The rooms at Phranakorn-Nornlen measure 18 m² or 36 m² and sleep between one and six guests. Bed set-ups run from a single bed to a combination of single, double and king beds, and air conditioning, a private bathroom and a shower are found in several of the rooms.

One room has a lake view and a bathtub. The 36 m² rooms sleep up to four or six guests, while the 18 m² rooms take one to three, so the choice depends on how many people are travelling.

Breakfast is offered à la carte or as a continental breakfast, with a breakfast service. Internet access is also available in the public areas, so guests can stay online outside their rooms as well.

The property is smoke-free and has non-smoking rooms. Rooms can have a desk, a window that opens and a wake-up service, and baby cots are available on request. Free bottled water is also part of the room facilities.

Bangkhunprom is a riverside neighbourhood in the Phranakorn district, at the edge of Bangkok's old city, where temples, palaces and river ferries sit close together. Phranakorn-Nornlen stands on Thewet Soi 1, off Krungkasem Road, and Ladawan Palace, a historic palace building, is also nearby. Visitors who want temples, palaces and river boats close at hand will find the old city easy to reach from here.

Thewet Pier, 100 m away, is a riverboat stop on the Chao Phraya. Khaosan Road is 1.2 km away, a lively street of guesthouses and street-food stalls. The Grand Palace is 2.4 km away, and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha stands inside the same complex. Wat Noranat Suntharikaram, a pagoda in the neighbourhood, lies within walking distance. Across the river, Wat Arun is a riverside temple with a tall central prang, reached by boat.

A day could begin at the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, continue by boat across the river to Wat Arun, and end on Khaosan Road. For a different outing, Chatuchak Weekend Market is 6 km away and is one of Bangkok's largest markets. The Chao Phraya links many of these sights, so a river boat is a convenient way to travel between them.
