Sala Arun♡

Beautiful view

10.0

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. The hallway is older but we were not staying in the hallway so it doesn't matter because once in the room it was updated and very nice. Breakfast was included and sufficient. I would recommend to others if looking for this experience. Also close to Palace and Reclining Buddha and we took a cheap tuktuk to other attractions.

Mesmerizing View of Wat Arun, especially at sunset

The location is great. I will list all the pros first. 1. best view of Wat Arun on one side of the hotel and the Grand Royal Palace on the opposite side 2. Roof top bar is cozy and wait staff are wonderful 3. Rooms are clean as is the bathroom 4. The sheets and the duvet are the silkiest and softest of any hotel we have stayed at. we would stay again just because the sheets were that great! We have stayed at high end luxury hotels and resorts with scratchy sheets. Sala Arun has the best comfy bed and best sheets and duvet ever. We were in room 801 so I do not know if all rooms have the same quality bed 5. Breakfast inckudes egg choice or Asian Boiled rice with chicken or shrimp...both delicious choices though the buffet has only two boxed cereal choices plus fresh fruit, juices, and pain au chocolate and croissants. 6. View rooms are more expensive, we chose not to have a good view as we could enjoy it on the roof Cons: 1. Stairs, no lift. We do not mind, I am 75 and I like stairs, exercise to me 2. TV we had the staff show us how to get channels, but we were not able to get TV channels later 3. The bar manager or the man who seemed to be the bar manager on the roof, had a very very loud voice and he made the evenings happy hour UNHAPPY and Unromantic, Staff were wonderful but in Thai culture, staff cannot send a complaint to a manager, especially if the manager IS the complaint. So we enjoyed one evening of our multiple day stay at this roof top bar and then we went next door to the other roof top bar with not as perfect a view of Wat Arun, but very good, because it was quiet and romantic, In fact, if you sat closer to the wall of the Sala Arun roof top bar, you could hear that man's loud voice!!!

Stink!

This hotel has a great location, close to Grand Palace and Wat Pho (home of the reclining Buddha) and overlooks the river and Wat Arun. The breakfast was good and on a terrace by the river, and the Eagles nest bar was very popular, but very expensive! The next door hotel had a nicer rooftop bar and was much cheaper. The room was comfortable, but starting to look tired. The staff were helpful when we had no hot water and fixed it quickly.

Best view, poor service

6.0

This hotel serves an amazing view of wat Arun however the service and quality require more to be done. The sunrise from the room is just amazing and the rooms are okay kitted with looking tired and desperately needing refreshing. No breakfast included however the restaurant on the ground floor is pretty decent. Staff were very transactional as asked to contact booking.com for the problems regarding incorrect room being allocated (not as described in the pictures)

Start the trip when you are in Bangkok!

I expect to bring my parents to stay and enjoy view opposite Wat Arun. It’s brought first night impression to our family. My children really enjoy the stay. We stay in Deluxe Room which has amazing view as we expected. Nothing you need more. Staff are so gentle and helpful. Price is acceptable. Eagle’s Nezt Bar has stunning view and drink options. Once you visit Bangkok, I recommend starting the stay at this location.
