Ayutthaya Guest House

Love the bluesy atmosphere

What we say:

When we last visited the Ayutthaya Guesthouse, the very laidback manager was so engrossed in listening to jazz music that he didn't notice we were standing in front of him for a good two minutes. It's that sort of place -- chilled out, budget, a unique vibe and well-meaning but somewhat indifferent staff. We love the lobby/restaurant with its upright piano, exposed brick walls, random old radios lying around and great jazz and blues music always playing softly. Rooms upstairs and in the building next door are nothing to write home about, and said jazz-loving manager seemed almost apologetic about them, admitting that renovation plans fell behind after the massive loss of income that resulted from the 2011 flood. Still, the rooms are dirt cheap and they do have large windows, hardwood floors, ceiling fans and a sort of rawness that might appeal to budget travellers. They now also have air-con rooms with bizarre open bathrooms separated from the rest of the room by a scrappy brick wall. The guesthouse also runs the popular Street Lamp restaurant next door and rents out bicycles. WiFi is also free throughout.

A good place

I stayed here May 2008 with my girlfriend. Paid 450B for a Double with Private Bath and air-con. Good location. Many places in this area. BJ 1 Guest House, 16/9 Naresuan Road Single 100 and Double 160. Three Beds with air-con 400. Down the street is the Street Lamp Pub. Sato "The Magic Man" frequents this pub at night. He does close up magic. Tell them "Cowboy" sent you. And ask for the Magic Man. Sato also has a car service. He took us to Bang Pa In Summer Palace. Very nice, see how a King lives.

Very good experience

Despite all the negative comments I had heard about this place, I had a good, quiet and clean room and the staff was ok.
