10/10 Excellent
"The staff were all very helpful. We were able to get an early check in (for a small fee) and late check out which was extremely helpful. They also let us store our luggage when our flight was delayed. The location is very central yet our room was quiet and we had no problem sleeping. The hotel shuttle is nice for getting to local sight seeing. We also added on the breakfast which was great and a nice stress free way to stay the morning."

"We stayed in a studio room because this was all that was available and their sister property was all booked. The room is small, very small, but once you get everything organized it works. Beds are comfortable. We were not bothered by outside noise. Lot’s of hot water. It has cosy roof top restaurant provided breakfast, lunch and supper. Very friendly and helpful staff who speak English very well. What is most spectacular is the location. Right on the water, in walking distance to Grand Palace Wat Arun, Wat Pho, There is a hop on hop off ferry station five minutes away. It is in-expensive to buy a day pass for unlimited use. Within minutes you can be a Khao San ( street food site), Chinatown, Flower Market an an iconique shopping center if your into those."
