I have stayed here once previously several years ago and I was looking forward to staying again. I wasn't disappointed as it was excellent. Staff are friendly, breakfast on the river also very good, the room was very cosy, quiet and comfortable. Aircon worked well. The lobby area is also a great place to get some work done or hold meetings. Overall a very pleasant place to stay for work or leisure - the temples are all very close by, as is the flower market a few minutes walk down the road. There is also a great new massage place right next door - I had a great traditional thai massage there. I highly recommend staying here.

Aurum The River Place has one of the best locations in Bangkok, right by the river with a stunning view of the Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun). The breakfast is excellent, and enjoying it while looking out over the river and the temple makes it even more special. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming—they treated us like family during our stay. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Bangkok who wants a beautiful view, a delicious breakfast, and warm hospitality.

Loved it all. This hotel was on a quiet street, by the river and the metro stop is close by. If you only have a short time to stay, all the big attractions were conveniently within walking distance. Breakfast was lovely each morning on the river overlooking the wats and a vegetarian option was available and delicious. Pan was the best. She made an effort to help answer questions and helped call transport. For a view or partial view, ask for an odd number room I would stay again!

All was good until one issue occurred
Overall, I had a pleasant stay, but there was one problem that affected my experience

I paid 7,960 baht for two nights.
The building is a bit old, but I actually liked the atmosphere. The café next door has a beautiful river view, the breakfast was wonderful, and the staff were friendly. However, I chose this room specifically because it had a balcony.

I am a smoker, and I always book a room with a balcony so I don’t need to go outside the building every time I smoke. Unfortunately, the balcony door in my room did not open at all, even though I paid extra for this feature.

When checking out, I kindly asked if anything could be done regarding this issue. I explained to Ms. Pan that since the balcony was unusable, I had to keep going up and down whenever I wanted to smoke. After 11 p.m., the front door is locked, which made it even more inconvenient. Instead of addressing the issue, she simply said, “Smoking is bad, you should stop smoking,” which was not the response I expected in this situation.

She then told me that they could not do anything because I booked through the Expedia app. However, the balcony door being stuck is clearly a hotel issue, not mine. I booked—and paid for—a balcony room, yet I could not use the balcony at all.

Ms. Pan was polite, but I felt she guided the conversation toward what she wanted rather than addressing my actual concern. Also the young lady came in to room to check what she can do but Pan js talks..

I had such a lovely stay! Such a quaint little place, clean rooms and very attentive staff, especially Pan. She was was there each day doing a little bit of everything from ushering me to my room upon check-in, to bring me breakfast by the side of the river in the morning to waiting with me to be sure my taxi arrived. I had booked a room with partial river views and to my surprise it even had a small balcony. Everything was just perfect. I would definitely stay again!

This is an excellent boutique hotel. It is on the waterfront in old town Bangkok. The lady that runs the desk on the days i was there is incredibly nice and very helpful. The room was smaller but very comfortable and well laid out. We also got free breakfast whoch was an ample start to the day with a western style breakfast or thai style.

This is a hidden gem with a river view and close to amazing temples, boat tours, the ferries and the Grand Palace. We had an amazing stay here and highly recommend it. The location is perfect - close to everything yet on a quiet street.
Breakfast is delicious and comes with a riverside table. The staff here are all incredibly kind and friendly. The lady who manages the hotel made everything so special for us - from the Thai lessons to arranging us a driver for a day out and a ride back to the airport.
Kop Kuhn Ca Kuhn Pan!
The hotel is also very close to the flower market and the subway.
Both the subway and the river bus are easy and super safe to use.
And the cost here is very reasonable too.
My one caution - if you book a Grab ride here from the airport make sure they have the right address. When we did this Grab somehow had the wrong address. Totally not the hotel's fault - much better to let the hotel arrange your taxi!
Lots of food options nearby including good street food.
This is the only place I would want to stay in Bangkok!

I stayed here three nights for visit to Bangkok then departed for pattaya. The best part of this hotel is the staff. Ms Pan… was fantastic. The breakfast was good all three days. The hotel is near the water .. no views of wat arun. I really wanted a night time view or even day time view of wat arun or the river. The hotel itself is very clean but older. I think the price is good value $105 a night for king sized bed and breakfast . But no good view of river or wat arun. I left Bangkok and stayed at lebua which was old and overpriced and finally found a great hotel called the standard in Bangkok which was my favorite!

Homely Hotel Close To Historic Sites

The hotel had a wonderful at-home feel. The room with river view completely met our needs: clean, tidy, cold air conditioning and a lovely bath. We received a warm welcome when checking in and were given great advice on historic places to see in the old town. We stayed four nights and enjoyed every moment of it. The breakfast beside the river was delightful! And there was a choice of English and Thai breakfasts. We tried both, and they were delicious. We particularly loved the Thai breakfast that was served with chilled butterfly flower water. We can’t recommend this hotel highly enough, and being walking distance to all of the historic sites, it made for exciting days exploring. Thank you to the hotel team for everything they did to make our stay enjoyable.

Great location, spotlessly clean and helpful staff

Good value hotel for a central stay if wanting to visit the grand palace area of Bangkok. A small very quiet hotel with a lovely view of Wat Arun when you have breakfast. Breakfast is good, not a big buffet style but suited us , cereal, toast, cooked English and fruit but the best thing about this hotel is it is VERY CLEAN and all staff but especially PAN are welcoming and very thoughtful and helpful she cannot do enough for you. We would stay again if visiting.

The Aurum was the perfect lowkey spot along the river to relax in Bangkok. It is quiet and clean and provides a perfect respite near the temples to escape the heat. It is within walking distance to Wat Pho and to the MRT subway line to get around town and to Chatuchat Weekend Market. Pan, the lovely hostess, saw that I was a woman traveling alone and looked after me with a watchful eye. Breakfast was included and served at outside tables along the river with a beautiful view of Wat Arun. They also arranged a taxi to the airport. Will definitely stay here again!

Excellent hotel and staff especially Pan who went out of her way to help with whatever we needed. It is very convenient to the attractions including sunset view of Wat Arun. The location of the breakfast cafe on the river is beautiful and very serene in the morning. You cannot see Wat Arun from hotel as most of the view is blocked by another building in front. You can see it from cafe.

We were so happy we chose Aurum The River Place for our stay in Bangkok. The location in Old Town was perfect! Wat Arun is located directly across the river and accessible via a very inexpensive ferry ride. Once at Wat Arun you can catch a hop-on/hop-off ferry to many other stops (Chinatown, IconSiam mall, et cetera). The Grand Palace and Wat Pho (reclining buddha) are also within walking distance of Aurum The River Palace. Lots of great food choices nearby. The included breakfast was excellent and served by Pan and her team at an adjacent riverside cafe every morning. This was a great choice for our first stop in Thailand! Highly recommend.

Great Stay

We had a wonderful stay at Aurum The River Place. From the moment you walk in you are made to feel at home. Pam and her ladies are amazing. They provide the best customer service. Pam is always available to answer any and all questions and provides helpful information. The rooms are kept very clean. The breakfast is delicious. Our room was spacious and quiet. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. We had a great view from our balcony. Great showers. The hotel is centrally located. It is walking distance to many tourist attractions, delicious restaurants, ferry, even a running track for exercising. We would definitely stay here again and again.

The hotel is less than 10 min walk to Metro Blue Line (use exit 5) and Rajinee Pier where you can get the hop on hop off ferry to Wat Arun, the Grand Palace, Khao San Road, IconSiam, Asiatique, and other places. It is on a quiet side street near the flower market which is lovely. Room was spacious with excellent A/C. Breakfast is at the adjacent cafe which is right on the river and nice for watching all the boat traffic, with a beautiful view of Wat Arun. The Thai Breakfast was excellent. Service at the hotel was outstanding. I would recommend this hotel if you don’t mind that the neighborhood isn’t “upscale” - it’s so convenient to transit and many things to see and do.

This was a fantastic place for our layover. The hotel's driver picked us up from the airport with no fuss, the lady that ran the place was incredibly kind and made us sandwiches to take to the airport the next morning. We stayed in room 201 which had a view of the river and large windows. We were able to walk to War Po temple for sightseeing and a fabulous restaurant for dinner which overlooked the Palace. Great position. Incredibly convenient. A great stay.

This is a beautiful hotel in a very walkable area, close to the Palace, Wat Pho, and the ferry that takes you to Wat Arun.
That being said, the real treasure is Pan, or as we like to call her Auntie Pan.
Auntie Pan really makes your stay truly special, and i know it may sound cliché, but it really did feel we were staying with family.
She is a wealth of information, and will happily guide and arrange things for you, as an auntie would.
Its easy to find hotels close to the sights, or with gorgeous rooms and amenities, but Auntie Pan is truly the number one reason, i would suggest someone to stay here.
Thank you Auntie !!!

Walking distance to many sights, great staff!

This hotel is very conveniently located to Wat Po, Wat Pra Kaew, and Wat Arun, so you can walk or ferry to all these major tourist attractions. The staff all speak English very well, and I loved the Thai breakfast that they offer every day. The best view of the river is from the breakfast area, I think if I stayed here again I wouldn't spend extra for a river view room as the view is mostly blocked by the building in front. But we had a lovely time and would stay here again!

Good stay, area wasn't great

The hotel was fine, but they have limited breakfast options. You pick what you want the day before off of a menu. Same stuff every day. The location was down an alley on the river. Not quite sure where they took the photos from, but you cannot see the view of the Wat across the river that they show. There's a big orange building in the way. It's very near Wat Pho, which was great, but that area isn't really touristy....very few nicer restaurants, and a lot of back alleys that smell of dried seafood (which is horrible).

On the good side, they are a short walk from a subway station, and the ladies that ran the place were EXTREMELY friendly...always smiling and willing to help. Once you walk in the front door, it's a 10/10 hotel. It's getting to the front door that's more of a 6/10.

Best hotel in Bangkok

Probably the best place to stay in Bangkok. Everything about the hotel is better than expected. Its a short walk to the Grand Palace, and Wat Pho and a short ferry ride across the river to Wat Arun (from alley Thanon Thai Wang) which starts from the corner of the Royal palace grounds. You will want to adopt the proprietor as your own grandmother. Only a few minutes by taxi away from Khao San Road, Iconsiam mall and Chinatown. With all of the tourists about, the area feels very safe to explore. The personal service beats anywhere I've stayed anywhere in the world.

The room was very clean, staff amazingly polite and helpful, great breakfast, wonderful view of the river, although slightly spoilt by a huge brown building to the right. Excellent position for old town. The only reason I did not give it a 5* rating was the room was a little small and the water for the shower kept going really hot then cold. Apart from that the hotel was really excellent and I would definitely return.
