The staff was over-the-top welcoming and helpful. The district is not "central" but for that same reason grittier and more authentic than many other similarly-priced B&Bs in Bangkok. The hotel itself is like an oasis of charm and cleanliness in a bustling working neighborhood. There is a great open market just four blocks away. It's a €2-3 taxi ride to many major sites and embarkation points along the river, and the hotel runs its own tuk-tuk, too. Our room was extremely comfortable and well-appointed. Housekeeping was top-notch. The value proposition here was unusually high. Most of all the gourmet breakfasts were the best we had in all Thailand this trip.

I know just where to begin. The customer service my wife and I got was the best We’ve had in 32 years. The young team went out of their way to make our 32nd anniversary stay a personable and memorable one. From the nice flowers that greeted us with a happy anniversary card after midnight, yes they left the lights on just for us 😊, to the wonderful breakfasts they served with such care. Each morning, just as we finished breakfast, we were asked about our plans for the day and given very helpful insights into the best shopping and tourist locations and then always placed with care in a tuk tuk to get us to the sky train or water taxi to begin our daily excursions. This is a small B&B, quaint and nicely decorated. I’m definitely going to stay hear again when we come through on our way to Vietnam next year.…

Nothing more i can add which i have not posted in my previous reviews except that it is not far to the beautiful new Siam Icon Mall which has to be my new favourite mall in Bangkok. Will be back again next time we have a stop over in Bangkok Thank you.

This was my favorite place to stay during my three weeks in Thailand. It's location was perfect, only 1.5 km from the BTS and a few km from the river transportation. There was coffee shops, bars, malls and local food stalls and stores all within a few kilometers walk. We never had to pay for a taxi, we took the BTS, MTR and river boats the whole time all over the city. This was the only place that provided a local map which was so helpful. It was in the middle of a residential area so there no tourists which was what my husband and I were looking for. The staff were so very helpful and accommodating. The room was very clean and the ac was such a nice break from the heat. Although you were smack in the middle of the city the beautiful natural materials and designs of the building and the garden area made for a relaxing environment. They were only place we stayed at the offered a thai breakfast option, which we took appreciatively so enhance our experience of the culture. They were also accommodating for my vegetarian diet (thank you!). We will definitely be staying here again when we come back.…
