This place can be a challenge to get to. You will have to traverse some narrow roads to get there. Also, trying to communicate with a taxi driver to tell them where to go can be rather difficult, unless you have GPS or a Mobile WiFi device and a smartphone with Google maps. The staff was friendly, although some of them didn't speak English all that well. The location is very close to Wat Arun, a well-known temple in Bangkok. From Wat Arun, you can take a ferry across the river to Wat Pho, Temple of the reclining Buddha and The Grand Palace. I wouldn't recommend staying there for more than 3 or 4 days. You could easily see everything in the nearby area within that time frame. We rented a 2 bedroom apartment style room for about $80/night including taxes and fees. The pool is outside, which seems to be common in Bangkok. Bring sunscreen or buy it there. The average taxi cost to get anywhere from here was around 100 baht or slightly more ($4 US).
