Best Budget Accommodation
Great place to stay. Absolutely warm family atmosphere. My 4 bed dormitory room was great, next to the toilets and bathrooms. The facilities were great - 2 lovely lounge. Outside portico lovely for outdoor breakfast. The kitchen has everything needed eg for heating up food (microwave) though it doesn't have a stove. The free breakfast was simple with bread with jam/butter and coffee (Nescafe Gold) and bananas - for me it was great. The people running the hostel were warm, friendly and helpful. I'll come to Ayutthaya just to have a lovely time staying in this wonderful hostel.

I liked the private room and the common space to chill. And bicycle rental was convenient. Sometimes hard to find the owner or staff but overall very pleasant stay.

We stayed here for three nights in a shared room, check in was really easy, good English speaking staff. Well kept building and cleaning couldn’t find a single spot, simple breakfast but does the job, walking distance to everything and a lovely cafe just found the corner which does amazing food “corner house” 100% stay again

Location was a little far from everything. Checking out was a pain because we had to wait a long time for someone to come and give us our bond back. But overall the hostel was really nice and staff very friendly.

The common rooms were exceedingly clean and relaxed. Our room was larger than anticipated and very clean. Check-in was easy and the staff went above and beyond by giving us a map with sites, but also marking where the hostel was in location to everything else. What a great experience!

Beautiful cozy place with hardwood floors and had a very homey feel. Nice lounge and outside patio. Free breakfast was basic, just instant coffee and toast with jam or chocolate spread, but sufficient. Good location near Wat Mahathat and other ruin sites. Friendly owner who cleaned facilities and dorms every day. Only 4 beds per dorm, so relatively quiet.

他の方のレビューにもあった様に、チェックイン時にスタッフは不在。12:00についたが一度諦めた。24時間いるとは言っても、どんなに大声で呼んでも誰も来てくれないのではいないのと同じ。ベルなど用意してちゃんと対応してもらいたいものだ。ちなみにエクスペディアでは11:30からチェックインと書いてあるが、宿の掲示板には14:00からと書いてあったので要注意。16:00に到着して大声で呼んでも、しばらく待たないと出てきてくれなかったけどね。チェックアウトの時間は事前に伝えておけばいる様にはしてくれるみたいです。 予約とは違う、二段ベッドではない部屋に通された。ここはカーテンで全体が覆われていないのでプライバシーは半分ぐらいしかありません。同室が全員女性だったのがせめてもの救い。。 建物や朝食の説明など一切無し。こちらから頼まないと毛布すらない。何度も聞いたら面倒くさそうに真顔で対応される。 トイレとシャワーが一部屋で、シャワーがトイレの手前にある変わった構造になっているので、誰かがシャワーを浴びた直後にトイレに入ると室内びしょ濡れ湿気満載です。屋内用ビーサンなど必携。 朝には、"不満があるならもっと高い宿に泊まれ"とのメッセージが入っており、おはようの挨拶すらされなかった。最悪。 もちろんアユタヤ2泊目には、価格はほとんど変わらないのにレビューが最高の宿へ移動。何故ここを選んでしまったんだろうなぁ。。

ベッドや部屋、バスルームも綺麗でした。 ただ店主に関しては、いい人というレビューもありましたが、商売に抜け目がない人、という印象を受けました。悪い人ではないですが。なのであまり信頼しすぎるのは良くないと思います。 ウォーターサーバーはなく、買うことができますがコンビニで買った方が安いです。 あと、鍵のデポジット200Bを忘れられていました。 ちゃんと払ってもらいましたが、気をつけた方がいいです。 今回はたまたま忘れられただけだと思いますが、しっかりと記録を残しているわけではないようなので。 ネガティブなことを書いてしまいましたが、立地や部屋の綺麗さは良いと思います。 また泊まってもいいと思いました。

สุดยอดห้องพักราคาประหยัด
ผมเดินทางคนเดียวเป็นประจำ จึงมักหาโรงแรมราคาถูก เพราะไม่ได้ใส่ใจเรื่องความหรูหรา สะดวกสบาย แต่ผมไม่เคยพบโรงแรมไหนในประเทศไทยที่มีราคาถูกเท่านี้(ถูกที่สุดห้องพัดลม 150 บาท) ทั้งยัง สะอาด สงบ เป็นมิตร มีขนมปังและกาแฟฟรี และบริการเครื่องดื่มราคาปกติ ที่นี่ทำให้ผมประหลาดใจและประทับใจมาก
