Inn a Day

Wat Arun View Hotel был отелем, которого я больше всего ждал в своей поездке в Таиланд.Номер был очень удобным, а вид был таким же хорошим, как на фотографиях. Лифта не было, но я оставил свой багаж утром, поэтому, когда я заселялся, его занесли в номер заранее, и это было здорово, во многом благодаря доброму персоналу. Я пропустил его, потому что не знал, что он включает завтрак, поэтому я не могу комментировать завтрак, но кажется, что ресторан на первом этаже уже известен как ресторан рядом с королевским дворцом. Рядом также есть причал для водных лодок, поэтому было весело покататься на водной лодке, а не на такси.

I really love this family run boutique inn. It has so much character and you really feel immersed in old Bangkok. The design is interesting and meaningful. Sure, it looks good for the 'gram, but more importantly it feels authentic. This is my second time staying here and I hope to return for future trips to Bangkok. The family who manages it is so kind. They are quiet and give you as much space as you want, but are also readily available to help out in any way. They give honest insider advice, so you can be sure you're in good hands. The rooms are character filled. The bed and pillows are truly the most comfortable I've had in Thailand. The views over the river are out of this world. While there is construction on the pier in front, there is no noise at all. There is just a green transparent fabric shade over the construction, but if it gets in the way of your photos from your room window / balcony you can go to the top floor of the hotel to take unobstructed photos from the open lounge space. Other reviewers have mentioned the rooms are a bit dark - it's true there isn't much by way of artificial lighting, but the natural light from the windows overlooking the river is usually sufficient. There is a console shelf in the room I stayed in (4pm) that I used as a laptop desk. Many of the hotels in the area have a restaurant or cafe between them and the river, or they have a rooftop restaurant, which means there is a bit of noise. Here the rooms are truly riverfront, and the public restaurant is on the main floor, so the rooms are quite peaceful aside from the boat noises, which I enjoy. The breakfast is also delicious and very filling.

This boutique hotel is in the perfect location! Walk to Wot Pho and The Grand Palace and take the ferry across to Wat Arun. There are fabulous rooftop bars only an alley away but definitely come back to eat at the hotel as the food is sensational. Our room, 1.00pm had stunning views across to Wat Arun but pack some ear plugs if you are a light sleeper as, though the barges by day and dinner cruises by night make a great visual spectacle, they are a little noisy. The family operating the inn are also so friendly and helpful.
