Unlike a more standard hotel with soundproof windows, there were occasional motorbike sounds coming in from the streets. Would suggest to earplugs for highly sensitive sleepers.

We had a very local experience thanks to our host, Rina. We did a boat tour to various temples which Rina arranged for us. It was also a new experience living in an impeccably designed shophouse, which Rina herself saw to (very inspiring lady!). Breakfast was wonderful as well.

A beautiful small-scale hotel with only four rooms, designed with great attention to detail. We received a warm welcome, the room was stunning, and the location is excellent — just a short walk to Wat Arun. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise: although we expected a simple continental option, we were served fresh croissants, juice, fruit, yogurt and a delicious coconut dessert, far beyond expectations. We also appreciated being able to leave our luggage after checkout before our late flight.

We loved everything. Would come back to Bangkok just to stay here again! The sense of serenity and happiness it offers cannot be put to words!

Before you even step inside the main building, you take off your shoes a small gesture that instantly slows you down and sets the tone for what’s to come. It all begins with the hostess, calm, interesting, and more than warm. She greets you with a refreshing drink and local treats, but also with genuine curiosity about you. She doesn’t just check you in, she wants to help you create your own perfect Bangkok story, suggesting places, booking tours with a wonderful driver and making sure every detail is right. The all-female staff (from what we saw) carried our luggage to our beautiful room, a space full of details that transport you to old Thailand. The 100+ year-old building has been fully renewed, yet its history lingers in every corner. Waiting for us inside? Peeled snake fruits, ready to enjoy. In the morning, you cross a peaceful garden to reach breakfast by the river, longtail boats gliding past as you eat food that tastes every bit as amazing as the view looks. We were on a hotel-hopping plan and had to leave early, but we seriously considered cancelling the next stop just to stay here one more night. When departure time came, the staff was already outside our room, ready to help with the luggage once again. Every moment here feels thoughtful, personal, and full of quiet charm. Neil Niwas isn’t just a place to stay it’s a place to remember.

We loved everything about Neil Niwas! The owner and staff are amazing, the house is beautiful. It has been renovated in such detail and with so much love and good taste that it leaves one speechless. The food was really good and the host gave us great dining and travel recommendations.

Nothing, it was a fantastic stay in a beautiful hotel.

From check in to check out everything was perfect. The hotel is a beautiful 135 year old traditional Thai house in an oasis of calm within the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. I was greeted by Weena, the owner, with a tour of the property and grounds, and a refreshing cold drink. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated and pristine, as was the bathroom. The air-con and fan worked well, and there are shutters over the windows so it is dark and quiet at night. The bed is comfy and I slept well every night. I would recommend this hotel for anyone like me that is looking for peace and quiet at the end of a hectic day in the city.

This incredible home has been painstakingly restored with passion and love. If you appreciate architecture and the preservation of it you'll be right at home here. It is a haven away from the hustle and bustle and our host could not have been more welcoming, accommodating and helpful. The staff were equally attentive and the food was delicious.

Absolutely nothing

Literally everything. It is the most gorgeous place I’ve ever stayed. It was an oasis in the bustling streets of Bangkok. Just incredible.

Photos don’t do it any justice. Awesome little house. It feels like you’re in a family home but also a museum and a place you feel calm and interested to be in. Tuk tuk ride can take you anywhere quickly so it’s fine being a bit out of the hustle of the city. Felt safe there and the host is full of info and history. I wouldn’t describe this place even as “good for the money”, it’s just plain good. We debated something like this or a fancy hotel and for the attention and quality/cleanliness of the place it was probably one of the better value stays in all of Bangkok. I would only stay here moving forward when traveling

Completely charmed by the property, the lovely staff, incredible attention to detail, the unique location, and most enjoyable breakfasts on the river each morning. So thankful for our time at Neil Niwas. Our host gave us recommendations that truly helped us navigate the area and determine what was worth seeing and what we should skip during our short time in Bangkok. We can’t thank her enough. Each room detail is carefully considered. The in-room snacks and welcome treats were so thoughtful and appreciated as well. Each time we left the property we were happy to see the local neighbors gathered along the street. Highly recommend.

Neil niwas is a calm haven amongst the chaos of Bangkok. The gardens are so beautiful and the breakfast was divine. The staff were incredibly helpful and the Veena gave fantastic recommendations including arranging a private boat trip.

Wow, this must be one of the most calm and relaxing places i ever stayed at. And that in Bangkok! Only 4 rooms in 100+ year house built from teak wood. Freshly prepared and super tasty breakfast (take the thai surprise option if you don't mind spicy breakfasts, you won't regret). The owner and staff are wonderful hosts. 10min to Wat Arun Ferry and less to the MRT Blue Line Itsaraphap station

There is literally nothing to dislike.

A beautifull old townhouse, restaured with loads of respect and good taste.

Location makes it so you have to order taxis/bolts and there isn’t a pool which could help with heat

Lovely renovated place with passionate staff

Wonderful property and fantastic service. The host and her team took really good care of us - breakfast, coffee, laundry, help with recommendations and getting around the city. We loved our room. The attention to detail and history is really special.

This is not about disliking but good to know: the rooms are on the first floor and the (beautiful original teakwood) stairs are quite steep.

This colonial style building has been renovated with great professionalism and taste. It was a wonderful place to stay for a few days. The owner is very caring and helpful. The breakfast served in an open pavilion alongside the canal is just as good and beautiful as the guest experience as a whole.
