Old Bangkok Inn
Located on the site of a former palace The Old Bangkok Inn is a restored bijou boutique bed and breakfast in the heart of Bangkok’s historic old quarter. Family run, it exudes a homely, olde-worlde ambience where personal touches and quirky decor are the norm. The glass fronted exterior and tea shop-like lobby of The Old Bangkok Inn is characterised by ornate armoires, dainty bird cages, antique furniture and jazzy music and feels not unlike the French cafes of Normandy from where the owner - charismatic Nantiya - took her inspiration. The Old Bangkok Inn is a great value hotel - unique and memorable - and one with great eco-credentials including optional charity donations at check in (which the hotel will match), solar power, water-saving taps and energy saving light bulbs.
Inspired by Thailand’s floral offerings, each room at The Old Bangkok Inn is named and decorated after one of five flowers and characterised accordingly with murals, metalwork and a specially chosen colour palette. The hotel has been designed to combine traditional elegance with modern amenities and the rooms offer a range of special features such as beautifully hand-painted ceramic washbasins, personal computers with broadband internet access and gorgeously scented toiletries with fragrances to match each floral theme. Much of the hotel has been furnished with Thai golden teak rescued and restored from the historic capital of Ayutthaya alongside generational antiques and locally made silk curtains and throws.
Delicious breakfasts, simple snacks and refreshments are available to guests at any time however since The Old Bangkok Inn is a Bed & Breakfast don’t expect restaurant facilities. Nantiya and her staff are great sources of information on Bangkok and many of the city’s most historic attractions including the Grand Palace, the Emerald Buddha, the Queen Sirikit Gallery and the Khao San Road are all within walking distance of the hotel. The Old Bangkok Inn is a fantastic other-worldly base from which to explore the city and revel in some authentic Thai hospitality.
Note: The steps are very steep even in the Rose Suite. Although these definitely contribute to the charm of the Old Bangkok Inn, the steep steps could pose some difficulties for some.
