We booked our stay at Phranakorn Nornlen based on other reviews here.....and everything everyone says is true! It's a great oasis in the midst of Bangkok, tucked away down a back alley....our cab driver had to get out and ask directions from locals how to get us there. But once inside, it's fantastic. Picture an old 1940's dorm style school... more

I arrived in Bangkok after paying well over the odds for a taxi to the hotel, (for your own ecenomic purposes, get a taxi OUTSIDE the airport! :D) and for a while wasn't sure the guy actually knew where he was going! As some other travellers have mentioned in their reviews the entrance to the Nornlen is 'ominous' to a... more

lived up to all the reviews, this quirky hotel is ideal if you want to feel that you are living in Bangkok, not just looking out from another chain hotel. The staff are helpful and happy and I can recomeend their airport shuttle service. more

After reading such rave reviews on TripAdvisor and two attempts at a reservation (they are popular!), we finally secured a twin room for three nights in November.

Given the outstandingly good reviews on Tripadvisor we just had to experience this hotel for ourselves. We were cetainly not disappointed. To begin with the airport transfer service arranged by the hotel is both reasonably priced and extremely efficient. On arrival at the hotel you cannot help but gasp at this beautiful centre of tranquility midst the hustle and bustle... more

Enjoyed our 1 night stay in Bangkok on the way to Vietnam. Happy to recommend this hotel. more

An excellent choice of stay to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday indeed. This is a hotel that will go out of their way to make your day. They had baked a home-made cake for my boyfriend upon my request to surprise him with a cake brought to our room. (although my request was to help me buy one, charged to my... more
