I stayed at the Krungsri River Hotel and overall had a very pleasant stay. The setting by the river gives it a calm, open feel, and it’s only a short walk from Ayutthaya Railway Station which makes arrival and departure straightforward. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with good views across the water. Everything was clean and well kept, and the bed was particularly comfortable. The breakfast was excellent with a wide choice, easily enough to set you up for a full day exploring the temples. There’s also a nice shady pool, which is very welcome after a hot afternoon out. In terms of facilities, it represents very good value for money. It isn’t right inside the historic park, but transport is easy and the quieter riverside location is actually rather nice after a day out in the heat. A solid, comfortable choice in Ayutthaya with generous rooms, a good breakfast and a relaxed atmosphere. However, the service let it down. The staff throughout the hotel, from reception to the breakfast team, were uniformly miserable. We stayed two days and did not see a single smile. It is not welcoming when guests are met with blank faces and minimal engagement. A smile costs nothing and makes a considerable difference. The riverside restaurant was also disappointing. We ordered a Chang beer, French fries and fried cashew nuts. The fries were fine but not piping hot. The cashew nuts had clearly just been warmed straight from a packet, yet the waiter insisted they had been fried. That sort of argument does not sit well. I had considered the steak, but at £30 decided we were better eating elsewhere. I am not paying UK prices for food that is not properly prepared.

“Nice clean hotel”

Great clean room with nice view of the island. It looked like the room had been newly renovated. Very fresh. Nice breakfast with good selection, considering it's an Asian breakfast. Due to road construction it was a bit of a hassle to get back and forth over the bridge to visit the island.

“For one night ok”

We were looking for a hotel with a fitness center. Unfortunately, the fitness center doesn't open until 12:00, but checkout has to be at 12:00! How is that supposed to work? Well, we're exploring for a large tour group. Unfortunately, that's not possible in this hotel. The elevator from the restaur… more

We were looking for a hotel with a fitness center. Unfortunately, the fitness center doesn't open until 12:00, but checkout has to be at 12:00! How is that supposed to work? Well, we're exploring for a large tour group. Unfortunately, that's not possible in this hotel. The elevator from the restaurant to the rooms is also turned off at 10:00 in the morning. How are my guests who use a walker supposed to get to their rooms? It's a shame, it would actually be a good hotel, but we don't understand the management's decision to open the fitness center and use the elevator.

“Stay in Ayutthaya”

We stayed here during our round trip in Thailand. Very big hotel, seems to aim at business travellers (there were conferences going on). Spacious reception and rooms. Big breakfast room and lots of choice. Yet we found the overall impression sad, outdated, no cosiness, something from a bygone era. … more
