A wonderful, small and friendly place. Immaculately clean. Great location for the old city - Grand Palace and Wat Po. I was doing a massage course at Wat Po - it took me 90 seconds to get there from the hotel! Very quiet at night - which I loved - but don't go there if you want night life!

I stayed at this hotel for two nights and the staff were very helpful and charming. I would recommend visiting The Deck restaurant which is nearby and has a fabulous view across the river to Wat Arun which looks good at night even in the rain! It is also close to the Grand Palace and easy to walk to. Ignore the touts outside the Grand Palace who will try and tell you it's closed and drag you off an 'excursion'.

I loved this hotel. I stayed in the third floor front room and the views are sensational! I watched the boats do their busy thing and laid back on the most comfortable bed on planet earth. I loved the TV with the movies (but think they should change the movies more often). I loved clean bathroom. I took a tubby and the shower was a nice pressure. I loved the simple decor and the neutral colors... so serene. I ended up buying the robe and wish I had bought the comforter. I would absolutely stay again!

We had a pleasant stay at the Aurum, staff very kind, professional and helpful, hotel room very clean and sheets so soft - we slept like logs. Breakfast served at an outdoor space with some river view if placed correctly. Style very european both building and indoor interior, which doesn't give you a very Bangkok vibe, but we liked the location. Close to Wat Pho,Grand Palace, Tha Thien spice market and close by to the Tha Thien express boat station, which is a excellent way of transport north and south or for a private long-boat tail tour. Area quiet at night, but there is a 7-eleven around the corner open 24/7 and a great (well at least location-wise) restaurant called The Deck (at the Arun Residence) a few blocks away and at the same place a super bar called Amorosa where we took our night cap looking over Wat Arun.
