Andrea reviews the Aruyasomvilla, a boutique property in Bangkok.
From the minute you enter Ariyasomvilla and have their Butterfly Pea Juice welcome drink, you know you have just found an oasis in Bangkok. The staff alone make this a worthwhile stay with Khun Mui being a wonderful host at breakfast and Khun Chantalak answering a myriad of questions at the front desk. The rooms are big and comfortable and all the bathrooms have separate showers and bathtubs. The pool backs on to the canal, but a high fence blocks the view; you just occasionally hear the boats rushing by.
The hotel does not offer a shuttle to the Skytrain, but the Ploen Chit stations is a pretty easy 10 minute walk down the soi (street).
This lovely boutique property is the perfect example of a Journeys Within Signature Hotel partner.
Insider Tip: With the canal on one side and a chicken coop out back we recommend a ground floor deluxe room to get the quietest night’s sleep.
