Location & what to see
The property is on Soi Kalantan in Sumphantawong, in the Yaowarat district of Bangkok's Chinatown. It is a neighbourhood of narrow lanes, old shophouses, Chinese shrines and food stalls, and it feels very different from the high-rise districts of Sukhumvit or Silom. Many of the shophouses on the lanes are old and narrow, a sign of the district's long history as a trading quarter, and walking is the easiest way to explore them.
Wat Traimit, which houses a famous golden Buddha statue, is 100 m away, and the Yaowarat Chinatown Heritage Center is 150 m from the property. Hua Lamphong Railway Station, Bangkok's main long-distance station, is 400 m away, and a ferry pier on the Chao Phraya river is 250 m away. The Grand Palace and Wat Arun are both 2.7 km away, and they are reached more easily by taxi or by river boat than on foot.
A good day could begin at Wat Traimit, continue along Yaowarat Road to the Heritage Center for the history of the Chinese community, and end with a river boat to Wat Arun. Yaowarat Road is known for its food stalls in the evening, and the property is close to the road, so the walk back is short. For a quieter moment, the Wat Traimit grounds offer a calmer side of the area.
What guests say
Travellers rate the location (9.0) highest, followed by the cleanliness (8.8), while the service and value for money score 8.7.
