About the hotel: Aurum The River Place was an awesome find! It s recently remodeled, very clean and in an excellent location. A delicious breakfast was served every morning in a tropical garden setting right on the river. I would definitely stay here again!
About the reservation service: You can t go wrong using sawadee.com. Not only are their recommendations good but they are very efficient.I would definitely use their site again.
About the hotel: What a wonderful little hotel. Very quiet, clean, the staff is so friendly and all speak fairly good English. Don t miss the rooftop with a beautiful view of the harbor. The coffee shop next door has very good coffee and The Deck restaurant down the street was a treat.
About the reservation service: My friend who made all the reservations said Sawadee was excellent to work with and very responsive.
About the hotel: Aurum was perfect. If someone is looking for a fancy highrise with a posh swimming pool, this isn t it, but if they want LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION, this should be the ticket. The hotel was very clean, the staff was most helpful, breakfast was great,right by the Chao Praya River and the manager even referred me to a very fine jewelry store for some shopping. I would stay here again when I come back to Bangkok. It is only 1/4 mile from Wat Po and 1/2 mile from the Palace and right on the river.
About the reservation service: The booking service was wonderful. I had to make a change and they accomodated it with ease. I would use them again. thanks
About the hotel: Lovely hotel with friendly and helpful staff in a great location for the main tourist sites. Not loads of restaurants nearby but those we went to were very good and easy to get transport to other areas. Worth getting pick up from air port as not that easy to find for taxi drivers!
About the hotel: A really beautiful place with very very helpful staff but its location is a bit obscure; Taxi driver found dificult to find.Would be very helpful if the Hotel phone number was with address.Telephone Co said no listing of number!Setting for breakfast lovely fronting the river.
About the reservation service: No problem booking, but as said above Phone No; should always be included,as we had long delay flying in.
About the hotel: EXCELLENT location! Great place, very clean, very small but perfect for a short stay in Bangkok. Close to everything. Downtown Bangkok. right on the river. Perfect breakfast. Nothing negative to say. Would stay here again for sure!
About the hotel: Absolutely LOVED the place in every way: cleanliness, professionalism, hospitality (like being a special house guest), with a location near historical attractions (Royal Palace). Recommend having directions for taxi translated into THAI first, as is not easy to find initially, without prior knowledge. Ladies served us well in the selection of tourist services/sites/restaurants in Bangkok, and everything was perfect-- they were very accommodating. Place is updated, stylish, very clean/quiet/on the river/located near easy water transportation.
About the hotel: Exceptional hospitality, good location near historic touristic interests (Royal Palance), need directions translated into Thai for taxi drivers, close to river transportation, very clean stylish-updated accommodations. Classy. Personally accommodating and helpful with tourist needs (translations, scheduling events, recommendations, general welcome and help). Very professional and well-run place-great cost to value. Nice breakfast setting outside/associated with small coffee shop. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
About the reservation service: Very smooth/easy/quick/efficient
About the hotel: There are both good and bad commentary on this hotel. The good is that the room I stayed in was very clean and nicely appointed with large rain shower head and marble lav. However the bad is that there is no staff to help with your bags, no bar or restaurant, and you are required to leave you key at the desk everytime you leave. Why this later picadillo of leaving key is so strictly enforced is bizarre to me. On top of that the hotel has only ten channels to pick from. Now in this day of electronics, satelites etc, why they don t have a large selection doesn t make sense. The hotel management needs to wake up and either charge less for their rooms or provide the sercies expected for a room that is in the 100 dollar per day range. I will never return
About the hotel: This was a lovely place to stay - right by the river, within easy walking distance of the Grand Palace and various Wats. The area was quiet at night. Breakfast out on the patio was pleasant.
The staff were very helpul, friendly and professional. The room was very clean and comfortable - lots of marble. We definitely recomend it.
