    My family (including 2 teenagers) loved everything about the property! It has been lovingly and creatively restored by wonderfully friendly and helpful owners; the bedrooms are spotlessly clean, cool and so comfortable; and it is in an amazing location - easily walkable to the vibrant, fashionable riverside communities of Song Wat and Talat Noi, as well as world renowned Chinatown. It’s such a treat in Bangkok to be able to wander interesting neighbourhoods without need of taxis or Tuk tuks (though these are of course easily available). The coffee, homemade sourdough bread and other delicious food & drinks offered in the cafe downstairs are also impecable. We ate there far more often than originally planned (even though we were given some good local recommendations by owner Nalina). We even came home with some gorgeous ceramics bought at the gallery space. We really can’t rate Mana Craft highly enough and would love to return.

    If you are a light sleeper, request one of the back bedrooms to avoid traffic noise.

    Stayed 4 nights. Interesting renovated building. Small roof top terrace. Good location Around 800m to start of China Town or 800m to MRT at old Railway Station Room nicely renovated with reclaimed materials. Great shower Bathroom. Room spacious with small seating area. Apple wardrobe space.

    Disappointed that Cafe down stairs was closed 3 days out of the 4 due to Songkran. One of main reasons we chose Mana Craft Stay was the cafe. We had one breakfast which was wonderful with many elements made/baked in Cafe, but this was all we managed which was disappointing Room was quite noisy due to TukTuks until around 01:00 that have bad relationship with exhausts. Windows fit where they touch so zero noise insulation. 2nd night and subsequent nights were better than first for me as you kind of acoustically acclimatise but wife struggled with noise combined with Jetlag.

    I really enjoyed my stay at Mana Craft Stay. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I received an upgrade because the room I originally booked was above a busy street, and I requested a quieter one (I got the one with two bed). The new room was great—I really liked the decor, it was very clean, and I slept very well. The host also gave me many useful tips for dining, Thai massages, and more. Mana Craft Café is also lovely, and their coffee and scones are delicious. The location is excellent, close to the metro and in a very local neighborhood. I will definitely come back :)

    Fabulous place to spend a few days in the city. Shabby chic interior and very classy. Gorgeous coffee shop. Great speciality coffee and cakes/breads and additional retail space which you wander through on your way up to the rooms Nana was lovely and the family and staff were very nice The room was large, comfortable, great shower and bathroom and is styled beautifully in keeping with the whole building Well located and easy to get to all parts of Chinatown and the bars as well as close to MRT to travel across the city We really enjoyed living there for a few days and hope we get chance to do it all again sometime soon x

    Stairs slightly tricky with suitcases but that’s only 2 trips in your stay

    The whole place is well curated and the host is very lovely. Good coffee and western breakfast. There is also an art gallery upstairs.

    Make sure you get the right room asigned. The one on the terrace as no floor above it and the bangkok sun is shining right on the concrete roof. We could not cool down our room to a comfortable temperature, even with AC running on max. During the night the heat absorbed by the concrete will keep you sweating.

    Very authentic place. Just three accurately decorated rooms on top of excellent cafe (try them out, the food is great), ceramic studio and small art gallery. Loved the sound of my wooden floors. Run by family who are excellent hosts! Very helpful and kind.

    Can be noisy due to street. I m very noise sensitive. But it won’t influence my rating as I still inspired by my stay and definitely want to return!

    The rooms were so airy with plenty of space to spread out. The staff helped us with check in after 1am as this was our first hotel in Thailand after the flight from the US. The cafe and restaurant were a delight. The coffee was excellent—a welcome surprise for a couple of coffee snobs, and the food was delicious as well. Finally, it was great to be steps away from Chinatown and the amazing Song Wat Road neighborhood.

    I have never seen such a nice small, cozy, fantastically decorated hotel in Bangkok as Mana Craft. Everything is thought out with love and attention. Mana and her family are super sweet and hospitable owners. The room was beautiful, beautifully and tastefully decorated. The coffee downstairs was the best in all of Bangkok. The neighborhood, there is no better place, within walking distance of Chinatown. A nice quiet neighborhood. If I come to Bangkok again, I will definitely not skip this beautiful place. They have a nice little menu with sourdough bread. I would have loved to take all the art on the wall home with me. Mana is a top hostess and as a family they have a hidden gem there, no other place in Bangkok can match that. They make you feel very welcome and you feel completely at home in Mana Craft. I love Mana Craft! Wow!

    Excellent location fabulously done guest rooms. Obviously the owners did a lot of work and results are rewarding. The coffee shop below is also fantastic. They were very accommodating.

    Aah...The 2 small single beds which cannot be even put together if u wanted to ! I had requested a king bed/ double bed while booking and this took the mana off considerably :( Hope this is taken positively.. Another thing was the lack of black out curtains. Nothing much that u can do about the noises of the city.
