A real find, after staying at another poorly located guesthouse that was steaming hot and looking at other accommodation options on the main streets I was thrilled to find Baan Lotus. Just around the corner from the action yet tranquil and relaxing.
It is at the back of a large block with big trees shading a long driveway. I felt a comforting sense of coming home immediately.
There was an old dog keeping watch for intruders and the owner / management were among the friendliest people you could ever hope to meet.
I stayed longer than planned and even commuted to Bangkok from here.. There are bicycles for rent and all the information you need and transport timetables available. I received only very helpful and honest advice from all the staff I spoke to. From the beginning I was made to feel very welcome, as if part of the family.
Having breakfast above the beautiful pond filled with lotus was a wonderful thing. The restored rambling wooden houses with wide verandahs for retreating from the sun were lovely but I appreciated the surrounding garden most of all. I hope to visit again someday soon.

We stayed here one night for sightseeing in Ayutthaya and we had a wonderful time!
The house is beautiful with a nice garden with a lotus pond.
We took a fan room with own bathroom (450 B), which was huge and very clean.
The owners are very friendly and helpful - do the "TukTuk-Tour" in the afternoon which is offered by the owners: You see the temples outside the "island" and places you wouldn't go on your own!
Lovely guesthouse - stay here if you're going to Ayutthaya :)
