AriyasomVilla

My husband and I had a wonderful four-day stay at Ariyasom villa to kick off our Thailand honeymoon. We chose it for its unique feel of a hidden oasis tucked away amidst the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, and that’s exactly what it felt like. We were amazed by how quiet and peaceful the hotel was, as if the trees above really can cut out the noise of the busy city surrounding it. The grounds are lovely and lush, with lots of birds singing. The rooms are beautifully decorated and comfortable, with lovely views of the gardens and pool. The pool is super refreshing, and made for a great place to cool off and relax midday. The free breakfasts were yummy, and we especially appreciated the fresh fruit juice and strong, delicious coffee. The hotel’s location is very convenient for public transport, with the SkyTrain a short walk away (Phloen Chit station being closest). The hotel is right on a canal, which has a boat taxi, which is super cheap and fun to take! It isn’t a touristy mode of transport, so it might be helpful to ask the hotel staff for advice. We had a local friend taking us around who introduced us to the boat, but once we got the hang of it, it became our favorite mode of transportation. Finally, the hotel staff and owners are extremely friendly, always making you feel welcome and helping with anything you need. We will absolutely stay at AriyaSom Villa again when we return to Bangkok. Thank you for a fantastic experience! :)

We had a lovely stay at this hotel! It has an old-timey charm with lush vegetation, a beautiful pool, and wonderful service/staff! It is at the end of a street with good privacy, but also walking distance to the Nana Nua pier so very easy to catch a ferry to where we wanted to go. It is walking distance to some fun bars like Havana Club. I absolutely loved the lotion and scented spray available in our room, and the robes and slippers were a nice addition. Our stay included several amenities like complimentary bottled water, fruit, coffee/tea, toiletries in our room and a full breakfast each morning. The food was delicious! We had breakfast here two mornings. The jam is homemade by the owner. The blue cheese that comes on the cheese board is SO good if you are a blue cheese fan. And probably the best miso soup I’ve ever had. We wish we had tried dinner here as well. I would highly recommend staying here! Thank you so much for the hospitality!

We had a wonderful stay at Ariyasomvilla. From the moment we arrived, the service was excellent – the staff were incredibly welcoming, kind, and helpful, making us feel right at home. The airport transfer was perfectly arranged, which made our arrival and departure stress-free.||The breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice, and the restaurant itself is a real highlight – the food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere throughout the hotel is intimate and peaceful, a true oasis in the middle of busy Bangkok.||We stayed in a Deluxe Room, which was spacious, comfortable, and well-designed. The bathroom was large and elegant, and the air conditioning worked perfectly – very welcome after a day exploring the city.||The location is also convenient: within reasonable walking distance to the BTS Skytrain, and there’s a 7-Eleven on almost every corner for anything you might need.||We also enjoyed relaxing by the pool, where fresh towels were always available. During our stay, we had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was as friendly and genuine as the rest of the team.||We would highly recommend Ariyasomvilla to anyone visiting Bangkok – and we would definitely stay here again on our next trip!

My wife suffers from acrophobia. We therefore deliberately choose this hotel (rather than any of the 5 star hotels with Infinity pool) and got a ground level room. Therefore, the setting was perfect for us. • Room: sufficient size for a 4 star hotel, relatively large bathroom, all very clean, no bugs inside, small terrace, some mosquitoes outside (terrace and pool area), hotel provides repellent FOC. • Service: friendly and competent service, helpful, organized within a few hours a private tour (limo, private guide) through Bangkok for us. • Garden & pool area: perfect to relax after a Bangkok tour. • Bar: open until midnight • Restaurant: we had lunch, Curry served was very good. • Location / site: next to hospital, however no respective noise. Going to / from the hotel by taxi can take quite some minutes due to the street being narrow and running through the hospital complex. • All in all: an unspectacular and relaxed small hotel which was due to my wife’s acrophobia ideal for us.

We stayed at Ariyasom Villa, a peaceful and comfortable boutique hotel There's a soft floral scent from the many trees and blossoms around the hotel. It made the whole place feel calm and welcoming. Our room was cozy with an antique four-poster bed and a spacious bathroom. We enjoyed a nice soak in the bathtub after spending the whole day exploring the city. We spent a lot of time by the pool relaxing. It was so peaceful and green that we completely forgot we were in the middle of the city. The staff was so kind, always smiling, and genuinely helpful. They made us feel at home from the moment we arrived, and their warmth was a big part of what made the stay so memorable. Ariyasom Villa is the kind of place that makes you slow down, relax, and enjoy the unique mix of history, Thai charm, and heartfelt hospitality. Truly unforgettable!

Ariyasom certainly has a charm that comes from its history and atmosphere. However, that charm is overshadowed by serious issues that make it difficult to justify the price for what is presented as a four-star hotel. I came here because the vegetarian breakfast was said to be well known, but the reality was far below expectations. The food was plain and uninspired, with no sense of reinterpreting traditional Thai vegetarian cuisine. There were not even proper vegan options, which feels out of step with today’s standards. The bigger problem was the facilities. The beautiful Thai antiques and oriental décor did create brief moments of escape, but the reality behind them was disappointing. Rusty water came out of the taps, and at night the electricity went out, shutting down the air conditioning. I woke up hot and restless, only to realize that my phone and power bank hadn’t charged. For a hotel that positions itself as four stars, such things are simply unacceptable. I also had a Thai massage on the outdoor terrace, but for the entire 60 minutes I had to endure city noise and the smell of food drifting from the neighboring building. In such an open space, the experience was far from relaxing and honestly very disappointing. The staff were kind, and their warmth did ease the disappointment to some extent. Still, outdated facilities, an underwhelming breakfast, and an unsatisfying massage experience cannot be covered up by friendliness alone. Moreover, the quality of hospitality varied from person to person, which made the experience feel inconsistent. Breakfast, massage, and even the spaces themselves offered no real “wow” factor. The hotel seems to lack self-awareness, and while the human warmth of the staff is deeply appreciated, it cannot compensate for all of these shortcomings. That said, I truly appreciated the hospitality of the staff who stored my luggage after checkout and looked after me attentively throughout breakfast. Those moments of care were memorable and will not be forgotten. Ariyasom seems stuck in the glory of awards won more than a decade ago, rather than moving with the spirit of the present. Without real investment and innovation, it is difficult to recommend this place. If you are looking to experience an old Thai vibe, it may be worth a visit. But for those expecting modern comfort and reliable quality from a four-star hotel, I cannot recommend it.

Lovely hotel in the heart of Bangkok. It’s a converted family home. Covered with greenery, flowers, and a Ganesha shrine as you enter the hotel. Excellent food with large number of vegetarian options. The owner is a vegetarian and is personally involved in the restaurant and menu. Very good service. Polite, courteous. Excellent location at one end of Sukhumvit near all the famous shopping centres. WiFi is a bit spotty. Bit of a walk to the main road and Phloen Chit metro station- about 15 minutes. Good for walking, bummer if you’re tired.

We enjoyed breakfasts and a dinner in the restaurant, a massage in the spa and swims in the 25m pool. The room was spacious and well-appointed. The staff were helpful and friendly. The location is about ten minutes walk to the BTS and the canal boat, about 20 minutes to the MRT and ARL. We had a couple of great conversations with the owner and learned about the history of the hotel and the buildings on the site - it is nice to stay in a family-owned and operated establishment rather than a corporate hotel.
