Definitely recommended this place for the price we got (about 550 thb for two people per night), if you are open to some southeast asian charme.
The garden is absolutely stunning to chill and have some drink after a day of exploring. The view on the river is also great. But the room itself is a little old-fashioned. You'll have a good (air conditioned) night and be able to wash yourself, but don't expect everything to be squeaky clean and be ready for the miscellaneous ant or other bug here or there.
Would go again if I could

This property was perfectly positioned for our stay. The view across the river is lovely and the garden is well kept and a lovely space to relax in.
The room had everything we needed.
Very nice property in a stunning location with a beautiful riverside garden.
Rooms are basic but comfortable, hotel is in a great location for bars and restaurants in the area.
Only downside is the rooms don't have a fridge.
Good Hotel for short stay. Lovely Garden to relax on the River. Staff very welcoming. Great Menu at cheap prices. Room walls very thin. Consign We would stay here again.

Would recommend shopping around the area.
Excellent location and restaurant right on the river. No refrigerator, paper thin walls and had to ask for towels, no room cleanup.
Nice friendly hotel, good location and lovely staff. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay

Chambre équipée à minima mais en correspondance avec le prix de la nuitée, cependant la jolie chambre en bois montrée sur les photos n'était pas pour nous....
Par contre, emplacement plein centre très pratique, et malgré tout en retrait du bruit de la rue car au fond d'une ruelle.
Le jardin semble très bien tenu et est très agréable et apaisant.
Accueil moyen.
