Rosegarden is more than a hotel. The hotel is located in a beutiful park just next to the river and you can choose to live in the main building or in bungalows which are spread across the big land area. The place makes you relax automatically, you can sit in the park and watch boats go by on the river or just walk around and enjoy the calm.

I would really recomend the restarant that is situated separately with a view over the river, excellent thai food and good prices. What I would avoid is the big buffe restaurant which is overpriced. Buy entrance to the elephant and thai show at the hotel for a discounted price. The show is very touristic but for kids it is fun to see.

My wife really enjoyed the possibility to buy homemade soap and some other locally created goods.

I will go here again to relax over a weekend and enjoy the scenery. The hotel has four stars but really is closer to five stars than three.

If you want action and attractions in Bangkok this is not the hotel for you.

Went to my son's wedding there and stayed for the weekend. It's in large botanical grounds with a long drive way and several security gates and guards. There's a lake in the middle which has several Thai houses surrounding it, which you can rent. There's a river flowing next to the hotel. There's a Thai Wedding house next to the lake and another building referred to as the Japanese house...it looks very Japanese, but I'm unclear what its real purpose is/was. There are flowers and fauna and a collection of elephants which people come from far and wide to see ( and ride).
The exterior of the hotel is L shaped and 10 storeys high. its a bit weathered on the outside. There's a good quality outdoor tennis court and an excellent outdoor pool and large jacuzzi. The pool furniture is likwise a bit weathered and needs updating. The interior is fine and the rooms i.e. the De Luxe was very very spacious...with a big walk-in shower. TV's a bit old hat, but frankly that's not what I was there for. There are a couple of restaurants and a Thai market in the grounds with a few small touristy shops, plenty of present buying stuff available. There's little or no hassle which is always welcome. The food in the restaurant was good with a fair choice. The courses arrived a tad randomly, starters not always at the beginning, but they meant well! It's reasonably priced .The setting for the wedding was brilliant and my son had a very traditional Thai service, several hours long and Buddhist monks incuded...very good indeed. The party in the grounds after was also excellent. The staff in the hotel were pretty well all very good, very friendly accommodating and not pushy, just nice people...I'm actually hard to please so my compliments are hard-earned. On the down side there was some minor external works going on, JCB etc, but it was bearable, but better without it! All-in-all I'd recommend the place esp if you're looking for a wedding location.

We had no expectations towards this hotel. We only wanted to spend few nights near Bangkok and head to river Kwai and continue our travel to Cha am.

It took about 1,5-2 hours to reach hotel from Bangkok airport. From hotel it took about 1,5 hours to get to river Kwai and two hours to Cha am.

Room was spacious even with extra bed and baby cot. Only thing I did not like was fitted carpet. I loved the lemongrass soap! They sold shampoo, soap etc. in the hotel lobby.

Hotel is not new and there are signs of wear and tear. But it was clean and specially lobby area was nice.

Environment was beautiful and garden huge. We enjoyed beautiful river view from the restaurant. Children's outside play area was big and nice. There would have been many things to see.
