“A very nice Airport hotel”

We were initially booked in another hotel, but since there's was a problem in the room intended for us, we were shifted into this hotel. And we could not have been gladder! Hotel Aranta is wonderful. We were given a room on the fourth floor overlooking the swimming pools (yes, there are two pools side by side). There are a lot of palm trees along the swimming pools which add to the general happy atmosphere. The best feature of the hotel is its restaurant which is located by the side of a river. A lovely setting. The staff is very polite and helpful (except the lady at the checkin counter at night who looks as if she had swallowed a fly!). The hotel is about 15 minutes drive from BKK Airport which is serviced by the hotel shuttle. The shuttle leaves the hotel every hour on the hour and charges TBH 200 Per room. It is advisable to take a Grab taxi for similar amount if the shuttle timings don't suit you.

“More professional service needed at reception”

A lovely sedate location. To eat breakfast overlooking the canal is theraputic. The evening meal was delicious. Check in late at night was smooth but the receptionist was most interested in getting the payment rather than taking time to explain procedures and available facilities. I was just told to refer to the information book in the room. Most crucially, I was not not told if I ordered a coffee or anything else from the restaurant in the morning, this was extra to the breakfast already included in my room Poor. I'd still stay there again though. It's a basic hotel with a convenient location to the airport

Good for an overnight stay before flying back home . Staff were kind and friendly. Room was ok , but no safe ! Restaurant was ok , a little overpriced but the pizza was excellent, and service was quick and easygoing. Breakfast was basic but lovely setting by a river . Only 10 minutes from airport in normal traffic and hotel seems to be close to markets and shops . Shower didn’t have much hot water ! Public areas a little tired but clean. Very good for the price .

“Good for a stop on route to airport but breakfast needs a lot of rethinking ”

We only stopped for 1 night so that we could break up our return journey home. The hotel staff were welcoming and helpful. We booked the shuttle (200baht) for the airport only 10 mins away and we extended our room until 5pm (100 baht per hour so 500 altogether) which was definitely worth it with a … more

We only stopped for 1 night so that we could break up our return journey home. The hotel staff were welcoming and helpful. We booked the shuttle (200baht) for the airport only 10 mins away and we extended our room until 5pm (100 baht per hour so 500 altogether) which was definitely worth it with a 2am flight (which was actually delayed and cancelled in the end). Luggage storage is also available until you leave. The room was large with a balcony overlooking the pool, no safe, tea and coffee facilities provided but only soap and shampoo on the wall in the shower it would have been good to have soap by the sink. Be sure to only drink the 2 bottles of water from the fridge everything else is chargeable, you can top up your bottles at breakfast. The hotel is down a side street off a very busy road, there is a crossing both to the left and right around 10 minutes walk, one way to market land (street food and stalls) and the other to paseo mall ( more street food and stalls not more than 2 hours spent here if you eat). As we arrived so late we just ate in the hotel restaurant which is overpriced but the food was tasty. ( 500 baht for 3 meals no drinks...beer is a ridiculous price go to the nearest shop instead). The breakfast was quite honestly rubbish the choice was shocking. We had to almost beg to be made a fresh fried egg ( no other type of egg only fried was allowed) as the ones in the dish were dried up and awful. The whole choice was dried eggs, spring rolls, toast, watermelon, juice or tea and coffee with no fresh milk only coffee mate. No cereal or yoghurt or even other fruit. The worst breakfast we had in Thailand in 26 days. We did a couple of walks out during our last day and spent the remainder relaxing by the pool on 3 of the 4 sunbeds they have. Pool towels are provided if you ask. Pool was a fine temperature but could do with thorough cleaning. There is absolutely nothing to do after you eat dinner and are waiting to leave we just bought our own beer and sat in the room by the river with the fan on. It did its job for what we needed but I wouldn't spend any longer than 1 night here.
