Every room at Loy La Long Hotel has air conditioning, and the rooms range from a 14 m² single room to a 55 m² duplex family room. Several rooms overlook the Chao Phraya River, and the family duplex looks over the city. The choice runs from single and double rooms to a suite and a family room for up to five guests.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms. Some rooms add a bathtub, a balcony or terrace, or a fireplace, and the duplex is on a high floor. Many rooms have a flat-screen TV, and several have an in-room safe box for valuables.

Laundry service is offered, so guests can have clothes cleaned and pressed without leaving the hotel. Safety deposit boxes are available in the rooms, and bicycle rental is available too.

Loy La Long Hotel sits on Songwat Road in Samphantawong, the old riverside district that runs into Bangkok's Chinatown. The streets are narrow and lined with shophouses, with small shrines and temples between them, and the hotel itself is set inside the grounds of Patumkongka Rachaworawiharn Temple. Sawatdi Pier, 150 m away, is one of the Chao Phraya ferry stops nearby, so the river is easy to reach on foot.

Talat Noi, a neighbourhood of old lanes, is 350 m away and is easy to explore on foot. Wat Arun, the riverside temple with its tall central spire, is 2.5 km away, and the Khlong San BTS station, 650 m away, is the nearest skytrain stop for reaching the rest of the city. Local life here plays out in the lanes, with food vendors, small shops and the Chinese shrines that line the streets.

A day could begin with the temples along the river, Wat Arun and the Grand Palace, which is 2.6 km from the hotel, and end with dinner at the food stalls along Yaowarat Road, the main street of Chinatown. Between the two, the lanes of Talat Noi and the riverside piers make a walk that does not need a taxi.
