Villa Hotel, Bangkok

457 Phrasumen Rd. Bawornniwet Pranakorn, 10200 Bangkok, Thailand. (show on map)

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.

Perfect place, with a garden to escape from hectic Bangkok

I really like the size of this hotel. Very cosy, beautifull garden and pool.
Their breakfast is very tasty and the staff friendly

There is nothing not to like. Price and comfort are in perfect balance.

A perfect oasis in the heart of Bangkok.

Villa Bangkok is an oasis in the heart of Old Town Bangkok. The location is perfect for being able to easily visit so many sights and yet the hotel itself is an oasis of calm. We loved the room with its view of the canal. It was spacious, clean and beautifully furnished. The pool and lounge area was beautiful and being able to swim until 10pm meant that we could always spend time cooling off and relaxing after the hustle and bustle of the city. The food in the restaurant was delicious and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. Cant fault it!

Great place to stay for exploring Old Bangkok and Chinatown on foot

Great location of Old Bangkok exploration is in your plans, beautiful green courtyard with pool, cozy and quiet despite the Songkran bustle that was happening just outside the door. Just half an hour walk from Chinatown and Emerald Bhudda

The room we booked had an issue with AC that required us moving to another room, but it was a minor inconvenience and the staff members were most helpful and fast trying to solve it

Would stay again, lovely hotel, good location to visit various museums. Lovely pool area. Nice staff

I loved the outdoor pool - very lush and relaxing. I loved the style, room was a good size and the bed was enormous. The AC was a bit noisy.

when we arrived the room was very stuffy and extremely hot. It took a while for it to cool down. We had to leave for a few hours and eventually it cooled down. Maybe they can think about switching on the AC before the guests arrive. We arrived late and were very tired but could not remain in the room as it was too hot and stuffy

Well located hotel

Large clean room with a safe and fridge

Even though it had large windows the room was quite dark .Could be more lighting and hooks to hang stuff in the bathroom.
Couldn't use the balcony as there was road works every night of our stay

Great small hotel with pool in a local neighbourhood, and good access to the main sites.

We loved staying at Villa Bangkok for 4 nights. We loved the immediate neighbourhood as it felt we were staying in an area with local Thai people. The pool area and communal spaces were very relaxing areas away from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. The hotel is a good location and we were able to walk to some of the main palaces and temples on the first day, then we took taxis for the remaining days. There are some good restaurants within 5 minutes walk, including a few along the nearby canal. There are local supermarkets to buy day to day items

Everything was great!

Great value to visit Bangkok

Cozy place to chill at the pool during hot days and short distance to major tourist attractions.
Very friendly staff

Thin walls. You basically hear any word from the neighbors.

Excellent Hotel with wonderful pool in the center of Bangkok

Excellent location, food (while relatively expensive compared to local restaurants) was very good, the pool area was great! Really enjoyed the stay

Rooms had very few amenities such as hand soap and could be made more comfortable.

Tranquil haven in good location

Excellent location for Bangkok - good value for money and walking distance to many tourist sites. The courtyard area with swimming pool is a lovely peaceful haven in the middle of the hot busy city. Good breakfast available at extra cost. Helpful staff who assist with booking of taxis and luggage storage.

Rooms at the front can be noisy. Shower has a habit of flooding room. Garden facing rooms are worth the extra cost.

Really lovely small hotel.

We love this hotel. Yes you can find cheaper but we had zero complaints. The pool is salt water, the room was really comfortable and pretty and clean. Blackout curtains to help sleep with jet lag. Location was great, not too noisy but close to things.

Nothing, everything was great. And we are kinda picky.

Great little hotel with lovely pool in a good location.

Lovely little hotel in a great location, not far from the river and other attractions. The pool area is lovely and a great little oasis of calm from the city. The staff were always helpful and friendly and the vibe is chilled and relaxing.

There was some road maintenance outside.
