Several rooms measure 30 or 32 m² and sleep up to three or four guests, with air conditioning and satellite and cable channels in several of them. Guests can also choose from more than one bed set-up in one of the rooms, and each room is described below with its own size, capacity and equipment.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms, and Wi-Fi also covers the public areas and special events. Free parking is available on site, and bicycle parking is provided. A taxi service, a 24-hour front desk and 24-hour security are part of the hotel's services.

Business travellers have business facilities and meeting rooms, with projectors, LED displays and audio-visual equipment for special events. Meeting stationery is also available, and seminars and meetings can be held here.

The hotel is family and child friendly, with a babysitting service, and a doctor or nurse can be called. Food delivery is offered, and an elevator serves the building. The hotel is wheelchair accessible, daily housekeeping is provided, and safety deposit boxes are available.

Bangplad is a neighbourhood of Thonburi, on the western bank of the Chao Phraya River, with local markets, temples and residential streets. The hotel stands on Borom Ratchonni Road, so the surroundings feel local rather than touristy. Across the river, the old city's temples and palaces are reached by ferry or taxi, and the rest of Bangkok is reached through the city's main roads. Free parking is available on site for guests who drive.

Practical links are close: the Southern Bus Terminal is 450 m away for long-distance coaches, and the Bang Bamru SRT station is nearby for rail services. Wat Arun, the riverside temple with its tall prang, is 4.8 km away on the Thonburi bank, and the Grand Palace is 4.3 km away on the other side of the river. Taling Chan Pier, 2 km from the hotel, is a Chao Phraya ferry terminal, and the National Museum of Royal Barges is in the same riverside area.

A full day could begin at Wat Arun, then cross the river to see Wat Phra Chetuphon, home to the reclining Buddha, and the Grand Palace nearby. In the afternoon, the National Museum of Royal Barges shows the royal barges used in ceremonies. The Chatuchak Weekend Market is best saved for a separate trip across the city.
