CHANN Bangkok-Noi

The property is unique. Forty meters of the CP River on a busy canal. It’s so peaceful in an old riverside alleyway neighborhood. Very cool, all the way!

I liked everything about the property.

We were not informed until after we booked our room, which was non refundable, that this hotel is located in the interior of a local village. We were send a message saying that we would have to have our driver drop us at a parking area and walk the remainder of the way to the hotel. We did not realize until we got there. However, that this was a 10 minute walk through alleyways and quite literally the homes of people. To get anywhere, you are having to walk back out to that parking area to be picked-up by car/motorbike. We did not arrive until later in the evening, when it was completely dark, leaving us to have to navigate to this place through the dark alleyways of a village to find the accommodation. Even our driver told us to be careful walking through that area at night. It is very disconnected from public transportation. The location is abysmal. This was all incredibly misleading, fraudulent at best, because none of this was disclosed until after booking, and the full extent of it not realized until arrival. It's almost as if they know people won't book here if they know in advance (we wouldn't have). We had paid extra for a "garden view" room, only to find our room overlooked the local dump (see photo). When I went to find someone the next morning, no one was around. The desk is not staffed 24 hours. No one arrives until 9 AM (breakfast doesn't even *open* until 9:30 AM? Breakfast is usually ending by then). This is concerning given than anyone can walk into the completely unsecured property off the street and right to the open-air building containing the rooms. This property is very clean and the rooms very cute, which is unfortunate given the rest of the experience. The only positive was that after a frank conversation with the hotel team (via WhatsApp, again, no one at the property), they agreed to contact Booking.com and ask that our money be refunded (it was).

Location on the river and slow neighborhood are perfect. Helpful staff.

staff was accommodating on food restrictions. They are also friendly and kind.

Staff got the time of our breakfast wrong and also got our order wrong. Also we were the first people down at breakfast room (with earliest bf appointment) but people that came later were served bf before us. Hotel is not good when it rains as the rain splashes everywhere on staircase, making it impossible to go to your room when in rains. After the rain stops, puddles were left unattended leaving high risk for customers to slip and fall (very dangerous)! When we left the hotel, the staff was kind to walk us to our car as the walk way out was flooded due to high tide. Not a good location ideally as weather seems to have major affect on getting here and also while staying at the hotel!

Highly recommend for those looking for an oasis of peace in Bangkok. Chann Bangkok Noi is a charming boutique hotel on a canal just off the Chao Phraya river. The traditional Thai design feels a bit like living in Jim Thompson House. It's a very special building.The hotel is tucked away down an alley and there is no direct vehicle access. Possibly a negative for some, but for me, the walk through the Bangkok Noi neighborhood adds to the charm. Staff members will greet you at the head of the alley to help with baggage and show you the way. Nice touch.For getting around town, the main road is a short walk away, with many bus routes stopping there. But even better is the river boat pier by Phra Pinklao Bridge. Sites like Wat Arun are an easy boat ride away. Piers across the river link you to rapid transit lines.The staff were welcoming and always very helpful. They made me feel relaxed and at home.Breakfast in the IMM restaurant on site was very good, and the servings were generous. The restaurant interior was pleasant, but I chose to sit outside most mornings to enjoy the breeze and the canal view. I also enjoyed dinner and lunch a couple of times, too. The food was well prepared and had it's own unique spin on Thai favourites.

There are not many electrical outlets in the room, though there was a handy one next to the bed. The lighting was not ideal for me, as I prefer eye-level lighting to ceiling pot lights. A bedside lamp helps me feel cozy before sleep.Not the hotel's fault at all, but...the party boats on the canal were disruptive some nights. The long-tail boats roaring past frequently into the evening were also very loud. But somehow those were less disturbing than the boom-boom-boom of dance music echoing across the water. Whatever...it's still the big city, after all.

Had a very pleasant & relaxing time at CHANN. Staff were VERY kind and helpful with every small issue. Rooms were as depicted in the photos and very clean. The common area was convenient for remote work as there are ventilation and quiet atmosphere.

Location alongside the canal. Nice architecture.

When we arrived we were given a room that smelt badly of sewage. We mentioned this to the receptionist. She said she already knew about the problem. The hotel was essentially empty so I wonder why, when she knew of the problem, she gave us that room. They moved us to another room when we raised the issue.

the design and the river

my room was comfortable for the money but it was overlooking straight to the building/apartment across. staff at check in counter were excellent but in the restaurant they were unfriendly. they didn't say thank you or goodbye when left and it was empty ( i was the only customer ) didn't like the 'soi' going to the hotel

The staffs are very helpful and friendly, especially the 4 legs staffs ?I came on weekend, found a nice live music by an uncle who sang and played instruments all by himself.The atmosphere and panoramic view of the Chaopraya river were beautiful at night. If you looking for an isolated and calm residence in this chaotic city, CHANN maybe your answer. The room is quite large and the facilities is nice.

This residence is located in the community of Bangkok-noi so quite difficult to reach, walking through the alleys only.Maybe due to it is wooden-style hotel near the river, I found many of red ants in the room and on the bed and they did not let me sleep ? very stingy.To add more, the room is not sound-proof so I can hear the second floor walked, hear people from outside the room chit-chat and hear next room talking at 1 AM (another reason I cannot sleep) have to kick the wall to shut them up (seriously 1 AM)Lastly, as I mentioned that I found red ants on the bed, the mattress and blanket are not comfortable either. very paper-like

It was an amazing stay. It was a pity we stayed only 3 days. The view was really beautiful and I could have just sat there looking out without exploring Bangkok. The restaurant had nice food too.The best part was that they had a cat and 2 kittens which were really friendly. Better still they had 4 tortoises in the lobby. My so really liked them.

There was really nothing I did not like. The only comment I can make is that the hotel is not accessible by car so we had to walk in and out but the staff were helpful and it was fun.

The staff was amazing, very good service and the helps us to order plain tickets The room was very comfortable and the bed was very good and large The view was lovely and amazing to the river The hotel was in a quiet area

The had 3 very large turtles in a very small area That was very sad ?

The view is amazing

There are ants in the room,little gecko in shower cabin.can’t have a proper dinner outside without mosquitoes repellent.no access with car/taxi.

Loved the hotel, it's very charming and made from Thai wood which gives it a very authentic feel. The staff are extremely accommodating and will go above and beyond to meet your needs and a lot of them speak English fluently so it's very easy to communicate, etc. Staying on the river is quite a peaceful experience in the midst of the chaos of BKK.

Personally, the location was not ideal for us. We'd initially picked it based on the aesthetic/ vibe and whilst we were at the hotel it was absolutely lovely, but traveling to and from the hotel around BKK was quite inconvenient.

We loved the location with the room overlooking the canal, the staff, the room (particularly the lighting. The ambience of the shared areas (particularly the addition of vinyl) - just a lovely lovely place to relax

The room wasn't well sound proofed. The food and cocktails offered were pleasant but disappointing and weren’t on par with the quality of the stay.

Breakfast was excellent. Service was friendly and courteous. The sitting/reception area is relaxing and inviting. The riverview was very nice.

Getting to the hotel is not that bad (unpleasant but tolerable) but it is a strange concept to build a hotel that has limited road access/no parking (in the property). The room has good design but has details that made it not so nice. Ex. The wooden floor has protruding nails, very moldy shower curtain, bathroom tiles with entirely chipped grout, torn wallpaper, and the wooden structure that is not soundproofed (bring ear plugs). There was also a small centipede (about 1.5 inch) while showering; it came from the gap in the tiles. An idea for hotel guests: there is a public boat pier (Pinklao Pier) about 800m from the hotel. You can take the river taxis to see all the riverfront attractions (e.g. The Grand Palace, Wat Arun, Tha Tien, etc.)

Amazing river and sunrise view. Loved the fact that you need to go through little streets to get to the discreet entrance of the hotel.

I missed my booking that day because of a mess created by Turkish Airlines. However, I am here now with a new booking. The staff is incredibly supportive. Everything is beautiful and quiet. The location is very local and nice 30 min walk away of my favourite location in Bangkok, around Samsen road. Highly recommended in case you enjoy a quiet, comfy place to rest and sleep.

It is situated by the canal, breakfast is generous portion, spacious and well-designed bathroom.

The location could not be reached by car, have to walked on the pedestrian in the community. Noisy boats started early morning, disrupted sleep.

Housekeeper is really helpful and they are polite.

Unprofessional reception on our first day of checking in. Reception did not notice next room was having party with loud music and noise, and my room was shaking. We told reception about it and she was useless and said could not do anything and to wait before mid night or change the room with extra fee. Staff could be more helpful if notice us that next room was having party and should not put us next to them. Staff was upset that we wanted to change our room! Oh yes We did paid for our room and we didn’t ask for free. Her face and her tone were unfriendly and unprofessional.

It’s riverside location with a lovely decking to sit on

Slightly difficult to find on the first day!
