Inn a Day

As a frequently return guest, this homey hotel is my most favourite staycation venue in Bangkok. I got a chance to revisit this hotel right after the owner family resumes their operation after thoughtful renovation. The atmosphere remains warmest as ever. All rooms get equipped with premium mattress&beddings, toiletries and stylish hairdryers, which definitely offset my usual habits of carrying my own Dyson hairdryer and bath towel. Besides, free drinking water provided outweighs many hotels I’ve stayed, and the bedside power plugs are quite user-friendly. I got confused whether I’ve stayed at a high-end resort beyond the hotel’s boutique concept. I ended up spending a whole day at Inn A Day, dining at Mugjee (downstairs restaurant) and chilling after sunset on their chic rooftop bar. No doubt, if anyone adores the view of Bangkok’s hottest iconic Wat Arun like me, you will find no other hotels in Wat Pho area excel Inn A Day’s from various perspectives. I would always prioritise my staycation at Inn A Day and I wish their future guests would feel impressed beyond what I wrote down here😊

I really love this family run boutique inn. It has so much character and you really feel immersed in old Bangkok. The design is interesting and meaningful. Sure, it looks good for the 'gram, but more importantly it feels authentic. This is my second time staying here and I hope to return for future trips to Bangkok. The family who manages it is so kind. They are quiet and give you as much space as you want, but are also readily available to help out in any way. They give honest insider advice, so you can be sure you're in good hands. The rooms are character filled. The bed and pillows are truly the most comfortable I've had in Thailand. The views over the river are out of this world. While there is construction on the pier in front, there is no noise at all. There is just a green transparent fabric shade over the construction, but if it gets in the way of your photos from your room window / balcony you can go to the top floor of the hotel to take unobstructed photos from the open lounge space. Other reviewers have mentioned the rooms are a bit dark - it's true there isn't much by way of artificial lighting, but the natural light from the windows overlooking the river is usually sufficient. There is a console shelf in the room I stayed in (4pm) that I used as a laptop desk. Many of the hotels in the area have a restaurant or cafe between them and the river, or they have a rooftop restaurant, which means there is a bit of noise. Here the rooms are truly riverfront, and the public restaurant is on the main floor, so the rooms are quite peaceful aside from the boat noises, which I enjoy. The breakfast is also delicious and very filling.

We stayed here as a family of 5. Modern hotel but with a lovely vintage feel. Perfect location, tucked away down a little side street on the river bank within an easy walk to all the major temples. Both of our rooms had an amazing view over the river and Wat Arun and one of the rooms had a beautiful free standing wooden bath looking out at the Bangkok skyline. Just devine. Breakfast was very good and the owners were friendly. The area felt quite colonial, more cosy and authentic than a lot of Bangkok, some nice juice bars and roof top cocktail bars nearby. It gets very quiet after about 9.30pm but only a tuktuk ride away from kohsarn rd in one direction and china town in the other. Also close to the subway, approx 6min walk.

This boutique hotel is in the perfect location! Walk to Wot Pho and The Grand Palace and take the ferry across to Wat Arun. There are fabulous rooftop bars only an alley away but definitely come back to eat at the hotel as the food is sensational. Our room, 1.00pm had stunning views across to Wat Arun but pack some ear plugs if you are a light sleeper as, though the barges by day and dinner cruises by night make a great visual spectacle, they are a little noisy. The family operating the inn are also so friendly and helpful.

We had a fantastic short stay at Inn a day. The hotel is situated right on the river, overlooking temples, which was absolutely beautiful. Do try the food, too as it’s great. The staff are very helpful and friendly. As it’s on the river, do be prepared for a lot of activity and noise, but it does quieten down later at night, apart from the tug boats passing through the night. We will definitely come again.
