Hotéis em Bang Phlat, Bangkok

Prós: Love the staff, the elegance of the mansion and the proximity to nightlife while maintaining quiet and solitude

Contras: Nothing

Prós: The hotel is conveniently located on the river within walking distance to a river boat stop (N. 16). The river boats are a fast and cost effective way to travel Bangkok.

Contras: The hotel is not set up for US or English-only speaking tourists, which is understandable, but good for other travelers to know. For example, the ground transport kiosk listed both taxi and limo services; however, when we tried to book a taxi to the airport the hotel staff member kept trying to sell us a limo ride to airport. Unfortunately our Thai is limited, so we were only speaking English when trying to set this up. We finally ended up with a taxi, which cost 1/3 the price of the limo. The amenities are also not great. The breakfast is low-quality food and there is only WiFi available in the hotel lobby.
