ヒランヤクル ハウス リバーサイド

Very beautiful old-style house and rooms, located right by the river in a small, quiet alley. The view from the balcony is stunning. However, the bed was a bit hard, and the shower head was positioned quite low – I’m 177 cm tall, and it was only at shoulder/chest height. The restaurant is rather pricey, with average food and portion sizes, so I wouldn’t recommend eating there. Just a two-minute walk to the right of the hotel, directly on the riverside, there’s a decent alternative restaurant worth trying. Still, I would happily come back for another stay.

Our party of three stayed for a one-night staycation. The riverside location is great. We had two river view suites - one was good, the other disappointing. Neither had showers, and getting into the bathtub was a feat of agility - definitely not advisable for anyone with mobility issues. Like the rest of the hotel, both rooms showed their age but were at least clean. Our biggest disappointment was the staff, especially at reception - they were either catatonic or aggressive. We've experienced fantastic customer service at so many places in Thailand, but it seems this has yet to catch on at Hiranyakul.
