For tourist purposes, this was a great location with most of the main tourist sights within walking distance. The room is smaller than it appeared in the pictures - especially the bathroom. I was not a fan of all of the mirrors but I guess it does help make the room reel a little bigger. Our room did have an amazing view of Wat Arun across the river which is why I am giving this place 4 stars instead of three. It is located on little one-way street, and it seemed like we had to walk past a lot of garbage on the block to get to our hotel. In hindsight, I would have made the taxi driver take us to the front door of the hotel when we first arrived so we would have had a better first impression. The room was cleaner than it felt at first too. There was discoloration on the door and frame which may have been just a poor choice in paint colors. I wiped the room down with cleanup sheets, and it was still pretty clean afterwards. The toilet and shower in the small bathroom are separated by a shower curtain which also looked dirty. With all of the negative stuff out of the way, I have to say that the staff was amazingly helpful with any questions about the hotel, restaurants, and visiting the nearby sites. Speaking of restaurants, there two really good ones right across the street; Supanniga and Rongos. I have to say that if I were to return to Bangkok, I would try to find a more modern hotel in a different location.
