sala rattanakosin

Very welcoming boutique hotel with cute amenities and stunning rooftop bar. It's in Old Town, so don't expect a modern property, but it has great charm!

Totally amazing staff. The best service I've ever experienced in a hotel. He happened to mention to each other that we had sensed a weird smell in our room. However it didn't bother us. The staff heard this and upgraded us immediately to another room. When we wanted to take a long-boat tour on the Kolong River the staff called the company and organized so that we got our personal boat AND they accompanied us to the docks and didnt leave until the boat had taken off. AMAZING! The food in their restaurant was very good and the view was exceptional!

Sala Rattanakosin is the perfect location to take in all Bangkok’s Old City has to offer. From its pricessless riverfront location to its (beyond) incredible breakfast spreads, I’m definitely looking forward to my next stay and am definitely turned on to the Sala family of properties. One note - be advised of the tours + do your homework. Booked a tour from the front desk (trusting the staffer’s pick without my own research) and it turned out to me a whole mess. Ended up wasting half a day and a lot more money than discussed with hotel staffer. Definitely not on the staffer, but on the person they booked. Would have expected differently for the credibility the Sala offers.

The room was small with a funky layout (shower in one corner, toilet in another corner and sink in a third corner). We wanted to go to a night market and they put us in a taxi to one that was closed (We wasted money on 2 taxis). We told them and they said, “oh, sorry.” They tried to put us in a taxi to the airport for 600 bhat, but we grabbed her own for 400 bhat. The view and rooms can be nice, but we did not get one. The breakfast was delicious.

Stayed here before and just as great this time. Approach to the front door is through a number of warehouses and a couple of cafes but do not be put off. Staff are great, food is great too but the best of all is the roof terrace which opens at 1700 (5pm). When the sun goes down, the lights come up and there is a 360 degree view of the temples and river. Combined with lovely food and wonderful cocktails (not the cheapest but you pay for what you get) and you have a perfect evening. Been here before, will be back again.
