Frommer's Review
Here's a riverside value. For a large hotel, the place offers a fair amount of charm but tends to attract very large group tours, kind of off-putting sometimes. It's a lengthy bus or taxi trip from most of the major tourist attractions, but if you're adventurous enough to try the riverboats (highly recommended), the location can work to your advantage. The hotel is a 10-minute walk from Janyawat pier, far south of the central riverside area, and public boats run until 7pm each day (the hotel also offers occasional riverboat shuttles). Deluxe riverview rooms are nicely appointed, with modern Thai decorative touches and marble-tiled bathrooms. The style and view set them well apart from the less appealing (but cheaper) cityview standard rooms, which look a bit worn down by the steady stream of tour groups. Ask about discounts as low as 50%. The recently renovated pool area is great for winding down from a day of touring.
Facilities: 4 restaurants; lounge and bar; very large outdoor pool; fitness center w/sauna, steam, and aerobics classes; children's playground; tour desk; car-rental desk; boat hire; business center; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; same-day laundry service/dry cleaning.
