Old Capital Bike Inn

We loved staying here. It is fairly close to most attractions in the Old City. While there is subway construction across the street, our room was serene. The AC worked well. The Inn is in an old shopkeepers building, and it is filled with antiques. You will not have a typical sterile hotel room but one furnished with found items from other buildings, antique chests, etc. Beds were good, a tad hard for us, as are most beds in SE Asia. Breakfasts were simply wonderful, varied, and yummy. We loved coming back after a day’s site seeing and having a cold beer in our room as we recovered, showered and cooled down. Also, do not miss the evening bicycle ride with Jason. The monuments are all lit up and shimmering at night. Jason and his staff were wonderful, caring hosts.||They can arrange transport for you and I highly recommend doing so, as it is a looong ways in from the airport. They would also arrange local rides to attractions and let us know the fixed fare, which relieved a lot of stress for us.

We loved the Old Capital Bike Inn. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The breakfasts offered were a choice of western and traditional Thai, and between the two of us, we tried them all! We particularly enjoyed the Rice Soup with Pork Meatballs, the Chinese Doughnuts with Pandan Jam, and both of the “desserts” we tried, of which I cannot, unfortunately remember the names. The fresh fruit tray was also delightful. We took advantage of the free evening bicycle tour, which gave us a preview of many different historic sites and attractions. Many reviews we read between several travel sites mentioned hard beds, but we were pleased with ours. It was conveniently located to all of the attractions, and was a small intimate location that was well appointed. Their concierge service was outstanding, helping us arrange for transportation, a personal guide, and even spa services. This was our first stop on a long tour and they set a very high bar, that I’m afraid the rest of our stops may not be able to achieve.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful old hotel. Several nice touches, friendly and helpful staff, delicious breakfast and a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. Coming home after a day of city touring and walking into the cool and cozy lobby was like walking into a living room filled with family. We often sat there with a glass of wine or a beer to decompress for the day. I might add that we stayed during the heavy construction and were not at all impacted. There was no noise inside the hotel. We highly recommend this quaint and cozy hotel, and be sure to speak to the staff about your plans as they have many great ideas and suggestions.

Old Capital Bike Inn was amazing. Everyone was extremely helpful by suggesting restaurants, getting us reservations for massages, and even, keeping some bags for us until the end of our trip so we didn’t have to take them with us. The food was fabulous and the Inn is adorable. They made sure the construction outside did not bother us; which it didn’t. We took the night bike tour with Jason and had the best time! We loved it so much we stayed here twice! And would definitely stay again. Absolutely one of the best places we’ve ever stayed.

This is my third stay in a year. The construction of an underground station outside the hotel can seem daunting. I brought a friend who has never been to Bangkok or to OCBI. She said she was surprised the construction noise wasn’t as noticeable as she had expected once she was inside. It can seem chaotic outside but once you are inside this lovely, beautifully curated hotel, it is bliss.||||The staff are always very welcoming and super helpful with information. They often offer to help with Grab (Asian Uber) bookings or to assist in any way with directions and information.||||They will also book a taxi to the airport if you need it. My flight back to the US requires a 4am departure and I always need a large taxi to accommodate luggage. The taxi ordered is usually at the hotel before 4am and is exactly what I need. If you have an early departure, plan to have small notes available to pay the cab driver as you will be his first ride and he may not have change handy.||||Breakfast is always delicious. My friend had the waffle with egg and bacon, and liked it. I like the chicken skewers with waffle, and the open egg sandwich. They also do some delicious noodles for breakfast.||||I have stayed in the ground floor queen garden suite, both of the upstairs loft suites and also the twin room. If you don’t want to climb stairs, ask for a ground level room. The queen garden suite is quite spacious and has a queen bed and a single. The upstairs loft rooms have a queen bed on the upper level and a single on the lower. I’ve found this configuration to work well when I’m traveling with a friend or family member. After several days together, the loft affords us some privacy and space. The front facing rooms have insulated windows which dampen the outside noise.||||The twin room which we moved into for the last night due to the loft been booked prior, was surprisingly spacious despite twin beds and our luggage. Because it’s at the back of the building, it’s also quieter. ||||This is the only place I want to stay at when I’m in Bangkok. The location is excellent for sightseeing as the grand temple, Wat Po and Wat Arun are walking distance (30-40 minutes at a leisurely pace). If you take the canal boat, you will be at Jim Thompson and Platinum Mall in minutes minus the traffic. Yaorat (Chinatown) and Icon Siam are also easy to get to via Grab bike or car.||||But it’s the people who make Old Capitol Bike Inn a delight to return to. Looking forward to my next stay!

Great value for the money. Good location near the most important sights. Nice, almost like a home, amazing staff, fully helpful with everything we wanted. Excellent breakfast, large selection, fresh food. Provision of a taxi to the airport, the opportunity to have a coffee and relax before the flight. The subway is currently being built in the street, but we were warned about this fact in advance by the staff and we actually didn't notice any big noise. We were in the city during the day and it was quiet in the evening.

Such a beautiful place to stay with the kindest hosts! Location was also great- can walk to many things. The room was very clean with a beautiful bathtub and comfortable bed. Breakfast was also very yummy! Would definitely stay again in the future.
