The Monkey Hotel and Residence

Every room measures 28 m². Some have a king bed for two guests, others have two single beds, and one room sleeps up to three guests with a single bed and a king bed.

Rooms can have air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom with a shower and toiletries, an electric kettle and a coffee and tea maker, and one double room has a city view.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms, and the hotel also provides Wi-Fi in its public areas, so guests can stay connected in the common spaces. Free parking is available for guests who travel by car.

Air conditioning is available in the public areas, and the property is smoke-free, with non-smoking rooms. The property is managed by a private host.

Check-in runs from 14:00 to 20:00 and check-out is until 12:00, so arrivals should plan to reach the hotel within the check-in window.

The Monkey Hotel and Residence sits in the Lopburi City Center area, in the old provincial town of Lopburi in central Thailand. Lopburi is known for its Khmer-era ruins, its Buddhist temples and the macaques that roam around the temple grounds, so the town mixes historic sites with everyday street life. Its centre is a small provincial town rather than a large city, so the hotel's surroundings are easy to get around.

The King Narai the Great Monument is 1.9 km from the hotel, and the Kraison Siharat Palace ruins are 3 km away. Lopburi Zoo is 3.7 km from the hotel, and the Lopburi Bus Terminal, 4.1 km away, serves buses to other towns. Ban Pa Wai train station is also nearby for rail travel.

A good way to see the town is to start at the King Narai the Great Monument and then visit the palace ruins, before a relaxed half day at the zoo. Keep bags and food close when you walk near the temples, since the macaques are known to grab anything that looks like food. The monument, the ruins, the zoo and the bus terminal all lie within a few kilometres of the hotel, so a day out can be planned without long journeys.
