A little gem.

Pros: This is a little gem overlooking the river and the temples. We had dinner here and it was exceptional quality and value. We went to the eagles nest for a drink at night, the views over the temples are truly amazing. The staff were very friendly and helpful. If you want a nice small hotel with exceptional views this is for you.

Great location near Wat Pho, beside river

Pros: Amazing location with river view from breakfast room and good breakfast included. Ideal location for major sights - Royal Palace and Wat Pho. About 10 mins walk from Sanam Chai metro station. Near pier for river trips (bit tricky to find though)

Cons: Fairly steep stairs to our room on 3rd floor. Would not suit those with walking difficulties.

Great location, nice view

Pros: Great location, the view to the river is amazing. Nice building and great old-school furniture. Quiet after midnight.

Cons: No elevator. Busy before closing of the roof top bar and restaurant.

Pros: Location was amazing for all the tourist top spots like the Grand Palace and Wat Arun. The view from the bar and restaurant was breathtaking. And while the view from the room wasnt of Wat Arun, we still got some view of Wat Pho. The whole place was decorated beautifully with an old traditional vibe.

Cons: Wish there were more hangers in the bathroom. The room could use a bit more light.

Different, but worth it.

Pros: Despite an off-putting entrance, this hotel exceeded our expectations. It's not luxury, but it's very authentic. We had a room facing the extraordinary Wat Arun, and we could witness a fabulous sunset. We were right across the road from the Wat Pho, a short walk to the Grand Palace, and very near the MTR and also the river boat piers. We took a 1 hour ride on a long boat through the canal system, which was very \

Cons: As mentioned above the roadway (laneway) down to the hotel entrance is off putting, not helped by a water overflow the day we were there. We could have turned around, but glad that we didn't.

Pros: Nice staff, nice room and great river view from room and breakfast.

Cons: Limited reception space shared with restaurants, building had slight smell and could be cleaner

Brilliant location for Wat Arun, Wat Pho, and Royal Palace. Easy access to water taxis/river boats. Friendly staff.

Pros: Just amazing views of the Wat Arun from the breakfast room, Eat Sight Story restaurant and Eagle Nest rooftop bar. Our room had views of Wat Pho.

Cons: No lift - so 4 flights of stairs to our room!

Loved it. If I get the chance I’ll be back!

Pros: The staff were so kind, the room was cozy, and the view stunning. Loved it very much!

Cons: I enjoyed staying in my room so much I needed to force myself to go out and was almost late for appointments twice. In the last night I was woken up by a strange sound, as if someone was moving furniture after midnight. It disrupted my sleep for more than an hour. Since I suppose it was another guest’s doing and I didn’t complain about it there was nothing the hotel staff could have done about it.

Front Row Seats for the BEST views in town!

Pros: You've got the front row seats to the best views in town! the hotel is pretty run down and doesn't seem like it's very well maintained which is a shame considering it has such an awesome view! I absolutely loved our stay and you definitely pay for the views, otherwise everything else is pretty ordinary. Breakfast was nice with the best views of Wat Arun and then we had dinner here as well, again the BEST place for dinner with the best views and action on the river! Good location, close to Wat Pho, Grand Palace, Wat Arun and river cruises, pier to get the boat etc. I will definitely stay here again!

Cons: The hotel is a bit rundown and OMG walking up 4 or 5 flights up the stairs in the heat was a little too much, especially after a couple of drinks :D we didn't have to carry our bags so it wasn't too bad I guess. Breakfast was pretty average, they really could do more with this place considering it's a great location.
