This is a very cozy hotel situated away from the noise of the city yet still walkable to some great spots like the night markets. The staff here were very friendly and helpful. I especially enjoyed having breakfast in the courtyard every morning.

We loved our stay here. Many walkable restaurants, ease of tuk tuk or taxi and fairly close proximity to major attractions. The little gems of exploring this neighbourhood were the best!

I have been staying at the property since 2008. The hotel is a hidden oasis in the middle of Bangkok, the staff are lovely and the charm is the place has captured my heart forever.

The hotel is hidden in an alley way so it is pretty quiet. There are local street vendors nearby selling delicious food. The hotel is very unique-I only wish we had stayed longer to be able to enjoy the amenities.

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 place is an absolute gem! Truly an authentic oasis. Best breakfast for your buck (made to order eggs, pancakes, noodle soup, salad and more!) and atmosphere make for gorgeous mornings. Kind and helpful staff. Clean, adorable rooms. We had a balcony with an amazing view. Bathrooms are clean and spacious. Excellent amenities in the room and for sale at the gift shop, coin laundry, and comfortable clean lounge area with cuddly cats. It’s close to all the big Old Bangkok landmarks, very easy to get around and they even give you a card for taxis, very helpful for non-Thai speakers. Cannot praise this place enough, we will definitely be back. We wished we’d stayed there sooner, had we known we would have been there for our whole trip!

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.

Wonderful staff, incredible breakfast set up, unique decor and extremely clean rooms - and an awesome cooking class! We love discovering the alleys around this hotel. It’s definitely slow, local life. It’s comfortable and cozy. They even accommodate for vegans at breakfast if you ask kindly. :) It just feels like home! The only thing to offer would be some form of transport - maybe an hourly shuttle to the BTS or something.

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.

This is the anti-resort hotel where the beds are hard, the service is warm and friendly, the breakfasts are amazing vegetarian, and the eclectic decor will keep you looking. Very much a community villa on a soi in downtown Bangkok. Great value for the money.

We had a great stay at Phranakorn-Nornlen - is now at the top of my list as favourite places to stay. Room for 3 was a great size, clean and just generally very nice. AC worked well (it was very hot when we stayed in April. Staff were all incredibly helpful - nothing was too much trouble. Food was also great - to a high standard, well priced and thoroughly enjoyable. Will definitely come back here if we are ever in Bangkok again.

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.
