Arun Residence

This is a boutique hotel, so it comes with those kinds of quirks. You're not going to get perfect concierge service, or staff that are able to do everything. But you're going to get a nice quiet location with a great view. If you want to do business you may want to look elsewhere. The WiFi needs a complete re-build and was unusable to me every evening I was in the hotel. (The hotel did apologize and offer a discount on my stay) The walls and wooden floors carry noise from the other rooms, the rooftop bar and the neighbors. So be prepared if you are a light sleeper. I was woken at dawn by someone beating on the doorbell next door and the family stomping around their apartment. I'm also unclear if the building and rooms have ever dried out. After 2 separate stays I've returned home to find all my clothes feel slightly damp. But perhaps you can't do much with a house over the river in Bangkok. Like others have noted, the A/C is inscrutable, there seems to be no way to change the fan speed, it's just "blow hard" if the A/C is on. All in all it leaves me conflicted about the location. I really want to keep staying here, but not if I have to get work done while I'm at the hotel.
