Arun Residence

“stunning view”

The view. The view from The restaurant is stunning. You can have the great river view from all tables. The whole building is in wooden construction with taste. I went to the restaurant and found out they are a hotel with four to five rooms. A good place to visit for meals.

“Comfortable boutique hotel”

Arun Residence used to be a quiet, quaint boutique hotel on the river. That was 10 or so years ago. The area is now very busy and the building has been substantially redeveloped.

Arun Residence used to be a quiet, quaint boutique hotel on the river. That was 10 or so years ago. The area is now very busy and the building has been substantially redeveloped. Now, the hotel is almost a sideline to the restaurant and bar extending over 4 levels which attract many outside patrons.The accommodation is still good with each unit providing comfortable accommodation spread over several levels - although the stairs, banisters and balustrades in the units would raise safety concerns in many countries. The restaurant food is good and the staff were generally attentive. The view across the river to Wat Arun is a highlight.

“Convenient but a little odd”

This little hotel is a bit odd in its design and room layout. Our room was two-story with the bed upstairs and the bathroom down some narrow and winding stairs.

This little hotel is a bit odd in its design and room layout. Our room was two-story with the bed upstairs and the bathroom down some narrow and winding stairs. When we opened the drapes on our bedroom window we saw the outdoors, but also the downstairs lobby, so we left it closed. The bed was comfortable and the location convenient to the river, but this isn't somewhere I'd want to hang out. Good if you want to be near the river for boat rides and temple visits.

“A sanctuary with a spectacular view and lovely room. Services are secondary. It's not 4-star. It's at most 3.5”

I'm pretty sure this is the only room available in the complex, which is mostly a restaurant. The food is pretty good, and of course you're paying for the location. The suite is quite nice, with a large bathroom. The view and balcony is one of the best in the world. This is somewhere I'd stay once … more

I'm pretty sure this is the only room available in the complex, which is mostly a restaurant. The food is pretty good, and of course you're paying for the location. The suite is quite nice, with a large bathroom. The view and balcony is one of the best in the world. This is somewhere I'd stay once or twice for that purpose, and don't forget Wat Pho and Wat Phra Keow are at the end of the Soi. The staff are more focussed on the restaurant and this belongs to a group of three hotels/restaurants in the area. You can specify breakfast, but that requires a quick walk two blocks to another location where the options are very limited. In effect, you're here for the view and location. The food and service and secondary. Also, there's no parking. Tip: There's no lift, and with young children/older people the stair climb can be brutal. Make sure you tip the staff member that carries your luggage up and down.
