Hotels in Bangkok nahe Wat Pho

Immediately upon arrival it was clear the staff was terrific and committed to giving excellent customer service. The owners are so nice and helpful, and really made sure that we enjoyed our time in Bangkok and at the hotel. Get a room with a monument view. Absolutely worth it. The view of Wat Arun from our room is stunning. We have two balconies, which is nice. There are chairs and an ash tray, if you smoke, and it's a nice place to overlook the river. The decor is very unique and was a huge part of the appeal The location can't be beat - right next to Wat Pho, The Grand Palace, and a short river crossing from Wat Arun. Walking distance to Thai Museum. Breakfast included, was delicious. Refreshing welcome drink on arrival. Free wifi. Helpful map given.

It was a bit difficult for our cab driver to find the hotel. Maybe it would have been easier just to say Wat Pho, and then find the place by sight with the driver, or walk the last little bit yourself. There is no elevator and the stairs are steep. Just something to note if that may be a problem for you.

Difficulty finding hotel since it is not visible from the main roadway. A sign would have been helpful

Staff was extremely friendly though they did not know much about the best options to get a bus or anything other than a taxi to the airport. They did tell me that there would be no problem finding a taxi though even in the wee hours of the morning which was absolutely accurate. A little away from Kohsan Road made it a bit less noisy than the hostels on that strip which was nice. All dorm style rooms which were clean. Basic hostel accommodations where you may have the room entirely to yourself in the off season.

Beds were basic, not overwhelmingly comfortable but on-par with other hostels and rooms at similar price point in Bangkok and around Thailand. This is not the place for you if you are looking for fancy or plush but it is a great location for the budget traveler wanting to stay in the Grand Palace area.
