Inn a Day

As a frequently return guest, this homey hotel is my most favourite staycation venue in Bangkok. I got a chance to revisit this hotel right after the owner family resumes their operation after thoughtful renovation. The atmosphere remains warmest as ever. All rooms get equipped with premium mattress&beddings, toiletries and stylish hairdryers, which definitely offset my usual habits of carrying my own Dyson hairdryer and bath towel. Besides, free drinking water provided outweighs many hotels I’ve stayed, and the bedside power plugs are quite user-friendly. I got confused whether I’ve stayed at a high-end resort beyond the hotel’s boutique concept. I ended up spending a whole day at Inn A Day, dining at Mugjee (downstairs restaurant) and chilling after sunset on their chic rooftop bar. No doubt, if anyone adores the view of Bangkok’s hottest iconic Wat Arun like me, you will find no other hotels in Wat Pho area excel Inn A Day’s from various perspectives. I would always prioritise my staycation at Inn A Day and I wish their future guests would feel impressed beyond what I wrote down here😊

This place is located just behind Wat Pho (reclining Buddha) and with views of Wat Arun from the room balcony. Staff was very friendly and helpfull. Breakfast was great and so is the restaurant food (very good). Room design is very cool and very clean. Had a room with balcony and view of Wat Arun There are so many temples and places in walking distance or a short tuk-tuk or taxi ride near by that you will not run out. This one of the few hotels I would consider returning to.

I really love this family run boutique inn. It has so much character and you really feel immersed in old Bangkok. The design is interesting and meaningful. Sure, it looks good for the 'gram, but more importantly it feels authentic. This is my second time staying here and I hope to return for future trips to Bangkok. The family who manages it is so kind. They are quiet and give you as much space as you want, but are also readily available to help out in any way. They give honest insider advice, so you can be sure you're in good hands. The rooms are character filled. The bed and pillows are truly the most comfortable I've had in Thailand. The views over the river are out of this world. While there is construction on the pier in front, there is no noise at all. There is just a green transparent fabric shade over the construction, but if it gets in the way of your photos from your room window / balcony you can go to the top floor of the hotel to take unobstructed photos from the open lounge space. Other reviewers have mentioned the rooms are a bit dark - it's true there isn't much by way of artificial lighting, but the natural light from the windows overlooking the river is usually sufficient. There is a console shelf in the room I stayed in (4pm) that I used as a laptop desk. Many of the hotels in the area have a restaurant or cafe between them and the river, or they have a rooftop restaurant, which means there is a bit of noise. Here the rooms are truly riverfront, and the public restaurant is on the main floor, so the rooms are quite peaceful aside from the boat noises, which I enjoy. The breakfast is also delicious and very filling.

We just spent 3 nights here and it was far beyond expectations. The location is perfect, just a couple minutes walk to wat pho, the grand palace and the pier to go to wat arun. Very well located for tourist activities. Our room 2pm had an incredible view all day and a lovely balcony for sunset. The restaurant in the hotel is very good and clearly very popular. There are also masses of other cafés and restaurants on the street and surrounding areas. Hotel staff were very helpful, worth noting various levels of English. The riverside location is great and not loud at night. However, if you're planning a late lie in you might struggle with the boat noises by 8 or 9am. It didn't cause us any trouble we were there to see the city not sleep anyway.

This boutique hotel is in the perfect location! Walk to Wot Pho and The Grand Palace and take the ferry across to Wat Arun. There are fabulous rooftop bars only an alley away but definitely come back to eat at the hotel as the food is sensational. Our room, 1.00pm had stunning views across to Wat Arun but pack some ear plugs if you are a light sleeper as, though the barges by day and dinner cruises by night make a great visual spectacle, they are a little noisy. The family operating the inn are also so friendly and helpful.
