Hotels near The Grand Palace, Bangkok

The good: Excellent location. walking distance to the most important temples, and THE VIEW from the restaurant is just amazing, directly across the river from wat arun, the sunset temple, and oh, the sunsets from there are unforgettable, totally worth it! They also have rooms with that same view. The rooms are clean, modern, and spacious. The bad: taxis, cars, Tuk tuks, cannot access so you have to walk about 100 meters, totally doable, but still…. The ugly: NO ELEVATOR, it’s just a couple floors, but when you’re templed out and dehydrated due to the scorching hot weather it’s a “nice to have” thing in your hotel…

I chose this hotel because I wanted to visit the three major temples and also be able to see Arun and eat. Breakfast is delicious. I left it in the save box and checked out, but the response was perfect. The warmth and kindness of the staff was clearly felt. Unfortunately, there wasn't much of a boundary between the toilet and the bath, so I ended up getting flooded with water. However, if you want to feel Thailand, this is a recommended hotel. If I have a chance to go, I would like to go again.

Stayed here the 2nd time around and it was still a very pleasant stay. Definitely I will come back again. I prefer this hotel because the area is quiet, it is new and clean and it is close to major tourist attractions, the Wat Po and the Grand Palace. At first I booked the deluxe double room because I was alone however I found the room too small. So I transferred to a bigger room after 3 days, to a family room as it was the only available room during my stay. The family room however was way too big for 1 person. Anyhow, I will give an honest review here to help succeeding guests decide which room to choose. The deluxe double room is small in my assessment even for a single person. This type of room is just basically for sleeping and resting but not for relaxing. No place to hang clothes and with only a very tiny space for luggage. The toilet and bath though is very spacious.[ My next room was the family room which is perfect for couples, group of 3 to 4 persons and for a family of 4 members. I love the family room, it has separate toilet and bath, the powder room is spacious, there is place to hang clothes, a space to keep the luggages and it has 2 king size beds. In the past, we also tried the triple deluxe room and it is as good as the family room, the space is enough for a couple or for a group of 3 persons. The hotel is walkable to these tourist attractions mentioned above if you don't mind walking in the heat. Bangkok is warm all year round. There are two 7-11stores closeby. If you just explore and walk around this hotel, there are many restos and cafes to go to. You can ask for directions from the hotel reception. I passed by a fruit market while riding a taxi to Wat Po. Taking a taxi to the hotel from Wat Po area costs around 100 to 200 Baht depending on the time of the day. The rates are higher during rush hour and drivers charge more when it is raining. The reason they always say is because it is always too difficult to get into the area of Wat Po as it is always congested. There are many tuktuks in Wat Po area but tuktuks are expensive. By foot, it may take around 20 to 30 minutes depending on your pace and how good you are at navigating your way. By car it will take 7 to 10 minutes to get to Wat Po and Grand Palace.

Pros: Social atmosphere, nice and friendly staff, 10mins walk to Khaosan road, things are clean and value for money Cons: local area, kinda hard to find the hostel , you’ll need to walk into a small street (but didn’t feel unsafe even walking alone at night), only got two bathrooms on each floor ;)) Overall: Recommended

The place looked very different from the pictures. The building looked a bit old. But everything was super clean. The staff was amazing. The room was clean and the location was amazing. Close to Khao Sand Road(5min walk). There was elevator available and we didn’t have time to get in the swimming pool but it looked nice. If you need hairdryer, it’s available is you ask in the counter. I had a good experience~ even if the pictures were different.

Good location as it was 2mins from Khaosan Road and 6mins from bus stops. Due to being near to Khaosan Road it does get a bit noisy at night (especially Friday/Saturday night) but it doesn’t affect the ability to sleep - our room faced the road. We did have to close the bathroom door as we could smell a sewage smell coming from the bathroom, it must’ve been somewhere in the pipes because we couldn’t see anything.

I was checked in earlier than the check in time with no problems. My stay was great because I wanted to be close to Khaosan Rd. The pool was small, but it was the nicest feature of the hotel because it was located on the rooftop. Ideal for a sunset view because it allows you to rest while enjoying the city view

We had an excellent stay - simple check-in/out and very clean rooms. The staff were so helpful with everything e.g. after I accidentally left my phone in the taxi - they helped us check the cctv footage & tried to find ways to contact the driver. No pool or fitness centre but that wasn't needed as we were out exploring all day. Right across the road from an MRT station (only 1 stop from Chinatown), and within walking distance to many main attractions. I'd definitely stay there again and would recommend Lub d to anyone else.

The rooms are spacious and clean. I booked a room with river-view. Nice but not really necessary. It's not an epic view. Haha! The TV lets you sign in into Disney, HBO, Netflix and other common providers. The showers are a thing for themselves. No real pressure! I think it's great for families and those who want to stay a little longer because the room had a really huge fridge. The hotel itself doesn't provide breakfast, but has a complimentary snack bar where you can get coffee, tea and sweets. It's ok because you can walk less than 10 minutes to find food. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I think the stereotype of Thais being the most friendly people rings true! The rooftop bar is nice at night, drinking a cocktail and you can eat seafood. Downstairs you have a normal restaurant and a buffet. The food looked good, and the restaurant seems to be a hotspot. It's been full every day. But since I travel alone.... You get the deal! When I'm in Thailand again, I gladly book this hotel a second time.

I paid $55 for this hotel in BKK Address: SCENE Bangkoknoi Hotel, 23/5 Arun Amarin Rd, Bangkok Noi, Bangkok 10700, Thailand Price: 💰 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Located on the outskirts of Bangkok's main shopping area, this quiet little neighborhood is filled with cute, artistic cafes, perfect for someone seeking an escape from the bustling city. I booked a night stay here because it seemed more convenient for traveling to DMK airport the next day, while having a full day to explore this part of Bangkok. After much research, I settled for this hotel. It offered a clean, bright, and spacious room with à la carte breakfast for two, all for just $55/night. Plus, there's a 7-Eleven only 350 meters away. The pool and lounge area were so cute and photo-worthy, but we skipped it this time as we forgot our swimwear. Check-in was easy, though you can only get your room after 2 PM, and they do require a 1000 baht cash deposit. We left our bags at the lobby, which were brought up to our rooms as we explored late into the evening. The room was generally beautifully decorated, but upon closer inspection, it wasn't the cleanest. There were stains on the sheets and walls. Fortunately, there were no drainage smells or mold, which would have been a nightmare. There were ants on the bathroom sink area, which was an easy fix. The water temperature was unstable; we had to bathe in cold to room-temperature water at night and in the morning. For the price paid and for only one night, these issues weren't too problematic. The hotel was safe, the room floor was clean, the air conditioning worked great, and there was plenty of space to put our items. The room also came with YouTube and Netflix, perfect to pair with your supper. The bed was so soft, we couldn't get up the next morning! The breakfast was simple, with two choices: Western or Asian. We opted for the American breakfast, which had a generous portion of eggs, potatoes, salad, bacon, bread, and sausage. The orange juice paired with it was a perfect cleanser. If you prefer a more local breakfast, they offer pork congee. I would stay here again if I decide to visit this part of Bangkok. Tip: Book 2-3 months in advance for a cheaper price.
