Great hotel in the perfect location. There are only a few hotels in this river-front area of Bangkok. I have been to all of them. They all have trade-offs, but you can't go wrong with this choice.

To my understanding the are only a handful of boutique hotels with views of the river and the old city of Bangkok: of these, the Ibrik is a bit on the small side for a family with kid and is on the other side of the river, so you have to take a ferry to visit around, and the Arun... More

We stayed in the Aurum for 3 nights in Jan 12. It was quiet, very clean, great breakfast, lovely staff, all at a reasonble price. Little Gem of a Hotel. Thanks Aurum. More

Returned to the Aurum with my college-age son for 10 days in Bangkok. I can't imagine staying any place else due to location, price and excellent serice. My room was ready at 2:00 in the morning, they arranged my bus connection to visit Hell Fire Pass 3 hours from Bangkok, opened up their private pier for a long boat tour... More

The Supatra across the river from... More
