Baan Wanglang Riverside, Bangkok

The hotel is excellent, spacious and clean room, right on the river within a 2minute walk to the ferry and river boats at pier 10. Directly opposite the grand palace, with Wat Pho and Wat Arun within easy walking distance too. The attached restaurant, coffee shop and two bars were great, riverside with plenty of seating for those relaxing river views. The staff were very helpful and eager to help with any enquiries. There is a complimentary tuk tuk service to the main road, because taxis can’t really get to the door, but the easiest way is to get the taxi to pier 10 and walk down the alleyway through that end of the Wang Lang market, which is right on the doorstep.

This is our 3rd time staying at Baan Wanglang Riverside and I can't imagine staying anywhere else. The staff are amazing. Always there to greet you with a smile and ask how your day was. The room is the big draw for us. Always immaculately cleaned, very comfortable bed and the best view in the hotel. If you love waterways the busy Chao Phraya River and the Riverview Room is the place you want to be. The balcony feels like it is hanging over the river and there is nothing else between you and it. The room has a panaramic view stretching from the Rama VI Bridge past Chinatown and Wat Arun. The view at night is unbelieveable. On top of the view the location for us is unbeatable. If you want to be part of old Bangkok this is where it's at. The hotel is part of Wanglang Market. A non-touristy market on the other side of the river. Fabulous food and other goods at great prices. The hotel is easy to get to. #10 Pannulok Pier watertaxi stop or cross the river on a little "ferry" for pennies to land at the Wanglang Pier and you're there. When we leave the Baan Wanglang it always feels like we are leaving "home". Thank you to Nan, Thip & Channy for making us feel so welcome once again. We will see you someday again.

I was very happy with my stay at this hotel. Everyone who worked there was friendly and helpful, from the desk clerks to the restaurant staff to housekeeping. The room was clean and everything was provided, including restocking water every day. The AC worked well (very important in the heat!) and the bed, although a little firm, provided a great night's sleep. The hotel was right in the Wang Lang market, so getting a quick bite to eat was easy. It was also very close to the ferry dock, so going across to the Grand Palace was easy to do. Breakfast at the restaurant was a real value with good choices and very very flavorful. The restaurant staff were also a joy to see. I also had one dinner there and it was very good and reasonably priced.

This riverside hotel in Bangkok was an excellent base for my 5 day stay in Bangkok. Stepping out of the hotel you are straight into Wanglang market during the day and the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. In the evening and night though it's very quiet and relaxing. You only have to walk about 100m to get to the piers where you can either get a ferry to the opposite pier for 4.5 Bhat each way or you can get one of the boats to take you further along the river (fares range from 16-30 Bhat approx). I found using the 4.5 Bhat ferry and walking perfect as once across the river you are close to many of Bangkoks attractions. The hotel itself was excellent and the staff so attentive and helpful, there are 2 good bars and a good restaurant on site and though expensive by Thai standards still very reasonable when compared to Western prices. I would not hesitate to stay here again if passing through Bangkok.

It’s a beautiful property. Very easy to get to the grand palace (turn right out of the hotel, 2nd alley on the right and it’s the ferry right in front of you. Just get on it, as all it does is go back and forth over the river. You pay cash on the other side, 4.5 baht per person). The rooftop bar is fab, as is the ground floor one, if a bit pricey.
