Loved staying at this establishment. If you are looking for somewhere away from the city center and a more authentic local experience, this hotel is in a great location. Multiple unassuming local restaurants with simple yet homey food. The hotel itself is beautifully decorated and well-accommodating. The staff truly went out of their way to help me acquire a local syrup which I really appreciated. The place is on the older side so be mindful that certain modern conveniences may not be as accessible; such as no fridge or tv in the room, and slower charging outlets, but you will have everything you need to survive and explore and it is well worth it. Also note the hotel is a great attraction to families with young children, so if loud kids running around is not tolerable, this may not be for you. Overall, I enjoyed my stay as a solo traveler and would consider this place again.

Very unique with its quirky French style and collection of old TVs from 60s and 70s, grandfather clock and paraphernalia. Staff were excellent. Problems though included climbing 3 flights of steep stairs to our small room,
limited menu that included semi-western breakfast that missed an opportunity to include a classic French breakfast ot classic 'American' or English breakfast. Also, the hotel didn't offer dinner even though there really wasn't much available in the area. No TV or kettle was perhaps in character but again suited an adventurous back packer more than someone looking for a comfortable stay.

Every time I visit here, I feel like I’m home. It’s a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, and offers a nice place to refresh midday as well. The staff are always friendly and super helpful, going above and beyond the call of duty. They helped me to find unique things to do and called the resort I would be visiting next to help with questions about my transfer. The welcome drink was a bonus and they even accommodated me being vegan by making special and unique dishes that were delicious! If you were a bread lover, they freshly bake croissants in the morning and the smell fills the air of the hotel. Laundry on site is genius! Highly recommend a stay here, if you’re traveling to Bangkok!
*In previous visits (pre-covid), they also offered in-house massage, cooking classes that were absolutely phenomenal, and a bar on the roof with incredible views of a wat (temple) nearby and the Rama IX bridge. Hopefully, they will have these amenities back up and running soon! It was one of my favorite features.

This hotel is fabulous & cosy. The entire hotel is decorated and hand painted, with such attention to detail. It’s quirky, but in the best way.

The included breakfast was fabulous and fresh. Lots of variety to cater for everyone.

There’s communal fridges to keep your drinks and snacks fresh. A washing machine and dryer (coins can be changed at the front desk). And a beautiful rooftop garden that is especially exquisite at night. The resident cats in the ground floor were a family favourite.

We felt very safe and secure, with the front desk being staffed 24 hours. There’s a 7-11 on the corner of the lane, with an ATM. And there’s a pretty awesome restaurant (TonHomPakChee) on the corner of two main roads, only a few minutes walk from the hotel.

The only detraction is the location is a bit further away from main tourist hotspots than we thought. Having said that Tuktuks and taxis are easy to find.

Had an excellent stay at Phranakorn Nornlen just in time for Loy Krathong. The room was scrupulously clean, comfortable, and cozy. The entire hotel is thoughtfully designed and taken care of. Cute and functional details are everywhere. The outdoor eating area and covered platform make a nice oasis where you can read or hang out with small kids. On-site laundry machines were very handy. Meals were tasty and fresh, and we enjoyed the staff's Loy Krathong workshop! A unique place to stay. It's not accessible to MRT or BTS but we used Grab to get around/to get to transit hubs and it was effective and cheap. Two cats on site, very chill and friendly.

I was quite impressed with the cuteness and details that Phranakorn-Nornlen has. From before walking through the gate with my name on a welcome board to the cool drink received during check-in, people taking my luggage to the room, comfortable bedding, enjoyable breakfast options even for my gluten-, dairy-, and soy-free diet, constant friendly faces, and an enjoyable pad-thai cooking class. I just felt treated better here than at many, many of my other hundred nights a year on the road I go.

My only niggle is that wifi last 2 hours and 20 minutes before expiring and requiring connecting again. As a digital worker in constant daily calls, this was a frustrating challenge everyday.

We stayed for 3 nights in the Family Room which is actually combined with two rooms. There are A/C and ceiling fan so you won't feel hot inside the room. But lighting is a bit dim for me. Very helpful and welcoming staff. On my last day, we checked out at 4:30am but the staff was still very helpful.

Breakfast is included, and is a fresh simple and usually offers selections of homemade bread, omelette, pancakes and a Thai dish. The staff serving the breakfast are nice and love playing with my little daughters. The hotel is not close to any BTS station and you may need to take a taxi (or call GRAB) to the city big station. Usually, a driver in GRAB will respond within 5 minutes, so not difficult to get a taxi.

Overall, a very nice hotel for family and leisure.

A charmingly conceived small hotel with an abundance of creative, imaginative and unique murals and decorative accessories with warm, worn patina of naive simplicity - themes of streetscapes, birds, books, plants, teapots...

Limited but excellent breakfast with eggs and pancakes to order, a daily Thai special, selection of breads and hot drinks, fruit and salads. Welcoming, helpful staff.

An oasis in the city but not so easy to get around

Nice and rather cozy hotel where one feels good as soon as we've entered the inner courtyard.
Our room was very colorful and overlooking the courtyard and the trees, which was pleasant.
Just a few downsides:
- the location: the hotel is not located alongside the Sky train line, meaning that one needs to grab a cab all the time (which is sometimes not an easy task!)
- the bathroom was pretty basic and the shower water rather cold.

The bed was rock hard, shower was just a hanging shower head in the bathroom, no curtain or anything. And on their Expedia listing and several other website listings it said breakfast was included. Breakfast was not included and that’s one of the reasons we chose this place. For 200Baht per person, we said no way and went to find delicious Thai food on the street or close by restaurants for cheaper. Their breakfast was just sad standard American food like eggs, bacon, ham, pancakes etc.... the hotel was cute, and the staff was super helpful and friendly though which was nice.

If you are looking for some swanky high rise, this is not it. But if you are looking for a cozy spot where you are treated as family, you've found it! The value for the money is incredible. I was pleasantly surprised at the cute welcome message outside the entrance to those checking in on that day. The common areas are so peaceful and meditative with natural sunlight coming in and greenery all around. Breakfast every day was delicious with a rotating special dish and other standard options, as well as a buffet style breads, jams, fruit, juices. I did not eat any other meals than breakfast here during but I'm sure they are just as fantastic. The rooms are so comfortable, cozy, and unique. Many times when you stay somewhere it might as well be in the States, but there is no mistaking you are elsewhere here. Excellent water pressure in the rainfall shower. Our room was one double and one twin bed, both were very firm but I slept like a dream anyway. There were not bathroom amenities quite like you would expect in a larger hotel but soap was provided and shampoo and body wash in a wall dispenser. There are laundry facilities at the bottom of the stairs on the main level. Down where this street meets the main road is a convenience store with any necessities you might need. Tons of street food on the main street in the evening including a noodle soup just opposite the 7 Eleven that is so good. Dock for ferry is maybe a five minute walk. Would stay again for sure!

Beautiful hotel, nestled away in a quiet sidestreet. The hotel rooms and commin areas are absolutely gorgeous, and rooms were very clean. Staff are very friendly, pleasant and helpful. The location is good - easily walkable to Khao San road but far enough that it isnt disturbed by the chaos there. Great for couples or families that want to experience Khao San without spending their entire stay there. Only downside is that it is a bit tough to find- siggest including some very specific instructions (in English and Thai) for taxi or tuktuk drivers.

This place just felt like a little gem oasis in the city. I don't know Bangkok well enough to comment on its proximity to the tourist sites, but it perfectly suited our needs. After our booking, I contacted the hotel directly and they assisted me with private transportation from the airport (BKK) to the hotel and back to the smaller airport (DMK) for our next destination for a very reasonable price ($54 total for private car, two people and two 40 minute-at least- commutes). In addition, we had one hour massages (very strong- not for the faint of heart!) for under $10 each. This place is super cute and has an expat sort of feel with plenty of local hospitality.

What really puts this place above the other places we’ve stayed during our 3 months of travel is the staff. They go above and beyond to make the guests feel like they are family.

Loved it!

This place exceeded our expectations. Breakfast was delicious. Atmosphere of the hotel is what really makes it great. Room is basic but has a lot of character and was very clean. Wish we could have spent more time here.

Best little hideaway.

I stayed four nights at this homey hotel. The staff was very helpful and the rooms were adorably appointed. I took the tie-dye class and enjoyed an afternoon just lazing around. The hotel had umbrellas to use. I hope to return for a longer stay.

Unique, not just an hotel, an experience

Loved, loved this hotel. Over the years I have stayed at many different hotels (5 🌟, etc) and this one is totally unique. This is a ecleptic, creative, fun, relaxed environment. Everywhere you look there is something interesting. On top of this the staff were so helpful and friendly...and the breakfast was fantastic. Not just a stay, but a wonderful experience I will never forget.

A lovely small hotel in the heart of Bangkok

The hotel is a real gem, located in a quiet street not far away from local attractions. The interior is unique, with beautiful old-fashioned touches, in authentic and traditional style.
The staff was extremely kind and helpful. I must mention the breakfast with its choices and quality making probably the culinary highlight of our stay in Bangkok. Superb value for money.

I LOVED this hotel and would return in a Heartbeat.

Fun bedrooms, delicious breakfast, vintage decor, great massages, lovely staff, cute shop for gifts.. it was perfect.

15 minutes from the hectic fun Khao San Road and same distance from the Muay Thai arena - both me and my boyfriend enjoyed the location! There’s also a 7-11 on the corner for any top ups you need.

Cannot Rate it higher.

Quirky Hidden Gem

Love the vibe of this eclectic and kitchy space. Staff lovely, food fresh and wholesome, rooms fun and funky. Offer fun and free things to involve you in Thai life while visiting like taking the guests to see the Grand Palace on a holiday night. Would have liked just a little more space to store our things but other than that it was perfect!

Great place to stay

My wife and I had a great time here. We enjoyed the breakfasts, the friendly staff, a cooking class and a walking tour. We also spent time hanging out and enjoying the place.

Okay for the experience

Location: inconvenient if you plan to use public transportation

Room: very comfortable but bathroom can be improved. Make sure to bring your own conditional and facewash

Breakfast: fantastic! They serve the same menu everyday so you might want to opt out if you plan to stay for more than two days

Reservation: even if you book the twin room, you have to

Staff members: overall nice. When I checked in, the guy working as a receptionist did not know the schedule for the classes the hotel offers or not helpful at first.

Great hotel, wonderful staff

Wonderful conversion of an old school in a charming local place to spend a few days in Bangkok.
But more than that, the hotel staff went above and beyond when I lost my phone in a taxi in Bangkok.
When the taxi-driver called the day after I left, by then hopeless to recover it, they paid on their account for delivery to the hotel and arranged for a driver to get it delivered to the next hotel we were staying.
Thank you again.
