Loy La Long Hotel

We had a fabulous time in Bangkok and hotel La Loy Long was the perfect oasis to start and end our days in the hustle bustle of Bangkok. The staff were very friendly, kind and so helpful. The breakfasts were wonderful and the variety offered was fabulous - loved the daily miso soup and fresh fruit! We were also pleasantly surprised that they offered a large variety of Thai cuisine for dinner! After long days in the heat and walking the city it was relaxing to recline in their lovely common areas. The location was perfect - 5 min walk to Song Wad road, 10 min in China Town, and 10 min to metro. It was artistically decorated with lovely paintings and objects throughout the home. We enjoyed the black room with the view and balcony onto the river. The river is full of life and it is amazing to see all of the transport throughout the day! Note you may need earplugs at night due to the utilization of the river for transport. It is well worth the visit!

Loy La Long is one of my top lodging experiences during my travels. Its location along the river is so unique, romantic, & relaxing. We kept saying it was a sanctuary to come back to after a long day out in Bangkok. We stayed in the Black room which was great with a private patio on the river. The staff was so lovely and breakfast each morning was always delicious. Location also can’t be beat being close to Song Wat, Talat Noi, & Chinatown. A must stay.

This unique boutique Hotel is a delightful place to stay in Bangkok. We stayed upstairs in the Blue Room with a beautiful view of the river. The upstairs balcony for the guests to enjoy their delicious breakfast while watching the passing boats on the river was very entertaining. The evenings we enjoyed excellent cocktails and tasty dishes from their kitchen while watching the lit up cruise boats go up and down the river. You could hear the lapping waves when the large boats and barges went by. On top of this need experience, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. We loved our 2 night stay and wished it was longer. We also liked the location to explore. Loy La Long hotel is a must for any visitor to really experience Bangkok. (Note that the high tides in October and November may bring water into the entry of the hotel in the mornings, but that did not impact the rest of the hotel on the water and of course not the upstairs rooms at all. It added to our love for the unique place since we truly felt that we were staying on the river.) Thank you!

An outstanding hotel tucked away right by China Town. Don't look anywhere else, book here and you won't regret it.||A beautiful quiet hotel with only a handful of rooms. The staff are amazing and couldn't be more helpful, polite or respectful.||We stayed in the black room, with our own balcony looking over river. We could hear the water at night underneath the floorboards of the room, which I found really soothing. It gave it an extra special and unique feel. The bath tub is massive and if you plan it right can look over the river while in there.||The breakfast is beautiful with fresh fruit, and the fluffiest pancakes I've ever seen! ||It has seating areas where you can just enjoy the view.||The only thing that has not made it a. 11/10 would have been more storage for clothes in the bedroom. We were only here for a couple of days and managed fine.||Would definitely stay again and can't recommend them enough. I will go home raving about it!

Of every hotel or hostel I've ever stayed at, this place is probably the one that stands out the most. It's comfortable, not luxury, but a wonderful experience. The decor is a beautiful traditional Thai style, the view over the river for a coffee or beer is gorgeous and the included breakfast is lovely. I'd love to come back sometime.

I stopped by for drinking cocktail and chilling with river view. There’s a cozy small cafe for visitors, not just only for hotel’s guests. I really enjoyed sitting there. There’s also foods and other drinks available. It’s located in a temple’s area.

I've stayed in dozens of Bangkok hotels over the years. Most have a cookie cutter design and aren't very inspiring. This place, however, is unique. It's not 'by' the river. It is 'on' the river. It is supported on concrete posts above the river. In the rooms, you can hear the water lapping against the river bank under the floor. The hotel was flooded in 2023, and this is a risk if there is very heavy, prolonged rain because of its proximity to the river. This is the only hotel I've stayed at where the wardrobe contains life jackets instead of the customary slippers and bath robes! The old teak building is 100 years old. It has been a hotel since around 2012. There aren't many rooms - six, I think. There are a couple of common areas that look directly out over the river. There is no restaurant as such, just a small kitchen. Breakfast must be ordered the day before. You can have a Western breakfast, Asian breakfast, or healthy fruit and yoghurt. The staff are very pleasant. Staying in the hotel feels a bit like being on a boat without being on a boat. If you want the ultimate in luxury and comfort, don't stay here. If you want something that's quirky and very different, I don't know of anywhere else quite like this.

Loy La Long is a unique and quirky find! We loved every minute of the unusual “boutique hotel” which is set in a hard-to-find location. Well worth the hide-and-seek! It’s on the river, and the boat-life provides hours of entertainment! It’s a short distance to the hustle and bustle of Chinatown. We stayed in the green room - superb and unbeatable! Great food.
