Phranakorn-Nornlen Hotel

A friend of mine suggested me to stay at this hotel since I did not know a lot of people in Bangkok so I took his advice. it is a good place if you are staying in Bangkok for the business purpose. The rooms are very comfortable. In fact the best part is they give a very Thai look. the decor of the room truly shows the Thai culture. The breakfast was very very good. It is a quite place and specially after business meetings. Everyone needs a place to relax and this hotel is the right choice. It is not bad for couples either. Specially if you are looking for good value of money.

Unique Quality: Ambiance

As we weren't very busy at work my colleague helped me in searching the web for nice hotels in Bangkok. She found this hotel on trip advisor. After a look on their website it was no question that we wanted to stay there!

It is a wonderful quite and peaceful place, everything is amazingly lovely decorated with beautiful drawings on the walls. We had a warm and friendly welcome when checking in and the welcome drink was just delicious.

The included breakfast is served in the calm court yard. Each morning you have a different vegetarian meal. To drink you can choose between coffee, black tea or thai tea. I had thai tea yummy

Directions: a few minutes walk from pier no 15

The Hotel that we stayed in while in Bangkok is called Phranakorn Nornlen and its amazing. So serene. Its mixed into the neighborhood so well that our taxi driver didn't know where it was and then drove right by it. Being outside the touristic zone and living within the community, we were able to see how the Thai people spend their days. This also forced us to eat and experiment with traditional Thai food. Not only was it good but inexpensive. We paid $1.00-$15 for our dinners. The hotel was perfect for us. We are independent budget travellers so a hotel/B&B that has character, clean, hospitable hosts/employees, good location and cheap (less than $100/night) is what we look for when we visit a place. It really was a safe haven for when we came home from touring Bangkok. Bangkok can be a little crazy and noisy but surprisingly, we couldn't hear anything aside from the birds and the hot wind. The decor blended the old with the new and it was a somewhat rustic feel. Our hosts were fantastic, they went well out of their way to make us comfortable as possible. When my mosquito repellent was no match for the mosquitos, they gave me some of their nicely scented mosquito repellent that worked beautifully against the mosquitos. Breakfast consisted of organic vegetarian Thai breakfast.. And tea everynight. We can't wait to go back

Unique Quality: Great attention to detail was made. Every room is hand painted the furnishings are minimal but comfortable.
