We chose the Baan Suan as it looks really nice on the website and we tend to be drawn to accommodation with gardens, as is shown in the photos. And yes, there is a reasonably nice garden but that is all this place has to offer. It is extremely overpriced for the standard of accommodation. The bungalows are very small and dark containing two single beds and a small attached bathroom. Everything needs a good clean. The curtains are absolutely discusting and as the beds are right next to them it is very unpleasant. There is nowhere to put anything and it is unbearable to be inside during the day despite the airconditioning. There is a small balcony where one can sit and this is probably the best place to be. And beware - there were tiny red ants all over the bath towels, which my unfortunate husband found out about after they had dried himself and been bitten on the privates. He said their bite was very painful!
The owner/manager is pleasant enough and there are bikes that can be hired. With the price payed for such as terrible room, one would think that the bikes would be included but not so.
Other reviewers have commented on the packs of dogs in the area and I can verify that this is true. I have never seen such a problem with dogs. One night we were surrounded by some dogs and it looked like the situation was going to turn nasty when someone came along on a bike and chased them away. You can hear them barking and fighting for most of the night and they are all around the Baan Suan.
We did not like Ayuttaya at all. Its a shame as there are some interesting ruins to be seen there. It is a horrible dirty town full of dogs. Its also quite disturbing to see the rubbish piles up around ancient ruins and shoddy building going on so close to them.
If you need to stay in Ayuttaya we would recommend Tony's but choose your room carefully. Its worth paying more for the better rooms.
