Good for 1 night stopover

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jun 3, 2012
What really sold us on staying at this hotel was that it was 5 minute walk from the train station. We came to Ayutthaya to see the sights in the old city and ba pa in the next morning before heading even more north by train, and we wanted a convenient location that wouldn't require haggling over fares with tuk tuk drivers. So this place was just that! It's a 5 min tuk tuk drive over the river to the center...we hired a tuk tuk driver for the day who was stationed outside of the hotel. For like $20USD, he took us to every sight possible. Definitely worth it!

The rooms are totally adequate...simple, but clean and quiet. I don't know if anything in Ayutthaya is going to blow you away in terms of quality or luxury, but this seemed like a pretty good choice given the small assortment of choices in the city. The pool was well heated, even if it's not the most glamorous of pools in Thailand.

Our rate included breakfast, which was buffet of both Western and Eastern choices. Also paid for lunch here on our 2nd day before leaving, also buffet but super cheap at like $8USD per person for a huge meal.

We'd probably stay here again if we redid the trip...the pure convenience of the place was well worth it.

We stayed here in April 2012 for 2 nights whilst visiting Ayutthaya. It was an average experience - the rooms were fine but slightly dated alongside the rest of the hotel. The windows overlooking the river/pool could do with a decent cleaning as they hindered the nice views. The bathroom looked like it had been recently updated and the shower was very decent. The hotel was extremely quiet giving it a lack of atmosphere.

The facilities in the hotel were actually very good - there is a bowling alley & snooker hall downstairs, however these are very overpriced and underused. We were disappointed with the attitude of the staff demanding we pay immediately for all facilities rather than being treated as leisurely hotel guests. The hotel is also overpriced for drinks and snacks - a small bottle of water costs 60 baht.

The location of the hotel is ok, the outdoor restaurant looked lovely but we decided against eating there due to alot of mosquitos beside the river. The indoor part of the restaurant was where we had our standard buffet breakfast. The hotel has two other restaurants which was handy as there is no town close by - We dined in the Italian restaurant downstairs on the first night which was also overpriced, overattentive service (too quiet!!!) but lovely food. We ate in the Chinese restaurant on the first floor on our second night where we were served gloopy noodles which was very disappointing. It seemed the only way to get around was by Tuk Tuk - not for the faint hearted and watch out for stray dogs which are in abundance especially around the train station.

We found that the otels in Ayutthaya were not all that great for some reason. I thought this close to Bangkok we would find some decent hotels with reasonable prices. Initially at the Ayodhara Viliage, DO NOT GO THERE!

Krungsri River was comfortable, and reasonably priced but not great. We got there and enjoyed the buffet lunch which was not too bad, good selection of international and Thai and the staff were friendly. Coffee was good!
The rooms were comfortable, at least the AC worked fine which was inportant for the hot season. Not much of a view but then we were just happy to have gotten a room and the place I mentioned above, we couldn't wait to get out of there.
The pool was small but adequate to cool off in. Was very disappointed the next day when we tried to get into the excercise room and work out. Closed until 1400!! what sense does that make to have it closed in the morning times. My only real complaint of the hotel and no one could really explain why.
Breakfast was just OK. Not a great selection, ended up with just the basics of eggs and some meat, juice and coffee and the other didn't look that appealing.
Not bad. Another good thing about their location was if you arrive or depart by train, the station is located only about 800-1000 yards down the road.

Room tip: The adjoining room was a bit noisy for some reason. Also, this place caters to tour groups, a lot of them. Try to get a room that does not adjoin, not sure it would have been any quieter, but it wasn't that bad either.

We stayed for 1 night & were created by friendly staff with an ice cold drink. Out room was on the 7th floor & the window opened wide with no safety features so be aware if you are travelling with children.
The bed, shower & room were just fine, there was a room safe & the hairdryer was in a pretty little bag (nice touch).
The hotel is actually painted white now - see picture. Check in & out was easy.
There is a beautiful gold Wat to the left as you go out of the hotel.
You have to go to the 1st floor to find the swimming pool - & the lifts don't go down to the basement for some odd reason.
The riverside restaurant is a nice environment, but we found the food expensive & overrated - the Lieto restaurant served me raw salmon which we sent back, & the whole meal was very salty. I would definitely eat elsewhere.
We slept fine & the breakfast was fine.
Overall, not much character but offering good facilities - let down by the food for us.

Room tip: Higher the better for the views.

This is a hotel that would not be out of place in any major uk city. A large 4starhotel with all the usual trimmings of pool, fitness centre, massage and 2 restaurants. The only thing is it is so expensive in comparison to the rest of thailand. We paid £48 for 2 rounds of drinks between 6 of us. For a quick stopover to see the sights of ayutthaya it is a very comfortable up market hotel. Unless you are eating there youshould have a very pleasant stay.

Room tip: Ask for a high floor

I ate here with my wife, daughter and daughter's friend on one occasion during my recent trip to Ayutthaya. The view from the outside dining area was pleasant but no better than many of the other, nearby restaurants.
The service was poor and unusually slow. We ordered only 4 main courses and they completely forgot one of them. My wife's food arrived first, but not her rice. 30 minutes later we asked them to take her food back to heat it up until the rest of the food arrived. Eventually another 15 mins later the girls food arrived with my wife's (again) but still no rice and no sign of mine.
The girls ate and I tried to find out what had happened to my food.
Eventually my fried rice arrived - the others had all finished - it was stodgy and unpleasant.
The staff were generally unhelpful and unapologetic.
The price of the food was way more expensive than anywhere else we ate at in Ayutthaya.
and overall poor value for money. I hope we got them on a bad day but even allowing for that I feel the cost would mean I could not recommend this restaurant to other travelers.
