We loved the location, so close to Wat Arun and the ferry services, but in 'old' Bangkok. It was very good value for money considering its great location. It is an old building, and more like an air bnb than a hotel. This is simple style, clean, accommodation in a kind, genuine family home. The shower was good, and the air con worked well and was quiet. There is a fridge in the room. They say breakfast is not provided, but there were some packets of cereal and biscuits downstairs, along with tea and coffee. If you brought in some bread and butter, there is a toaster. The owners were very helpful organising taxis to and from the airport at a reasonable rate. It probably isn't ideal if you want nightlife!

The shutters and screens kept out the light, but not sound. Most of the time this was a very quiet location, except for the occasional dog and cat, and the very early morning trumpet reveille, we presume from the naval college!! Not a big problem, but maybe earplugs would be useful!

The room was a comfortable size for 2 of us plus luggage. Air conditioning helped cool off the room for sleeping. The family who owns Arun House was very helpful giving us recommendations for dinner and to access the ferry, a 5 baht short ride across the river to see the reclining Buddha and Royal Palace. It’s also a couple minutes walk from Temple of the Dawn and street market.

It is an hour drive from the airport. It’s not really a problem but be aware for planning.

This house is very well located and I had a perfect stay. You can walk to Wat Arun and also to the boarding pier to cross the River to visit the Grand Palace and Wat Pho. The bedroom and bathroom were spotless. The shower had good pressure and warm water (very important to people who loves a good shower after touristing all day). The best part of OB Arun are the owners. They go beyond what is expected to help you have a good time while in Bangkok. They booked my airport transfer and a taxi driver to bring me to further locations as the floating and railway markets. I had only 2 days in Bangkok and would never be able to accomplish all I did if it wasn’t for their generosity to help me. Thank you so much! I will recommend your home to everyone I know that plans to visit Thailand.

There is absolutely nothing to not like.

The location is perfect for traveler, It’s super close to Wat Arun and the pier to the Royal Palace! The facilities are also very good, the rooms are always so clean, there are also free drinks, biscuits and instant noodles in the common area, we really enjoyed them! The service is excellent as well, the householder is very nice and helpful! We love the stay here, will come back in the future!

Maybe get the window open sometimes

Stayed here with my mother, my wife, and our 7-year old son. We all really enjoyed ourselves. The accomodations are clean and comfortable. Air conditioning, hot water, Wifi all work well. The owner went above and beyond to help us organizing airport transfers and a dinner cruise on the Chao Phraya River. The local area is full of dining options, and of course is easily walkable to Wat Arun. We spent 4 days exoloring the area and would happily do it again! Recommended A+

Both Oak and his father were exceptionally wonderful hosts. The property was very close to Wat Arun and river Chao phraya making our stay reasonably priced due to ferry rides to n fro the other side... talking of the property itself...everything was squeaky clean the room, bathroom, kitchen. I Highly recommended this place to all my friends travelling to Bangkok.

Wish them loads of good luck and prosperity in the future and always.

everything about the place is great. We were truly satisfied. All amenities provided. spacious rooms. very traditional which we liked travelling as a family which exposes us to some Thai culture like taking our shoes off. There’s a snack and coffee bar available in the common area. Just wonderful. We were near Wat Arun. We have access to ferries to go to Icon Siam (although plan your trips and the use of public transport as it may not be easy).

it’s not really a negative as we were aware of it, but the nearest subway that will bring you on the east side of the river is about 1km from the accommodation. so just be mindful of that if you want to use this kind of PT.

The rooms are spacious and there is a desk you can if you need some quiet time or plan to write something. The location is unusual, at the heart of the main tourist attractions, as it is right next to Wat Arun and the pier connecting with the Grand Palace area. The area looks more like a Thai village, but there are small restaurants all around. For any serious shopping or services such as money exchange, you may need to cross the river or go to the Itsarapaap station area, both about 5-10 minutes away. Crossing the river is a no-brainer all day long, as it only takes a few minutes and costs only 5 bhat. The hotel really feels like a Thai home, with air conditioning in the rooms but not in passageways, taking off shoes before you get in. There is a spot inside where you can make coffee or eat a snack from 5 am to 11 pm. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

If you are looking for vibrant city life, this may not be the best place for you. The hotel is close to the holy site of Wat Arun, and there are mainly shops that rent traditional costumes or sell food. But the area is beautiful and fairly quiet at night.

The room and bathroo.were spotlessly clean. The bed was super comfy too. In the communal area there was a huge selection of beverages and snack food as well as a microwave, kettle and crockery. The staff were amazing, helping us book transport and storing our luggage on the last day. The location was brilliant, two minute walk to the ferry and five minutes to the train. Will definitely be staying here when next in bangkok.

The location was excellent, just behind Wat Arun and surrounded by small local eateries. The road is quiet and there are small alleyways to explore. The hosts were very helpful and super friendly. If you wanna join the hustle and bustle you can take the river ferry across for just 5 Baht and arrive closely to Wat Pho and the Grand Palace.

All was fine.
