Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I stay here twice in two different rooms with a couple of weeks of each other. The balcony room was great (dragon room). The other room I stayed in was a window room also dragon. I got a very good price with Agoda location is fantastic in the old part of Bangkok with river views. I could see the icon Siam from the balcony and the sunset right in front of me.. I travel light and walked from the mrt which took about 15 minutes. The rooftop bar restaurant is nice with also great views but you pay for the location. They should offer discounts to hotel guests IMO. The rooms I stayed in were clean and comfortable. It is an old building but retains great character and the rooms and hallways. They have free bicycles available to guests and I made use of one of them. Explored a big area. They don't have a lock so you need to be cautious as if it is stolen you will be responsible. I kept it within eyesight when I stopped to eat or take photos. There is a free ferry across to Icon Siam when I was there a short walk from the hotel. The only issue I had was I lost my room card and they kept my security deposit. Totally my fault but the cards cost very little I know this for a fact as I have worked in the industry but they kept the total deposit which was a bit much. I would definitely stay here on y next trip to Bangkok

It was a nightmare getting a grab car to pick us up. 7/10 drivers cannot find the hotel that you have to walk a few blocks to the main road to get picked up, which is a nightmare when you are hauling luggage. Bed sheets and towels are old and stained, they do not provide drinking water on a daily basis. Housekeeping staff seems disgruntled and the rooftop restaurant is currently closed due to renovations. Our AC was leaking due to condensation that we had to lay a towel on the floor. We booked three different rooms: Oriental Charm (no balcony) Dragon Move (balcony city view) and Sweet Breeze (balcony river view) The Dragon Move room was in the best condition out of the 3. The seabreeze has a nice view of the river that you can see the river cruise ships at night. Would not recommend staying here, find somewhere in the heart of Chinatown.

This hidden gem is a little difficult to find but worth the effort. We booked specifically for the roof bar view only to be told on arrival that it was closed. We did go and ha e a look and the view was amazing. Rooms are adequate and clean with great air conditioning. Book a balcony room. If available. Great location for walking with a few galleries nearby and Chinatown eating strip close by. Staff are friendly enough.

The only good thing with this hotel is the Riverview from 6th floor rooms. Otherwise the receptionists are totally uninterested in serving u. The restaurant River Vibe that before the Pandemic was a vibrant happy place with good prices food and drinks was now only expensive with bad service. Sorry to say but the feeling was very bad.

I had trouble finding this place. Its tucked away down a small ally. But friendly check-in and great river view from my room and from the rooftop bar it was totally worth it. Nice cool breeze from the river with some exceptionally good food and competitive prices for drinks. River bus runs near by and good access to the main train station. Would recommend.

We booked a double room with river view and aircon , affordable room. The views from the small balcony outside our room were great . The room could do with a proper clean but was liveable. The area is great to explore with your camera and the river shuttle to Iconsiam is 5 minutes walk away. The staff arranged a taxi to the airport for us - early book out at 5:30am Worth the price .

Me and my wife stayed here for 3 nights with a Riverview room and we weren’t disappointed. The views are great and even better from the rooftop. The breakfast is nice enough, but I felt the portion size could be a bit bigger. I would have given 5 stars but for the payment. I was told by them that payment would be taken in full before arriving but then got hit with the bill when checking in which was in my eyes is not great business.

Loved this place, clean basic rooms. Amazing view of the river from our room. Breakfast was good and the rooms quiet. Would recommend to anyone. A little hard to find via taxi is the only real issue however it is well sign posted

We stayed here for 3 nights. Originally we had planned two, but due to a change to our flight schedule, we ended up in Bangkok a night earlier than anticipated. The staff were very helpful about this and managed to give us our room one night earlier and even at a cheaper price. We had been recommended this place because of the view, so we had explicitly requested a room with river view. They are a bit pricier but still not expensive and we did not regret our choice at all. The small balcony was wonderful in the evenings, we had a fantastic view of Bangkok. The view from the rooftop terrace is obviously even better but their drinks are quite pricey for the neighborhood. The room was basic but clean and the air conditioning worked perfectly well. We also really loved the neighborhood. It's not where you'd expect a hotel at all and our taxi had some trouble navigating the narrow streets, but we very much enjoyed the lively, almost rural atmosphere of street kitchens, tiny, crowded houses and barely any tourists. The staff were very friendly and helpful as well. We would definitely recommend this place and stay here again.

We came here for some drinks and a wind down after the hubbub of the street. Nice views, good service and a very good island iced tea. I had the tom yum cocktail which was refreshing but spicy Time well spent.
