I enjoyed my stay at Sala Rattanakosin, especially for its amazing views of Wat Arun from the rooftop, which I found truly stunning. However, I was disappointed by a few aspects including the room size and some wear and tear. The check-in process was slightly inconvenient due to the location and lack of direct vehicle access, and I noticed an unpleasant odor in the lobby area. Overall, it's a lovely place for the views, but the stay itself could be improved. 🌅

The rooms are small and show signs of wear, with chipped paint and worn furniture. Room service was hindered by a lack of surface space to eat on, and I often ended up dining on my bed.

I had an very nice stay at Sala Rattanakosin Bangkok, highlighted by the stunning views of Wat Arun. The location is perfect for exploring nearby temples but can be a bit challenging to find at first. While the breakfast was fantastic, the absence of an elevator made getting around a bit tricky, especially for higher floors. Overall, it was a nice experience that I would highly recommend.

I stayed in the Wat Arun River View Suite, and the lovely views through the floor-to-ceiling windows blew me away. The suite was beautifully designed, and the large tub was a lovely touch for relaxing with a glass of wine. However, be sure to check which room you are booking, as some don't have great views.

The hotel is ideally located along the Chaopraya River, just steps away from Wat Arun and a short walk to other attractions like Wat Pho and the Grand Palace. Although it's situated in a busy area with some construction, the river view is really good and worth it for exploring the historic sites.
