Intimate little property within close walking distance of the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, the flower market, with a lovely view of Wat Arun across the river. We spent four nights in the Riverview Villa which was quite spacious with a great view of the river activities from its large deck. A trip along the back canals was a great experience... More

Having gone to great trouble to find a small and characterful Hotel for our first visit to Bangkok we were delighted to have stumbled on Chakrabongse Villas. Near the Royal Palace , Wat Arun & the Flower Market and situated next to the river with excellent views it was a welcoming retreat to return to after a noisy and hot... More

Bangkok, by its very nature, is a lively, bustling and noisy city, but within this Chakrabongse Villas somehow manages to envelop you in calm luxury. We can't talk highly enough about our experience here. The location is wonderful and picturesque, with the dining area situated on the river side with breathtaking views of the temples.

I recently contacted the hotel to arrange an event for a very special occasion. I live in Bangkok and called a couple of days ahead to set the appointment.

There's a lot of history to Chakrabongse which you'll find on their website. The story is fascinating in itself. Chakrabongse is unique in Bangkok - a royal... More

We stayed two nights here in late july 2011. It's a really special place with tons of character but it's not for everyone. It's not a full service hotel, the river view room has little configuration quirks (like the two big steps down from the bedroom into the bathroom and the steep shallow steps that you walk up to get...

We spent a most enjoyable three nights in the Riverview villa. Some highlights: 1. Our lodging included an enclosed veranda, a sitting room with desk, bedroom, kitchenette, bathroom. The veranda proved to be an ideal place to relax and watch the monsoon thunderstorms. In fact, it is hard to not to be pretty laid back as soon as you set... More
