I had a mixed experience at Arun Residence. The location was fantastic, right by the Chao Phraya River and close to major attractions such as Wat Arun and Wat Pho. I loved the beautiful view from my room, and the breakfast was decent with good options. However, I faced some serious issues with the front desk staff who were unhelpful during a troubling incident with a taxi, which really soured my overall impression. 😕

I had a lovely experience at Arun Residence, primarily due to its amazing views of Wat Arun and the Chao Phraya River. The room was both charming and well-decorated, which added to the overall appeal. However, the lack of an elevator made things a bit challenging, particularly with my luggage, and there were some issues with the breakfast service being a tad slow. Overall, I would recommend this hotel for its unique character and prime location! 😊🌅

I recently stayed at Arun Residence and was absolutely thrilled with the stunning views of Wat Arun. The location is perfect for sightseeing in Bangkok, though it does come with a fair bit of tourist traffic.

Overall, it was a nice stay, especially at the rooftop bar for sunset.
