Arun Riverside Bangkok Reviews

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

The staff at the hotel are all so lovely. You can order food, bottled water, or a bucket of ice anytime before 10 PM, just let them know. They'll even call a Grab car for you and walk you to it. It's not far, only about 250 meters from the main road, but the alley is narrow and a popular spot for people to take photos with the pagoda, often dressed in traditional Thai costumes. It's so cute!

Stunning view, absolutely amazing! I would definitely stay here again if I return to 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.

The breakfast was delicious.

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

So, a boutique hotel with a few rooms in the historic center of Bangkok, opposite Wat Arun. It's generally good. Pros: - Cleanliness: clean, okay. They ask every day if housekeeping is needed—well, it seems like it is, but when they ask, it's like it's not. I didn't understand that part... - Staff: helpful, friendly, professional, I have no complaints. - Beautiful view from the room: overlooking the river, Wat Arun—everyone comes there to take photos. - Breakfast a la carte: normal, standard. What you need to be prepared for: - All life in the area stops at 10:00 PM. There's one bar open until 12:00 PM, and that's it! A couple of other food stalls... Bottom line: if you want to quietly explore the historic center and go to bed, this is the place for you! If you want to party, head closer to the center. Overall, a good, standard boutique hotel.

The manager is very kind and all the staff are very kind and nice!!! I will go again!!!

The accommodation was beautiful and the staff provided excellent service. I will definitely stay there again.

A wonderful place with a gorgeous view of the temple, both from the room and from the rooftop where the bar and restaurant are located. The location is in the very center, close to many attractions. Breakfasts are a la carte, fast and tasty, vegetables, fruits, meat, everything is there. Thank you for the stay.

The room is facing the Arun Temple, the view is great, the room is large and clean, and the service staff is very nice. The air conditioner is really loud. I woke up in the early morning and had to lower the air volume before I could fall asleep. The room price is also a bit high. Everything else is good.

I'll just watch the night view of Wat Arun all night, eat breakfast, and that's it... I'll turn a blind eye to the aging facilities and soundproofing.
