Great location being walking distance to the palace, reclining buddha, short ferry ride to Wat Arun temple. Staff were very friendly , ask for a room on the river fantastic view of the temple. Rooms were clean and of a good size. Breakfast was great and of good size. HINT catch the ferry as easier and cheaper.

If you are not a backpacker and are looking for a small and intimate hotel close to the temples, you must stay here. The location is just on the water across the temple of dawn and do ask for a room with a river view. You must! Rooms are good size, nicely decorated and the service is friendy. WiFi is... More

Fantastic view of Bangkok river specially an old temple across the river located on the edge of the BKK river. Go before 1830 to see the sunset and the temple lit up. Service is good but drinks are a bit more than usual. Gin and tonic at £5 each. All in all a must to do.

We stayed in the suite for 5 days and it was beautiful however there were some maintenance issues which was disappointing as the price was quite high so were our expectations. There were renovations going on next door which the management had no control over. After complaining about the noise starting at 6am and telling staff we wished to leave... More

The Sala Arun will not warm your heart on first site. It's within Old Bangkok's working markets. As a westerner, it may cause second thoughts at first sight. But don't judge the book by it's cover. Inside the hotel is beautiful and quaint. We stayed in the Sala Suite for the the view of the Temple of Dawn and it... More

Sala Arun is located at the end of a small soi right opposite the grand palace. It is within walking distance of some of the best sights in Bangkok, including Wat Pho, and a very short ferry rode across the river to Wat Arun. Our room had an amazing view of Wat Arun. Most nights we spent some time sat... More
