Phra Nakhon Poshtel

Stayed here the 2nd time around and it was still a very pleasant stay. Definitely I will come back again. I prefer this hotel because the area is quiet, it is new and clean and it is close to major tourist attractions, the Wat Po and the Grand Palace. At first I booked the deluxe double room because I was alone however I found the room too small. So I transferred to a bigger room after 3 days, to a family room as it was the only available room during my stay. The family room however was way too big for 1 person. Anyhow, I will give an honest review here to help succeeding guests decide which room to choose. The deluxe double room is small in my assessment even for a single person. This type of room is just basically for sleeping and resting but not for relaxing. No place to hang clothes and with only a very tiny space for luggage. The toilet and bath though is very spacious.[ My next room was the family room which is perfect for couples, group of 3 to 4 persons and for a family of 4 members. I love the family room, it has separate toilet and bath, the powder room is spacious, there is place to hang clothes, a space to keep the luggages and it has 2 king size beds. In the past, we also tried the triple deluxe room and it is as good as the family room, the space is enough for a couple or for a group of 3 persons. The hotel is walkable to these tourist attractions mentioned above if you don't mind walking in the heat. Bangkok is warm all year round. There are two 7-11stores closeby. If you just explore and walk around this hotel, there are many restos and cafes to go to. You can ask for directions from the hotel reception. I passed by a fruit market while riding a taxi to Wat Po. Taking a taxi to the hotel from Wat Po area costs around 100 to 200 Baht depending on the time of the day. The rates are higher during rush hour and drivers charge more when it is raining. The reason they always say is because it is always too difficult to get into the area of Wat Po as it is always congested. There are many tuktuks in Wat Po area but tuktuks are expensive. By foot, it may take around 20 to 30 minutes depending on your pace and how good you are at navigating your way. By car it will take 7 to 10 minutes to get to Wat Po and Grand Palace.

Small hotel with full service, clean and near by the temple

convenient location in the center of the city beside the Grand Palace. It’s close to all the shops and malls. The hotel had amazing staff as soon as we checked in they even let us check in early at 12pm after I notified them that we will be arriving early. The rooms are very modern and clean with 2 king beds that are very comfy. We had the best stay for our first time visiting Bangkok and will definitely choose this place again. Wished it had more amenities like a pool/lounge/gym and would have been perfect
