Chakrabongse Villas

Wonderful quiet oasis in the heart of Bangkok's tourist center. A few rooms/villas nestled in a park-like setting facing the river, Wat Arun right across. The moment the gate shuts behind you, birds replace the sounds of the city and everyone seems to want to make the entire experience nothing but pleasant and relaxing. "Ohm" took fantastic, personal care of us, "Natt" added a very personal touch to the superb dinner experience. The river-view villa was comfortable, the front room an unexpected little haven. A variety of seating outside with views of temples, the river, and at night bats above. Right in the city and yet seemingly so removed. Breakfast was a perfect start for every day and our trip to Thailand, the pool an opportunity to refresh each morning.

In 1891, the last Tsar of Russia visited Siam and impressed with the great hospitality provided by the Thai Royal Family. In return Tsar Nicholas II invited Prince Chakrabongse to study in St. Petersburg and stayed in the Palace. Nowadays the legacy is continued at Chakrabongse Palace. As a Royal guesthouse, it offers courteous service. Khun Ohm makes our stay an unforgettable once in a lifetime experience. He helped us to watch the Royal Barge together with the descendants of Prince Chakrabongse. Everyone at the Palace went extra miles to ensure our stay was a memorable one, even before we checked in. Ms. Atom helped me to keep the book about Tsar Nicholas II that I bought online. My biggest regret is only being able to stay for one night because this is a work trip. But for sure if next time I'm having a holiday in Bangkok, I'll come back again to this Palace

If you want a big breakfast buffet with smoked salmon, don't come. And if you're looking for glittering posh glass and chrome, don't come either. Are you looking for a hotel near the palace and Wat Arun? Near museums and clong rides? Do you want as much peace, space and privacy as possible? Dinner by the river? Been woken up by the birds? Breakfast served on your veranda? A pool most likely just for yourself? A very warm and personalised service, than this is the outstanding hotel. Hospitality as its best.

We only have the best words to say about this beautiful place Best location Best view Best staff Certainly recommended to everyone that appreciates peace and luxury inside old Bangkok Really the place to stay Next to grand palace and other attractions , and also so peaceful Our riverside villa was so special Everything had a special touch Thanks to all the staff, they were wonderful and made all the difference

We spent 5 nights at the fabulous Chakrabonge Villas, in the river view suite. We loved everything about this hotel. The photos don't really do it justice. The suite was very clean and comfortable and the private terrace overlooking the river was a beautiful setting for the huge delicious breakfast. Mr Ohm and Atom were perfect and charming hosts and helped us with transport to wherever we wanted to go, mostly by tuktuk which we really enjoyed. We only had time to have dinner there one night and it was the best food we had during our trip. We should have skipped some other places and eaten there more instead. The pool was lovely and quiet for early morning dips and the grounds are a joy to walk through. If you hate generic tower chain hotels, stay here, you won't regret it. Also book their airport pickup, it went very smoothly.

A beautiful oasis set in old Bangkok. Nestled next to the busy river Chao Praya. This charming establishment provides welcome respite. If you stay here I highly recommend taking breakfast which is served overlooking the river. The food is delicious and plentiful. Staff are very friendly and helpful. There is a lovely pool surrounded by lush greenery.
