Inn a Day

I really love this family run boutique inn. It has so much character and you really feel immersed in old Bangkok. The design is interesting and meaningful. Sure, it looks good for the 'gram, but more importantly it feels authentic. This is my second time staying here and I hope to return for future trips to Bangkok. The family who manages it is so kind. They are quiet and give you as much space as you want, but are also readily available to help out in any way. They give honest insider advice, so you can be sure you're in good hands. The rooms are character filled. The bed and pillows are truly the most comfortable I've had in Thailand. The views over the river are out of this world. While there is construction on the pier in front, there is no noise at all. There is just a green transparent fabric shade over the construction, but if it gets in the way of your photos from your room window / balcony you can go to the top floor of the hotel to take unobstructed photos from the open lounge space. Other reviewers have mentioned the rooms are a bit dark - it's true there isn't much by way of artificial lighting, but the natural light from the windows overlooking the river is usually sufficient. There is a console shelf in the room I stayed in (4pm) that I used as a laptop desk. Many of the hotels in the area have a restaurant or cafe between them and the river, or they have a rooftop restaurant, which means there is a bit of noise. Here the rooms are truly riverfront, and the public restaurant is on the main floor, so the rooms are quite peaceful aside from the boat noises, which I enjoy. The breakfast is also delicious and very filling.
