Hidden gem. Go for a walk or ride at night, the lights around a 5 minute radius are beautiful on the temples. For sure the place to stay for a weekend getaway here. Feels homey, welcoming, traditional, and quality.

Deluxe Room was spacious, nicely decorated, comfortable and very clean.
Breakfast selection was varied, fresh and prepared to order in a timely manner.
Staff (3rd generation family owners) was helpful in arranging a private guided tour of local sights. Staff was readily available when my original long distance transportation fell through and arranged alternate teansportation for me.
Staff recommended excellent nearby restaurant when their restaurant was closed.

It is a beautiful property but it smells like cat piss and some areas do look dirty. We stay in the suite and the bathroom sink was holding out of two wood pieces, not sure if that is safe. Overall for the price that we pay it is okay.

I do think they have as much traffic to fix all the little details, so if you don’t mind a cheap and okay stay support this family hotel that way they can make it better!!

Basic but quaint

This was our first visit to a home stay in Thailand and the hospitality was lovely. Had some great help booking a Tuk Tuk tour of the temples. Rooms are fine, I suggest going for the more expensive room as it was much cosier than the smaller one with a more comfortable bed, bathroom is bigger too and it has a sitting area outside. Lovely family.

expensive and underwhelming for what it is - we booked two rooms in the property on the basis of the images promoted on the website and were very disappointed when we arrived and the rooms were like cells - padlock on door to enter - the air conditioner only worked sporadically so a sweat room to sleep in..also thin walls so very noisy. The shower water in the bathroom ran directly into the bathroom floor - flooding the toilet area until it was able to very slowly drain..

Overpriced and not good location

There are 2 room types..ones in the old teak house that feature on their listing and another cheap concrete block out the back that must be 20 plus years old. Thought we had booked the nice room but seems not. So we pay an expensive price for a very basic room. Location is poorer neighbourhood and barking dogs make for a poor night's sleep. Nice garden area and good breakfast. There are certainly much better value places to be found.

Good for 2 nights but a bit strange

We were made very welcome when we arrived. The room was spacious and looked clean. Breakfast had to be ordered the night before which was bizzare. It was nice but not a lot to fill up on for the day. We had omelette with fruit and toast.
The eating area was always humid, it's all open but will trap the heat. As there is a lot of garden there is about a million mosquitoes about. I had 13 bites when I counted. Even with spray.
The food at night is lovely but they don't start until 7.
You can walk 5 mins round the corner for street food which we did. They also have the sugar pancakes which are amazing.
The owner woman was friendly on the first day and talked a lot but the following day she seemed to ignore us. I think it's because they kept asking us if we wanted a thai massage and I wasn't really bothered to be honest. It was their home and they kept asking us to have one and go on trips. But we turned them all down. We were friendly though.
I probably wouldn't stay again. I like my comforts but it's ok for a few days. Location is great though.

Thai home with style

A beautiful atmoshpere with lots of plants and flowers in this tradional Thai family home. The standard rooms to the rear are the preferred for my taste( I stayed in 2 diff rooms)very minimal large with creative details. The upstairs single in the main house was cramped and loud from street noise. Famtastic outside sitting areas and across from another park of Ayuttaya ruins. Crazy middle of the night drunken singing may have been because of the New Years weekend.

This hotel is awesome. The owners are extremely friendly, the breakfast is superb. It is a 3 minute taxi ride away from the middle of the city. Located across the street from some ruins, it is a nice escape. The community area is very well thought out, almost as if you are in a jungle hut...very nice. Very clean hotel that I have zero complaints about. Do not hesitate to book there. I am an avid review reader before I book anywhere. Will definitely stay again on my next visit.

Nice stay

Nice little place away from town. The room was perfectly fine although the shower is something to get used too, as there's no tub and the water goes everywhere. The food was a highlight of this place, all the food we tried was amazing. The hotel also arranged a boat tour for 200 THB where we got to see a number of nice wats. There is a lovely man around the corner where you can hire bikes for only 50 baht for the day.

Only downside was our laundry was still wet which may have been down to rain which obviously can not be prevented, but we had to wash this again after as the smell was bad

とにかく遠かったです。

一泊だけの利用でした。レンタサイクルあるように翻訳されていますが、近所のレンタサイクルの案内でした。パスポートを預かるレンタサイクルなので、断ってしまいました。
雰囲気はいいところですが、とにかく町の離れにあるので、200バーツくらいかけてトゥクトゥク的な乗り物でいくしかありません。
のんびり連泊するならいいのかも。
