Hotel Details

Location

Situated on the Chao Phraya River in central Bangkok, a 5-10 minute walk from the Grand Palace, with immediate access to ferry services and local markets.
The boat stays permanently moored at a pier in the old city, placing the Grand Palace, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, and the National Museum within a short walk. A local ferry station is one minute away, offering a 5-Baht crossing to Wang Lang Market on the opposite bank. Khao San Road is 20 minutes on foot. The area is also well connected by river boats and walking routes. Suvarnabhumi Airport is 35 km away; Grab Taxi is the recommended transfer method.

Accommodation

Four double-bed cabins, one with a private ensuite bathroom. All rooms are air-conditioned and include tea and coffee making facilities.
Each cabin is compact but comfortable, featuring a double bed, air conditioning, and access to shared balcony areas with river views. The V-Hull cabin is the largest cabin available. The single ensuite bathroom cabin is the most requested option and should be booked early. Shared bathrooms are equipped with showers. Daily housekeeping ensures a clean environment. Those sensitive to motion may notice rocking during the day; the boat becomes still in the evening. Shared spaces include a rooftop terrace, a garden terrace, and a hammock for relaxation.

Dining

No on-site restaurant, but complimentary coffee is served in the morning. A fully equipped shared kitchen is available for cooking.
The property does not operate a restaurant or serve breakfast, but the host provides morning coffee. The shared kitchen is stocked with a refrigerator, microwave, toaster, cookware, and utensils, allowing meal preparation. A minimarket on site sells snacks and drinks, and vending machines offer additional items. The surrounding streets are filled with local eateries and street food stalls; the Wang Lang Market, across the river via a short ferry ride, offers a wide variety of authentic dining options.

Wellness and Leisure

Sun terrace, garden rooftop, hammocks, and board games. Free sun loungers and umbrellas provided.
While there is no pool, spa, or gym, the leisure focus centres on the river experience. Relax on the sun terrace or garden rooftop with free sun loungers and umbrellas. Board games and a hammock add to the downtime options. Outdoor barbecue facilities are available free of charge. For added activity, bicycle rental and bike tours can be arranged on site for an extra fee. Temporary art galleries are accessible off-site.

Facilities and Services

Free WiFi in public areas, shared lounge, business centre (fee-based), express check-in/out, and currency exchange.
