It didn't take me very long to find a hotel for the night in Bangkok, one look at pictures and I was sold! I think the parrot in the bar helped, and the way all the walls be decorated ||We received a friendly welcome on arrival, and our room was very nice. The bed is comfortable and a fabulous big walk-in shower with good pressure and the most gorgeous of "condiments" there to be used,|Also a few shower caps, bamboo toothbrushes, cotton wool and cotton buds. Tea and coffee making facilities, a few bottles of water and a couple of sodas in the fridge ||However, as lovely as the bedroom was with its beautiful dark blue walls gorgeous heavy drapes and a most lovely mirror over the wash basin ... I did feel like a mole negotiating my way round in next to nothing light|A few brighter lights wouldn't spoilt the loveliness of the rooms (I was told that all the rooms had sultry lighting ||We had dinner in the restaurant, the menu was good and varied, but I have to be honest that the service left a little to be desired .. I had to send my curry back because it wasn't hot (as in oven heat not chillie heat! ) and my husband didn't taste or locate a single anchovy in his Cesar Salad.. the dressing, which he was duly informed , was made with anchovies earlier that Day..(🤔)|My Green beef curry when it came back hot, was lovely - no complaints!|The items we chose from the desert menu were yummy.. The Panncotta was apparently very nice - as was my apple crumble ||So yes, we enjoyed our stay, the restaurant service could have been a little better, nobody came to ask if we were enjoying our meal we had to call the waiter over .||Overall cleanliness; 100% Perfect! No grubby fingerprints anywhere, the glass doors sparkling clean you'd be hard pushed to see any glass at all|bathroom and toilets (including the public facilities ) all beautifully clean |No complaints whatsoever!||Thank you to the young lady who helped locate a new suitcase at a large department store in town when the lock on our case (with everything in it! ) decided that it didn't want to open.. The metal clippy things were sawn off by one of the guys behind the bar ......
Read morePerhaps my experience is unique, but my stay at this hotel was so bad, I need to warn potential visitors. The hotel is not cheap, so I think it is reasonable to expect a certain level of service and comfort. I do not think the hotel was full. I was actually the only guest that I saw. Maybe there were other guests. But it certainly did not seem that way. My room was at the top of the stairs, Rm 103. It looked over the street. It was utterly impossible to sleep there. The traffic noise never stopped. And it was not a low drone. It was motorbike racing until 3:30 and trucks and tuktuks and cars. Even with headphones in, the noise was too much. And there is no one at the desk. So, other than leave and go somewhere else, there was nothing I could do. Even when I checked out at 9:15 am, there was no one at the front desk. There are rooms on the other side of a courtyard. I believe those are the ones you see on the website. That part of the hotel was locked off. The rest of the complaints are mild, but annoyi g nonetheless. No housekeeping. The wifi cuts off every 20 minutesand you have to re-login. The room is incredibly dark. Forget being able to put on makeup. These are minor. But those alone are enough to not recommend the hotel. Especially for $70/night. It is a good location. And the decor is quirky. I did not eat at the restaurant or coffee shop. I did note that even though I was there Friday and Saturday night, there was no live music. Just in case that matters to you. I guess if you make sure you get a room off the street, it's ok. But there are thousands of hotels in Bangkok. There is no reason to...
Read moreBaan Tuk Din is such a hidden gem in the old town. For a small boutique hotel, they’ve absolutely nailed it—both in terms of style and substance. The restaurant alone is worth a visit: beautifully executed traditional Thai dishes that taste authentic, balanced, and full of character. Every meal I’ve had here feels like it’s been made with care, the kind of flavors that keep you thinking about them long after you’ve left. The rooms are just as impressive—stylish, cozy, and thoughtfully designed, with that boutique charm that makes you want to linger. And the location is unbeatable. Set right on Dinso Road, you can step outside and find yourself surrounded by little eateries, cafés, and local shops, all within walking distance. It’s the perfect base for anyone who loves exploring the historic heart of Bangkok on foot. What makes it even better is the live jazz from Thursday through Sunday in the hotel’s restaurant. Pair that with a well-mixed drink, and you’ve got the perfect evening—relaxed, intimate, and full of atmosphere. For me, I’ve only dined and toured the rooms so far, but I’m already a fan. Next time, I’m definitely staying the night—dinner, drinks, music, and then just heading upstairs for a cozy night in. If you’re a traveler looking for a clean, stylish, and reasonably priced boutique stay in a great neighborhood, Baan Tuk Din is an easy...
