Arun Riverside Bangkok

So here my honest review: Booked: Junior suite Pro: Nice view of Wat Arun Room is spacious Cons: The hotel is in a valley, a car will not be able to drop you off at the front. It must drop you off before the valley and you must walk 1-2 mins to reach hotel Difficult to book grab and taxi for them to drop you off and pick-up. Hotel has no elevator The hotel will change your towels, but they never change out bed sheets. We had our bed same sheet for 3 nights, Nasty. Be careful where you put your towels, they charge you extra is they cant find it. Scam likely to get those extra $$. Breakfast was not that great The room, even though AC was on. The room still felt mid - hot never cold throughout Stay for the view and experience, I will never stay again at this part of bangkok

Love it. Magnificent Wat Arun view.

Stayed here for the view. My genuine suggestion to all is to choose here if you simply want to enjoy the magnificence of Wat Arun and don’t want to pay the premium price for the more prestigious hotel nearby. You get unblocked panorama river view right from your own balcony - no partial view, no overlooking someone else’s roof, no Wat Arun between buildings, no need for roof top bar. Deliver or take away food and drinks to the room and create your own balcony bar! Have fun ;) And while you are sipping your sabai sabai, stick your head out of the balcony, look downstairs, to your left and to your right, you see all those people swarming around, holding their phones, posing and smiling, you know you are at the right place. Room and toilet are spacious and clean. Furniture is showing signs of aging ans there are no signs of luxury but we couldn’t care less as everything is functional and the bedding is fresh and comfortable. Staff is very kind and helpful. They brought welcome drinks and fruits right before the sunset so we got to enjoy the dusk with an added touch of delight. As I was travelling with my mom, they provided extra bedding for free so I can use the sofa bed. For those who hate stairs, beware there’s no lift. In fact they do have a lift but it’s only big enough to transport luggage. Guests have to take stairs. My mom is over 60 yo and we stayed at third floor. It wasn’t an issue for her. Proximity to Wat Pho means we got to visit there in early morning, avoiding the crowd. Breakfast is ordered thru a menu and quality is good that we kinda regretted we didn’t order dinner from them the evening before.

Arguably, we had the best view of any hotel room at Bangkok! Excellent service and highly recommend it.

Nice hotel with good breakfast and good location
