The rather institutional lobby conceals 14 pleasant, vaguely old-school-themed
rooms. Some are on the small side and could use windows, but inviting communal areas
and the leafy, quiet, off-the-beaten-track location make up for this.

Set in an expansive garden compound, this bright and cheery hotel is an atmospher-
ic if not necessarily stupendous-value place to stay. The 31 rooms are attractively fur-
nished with old-timey antiques and wall paintings, and there's massage and endless oppor-
tunities for peaceful relaxing.

Handsome tiles, heavy wood furniture, antique furnishings: the 20 rooms here
have been meticulously recreated to emulate the Bangkok of yesteryear. But modern
amenities (TV, fridge, safe) and thoughtful staff ensure a thoroughly contemporary and
comfortable stay.
