The hotel rooms and common areas are stunning. I have stayed in four rooms here and all are beautiful. The interior design is sensitive to the heritage of the gorgeous buildings, with their abundance of teak, yet the designer has been somewhat courageous with interesting colour choices including chartreuse, orange and pink. Wow, does it work! The hotel is a joyful celebration of colour. The staff are extremely bright, polite, responsive, hardworking and patient. I felt very much at home here. The breakfasts were very good, comprising a delectable fruit platter, fresh juice and good coffee. Some of the hot breakfast dishes were not so good, which I’m sure was simply because of the shortage of staff during the pandemic. The evening meals in the restaurant were always scrumptious and well presented. The gardens are extremely beautiful. I have stayed in far more expensive five star hotels in Bangkok and they don’t compare to this hotel. Yes, some of them offer better breakfasts and more services, such as gyms and drycleaning, but none of them have the ambiance of Ariyasomvilla. Whenever I stay anywhere else, just to check the other hotels out, I always regret it and check out and stay here. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Bangkok again.
