenty of great eating options very close to the hotel. 10) Breakfast was great and there are good vegetarian choices. Cons: 1) The rooms and bathrooms are tiny. 2) The corridors smells of sewage. 3) Looks like there are rats gnawing in b/n walls

Lovely little boutique hotel, which, as long as you don't want to be right next to one of the big temples or Khao San Road, is in a prefect part of town. Near the public pier where you can catch a ferry to take you to the main temples and Grand Palace, a great street food stall just on the corner, some cool shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance, and the taxis aren't such a rip off in this part of town. The room design is cool and modern with a few nice traditional touches. You do need to be pretty intimate with and trusting of your partner though, because the toilet and shower are in glass boxes with just a curtain dividing them visually from the main bedroom area. The bed is super comfortable and our room was really quiet so we slept really well. Very nice staff too.

my wife and I booked the hotel for 3 nights to celebrate our wedding anniversary. after we arrived we were shown an upstairs room. I told the mgr. that my wife has a condition that causes her to lose her balance and the stairs, with no rail, would be too dangerous for her. I then reminded the mgr that we had booked the black room, on the first floor. she brought the owner to talk to us and I repeated what I had told the mgr. the owner, Cee, said that agoda does not tell them which room was requested only that a room was requested. I looked up our online booking and saw that the rooms were described but not linked to a color and all the rooms are defined by their color. Cee then said that another thai couple had booked the black room for two nights and he could give us one night in it and the 2nd night in another room, then the 3rd night back in the first room but he would talk to the other man and see what he could do. when we came out for supper Cee told us that the other man said we could have the room all 3 nights. Thainess at it's best! everything about our stay was wonderful from the staff to the food to the quirky uniqueness of the room. we felt like honored guests in someone's home and not customers in a hotel. if you want a particular room i suggest you go to the Loy Lalong website and book directly.

This is a beautiful hotel. Although it might not be a 4 star hotel on any lists, it seems like a 4 or 5 star hotel disguised as a 3 star. It has very large rooms, with king size beds. The carpets and interior of the rooms are so clean, with beautiful art deco present in every room and hallway. It has a strong emphasis on the artistic side of decor. My room had a beautiful view of the city, for miles and miles. As a building, it is not among many tall buildings; this one just suddenly appears among a standard local culture district, with standard Thai food shops along the street. But only a few blocks away is a very big restaurant and shopping area called Asiatica, which is like a truly international food court. Asiatica reminded me of restaurant and shopping areas in California! Same kinds of great breweries, restaurants and establishments, including a French restaurant and many affordable Thai restaurants. Room comes with refrigerator, and various amenities. Above all, the room is huge, and a beautiful clean white with art on the walls and a TV ready to go. Great climate control. Room did not come with free breakfast, but apparently, some do. Very fast and easy check in. I happened to be there for their Festival of Lights religious holiday and so this Asiatica shopping area and the street Tongtara is on were truly packed with people. Taxi driver and hotel staff reassured me it is not always like this!! But this is a beautiful hotel, which not only has huge rooms, a sense of art and large beds. It seems to be a 4 or 5 star hotel disguised as a 3 star hotel in a 3 star area!!

We loved the Baan Wanglang! We had a riverview room and loved it very much. The room was spacious and the view on the river was amazing, it was so much fun watching all the boats going up and down the river. Also being able to see the palace was great. The room was clean, the staff was very nice, the internet worked fine, just be careful to close the doors before sunset, the mosquitos are awful. Breakfast was not so great, so we skipped it and just wandered around the local market right behind the hotel and got some great fruit. The market was generally great fun and you wouldn't see many tourists there, so it's definitely worth going. We knew that it would be hard to get to the hotel, but the first taxi driver just called the hotel and they gave him directions and picked us up with a hotel tuk tuk from the main road. On the other days we showed cab Drivers the area on a map and told them which turns to take and then walked 1-2 minutes through the market to the hotel. The hotel is actually only 15 cab minutes away from Khao San Road and the Palace so I think the location is pretty good. Besides taking cabs it's definitely worth using the public boat transport on the river, it's lots of fun and also really interesting. We would definitely stay at the Baan Wanglang again!

The hotel is very charming, warm and cosy. The room was quite big and our little boy had a good sleep on the sofa bed Materials are nice and create a nice atmosphere. The staff is friendly, very arranging, they re-opened the restaurant at 9.30 pm for us to eat something before going to sleep. The hotel is really hidden, even the taxi are not aware how to go but the staff have papers with explanations in thai. the safety guard come to help you pick up the bagages as you need to finish walking to reach the hotel. The hotel is located 15 to 20 minutes walk to the Grand palace bangkok on the other side of the river. 15 min walk for restaurants and food market in Siam area. We had a ride with the company Bangkok by bike, located 10 min walking distance, in the hidden paths of Bagkok, - nothing to do with the hotel but highly recommended

I loved staying here. This is an elegantly remodeled historic building that is charming. The access to the hotel is by their private boad (don't be afraid it is easy and quick). They provide you with a cell phone to call for pickup. The hotel is across the river and a reasonable walk to main sites (King's palace, Thai Museum, a few Wats and a performance venues as well as some older sites that you can poke around in. The metro water transportation for the city is right there and a cheap and easy way to get around (an avoid the "negotiations" with the local taxi drivers. The food was very good and interesting. They had traditional foods replicated from menues 100 years old. It is an elegant oasis from the crowds of the city, while still being in the city. The staff was great and the type of people you'd like to have as friends after you leave. Very romantic too. I've traveled a lot and this is the first hotel I've given the highest ratings on all categories. Be sure to use arrange tranportation from the airport through the hotel as the first trip over the hotel's boat can be confusing, but after that it is not an issue (with the loaner cell phone...great idea).

This hotel is in a great location on the river, and this gives you the best way to tour the city because the boats run up and down the river like a bus, cost about 20 baht and a lot faster than going by taxi or street bus. The boats can drop you off to many market areas as well as Chinatown and the Grand Palace. The rooms are clean and the staff very attentive. The breakfast buffet was also very good. I will be staying here again in the future simply because of the river access. Other features are a bonus.

A lifelong friend and I are traveling Thailand. The Swan Hotel is wonderful. It is not a new hotel but deserves 5 stars. The room is very basic but comforatable. The pool is fantastic and beautiful. The staff is the best. Always there to help you. Breakfast and lunch is very good with wonderful quick service. I will always stay here when I return. Thank You---Patricia Smith---Florida USA

Whether you’re a solo traveller, couple, or family - this place is absolutely amazing! From the moment you lay eyes on this aesthetically pleasing quaint boutique hotel - you will be in love! Talakkia is a hidden gem (literally, down a secure back alley), just a ten minute walk from Chinatown. The staff were exceptional, the food moderately priced and delicious, and the room superbly clean with everything you need - and not to mention the unique, modern-industrial chic decor, so cute! Would stay here a million times more if I could have the chance to! Handy mini bar with snacks and drinks to purchase, tiny (but wonderfully relaxing) outside pool and spa/reading/relaxing area, elevator, and ice cream are just a few of the other great perks! Side note - needed a quick shower after checking out and leaving for the day, staff easily let my partner and I come in, rent a towel, and shower up before a long night train ride (appreciate this so much!) - Talakkia, one of the best stays EVER.
