Concierge "This little-known waterside oasis hides in plain sight among Bangkok's top tourist attractions such as the Grand Palace and Wat Pho."
Fodor's "They may be the best rooms in the city—the problem is there are only four, and the place is very popular, so you must book well in advance." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Built in 1908 as the residence of Prince Chulachakrabongse, these incredibly luxurious villas lie on the Chao Phraya River between Chinatown and the Royal Palace."
Rough Guide "In the luxuriant, riverside gardens of 100-year-old Chakrabongse House overlooking Wat Arun are four tranquil villas beautifully furnished in dark wood and silk, with polished teak floors."
Time Out "The 19th-century mansion of Prince Chakrabongse opens three Thai-style villas to guests. Exquisitely furnished with teak, silk and modern amenities, they offer seclusion." Full review

Frommer's "These days, the crusty old concrete bunker known as The Atlanta has little by way of comfort; however, it does have character, most of it left over from 1952, when it first opened." Full review
Rough Guide "A Bangkok institution, this classic, five-storey budget hotel was built in 1952 around a famously photogenic Art Deco-style lobby and continues to emphasize an old-fashioned hospitality."
Time Out "This one-time beau-monde haunt has hosted Jim Thompson and Scandinavian royalty, and a cult following of creatives and Asia obsessives." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "This property is a truly memorable stay, and has developed a cult-like following. One thing's for sure: This funky cultural gem is an institution in Bangkok." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"While the Atlanta looks thoroughly grim from outside, the perfectly preserved mid-century lobby... makes you want to hang around waiting for Bogart to slip in." Full review
