Location925Strength
While the property is comfortable and well located, the only minor drawback if you stay more than a couple days is the breakfast: it can feel a bit repetitive since the daily selection remains mostly the same.

The location is very central and perfect for exploring Bangkok and getting around the city easily.

Amara is the perfect example of a hotel you would want to stay in Bangkok: great room, great pool, great view, and great breakfast.

However, the breakfast doesn't change and becomes repetitive on longer stays.

Beautiful hotel with a nice swimming pool and pool bar on the roof.
Google, July 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest
Visiting cities like these takes a lot of physical effort if you want to take advantage of it and having a space like this hotel to rest or go swimming in the pool is perfect.

Too expensive for what it offers; the pool is in front of the rooftop bar, which is public, and everyone can see you swimming.
