Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Aurum The River Place offers a convenient location near major attractions like Wat Pho, with easy access to the ferry to Wat Arun and the Grand Palace. Many guests appreciate the pleasant breakfast served riverside at a nearby cafe, often featuring views of Wat Arun, and the varied options including Thai and American choices. The rooms are generally clean and well-equipped, though some guests have noted that they can be a bit small. Arranging taxis to the airport directly through the hotel is considered a plus due to competitive pricing.

Good Location, Some Shortcomings

kind receptionistbreakfast locationtourist attractionsmusty smellstuffy hallwayssmall room

The hotel is near main attractions. I walked to the Grand Palace. The breakfast was on the water, and I enjoyed the butterfly juice. The receptionist was very kind.

The common areas did not have air conditioning. I found the hallways stuffy after being out. My room had a musty smell. The small room included old sofa that left no room to move around.
