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."
