The hotel is surrounded by many archeological and historical sites dating back to the original ayutthaya Kingdom. sala ayutthaya consists of 26 stylish guest rooms & suites, including the luxurious 2-level riverfront duplex & 1 bedroom pool suite.
Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is classified according to Giata.
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
The hotel is hidden away behind a small entrance on the road. Pick up and drop offs outside the small parking area are coordinated by the hotel staff to ensure safety.
The hotel is definitely boutique and is very unique in design and architecture. We were given a lovely River view room with a balcony with a view directly onto the temples across the river.
The room had an open plan bathroom which we normally don't like but there was a curtain for privacy which was fine. The shower was spacious and the room had a bath and large sink area. We liked the quirky design of the room and the bed was very comfortable. The only small negative was the table which although 'designer' had a very sharp metal handle sticking out which was a bit dangerous.
There is a small pool which sits between two of the ground floor rooms, a pretty riverside restaurant and rooftop bar. We loved having dinner and breakfast by the river with the stunning views of the temples which are lit up at night. The food for dinner was really nice but the breakfast was even better. It was all home made and beautifully presented.
The rooftop bar was empty when we went for a drink but the bartender arrived shortly after we entered. The views are great and the cocktails were innovative and expertly made.
We were able to walk to all of the temples starting at 11am with the reclining Buddha at Wat Lokkaysutha then Wat Phra Si Sanpet, Chedi Singha Lom, a coffee at Citrus Coffee, Wat Ratchaburana and Wat Matha That before paying a Tuk Tuk THB 150 to take us to Wat Chaiwatthamaram and another THB 150 back to the hotel.
We only stayed one night but loved this hotel. Kudos to the staff and management for the high standard of accommodation, food and service on offer. We highly recommend this hotel.

The location right on the street does not suggest that behind the scenes there is a beautiful hotel, architecturally based on Ayutthaya's main attraction, the temple complex, in a brick look. The best way to explore these is by tuk-tuk in half a day. The rooms are all unique due to their construction. The hotel's own restaurant, where breakfast is also served, is located right on the river with a view of a temple. The staff is super helpful, like hardly anywhere else in Thailand. One point deducted for the air conditioning, which we were unable to deactivate and which robbed us of sleep every 10 minutes. But that could certainly have been corrected if we had stayed for a longer period of time. So it is still a clear recommendation!

Rooms next to the Chao Phraya River On the opposite side of the river is Phutthaisawan Temple. The rooms have relatively high ceilings. King size bed The room is reasonably soundproof, with a TV and Marshall Bluetooth speakers. There is a living area with a sofa bed looking out the window and seeing the view of Phra Prang and Chedi. Minibar zone: free water, tea, coffee, fruit Before going to bed, the housekeeper comes to turn down service and brings tea packaged in bottles.

We e had a ssuite downstairs with the pool in direct proximity . Room is big and has everything you’ll need including turndown service. They offer free bikes to tour around town. 90 minutes massages for 1100 baht.
Sala has a big restaurant and a separate rooftop bar as well as several hotel rooms and a small swimming pool.
The food is local and not expensive. You can get good local food for 1100 bath for 2 people, including beers.
The most expensive is lobster meal which is only 300 including beers for two.
You’ll be having dinner with a few of some temples, looks perfect.
But to be honest, this perfect view comes for a price; the instagram girls. You can not 5 minutes during dinner without somebody taking a picture where you will be in. Nobody will ask, they just take them at random and you’ll get an “angry” look if you walk to your room, while they are trying to take a picture. Also when you sit at the pool, they keep snapping pictures. There is a sign which says you can not enter if you are not a guest but they just take the pictures from there. We’re from Europe, maybe it’s less invasive there but sometimes it feels uncomfortable.
Don’t get me wrong, you should stay here, it is a good hotel with excellent service at the front desk. Just ignore them.

This hotel has a lot of unique character and is in an excellent location in central Ayutthaya, right on the river overlooking a beautiful temple (that is lit up at night). The rooms are spacious, modern, and comfortable. The staff was attentive and helpful. The main hotel restaurant serves excellent Thai food and there is a cozy bar on the second floor that overlooks the river. Hotel offers some activities such as a two hour boat tour around the river, which was enjoyable and a good way to take in the sites. This is a smaller boutique hotel though. There is no gym and the breakfast is selected from a menu, not a buffet. There are also a lot of stairs and no elevators. If accessibility is an issue then be sure to request a room on the first floor.

The view is breathtaking, authentic Thailand steeped in history and tradition. This is a very contemporary hotel, the design, furnishings and fixtures are stylish and appealing. We loved our river view room with balcony, large comfortable bed, delightful bathroom with circular bath and powerful shower impeccably clean and well maintained. Breakfast is such a joyful experience, delicious food, varied choices, selection of drinks all smilingly served to your table with that amazing view as a backdrop. The staff are very friendly, efficient and helpful. Our second time here, already looking forward to the third.

Firstly, I don’t understand how this property only has four stars. It certainly is worth a lot more than that.
The entire property is beautifully designed and thoughtful in its inclusions and accessories For example, the Marshall speakers, fruit bowls and and Day bed in the rooms,
We ate at the restaurant for both dinner and breakfast . Dinner for a hotel was extremely good value. It was not overly expensive. The food was prompt and delicious. Breakfast was a package of fruit salad and a selection of bread and pastries as well as a hot beverage and a juice as well as then choosing an off menu hot breakfast option, very generous.
Upon arrival the staff were extremely welcoming and helped us to source and rent a motorbike which if you’re travelling around the area is absolutely necessary.
The pool is modern and trendy as are the rooms, I love the high ceilings and the stunning river view rooms are worth paying extra.

Magnificent hotel where we stayed as a family for 4 days. The service is very attentive, the location sublime, the rooms invite you to perfect relaxation, the small swimming pool very pleasant to cool off in and the meals (from breakfast to dinner) extremely good and refined on a terrace with an enchanting view! In short, a flawless one that I recommend to everyone!
