Arun Residence

This little hotel is a bit odd in its design and room layout. Our room was two-story with the bed upstairs and the bathroom down some narrow and winding stairs. When we opened the drapes on our bedroom window we saw the outdoors, but also the downstairs lobby, so we left it closed. The bed was comfortable and the location convenient to the river, but this isn't somewhere I'd want to hang out. Good if you want to be near the river for boat rides and temple visits.

Location was perfect – walking distance to public transit (Sanam Chai MRT, Chao Phraya Tourist Boat) and major attractions (Wat Pho, Wat Arun, Grand Palace). View of Wat Arun from the room (there are only two rooms!) and rooftop bar was spectacular, be it in the daytime, at sunset, or at night. The complimentary welcome drink at the rooftop bar was a nice touch. Staff was friendly and mostly helpful. Do be aware that there is no secure storage for left luggage (prior to check-in/after check-out) and one should be in decent physical shape to ascend/descend flights of narrow stairs inside the split-level room as well as outside the room. The room was otherwise clean, tastefully decorated, and well-stocked with amenities.

I'm pretty sure this is the only room available in the complex, which is mostly a restaurant. The food is pretty good, and of course you're paying for the location. The suite is quite nice, with a large bathroom. The view and balcony is one of the best in the world. This is somewhere I'd stay once or twice for that purpose, and don't forget Wat Pho and Wat Phra Keow are at the end of the Soi. The staff are more focussed on the restaurant and this belongs to a group of three hotels/restaurants in the area. You can specify breakfast, but that requires a quick walk two blocks to another location where the options are very limited. In effect, you're here for the view and location. The food and service and secondary. Also, there's no parking. Tip: There's no lift, and with young children/older people the stair climb can be brutal. Make sure you tip the staff member that carries your luggage up and down.

The view. The view from The restaurant is stunning. You can have the great river view from all tables. The whole building is in wooden construction with taste. I went to the restaurant and found out they are a hotel with four to five rooms. A good place to visit for meals.

我是從紐約時報上萌生出到這裏住宿的想法的,儘管他們僅對這裏的餐廳進行了評論（這裡是一流的,而且當地居民不需要預訂）,不過也提到,有一些房間也還是可以住宿的。 我們並沒有失望。房費很合理,房間是閣樓式的風格,很不錯。 這裏最吸引人的地方是它的地理位置:真實泰國生活的中心。酒店的隔壁就是普通的泰國“房屋”…更像是在牆上鑿了幾個洞。路過那裡的時候,你能瞥見他們的起居室,清晨能聽到他們的雞叫聲,還能看到那些滿臉迷茫的街邊小商販。你不是住在曼谷的富人區,但是這裡是真實的曼谷。而且這附近還有很多主景點:卧佛,皇宮,阿倫寺。 如果你足夠有錢,願意花費其他房間兩倍的錢住到頂層的套間,就能有一個陽台欣賞河對岸的美景了。

我們的出租車帶我們朝小河來到難以形容的曼谷航線。衹有當我們進入大廳以後,我們才確信我們來對了地方。這裏符合或超過了我們在旅程顧問建議上看到的期望。由於房間的大門被打開——是在Ratchapruek套房——我們驚奇地發現這裏美麗的佈局和裝修。在陽台可以俯瞰到河流和鄭王廟,很適合在一天的旅程結束以後放鬆一下。這裏到河的輪渡站衹要5分鐘路程,這是一個遊覽城市的有趣和非常划算的交通方式,繞過了繁忙的交通。由於現在緊張的政治局勢,我們被忠告遠離Silom/暹羅廣場地區,但顯然我們並沒有錯過購物區。 工作人員非常友好和樂於助人。甚至還包了水果盤讓我們清晨去趕飛機時帶上。一次很難忘的經歷。

我們在茉莉花套房住了三晚。在入住酒店登記的時候我們確實不得不等了一會。房間既漂亮又乾淨整潔。無線網絡覆蓋得很好。我們能看到鄭王廟令人驚歎的景象，同時我們離卧佛寺和大皇宮也衹有步行的距離。這個地方是非常有趣的，乘小船穿過鄭王廟也是很簡單的事。餐廳非常棒，但是我們還是想要有更多當地特色的選擇。總體來説，這是一個位於河上的精品酒店。
