The Praya Palazzo is right beside the bustling Chao Phraya River, with all its boat traffic, yet remains quiet and secluded, with a wonderful tropical garden and lovely pool. Central Bangkok can overwhelm with it's dense crowds, hectic traffic, and tiny alleys, but the Praya Palazzo's private water taxi over the river whisks you away from all that to a stately and secluded refuge. A great place to recharge for further adventures

This is an unique property, an ex-private home which is only accessible to guests by it's own ferry boat service. Although this is available 24/7, it did require us to have a phone that we could use in Thailand, to call for the ferry when we wanted to return to the hotel. The food in the restaurant was very good and all the staff were very friendly. The only negative was that the plumbing in our friend's room needed repairing but the hotel were in no rush to do so. They seemed happier to mop up the leak each day rather than get it fixed asap.

Something different.
A period property in a nice location next to the river. A bit isolated and there wasn’t a separate shower or enough plug points but the ambience made up for it. Dinner was great in the Thai restaurant and the service was 1st class. Nice getting around on the hotel water taxi.

This is a unique, beautiful character property. A haven of peace and calm yet so close to the Grand Palace, National Museum etc. Staff were lovely. Restaurant was excellent - first class breakfast and delicious evening meals in a wonderful setting. But the hotel is quirky, and won't suit everyone. There's no access on foot or by car. Hard to believe, but true. Only access is from opposite bank of the river using the hotel's own ferry, which responds quickly and operates 24/7. The hotel has loads of historic character, but the facilities in our room were not as good as they should have been. The bath shower was unuseable due to its design, there was no box of hand tissues and no chairs other than a hard wooden desk chair. The aircon was very old and didn't work very effectively (e.g. no swing.) There was a kettle in the room but the cable was too short to reach the socket. We asked the staff for an extension cable but didn't get one. There was a beautiful lounge upstairs, but the lights were hardly ever on in the evening, nor was the aircon. Overall a wonderful place to stay but several basic practical issues need to be addressed.

Very nice and unique period property. Attention and care to preserve original property spirit and style is appreciated. The boat shuttle service was never more than a few minutes away! It was quick, smooth, comfortable and safe. The crew were friendly and helpful. The restaurant is a five star. The front staff is accommodating, knowledgeable and friendly. The Chef and kitchen staff produce phenomenal dishes! Only negative is that some areas need power washing.

Amazing staff who were very friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. The breakfast was excellent. I also ate dinner one night and it was very tasty. Location is nice, on the river, with easy access to ferries. The only issue is that the private barge does not run 24/7, which made a late night arrival quite interesting. Room was nice. The bed is more Asian style and hard, so not as comfortable for me, but adequate. Would definitely return!

Beautiful and peaceful stay
The old mansion is really lovely, it’s spotlessly clean and the service is friendly, although very slow. The location is an interesting one. It’s beautiful and quiet, and nice to be on the river, but it’s not very convenient because there is no road access. They do try their best to make it as hassle-free as possible by providing a shuttle boat across the river.

Historical hotel
It is a historical Thai hotel. The hotel is well decorated like you are in RAMA 5 era. The restaurant provides Thai-traditional food and this restaurant received Michelin 2021. The hotel is quiet and very private due to there is only one way to reach this hotel. You have to call the hotel and ask them for shutter boat.

I enjoyed having the ferry come pick us up at the dock in order to get to the property. There was only a couple times there was any delay and it was less than 15 minutes. They provide you a local phone in order to call them each time you need to get picked up. I found the set meal in the restaurant very very delicious and one of the best meals in my 16 day trip. The restaurant is pretty expensive by Thai standards. A/C kept the room cold and the room was very spacious. From the pier you are walking distance to Khao San Road which is a great area to hang out, eat, drink. There are plenty of drivers also near the pier that you can either get quick rides or barter for a driver for the day. The property itself is beautiful with a rich history. I recommend.

Great place and amazing service
Stayed here for our honeymoon and had a fantastic time. Was initially pretty worried after reading some negative reviews about the rooms, but those were completely dispelled after getting to the hotel. The hotel itself is very nice and relaxed. The rooms are slightly older but they’re definitely a step above average, not like some of the reviews portrayed them to be. The staff was probably the best part of the stay - always courteous, helpful and communicative. Never had a problem accessing the boat even when we came back late nights after sightseeing. The only slight I had is that the pier is closed at night and you wait outside on the road for a few mins until the boat person comes and let’s you in. Would be nice if they had a waiting area for guests. But overall I really am glad I booked at Palazzo rather than any of the regular commercial hotels out there.

Incredible location across the river from all the “action”. It was wonderful to spend the day sightseeing and then take the boat across to this oasis of tranquility and have a drink around the pool, have a relaxing swim. Very civilized. Our room was spacious and clean. Even if some of the details were not authentic the overall effect was very pleasing. The staff was beyond helpful. The front desk crew wrote adresses of places we were going in Thai so we could hand them to taxi drivers. Amazing.

First-class service in an amazing property - a former royal palace, a beautiful, wonderful Italianate, turn-of-the-century building, manicured grounds, delicious Thai food from the restaurant- we were there only briefly (I wish we could have stayed longer). It’s well worth the price. Actually, every other fancy-schmancy international hotel chain should strive to achieve this standard. It’s unique, beautiful. I loved it.

It was beautiful and old grandeur. However the rooms were kind of damp, very small and inconvenient. Example the bathroom has zero place to keep your toiletries or hang your bathrobe. The room was tiny- & mine was supposed to 352 square feet but with the huge furniture which took up most of the space there was hardly any elbow room left. The breakfast buffet is pretty crummy too- just a tiny omelet checked off with whatever you want on it, white bread, cornflakes and another cereal, juices. There was no change or flair to this buffet. The outdoors is more beautiful but inside your room it is dated.
