Personally, I think this place needs some refurbishment, but it's definitely a lovely place with lots of history & character. The only part that we think is worth our money was the garden area and your excellent team for giving us absolutely great hospitality.P/S: I actually had the worst massage experience at your hotel. We spent about 5,000 baht for 2 people, 2 hours massage. It was a torturous two hours despite me telling the masseur to soften her strength countless times. I did not give her a tip, and her tonality and behaviour changed after that. I actually came home with a back sore due to the massage at your hotel.

Nice for a quick stop. Lovely pool area and relatively quiet location for Bangkok. I would request a room on the bottom floor not close to the road. Breakfast was excellent but expensive at 300thb Would return.

We had the worst experience at this hotel, would not stay here even if they offered it for free. When we arrived there - the room etc looked fine. Fast forwards half an hour; our room was facing the main street with no sound proofing of windows, you could literally hear everything. It overlooks a very busy street so all night long there is a lot of noise, we asked them to change the room as the noise was very bothersome (we booked the mattane executive) and they said they would charge 1000 bahts extra for the exact same room but without the noise (?!?) if you check the price on the website the difference between the garden view (which is what was offered to us for the extra price) and city view is around 200 Bahts, but because they knew we were so unhappy with it, they hiked up the charges, knowing that we would likely pay the difference, even though on the website (their own official one) the price difference is much less. I am convinced that this is how they make most of their money, because nobody would be happy living in that room, so they show a lower price on their website and upcharge you when you get there, knowing you will ask for that room to be changed. It was borderline scam behaviour. Also, if you check older reviews, people have been complaining about the noise for the last 2-3 years; so they know it’s a problem but are unbothered about fixing it. We didn’t check all the reviews before booking, so unfortunately suffered the consequences.The breakfast was also below average, the sheets smelled and there was a musty, uncleaned odour in the room, and there were mosquitoes as well. We checked out a night early (we were booked for two days) they didn’t offer to refund us the money, knowing full well that it was definitely the fault of the hotel. The staff seemed unbothered (which makes me believe that this happens quite a lot, people leaving and them keeping the money) they didn’t ask what the issue was, why we were checking out early, simply nothing. It was the weirdest experience we’ve had with a hotel. I’m surprised that this hotel is considered five stars, ive stayed in a three star hotel with much better service and amenities.So don’t let the reasonable price fool you, even if you book the garden view they are starting construction on their pool so you will still likely wake up from the noise, and they will not refund you nor change your room if you have an issue. I’ve stayed at many hotels in my life, and this has got to be the worst experience I have ever had - please save your money and don’t stay here. It is also extremely far from everything, and there is no public transport nearby other than the ferries, so you will be spending a fortune on taxis as well.I have stayed in four different hotels in Thailand, ranging from 3-5 stars, and we’ve had a lovely experience everywhere; but this place really ruined our initial experience of Bangkok, as we ended up booking another hotel at a much higher price because it was so last minute.PS - the cleaning staff was lovely, and this isn’t directed towards any of them.

Disappointed: certainly we didn't pay very much but for a 5-star establishment on booking, we expected to have a room at least with a window, more spacious (once the suitcases were opened, more room to move around), with non-mouldy joints in the bathroom and hot water at the sink.That said, swimming pool and perfect breakfast!Location a little far from the center and restaurants. Taxi required.

Be careful, don't take the room without a window, we were fooled. Not really soundproofing, as soon as someone passes in the corridor, we are woken up. On the other hand, the hotel garden is a true haven of peace

Jam Lexusman lunch with Mom . I've driven by for 10 years and never knew it was a hotel and had a small restaurant. Delicious Thai food, good taste, like a big hotel. Beautiful food decoration The price is not very expensive, reasonable price, beautiful place, well taken care of. Every staff member provides excellent service like a five-star hotel.Papaya salad rice is very delicious. and try Khanom Jeen Nam Prik The taste is sweet in the style of Khanom Jeen Nam Prik. Next day I'll come try some other items.Great, great, great.

We spent a week at the Rawakeenlaya and had a fantastic experience. Breakfast buffet is tasty and well priced, however the dinner menu was a standout. The quality and variety is exceptional. We enjoyed a massage at the spa which is also of a very high quality. Rooms are tidy and well appointed. The highlight of our stay was certainly the staff. They were super attentive and so friendly. If you are looking for a boutique hotel experience outside the chaos of the city, I would highly recommend staying at the Rawakeenlaya.

Comfortable bed, very friendly and helpful staff.Without a doubt one of the best stays in Thailand.However, if you are looking for leisure and gastronomy in the area, it is not the best location.For the rest, a 10.

Went to use the restaurant service in the Workation Tea Time Break program during Mother's Day. Meals are for 2 people. In the set there is a choice of both tea and coffee. The food is both savory and sweet. Arranged beautifully It is an ancient food that is hard to find in general restaurants, such as watermelon and dried fish, an appetizer that is moist and mellow in itself, ma hor, golden bag, golden krathong, fresh shrimp bao pia, sticky snacks, finished with syrupy water in a glass cup. A little adds more flavor to the food.
