All you need to know

Nestled in the core of historical Bangkok is the Villa Bangkok Hotel, positioned on Phra Sumen Road. This road was historically significant as it traced along the old city’s boundaries, linking Phra Sumen and Maha Kan Forts over two centuries ago.

Of the 14 bastions constructed to shield the city from invasions in the late 1600s, only Phra Sumen and Maha Kan Forts remain erect today.

This urban boutique hotel in Bangkok incorporates two renovated and preserved historic structures, offering 29 suites that blend modern design with traditional Thai aesthetics.

At the property’s rear, a two-level building made of wood and concrete borders the Rop Khrung Canal. Each of these suites boasts high ceilings, wooden flooring, vintage furniture, and canal-facing windows, providing guests a glimpse into the local residents’ customary lifestyle.

The front building spans four levels, housing rooms that are both aesthetically pleasing and practical, each complete with private balconies that offer views of the internal courtyard.

A really nice place to stay in Bangkok.

Lovely place to stay. Our room was large with a balcony over the canal and an entrance that felt quite private. The bathroom and room itself also enjoyed natural light with floor to ceiling windows over a private space, ensuring complete privacy. A large TV and a mini fridge was a bonus . Fans and aircon made the room extremely comfortable. Another bonus was a bath, which was a treat, although not used. The pool was beautiful. The restaurant was all day breakfast. It was great

Caaan't think of any complaints.

Comfortable and stylish

We selected this hotel because of the nice courtyard and pool which were indeed super Nice! Room was comfortable and stylish, great shower. Location is great, within 30 mins you can walk to the big temples. Quiet street. Great coffee and roofed porch so you can wait out any rain

Doors are super noisy so closing them by neighbours can be bothersome at night.

Location was amazing, pool was nice and hotel provided clean towels to use for swimming etc. Staff was very welcoming and kind. The food in the restaurant was okay and price a bit high, but with the coupons doable. Room was clean, comfortable.

Beds were hard, which is common in Thailand. I don’t mind a hard mattress but had some sore spots after.

A great stay

It was pretty nice. - Very comfy. - The staff are amazing. - Very close to seven eleven. - They helped me print some paper I needed, so thanks a lot!

- The hotel is a bit far from the lively areas of the city. Every night when I want to come back to the hotel, it takes me at least 45mins with public transportation. Maybe it’s close to some attractions that can be seen in a day or so. But definitely wasn’t close enough for me. - Taking a shower makes the whole bathroom’s floor wet. - Really late at night, insects would be running around the pool area, but that’s understandable because of the nature and the weather, so not a problem. But still, a great place to stay in.

Oasis to be cherished

We couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Bangkok. The staff were welcoming from the first step towards reception. It was an oasis of calm in a city which can overpower you with noise and smells. The double room with its balcony overlooking the pool allowed you to take in the lush green foliage reaching up from the courtyard and also to look up to the bright blue sky. The air conditioning did its job inside and the bed was wonderfully comfortable. We can highly recommend the breakfast including some great smoothies. And with a 7Eleven on the corner just up the road you’re all set for a great stay. We found some good stalls nearby for shopping and it was simple to reach the sights by walking or tuk tuk.

The only minor blemish was the water in a powerful shower leaked under the door into the rest of the bathroom so the bath mat was thoroughly wet. You can obviously moderate the power of the shower and the amount of water you use but a bracing shower is the perfect way to unwind after a long hot steamy days taking in such a vibrant city.

Close to Khoasan road, beautiful pool and garden

The location is perfect and as described in Manu other reviews, it’s a little sanctuary amongst the Bangkok chaos. The pool is perfection, with plenty of lounges amongst the stunning gardens.

The rooms were clean, but pretty basic. The beds were firm, which I didn’t mind, but my partner prefers a soft bed. There were no face washers provided and only one set of pillows (one each)

Great spot for a night or two when you want to explore old town.

Great location - walk to Khoa San road but quiet and peaceful. Nice room, great staff.

Bed and pillow a bit hard. Lots of infrastructure work around Old Town but still worth it for the proximity to everything.

Pleasant stay with great value.

My stay was very pleasant especially when considering the price. The room was nice and roomy, and the yard and the pool were also pleasant. The staff was friendly and helpful, and I was able to get my room three hours prior to the standard check-in time.

Nothing major to complain about. The room was a bit dark and there weren't any brighter lights available. The shower and the tap felt flimsy, and the shower pressure was a little painful.

Perfect Bangkok stay!

Very friendly and helpful staff - nothing was too much trouble. The pool area is stunning and a lovely respite from the heat. We had a canal view family room and it was excellent - spacious, quiet and comfortable with a great view of the khlong. Location was also perfect for us, with easy access to the Chao Phraya for the ferry, walking distance to Wat Saket and other attractions, and lots of delicious food around. Recommend Democracy Pad Thai nearby for delicious, cheap food. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Beds were a little bit hard but that’s not unusual in Asia

First time in Bangkok

Strategic location, close 10/15 mins by walk to temples and Khaosan Road, in a quiet and authentic neighborhood. Common areas were beautiful, swimming pool big and well maintained. Stuff super friendly and kind.

Pillows in the room were a bit thin, the mattress a bit too hard for my preferences. Room light at floor level not sufficient for working at the laptop or reading without using the electricity.

I would repeat my stay here and recommend :)

I love the stuff, and the location, close to everything but in a quiet and local neighbourhood . The room was very nice too and the pool quiet and pretty. They give you towels and you can make laundry there.

Nothing :)
