“Great hotel and very peaceful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012

We stayed 3 nights here on a first visit to Bangkok. We have two daughters with us 17 and 20 years old and travel often. We had connecting rooms which were very nice and allowed us plenty of room. The location was great for us. Away from the noise and activities of downtown but easily accessible to everything with the riverboat and skytrain. The buffet breakfast was outstanding and had something for everyone.
The pool area was nice and the service great. We would definately stay here again.

“Must do the Klong Guru Tour”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012

I didn't actually stay at the hotel, as i live in Bangkok however i did recently book a tour that they run from the resort. The Klong Guru Tour. I had my mum staying and she was wanting to visit the Klongs (small canals) of Bangkok.The tour was fabulous and it ended up being private as we were the only 2 on the tour, however the long tail boat looked like it could probably only take 8 people at a time anyway. Khun Peter (the Klong Guru) is great, a pleasure to spend the day with and is very knowledgeable, offering history and insight, without talking at you the whole day. We had a lovely day and saw parts of Bangkok that we had no idea existed, away from the touristy areas. It was a charming insight into Bangkok life on the Klongs and a must do if you are looking to do something with some authenticity & charm.

“Perfect for those who wants a quiet resort-style getaway in Bangkok without sacrificing convenience to sights and sounds.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012

Located by the Chao Phraya river, the resort provides free ferry shuttle to the Saphan Taksin pier, where you can catch the express boat to Chinatown or take the BTS to the shopping centres - MBK, Siam, Pratunam and even Chatucak are all a train ride away. The nearby Asiatique (free ferry shuttle too) is also a fun place to while away the evening - loads of food and drink options, plus music and shopping (the city's homegrown Naraya has a branch there).

I've enjoyed my stay at the resort overall. Free wifi keeps me connected and staff are generally friendly. If I have to grouch about one, well two things, they'll be about housekeeping and egg service at breakfast.

While housekeeping did a great job cleaning up, none of the toiletries were replenished. We had request for replenishment each time. No big deal, just a tad troublesome when you're dead on your feet and just want a good soak or shower.

As for eggs, I love my eggs! Sadly, none of the cooks manning the stove were able to cook a decent omelette or fried egg sunny side up - they were either burnt, yolk disfigured or undercooked. But that aside, the breakfast buffet offers a good varity to start your day. Have a hearty start and you're set; at least until evening.

“Addicted”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 26, 2012

Simply looking for an excuse to get back. My wife and myself stayed here for three nights as part of a three destination holiday. On arrival we were giving a free upgrade to a junior suite, very nice.
Our concern that the hotel was a bit "out the way" were unfounded, the hotel has its own free shuttle boat that takesto and from the biz all day. The cleanliness, food,pool, bars & rooms were only exceeded by the staff, who were fantastic, every single one of them!!!
We went onto stay at the Anantara Hua Hin for six nights after here and its fair to say we will try to stay with Anantara if possible in the future.
