Excellent location from the bedroom window I could see Wat Arum, and it was a spectacle. For the rest very disappointing breakfast very poor rooms with air conditioning that didn't work, cleanliness that left a lot to be desired. I would definitely not stay here again, the view fails to make up for the other notable shortcomings

Apart from the view, everything is up there.First of all, there is no elevator haha. So I divided my luggage in advance and organized only what I wanted to carry up, and they said they would bring me a persimmon. I felt sorry. There were only 6 rooms, so it was quiet. There were only 6 groups during breakfast. But the location was at the end of a narrow alley, so taxis couldn't come in. ㅠ Even if the luggage is heavy during construction, it's a problem in every way haha. You have to drag it yourself and carry it up 3 flights of stairs. The view is crazy. You can see Wat Arun at different times. It's a waste of money. You can get the best photo on the terrace. There's no need to go to Wat Arun. Breakfast is also special. None. There is no buffet, but they still deliver Khao Tom, fried rice, and eggs. Be sure to have Khao Tom. They give you a delicious welcome drink on the rooftop. I stay in my room, which is quiet, but when I go there, I get annoyed by outsiders who come to see the view haha. Drinks can be taken out. Come to your room and have it. If you don't like noise.

‘I like the air-conditioned seats on the 2nd floor’It's better not to have expectations about food.I went to Wat Arun View because I wanted to see the sunset!If the Eagle Nest open run is difficult or late, make a reservation or visit the site!You can watch it in a comfortable environment.It cost about 950 baht including fried rice + Pu Pat Pong curry + 1 bottle of beer + beverage tax.

Location and views to Wat Arun and Wat Pho are great! Breakfast (basic but not excellent as it is said in Agoda) and AC (pretty loud) could be better.

I went to the rooftop bar 90 minutes before sunset and it was a great decision.It gets very crowded just before sunset, so seats on the terrace are first come, first served.It's best to come early and take your time to enjoy the transformation of Wat Arun.Drinks and snacks are a little expensive, but you can have a wonderful time without worrying about it.

Actually, I went to the rooftop of a hotel called Eagle Nest Bar. The atmosphere is very nice. I really like it.

You stay here for the view of Wat Arun. We stayed in a 3rd floor room with Wet Arun view and balcony. The room was very nice and updated. It was also very clean. There is no elevator but staff carried our bags up the stairs.  …

Location: Good location, right in front of the Grand Palace and close to Khaosan Road and ICONSIAM. (10 minutes by tuk-tuk)Room: Somehow it's too dark... The view is great, but construction is on the 2nd floor, so I'm tired and want to rest, but I'm forced to wake up after hammering at 8 a.m. There's a rooftop bar above, so the sound of pounding footsteps makes it difficult even at night.As soon as I entered the bathroom, there was a sewer smell.It's not that bad, but the hotel itself just smells musty.Overall, most of the staff at the front desk were friendly, but I had to check out at 5 am and it wasn't 24 hours, so I just left my keys at the desk.I left it behind, and when I looked at the front door, there was a sign saying that people checking in late at night should call the night staff, so I called there, but they didn't answer.I wondered if I could just leave my keys and had no choice but to take a taxi, but about 10 minutes later I got a call. I explained the situation and said that I left my keys at the desk and checked out. I knew that I was tired because it was early in the morning, but I responded in a rude tone. ㅠㅜ Even though I said Cocoonca at the end, I just hung up on him. ㅗThis is not a hotel where you will stay for 3-5 nights during your trip to Bangkok.It is worth staying for one night on a day that includes the Grand Palace-Wat Arun Tour + Icon Siam + Khaosan Road.
