Description
This guesthouse is comprised of three traditional Thai wooden houses. The main house by the river is over 100 years old and although these rooms are all fan with shared bathroom, the four poster beds, dark wood interiors, stylish period furnishings and upstairs terrace with river views more than make up for it. Antiques dotted around the place further enhance the movie set feel of this step back in time. The tastefully decorated shared bathrooms have clean hot showers. A reception area downstairs has a small souvenir shop, original tiled floor and a restaurant area that stretches out onto modern decking overlooking the river. The other two houses near the road have rooms with ensuite bathrooms, simpler furnishings and are cheaper in price, although rooms can be noisy. Unique accommodation in a good location, with pleasant friendly staff and well priced quality food.

Very noisy - 
By RotPickup ( total comments: 17 
) Stayed here 8/2008
because there is only a thin wooden wall separating you from a busy road.
But the food and the setting on the river is nice. Relax on the terrace but bring earplugs or sleep elsewhere.
I wrote this report already 4 weeks ago but it seems to have vanished...

Bring Earplugs -
By RotPickup ( total comments: 17 )
because there is a very busy street just behind these shaking thin wooden walls.
But the setting on the river is very nice and so is the food.

P.U. Guesthouse
20/1 Moo 4 off Naresuan Soi 1
The large, reasonably new P.U. offers good value and is often full, so book ahead. It is on a sub-soi off of Naresuan Soi 1, which makes for a quiet stay, but the attitude of some staff members can be rather off putting. There is a small garden, common area and a large restaurant inside. The rooms... more

12/34 Naresuan Soi 1, Ayutthaya

While these basic rooms are clean, this expanding business empire is neglecting bare essentials like a comfortable... more
