The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms, but we had to pay extra for another room while waiting for our check-in. The service was fine overall, with the Bell boys standing out positively, though some front desk behaviors were not the best. The location, while not near downtown and a bit far from shopping areas, is acceptable, especially being next to the river. The dining experience was adequate, but finishing early was inconvenient. The hotel's facilities were satisfactory.

My stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. The rooms, although not exactly as advertised with concrete and plastic chairs on the verandah, were big and spacious. However, we had to pay for an extra room to wait for ours to be ready. The internet was inconsistent between the room and the lobby/breakfast area.

I've stayed at this hotel three times now, and it's been a great experience overall. The rooms, although only having single beds, are comfortable and spacious with good quality furniture. The shower is excellent, and I appreciate that I had pre-paid for my room. One slight drawback is that upgrading to a bigger room can be quite expensive.

The hotel offers a variety of dining options with a nice buffet style featuring a huge selection of delicious food near the river. The rooms are spacious and clean, providing a comfortable stay. However, there are some issues regarding management skills with meal orders and uncertainties in responses to inquiries. The location is excellent for travelers who enjoy the express river ferry but may be a bit far from the bustling streets of Bangkok.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with a balcony view of the river, perfect for a family stay, although they are starting to show signs of wear and could use some refreshing. The service was accommodating despite some delays and language barriers. The location by the Chao Phraya river is excellent for those who enjoy river travel, offering both serenity and accessibility. Dining options are varied but slightly pricey, influencing some to opt for alternatives. Overall, a tranquil spot with great potential.

The hotel is a bit out of the way, providing peace and quiet, but far from centered Bangkok for convenient shopping. The rooms, while old and in need of sprucing up, were clean and comfortable. The service was top-notch, with attentive and helpful staff. Dining was lackluster with repetitive and limited options, pushing guests to opt for alternatives. The location, though secluded, offers panoramic views of the Chao Praya from the balcony. Overall, a mixed experience with room for improvement.
