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 "Guest rooms are typical of a Chinese-style hotel, with all the useful amenities usually found in more expensive hotels, but without sparing Thai-style touches and character." Full review
DK Eyewitness "In the heart of Chinatown, surrounded by a maze of streets and shops, this hotel is housed in the Grand China Trade Tower, and has comfortable rooms and suites with full amenities."
Rough Guide "The poshest hotel in Chinatown boasts fairly luxurious accommodation in its 27-storey tower close to the heart of the bustle, with stunning views over all the city landmarks."
Time Out "Large rooms, some with balconies, overlook the city and river. The top floor has Bangkok's only revolving club lounge (open in the evenings)." Full review
Lonely Planet "A certifiable monstrosity from the outside, this hotel in the heart of Chinatown is popular with groups and has nondescript but comfortable rooms buoyed by great views."
Fodor's "Hard to find, and in the middle of an insanely busy area, the Grand China is part mall, part hotel, and acts as a landmark for one of the oldest neighborhoods in Bangkok--Chinatown." Full review
