Rest Inn Yaowarat

Rest Inn Yaowarat offers studios, double rooms and deluxe rooms, some measuring 20 m² and others 24 m². Several rooms have a private bathroom with a shower, toiletries and towels, and the rooms sleep two or three guests, so the choice suits both couples and small groups.

Some rooms have a private entrance, a refrigerator or a street view, and the beds are double or queen depending on the room. Air conditioning is available in several rooms, and linens and toiletries are provided in some of them. The Chinatown setting puts the Yaowarat streets just outside the front door, so the rooms are a quiet base after a day of walking through the market lanes.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms, and Wi-Fi is also offered in the public areas, where the inn provides internet services. Air conditioning covers the public areas as well as some of the rooms, and daily housekeeping is part of the stay. English and Thai are among the languages spoken at the property, and the common spaces have Wi-Fi and air conditioning.

Some rooms have a desk, a clothes rack, a refrigerator, an electric kettle and free bottled water, while toiletries and towels are provided in the bathrooms. The rooms are reached by stairs, and some rooms have a socket near the bed and a private entrance of their own.

Rest Inn Yaowarat sits on Trok Khao San in Yaowarat, Bangkok's Chinatown, an old commercial quarter of narrow shophouse streets, Chinese temples and food stalls that come alive in the evening. The area changes through the day: the markets and street food stalls are busiest after dark, while the older temples are calmer in the morning. Visitors who want to be in the older part of the city, rather than in the new business districts, will find the walk between markets, shrines and the riverside short and easy.

Yaowarat Road is 100 m away, and Wat Mangkon MRT station is 350 m from the inn, with Hua Lamphong railway station 750 m away, so the city's train network is within a short walk. Wat Chaiyaphummikaram, a small pagoda in the Chinatown streets, and the Old Market are close by, and Sawatdi Pier, a ferry pier on the Chao Phraya river, is a short walk away. From here, the Grand Palace and Wat Arun are about 2.3 km away, and the Chatuchak Weekend Market is 7.9 km away.

A good day here starts with a walk along Yaowarat Road to the food stalls, then a visit to Wat Traimit, which houses a large gold Buddha, and a ride on the river from Sawatdi Pier. In the afternoon, the Grand Palace and Wat Arun make a good sightseeing route through the old city, and the Chinatown streets become lively again once the evening begins.
