Chakrabongse Villas, Bangkok, Thailand - Explore & Book

"In the heart of the city, with skyscraping condos, aquatic shanty towns and traffic-clogged avenues stretching for miles in every direction, lies this oasis of calm. Leafy gardens, tall palms, colourful frangipanis, raised wooden decks and a flower-ringed swimming pool usher you into a distant dream world. But the view from the floating pavilion is pure Bangkok: across the Chao Phraya’s busy waters, Wat Arun (the Temple of Dawn) and Wat Kalayanamit flank, like exotic spaceships, the fortress of Vichai Prasit.This hidden pearl among river-front hotels is the 100-year-old residence of Prince Chakrabongse (pronounced Jackapong), 40th son of the prolific King Rama V and hagiographer of the Chakri Dynasty. It now belongs to his granddaughter Narisa. At the end of its gardens are some lovely little Thai-style cottages housing 4 suites; while an annexe attached to the main house contains 3 cosy rooms for travellers watching their baht. Whether you’re a romantic couple, a discerning group of friends or a family looking for a home from home, it feels like a privilege to stay here. Highs We loved the sense of space and tradition in the wooden Ayutthaya-style cottage suitesOur Thai dinner was one of the most memorable we've eaten in Bangkok - sitting at low candle-lit tables in the riverside pavilionThis is a real haven in a big bustling city, with a beautiful garden setting right by the river, and views to Vichai PrasitA plush and powerful James Bond-style speedboat (extra cost) for exploring Bangkok the authentic way, via its extensive river and canal networkA real sense of privilege and seclusion, and you often have the grounds and pool to yourselves Lows Since we first trumpeted this place, rates have risen to 4-star-hotel levels, but that is the price of such an exclusive venueThe 3 annexe rooms are pretty small, but you can relax in the gardens tooExpect noise from the longtail boats whizzing up and down the river - especially early in the morningIf you want to eat lunch or dinner at the hotel you need to let the staff know several hours in advance, which could irk someWe would have loved to look around the impressive palace building; but sadly it's still a private residence and is closed to hotel guests" - Michael Cullen

What an amazing hotel. It’s centrally located near some of Bangkok’s biggest sites, but it feels like a peaceful oasis. The rooms were comfortable and had a Thai flair. The grounds have absolutely beautiful landscaping, plus a view of the river and Wat Arun. Ohm and the team could not have been kinder. They were very accommodating when there was an issue with the air conditioner (which was out of their control), and Ohm gave us some good suggestions for the area. Breakfast at the hotel was amazing. We just wish we would have stayed for dinner!

This is a small boutique hotel within walking distance of the Reclining Buddha and the Grand Palace. There is a wide choice of restaurants nearby. The hotel is a calm oasis with beautiful gardens and swimming pool. We loved having breakfast overlooking the river watching the boats go by. You can also see the Wat Arun. The staff are very attentive. Our room was upstairs in the Thai Garden View room - (not suitable for persons with mobility difficulties). A pleasant room surrounded by trees and felt very private. A bit dark inside and could do with brighter ceiling lights. Overall I would definitely recommend staying here.

Lovely boutique hotel by the river.|Great staff !|Chakrabongse Villas is a special place.|The River View Suite was especially wonderful and spacious. Private Breakfast was excellent.|While we ate on the banks of the Chao Praya, we could see Wat Arun temple.|I wish, I could stay there a few nights next year! It's so amazing!|I recommend the owner:|1) add Dinner room service|2) Improve this problem:The suite is soundproofed, so at night you can hear the noise of the boat engines.

Wonderful quiet oasis in the heart of Bangkok's tourist center. A few rooms/villas nestled in a park-like setting facing the river, Wat Arun right across. The moment the gate shuts behind you, birds replace the sounds of the city and everyone seems to want to make the entire experience nothing but pleasant and relaxing. "Ohm" took fantastic, personal care of us, "Natt" added a very personal touch to the superb dinner experience. |The river-view villa was comfortable, the front room an unexpected little haven. A variety of seating outside with views of temples, the river, and at night bats above. Right in the city and yet seemingly so removed.|Breakfast was a perfect start for every day and our trip to Thailand, the pool an opportunity to refresh each morning.

This place is a hidden oasis inside the busy city. Walking distance to many popular attractions and the perfect retreat to relax inbetween. The service was wonderful. The restaurant was also superb. We can’t wait to return.

Chakrabongse Villas is a special place. One of the best things I did when planning my husband’s and my Bangkok visit is take the advice of a reviewer who basically said, ‘Why stay at a chain hotel/resort, when you can stay at Chakrabongse?’ When you walk through the gates, you sense the place’s history. And Ohm, the manager, can tell you about it. For one thing, you walk right past the private house that belongs to the owner, who’s the granddaughter of the prince who built the house back in 1908. We stayed in the River View Suite the first two nights, and in the Garden View Suite our last night on our return trip to the city. The River View Suite was especially wonderful and spacious. Not just Ohm, but all the people who work there are wonderful. Ohm gave us the great tip to explore the 24-hour flower market nearby after dinner. Dinner was different each of the three nights, and delicious. Yes, we ate there each night! We tired ourselves out sightseeing during the days, so coming back to the quiet of Chakrabongse for dinner, knowing we had a table saved for us, and wonderful Natt to tell us about all the dishes, was great. Breakfast was yummy, too. While we ate our dinner on the banks of the Chao Praya, we could see Wat Arun temple across the river, golden in the night. Some tour/party boats, with the occasional egret floating along on a pad of grass, would pass by. And we didn’t find those boats one bit noisy or annoying. It was all a wonderful show. I wish I could stay there a few nights every year!

The property itself is peaceful and pretty. River view suite was huge, very clean, large comfortable bed. Massive private terrace although the boats can be noisy day and night so sitting on the terrace wasn’t as relaxing as we expected (you can’t hear them from inside the room).|No bar and restaurant only provides the special banquet - which was a great experience although expensive - but some excellent restaurants overlooking the river within 4 minutes walk

Chakrabongse Villas is like no place I’ve ever stayed before. It’s essentially a royal mansion / estate that has been partially converted into a small, boutique hotel. If you like hotels that reflect the local culture and character – as opposed to staying at a chain hotel with no personality – then this is definitely the hotel for you. ||The incredible attention to detail in the rooms and the grounds; the amazing view across the river to Wat Arun; the authentic local cuisines they serve; a refreshing dip in the pool at the end of a hot day; the central location with easy access to the MRT, Boat Transit, and Sightseeing – My wife and I left feeling fortunate that we had the opportunity to stay here while on vacation in Bangkok. ||It was an experience we will never forget. Highly recommended.
