We spent two beautiful nights here. Everibody were really kind and helpful. The chef is an artists and the view from the restaurant's terrace has made the meals even more special. Not to mention the bar at the top of the building. It is amazing. The room exceeded that we anticipated based on the agoda photos. The only room for improvement is in sound-proofing. We heard nearly everything from the surrounding area. But alltogether we are going to return here next year. Thank you Sala Arun!

We booked this hotel as our last night in Thailand before heading to the airport. We were pleased to find a nice bar on the rooftop with an awesome view of the Wat Arun. As well, our room had a great view overlooking the river and the Wat. The room was fairy spacious, clean, and well decorated. The location is great as its close to the Temple, the Grand Palace, and only a few minutes from Khao San Road.

Fantastic views over Chao Phraya River”

Comfortable, friendly hotel, with fantanstic views of Wat Arun on the opposite side of the Chao Phraya River, and very close to the Grand Palace and other Bangkok sights. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There is a good and popular restaurant on the ground floor and a rooftop bar with great views. It's slightly difficult for taxis to find being down a narrow alley. There is no hotel foyer as such, with reception sharing space with the restaurant. Also there is no lift, but staff were helpful getting heavy suitcases up the stairs. Our 2nd floor room was comfortable and quiet despite the staircase to the rooftop bar. (I suspect that rooms on the next floor up might get more noise). Overall the hotel is probably due for a renovation.

If your room is under the rooftop bar. You can hear other guests talking and walk to upstairs to the bar and the restroom is near to your room. I suggest you to book 2nd-3rd floor if possible. But the river view is the best!!!

Excellent location, be warned on some facilities missing”

Excellent location. So close to so many site seeing places. However there is no elevator. We were on the top floor, so had to carry our own luggage downstairs (we had to check out early morning and there was no staff around.) They were staff on hand to carry our luggage up the stairs when we checked in, however. Breakfast was included, but only started at 8.30am. Which we had to leave much earlier than this so could not take advantage of the breakfast. You can't checkout earlier than 7am as there is no staff before this time. We booked through Agoda requesting airport pick up, but that never made it through to the hotel. There is a skybar above, so can be quite noisy with people walking pass the rooms to and from the bar. We were on the top floor, so can sometimes hear the steps above.

I chose this location because of the view from the room. It's so lovely to watch the pagoda from the room all day, all night (if you love it). The food is just plain. However, we can walk around to find much more food from the market nearby. There is an MRT station very close to the hotel, so it is very convenient. The rooftop bar also has a great view during the night. However, there are lots of mosquitos outside the room at night.
