This hotel has that old world Thai imperial charm. It is not flash & new, but older & stylish. The location for some people will seem a little removed, however, if you're looking for some quiet relaxing time this is perfect. The hotel also offers a free shuttle each night to the night bazaar, leaving at 7 or 7:30 & returning at 9 or 9:30. Taxi is only 100baht anyway. Location is also walking distance to the Blue Temple.

Pros: Lovely quiet location on river. Staff were most helpful at all times.
Cons: No
Location: Tranquil but a little far from town.
Facilities: Above average; Value: Fantastic value; Service: Outstanding, More staff than guests; Cleanliness: Immaculate; Unfortunately for resort there were only 3 rooms occupied on at least one night I was there. With more staff then guests, service was outstanding. I would love to spend more time there. Location is a little far from town but this is easily handled by hotel transport to town on demand at a token cost of 100THB. Tuk Tuk back is only 120THB, although I was told they would pick you up if you phoned. There was no need to go out to dine at night as the hotel restaurant was more than adequate. Included airport transfers were a nice addition. The trip to the Golden Triangle arranged through the hotel was very well done and at a reasonable price.
