War Arun view
Nice location. Very nice room. The hotel is very unique, and a nice place for our first days in thailand. The restaurant and bar are very good with a fabulous view of Wat Arun.

Arun Residence used to be a quiet, quaint boutique hotel on the river. That was 10 or so years ago. The area is now very busy and the building has been substantially redeveloped. Now, the hotel is almost a sideline to the restaurant and bar extending over 4 levels which attract many outside patrons.The accommodation is still good with each unit providing comfortable accommodation spread over several levels - although the stairs, banisters and balustrades in the units would raise safety concerns in many countries. The restaurant food is good and the staff were generally attentive. The view across the river to Wat Arun is a highlight.

Great location!
We had a beautiful view of Wat Arun from directly across the river. The breakfast was made to order with a good variety of Western and Asian options. The room was large and comfortable. The roof top bar was a great place to unwind and enjoy the view. Additionally, the lodging is within easy walking distance to some of the sites, a metro station and ferry dock.

Great New Years Eve Spot
The hotel staff were lovely. They let us our room 2 hours early on New Years Eve. They also had a rooftop party that we were included in for no extra charge. The view of War Arun was magical. We did have a loft bedroom with the bathroom downstairs, there was mot much of a railing and if you were unsteady in the night it felt a bit precarious. All was great !

We make a mistake book the room with Arun residence from 19-21 September to 19-21 October. On 19 September I try to contact Expedia many times to cancel but today (10/22/19) I receive email back from Arun Residence and Expedia that they can’t give me back my money or credit me anything. We Nee been to this hotel yet but this bad experience shows me how greedy they are and I will not do any business with this hotel in the future again. Also Expedia can’t help me with anything but get me full charge of booking! Agoda will get the business from me from now on.

Worth for money
Excellent room but reception has a cat on the counter. Great view but there is a bar on the top floor so it made noisy moving chairs and tables on the second night. Terrible for that second night. I had to throw two chairs on the balcony to make them stop moving things around on my head.

Great boutique hotel with amazing view of Arun Wat. Tastily decorated. Very good, varied, breakfast. Just ask if construction is done before booking - it gets loud!

Great riverside location and views!
We really enjoyed our stay at Arun Residence. The staff were very friendly and the room was spacious and comfortable. We had a wonderful view across to Wat Arun. The bar has great views and is a good spot for a drink before heading out to eat nearby or get a tuk tuk to Chinatown or other neighbourhoods.

Beautiful location. But isolated from the main city and public transport isn’t great, but those are the only negatives. Incredible hotel, lovely staff, fabulous view.

Thin walls, poor wifi, great venue
This is a boutique hotel, so it comes with those kinds of quirks. You're not going to get perfect concierge service, or staff that are able to do everything. But you're going to get a nice quiet location with a great view. If you want to do business you may want to look elsewhere. The WiFi needs a complete re-build and was unusable to me every evening I was in the hotel. (The hotel did apologize and offer a discount on my stay) The walls and wooden floors carry noise from the other rooms, the rooftop bar and the neighbors. So be prepared if you are a light sleeper. I was woken at dawn by someone beating on the doorbell next door and the family stomping around their apartment. I'm also unclear if the building and rooms have ever dried out. After 2 separate stays I've returned home to find all my clothes feel slightly damp. But perhaps you can't do much with a house over the river in Bangkok. Like others have noted, the A/C is inscrutable, there seems to be no way to change the fan speed, it's just "blow hard" if the A/C is on. All in all it leaves me conflicted about the location. I really want to keep staying here, but not if I have to get work done while I'm at the hotel.

Nice, clean hotel in a great location. The hotel is right on the water and has a beautiful view of Wat Arun across the way. Breakfast was decent with a simple but good menu. The rooms were clean and comfortable.
