Sala Rattanakosin Bangkok

Riverside Bangkok|0.51km from The Grand Palace
Amazing views and great location! Plus we loved the onsite restaurant and separate rooftop bar. Friendly staff, modern (recently updated) rooms, reliable wifi. So close to a ferry stop, Wat Pho and Wat Arun. Worth looking on Google Maps street view before arriving - yes this amazing property is at the end of an alleyway with an entry off a pedestrian passage under buildings. Two big steps up to the front door (think converted loading dock) and then no elevator. So as long as you don't mind steps this is a great property! We arrived around 8am, dropped our bags (they put our briefcase in a locked office, all was safe and accounted for when we returned about 4pm). As of Feb 2023 the hop-on/hop-off boat stop is under renovation, but a super cheap ferry is just a short block away to take you across the river to Wat Arun and the hop-on/hop-off boat stop there. You are just a block away from Wat Pho and easy walking distance to many other attractions. Front desk staff is effective and friendly. We don't speak Thai and language was no problem. They took good care of us and gave good advice. When our grab app wasn't talking to our phone data, they were happy to arrange for a taxi. Note the rooms are quite modern - platform bed, glass shower stall (and privacy curtain) with no wall to the bedroom, etc. We chose not-super flexible prepaid rate that included breakfast. This is one of the best hotel breakfasts we have ever had. Beautiful view, many courses, western and Thai choices. Every table gets housemaid cocoa puffs (yes, you read that right), yogurt, mini fruit smoothie, fruit selection and charcuterie. And then you order your main courses! Oh and I think there was also a bread basket. They accomodate gluten free no problem. The fruit was amazing, some items we didn't even know what they were but it was all very tasty. For room selection, note that the non-river view rooms have great rooftop views of Wat Pho. There are no guest rooms on the ground floor or US 2nd floor/European 1st floor on the non-river side of the structure, so no rooms are looking only at neighboring buildings

The location of the hotel is very good, close to the Grand Palace and Temple Arun, and also very close to the pier. There is an open-air balcony on the roof overlooking the Chao Phraya River and Bangkok's cityscape. The boss is very friendly, even though I arrived so late at 1:30 in the middle of the night. They checked me in and the facilities in the dormitory are also very complete. It is highly recommended.

If you fancy gorgeous views of Wat Arun and watching life along the river unfold then look no farther than Arun Riverside. The views, directly across from Wat Arun, are simply stunning, especially at night when it's lit. Our room, a 3rd floor Riverview Suite, was comfortably sized with a king bed, sofa, modern bathroom, and small balcony. The included breakfast was very good with several choices available. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The area is also a short walk to other popular (Old Bangkok) sights (Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew, Wat Pho). One thing to keep in mind...there is no elevator so if you are on a higher floor (my suggestion) you will have stairs to contend with although staff will help deliver your luggage to the room.

Khaosan Road
Warm and friendly service, luxurious room and amenities all within walking distance to the pier, the main Wats (Pho and Arun) as well as other key attractions. This is a two bedroom home stay and our room was so full of warmth and charming decor with every detail taken care of. There was a desk to write on, a luxurious king bed with great sheets and towels, and snacks/beverages to boot. The breakfast is served in the lovely cafe downstairs, so much food we could skip lunch! The coffee is also excellent. Finally, they provided a useful map of places to eat nearby, which also described the unique history of the building. I highly recommend this place as a welcome contrast to the hustle, bustle and heat of Bangkok. They make you feel at ease and at home.
Riva Arun Bangkok

Very nice and comfortable boutique hotel. The hotel is located in a nice part of Bangkok, close to some points of interest,such as Chinatown, Wat Po, Museum Siam, Grand Palace, and many temples. Everything was really nice. Not only the location, but the people were friendly and engaging.  The hotel is close to the Chaopraya River. so you get an incredible view at night. The decoration is minimal and pleasant to the eyes. The staff are really lovely and helpful, and the hotel is neat and clean. I will definitely come back again.

Stayed for 3 nights, a boutique hotel with three rooms, rebuilt on the basis of the old house, renovated, nostalgic style, 2 upstairs, 1 downstairs, clean is very good, the standard of a five-star hotel, not facing the street, very quiet at night. Western breakfast is available, and Chinese porridge is also available. Select breakfast and time in advance. Hotel staff warm, answer various questions, book the last day to the airport car Hotel location is good, Bangkok's core attractions are within 1 km, the Grand Palace, the Reclining Buddha Temple, Khao San Road, Muay Thai Museum, Siam Museum, National Museum, Chao Phraya River, the hotel is not facing the street, you need to turn into the alley 20 meters, call grab to the intersection, May Bangkok is very hot, If you are not in a hurry, you can go back to the hotel to rest at noon and go shopping slowly. There are also many local restaurants and street shops around, the price is cheap and the taste is good.
