Royal Rattanakosin Hotel - Near Grand Palace & Khaosan Road

The people were very nice

The room was very outdated - could really use a renovation.

The location

Wasn't the cleanest. Rooms are a bit dated. Not a bad experience but not a great one either. I rate as average and not 5 stars.

I walked in and was immediately disappointed. It was unclean, rundown, and the staff didn't speak English atall making requests extremely difficult. Did not even stay one night at this hotel because it was unsanitary.

Outdated, poor customer service, unclean.

Big, clean room. Good breakfast. Good price

Have no

Great location near many of the attractions surrounding the Royal Palace. Good-sized room and furnishings, with a nice bathroom, good water pressure, and hot water temperature. Friendly staff and a nice buffet breakfast.

No complaints. We had a nice stay at the hotel.

Near in parks, temples and night markets.

There was a tiny cockroach in the bread, but the lady/staff change it for us.

I recently stayed at the Royal Rattanakosin Hotel and had a lovely experience overall. The biggest highlight is definitely the location—you’re just a short walk from the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and the lively Khaosan Road. It's a fantastic base for anyone wanting to explore Bangkok’s rich cultural history.The rooms were clean and comfortable, with classic Thai touches in the décor. I stayed in a Deluxe Room, which had a nice city view and plenty of space. The bed was comfy, and the air conditioning worked well—a must in Bangkok!As for the breakfast, it was decent. A mix of Western and Thai options—eggs, sausages, rice dishes, fresh fruit, and some pastries. Not a five-star buffet, but good enough to start your day.The staff were friendly and helpful, and the lobby has a traditional, slightly vintage feel that adds to the charm. The hotel could benefit from a few updates in certain areas, but for the price and location, it’s a solid choice.Would recommend for travelers who want comfort and convenience in the Old Town without breaking the bank.

The room felt very outdated and in need of serious maintenance. The furniture looked worn, and the bathroom had mold in the corners and a persistent musty smell. The air conditioner worked, but it was incredibly noisy and made it hard to sleep. The walls were thin too—I could hear everything happening in the hallway and next door.

A tatty old hotel in dire need of a refurb. Reception staff dismissive and rude, wifi cut off a lot, no top sheet on beds when you arrive, so you have to hasstle to get one. Breakfast buffet dreadful. Rooms with no light painted in bleak colours with peeling wallpaper. A bleak and depressing place. The location is good.

Excellent location for exploring the royal palace and Khoisan Road, but this hotel is long long past its best days

This once grand hotel has seen better days, very dated and tired looking. Reception staff are not very pleasant, don’t bother booking the breakfast as the choice was extremely limited and Khoisan Road is only a 5 minute walk away.We stayed in a 2 bed family room. In fairness the room was ok for our needs but the beds were very hard and uncomfortable, an 8ft x 4ft piece of hardboard would have had more padding!The area immediately around the hotel is filled with scores of homeless people living on the streets and although they don’t bother you some people may find it rather unnerving when walking to the hotel.There are plenty of similarly priced hotels in Bangkok so my advice would be to pay the extra and get somewhere nicer.

Old but still beautiful. The hotel’s hall made me feel like riding a timemachine to the gorgeous past of Bangkok. I’m really loveit! But the guest room is newly refurnished! Very comfy and full facilities! The breakfast is delicious! There is parking lot behind the hotel building. Very convenience.

If there was a handwash soap in the guest room, it would be best! And if you don’t like old place or vintage style. This hotel may made you feel uncomfortable.

Great rooms on the right side of reception, recommend paying the extra for the upgraded rooms. Staff brilliant and location superb.

Traffic can be a little noisy on the rooms close to the road but only a issue if got really bad jet lag and can’t sleep at night.

It was close to grand palace

I had bed bugs and ants in my room

Nothing to like

Old building with no maintenance, dust everywhere,clean plates before food, bathroom doors is a mess

Disappointing

Mattress absolutely shocked to pieces must’ve been on the bed for 20 years dirty room

Nothing about the hotel we liked.

The hotel is listed as a 4 Star. It was more like a 1/2 star. Cancelled and moved to another.

Passable

We were initially put in rooms that were stinky, facilities were the worst ever and staff were not helpful at all. And when asked for help at reception were told that we made the day shitty for them. Toilets overflowed and were told by reception that it was normal. Cleaning staff just unclogged the toilet and didn't wash the floors and were no help at all.

Good location. Pool is nice and cool although rather small for the number of people trying to swim. Breakfast is great though. Bed was surprisingly comfortable. Got lucky with rooms opposite to the busy street. That would be an absolute deal breaker in hindsight, as the road side rooms must be so loud with traffic.

It is very outdated. This hotels heyday was in the 1960's... and it hasn't changed a bit. It needs a serious renovation or literally just tear it down and start over. A lot of the staff seem pretty blah about working here. I don't blame them, it's rather rough. I guess it's a good deal still in terms of price? I would say it is fine for your first 2 days in Bangkok while getting over jetlag... but then move on.

Location. It is walkable distance to Grand Palace, Supreme Court, Coin Musuem and the famous Khaosan Road. But away from Khaosan road noise.

Staff are not courteous. They do not provide information to tourists. Looks like they are under staffed.

Nothing at all .

There were no blankets , soap , hand / face towel in the room . Breakfast is until 09:30 and they serve breakfast with mica glass and plates with very very limited food option . I suggest to stay somewhere else but here , there are plenty of options .

Great location

Room looks a bit old and smells smoke even though it's a non smoking room.
