“Here's my take: the riverside location opposite Wat Arun is, without question, the defining feature; you're paying for that view, especially from the rooftop bar. Boutique in feel, it's a solid choice for travelers focused on the temples and historic Rattanakosin. Just be aware the 'hidden' location might challenge taxi drivers.”

Excellent stay with fine views
helpful staff excellent location rooftop bar
The staff acted friendly and helpful. A voucher for the rooftop bar offered a view at a nearby landmark. The location was excellent. The palace and ferry were both close. I enjoyed a quick five minute boat ride to Wang Luang from the pier.
I noticed no elevator. Someone carried my bag up, but there was no one to carry it down. The stairs wound around like a spiral staircase, which wasn't great when carrying heavy luggage.

The breakfast included delicious choices. Drinks at the rooftop bar were totally worth it, especially because of the views. I loved the good coffee selection and cocktail options. The cuisine offered a nice experience.
