Lilliput Riverside Bangkachao

I live in Bangkok, but I wanted a "staycation" in the Bangkok area without distractions. So I stayed a week and it was great. I had a desk on a breezy balcony where I could do my reading and writing, and look out on the river and see the boats going up and down. At sunset I would go down to the pier and photograph the action. (I'm sure others would ride the free bikes on tours of the beautiful green island, but I didn't do that.) There is a fine Thai restaurant two steps down the pier. I don't eat breakfast, but the staff brought coffee to my room every morning. They also arranged for a lamp on the balcony so I could read and write at night. My stay was extremely relaxing, which is just what I wanted. All the usual amenities are fine: Aircon is fine, hot water is fine (with pressure), there is a fridge, mattress was fine, there are enough plugs, etc., etc.

The room was not large (which is why I marked down a little on value). It was big enough for one person, but I think two would have difficulty. Also, the desk on the balcony was slightly damaged. Finally, and this is typical of most Thai hotels, not just this one, it would be really nice to have a reading light by the bed with a switch. It's much more relaxing to read in bed without turning on the very bright overhead lights.

The owner was helpful throughout my stay. The room was functional and clean. There is a very cool restaurant right outside.

The sandals were bad; they would tear out easily.

Great breakfast, kind host, enjoyed free bicycle use.

Lack of restaurants in the area.

Lovely room, very good pillow, all needed amenities available, nice bathroom with good working shower. We also got a free upgrade and have a room with balcony. Near the river away from bustling city. Very friendly staff

Peaceful and quiet

Photos did not match hotel apparently 6years out of date! Booked room with river view was part obscured by extension being built directly in front of which the hotels cats use as there toilet would not go back Maybe booking.com should check these photos are up to date more often!!
