Absolutely charming staff
I stayed at Ariyasomvilla because it was right next to Bumrungrad Hospital where I was being treated. I chose it because of the charm of the old building and the lush garden and I couldn't have chosen better.
I arrived from the airport at 7am expecting simply to leave my bags and bide my time until I could check in, but was extremely pleasantly surprised to be given a spare room in which to sleep and shower until my room was ready - at no extra charge!
The Manager was around a lot and was very friendly and quick to give advice and the staff was absolutely wonderful. Room service was quick and the vegetarian restaurant makes delicious fresh food and juices. My room was enormous and nicely decorated with tropical hardwood floors and tasteful artefacts. The only possible criticism would be that it was a bit dimly lit.
The pool is salt water and nice and long so you can do lengths. The garden is a little smaller than one thinks from the pictures and you can hear the noise of Bangkok nearby, but all in all, this is an oasis of peace and beauty in an extremely well located part of chaotic central BKK. The BTS is 5 minutes' walk and the hospital about 3. I will be returning to Ariyasomvilla even if I am not there for medical treatment!
