Hotels Near Wat Chang (Monastery of the Elephant) in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya

Dear Thailand Traveler, While in Thailand, you may decide to make a stopover in Ayutthaya Province, which is one of the historic capital cities of Thailand. If you do, you may think about a stay at The Avail hotel. First, let me tell you that The Avail will not satisfy the needs of those seeking 5 star accommodations. Having said that, if you are seeking a clean, safe, comfortable, and affordable place to enjoy an evening or two while in Ayutthaya - you will be very satisfied checking into The Avail. What I found so satisfying about The Avail is that everything works, and works well. The bathroom is comfortable and the shower is hot, the bed is amazingly comfortable and the comforter is soft and warm, the air conditioner blows cold, and the room is clean. Everything that needs to work...does, and this is something that I cannot always say about even the most expensive places. Moreover, the staff is friendly, the price is right (900 THB/night), and the location is near historic ruins, elephant rides, and some very good restaurants. You cannot write a review and say only good things, so here is the best I can do to say something somewhat critical. There is no coffee or coffee cups in the room, but there is a hot water pot. On the bright side, if you want coffee, there is a complimentary coffee cart in the lobby with both. I am sure if you asked to take coffee to your room, they would be most happy to oblige. One more comment, I did not see a strong box in the room to store valuables. All and all - a very good find. Best/Kevin

I stayed here for five nights on the final leg of my 2022 north-south road trip. Many of the guest houses in this neighborhood are still closed, this hotel was one of the only options I could find in this area. This is a pretty typical Thai/Asian-style city hotel. Behind the hotel, they have another building that is similar to a motel in the US. This is where I stayed. From the outside, it looks good, but the rooms are very basic with few amenities. Again, typical of a budget hotel that would cost 500 THB in another part of the country. At a walk-in rate of 790 THB, I thought the room was overpriced. On a positive note: the air conditioning, hot water, and refrigerator worked well and it was very clean. There is sufficient, on-site parking for those who self-drive.

Friendly staff and the price is worth it! I have been here for 3 times. This place near the city and easy to find a food. There're bike cycle for rent. Good for family or friend trip because there is a room for 3 in 1 and 4 in 1 also.

Well-run homestay with a hostess who knows how to take care of the guests in the best possible way. Select the room with aircon for best comfort. Believe me, you don't want to go for the fan-only room in this lovely establishment. You want to go to full mile and have it all. The breakfast is hearty and prepared with utmost dedication. The location is superb for backpackers waiting for their next train to Chiang Mai, or wherever they are destined to go. The Wifi was surprisingly leopard-like fast in an old Thai style house like this. The shared bathroom is not an issue if you don't have a bad stomach and the parking space are plentiful if you are willing to walk the extra steps. Therefore, I would not hesitate to recommend this place, A slight deduction has been made due to very thin wall, thus you can hear every gossip from your neighbor.

It is a hotel for a day to be over. The room is large and included with breakfast. The hotel's price quality ratio is good and I have no complaint about it. I have a good service

Quite a decent place. Older style hotel. Room fine, good river view too. Bed comfortable. Do not expect to have a refreshing shower unless you are under 150cm as it is fixed to the wall and made for small people. Anyone taller and bending down the only option, very poor really. Pool was quite good but cold as it gets no sun until much later in the afternoon. Refreshing though. Various on-site restaurants. Bar near lobby area, prices way too much I noticed. Breakfast was quite good although the staff were not friendly, seemed disinterested and some often seen larking about maybe as it was not too busy when we went. 5 minutes walking distance to train station where there are Tuk Tuks and a few eating places as well as the usual street food. 7-11 too. Train to or from BKK is worth the experience (but takes a while to go 70km) and 3rd class trip costs 15 THB...wtaf! The boat river crossing is closed at the moment as the river is too high. Getting across the river needs to be by Tuk Tuk or taxi really. Normally at least one Tuk Tuk outside the hotel too. You know the form, must haggle them down. We used Grab a lot and got where we wanted to go. Probably can walk to some of the historic sites but probably not advised and Grab is cheap and has AC so is the way to go. There is Soi Farang and Grand Street for a livelier atmosphere with more bars and restaurants, again a cheap taxi ride away. Overall not a bad place and decent location for a reasonable and not too expensive a price.

Hello, that's Elli and Eyan. We've been looking for the place like this forever! Such a beautiful small apartment we were staying in, with a kitchen and nice shower, with a hot tub and a balcony. House keeping stuff and other services are so nice and caring. Pool and jacuzzi were also superb. We were enjoying each other SOOOOO much in this beautiful hotel, super atmospheric.... People! Also, breakfasts are the best! It's soo nice to go down for the breakfast every morning. Varieties of different foods and beautiful relaxing music... Caring stuff that fills your coffee or tea cup any time you are about to stand up and get it by yourself... Recommended from the bottom of our hearts 💓

Budget hotel, not new, but all in working condition, good shower, toilet, spacious bathroom, hot water is 24 hours a day, excellent water stress, comfortable beds and pillows, clean well-spread bedding. The air conditioner with several modes, worked well. There is a spacious balcony with the view of the Temple. There is a closet, a small refrigerator, an electric teapot, glasses, cups, every day brought 600 ml of clean drinking water per person(bottle), a toilet paper roll and a coffee bag. Staff is benign, there is an elevator, surveillance cameras. Towels are clean too. The room was booked three-bedroom but we were settled in a room more, four-bedroom. So the hotel arranged us.

Arrival on the busy Children Day Weekend, we choose Centara Ayutthaya as it is closest to the Temple that we plan to attend one of their major ceremony in January. Our group choose Centara Ayutthaya as it just newly open less than a month from our arrival date. The hotel located adjunct to the Central Ayutthaya Shopping Complex's largest shopping complex in Ayutthaya. Also across from the Town Hall and Provincial Center, less than a mile from the main National Highway (also across from the Industrial Park and Complex). So, the location for business is excellent. However, the new business area that this hotel located is relatively far from the World Heritage Ancient City of Ayutthaya. So, you need a good transport to travel from the hotel to the old city. Upon arrival, this hotel has excellent reception and bell staffs. We arrived around 12.00 and the room expected to be ready by 15.00. The staff has been very nice to us. Helping us to unload all bags and get them to the storage rooms. We indicated that we booked the room via Centara Website and we want to book the rooftop restaurant for our dinner. The hotel staffs also provided the welcome drink ticket at the rooftop restaurant by dinner time, and also provide THB500 credit to be use at the Kin Restaurant (by the ground floor). The Room: We booked for Deluxe Room and first they allocated 5th Floor for me. I asked them to move me to higher floor and getting Floor 11. This is very nice service mind from the hotel staffs, as I found out later that the hotel is relatively packed on that day. The room consisted of 2 wings the Highway view and the City View. For me, I've got the Highway view. But it is not necessary to be the bad thing. The room came with Full Panoramic Glass Window with built-in Sofa-Bed that I can lie down and see the full view from my room. The room view allowed me to see the shopping complex, town hall and the high way. Also, the high floor allowed me to see the Industrial Park and City across from the other side of the high way. So, it has excellent view. The room decoration is typical Centara style that separated Toilet and Bathroom from one another. Also, the washing sink is located above refrigerator inside the room. So, it has a very strange set up from many hotels. But if you are Centara regular, it is relatively normal for them. We've got King size bed for our room, the bed is good and new and the pillows are fluffy. Nice and cold air conditioning breeze and the lighting in the room is excellent. But there is no mini bar in this hotel. You can get all needed things from the supermarket within the hotel complex (above the carpark). Service and Facilities Excellent services from all staffs. Nice receptions, excellent bell services, polite and nice waitresses at every restaurant. Excellent facilities, infinity swimming pool on 20th Floor, Nice Fitness on 19th Floor, 2 restaurants and 1 coffee shop. Carpark Similar to most Centara Hotels those adjunct to the Central Shop

My wife and I took a short trip to Ayuthaya for one night after hearing about many reviews via social media. The Sala Bang Pa-In was considered one of the best stay experiences, with many aspects of decoration, ambiance, location, and design. However, one of the most admirable aspects was the staff. Every single person performed their work with great hospitality. Upon arrival, I was welcomed by the Front Office Manager with his hospitality. Thank you to The Hotel Manager as well for her upgrade room for our stay. The Food & Beverage Team also performed their work with dedication and heartfelt service. The highlight one was the Chief Engineer, who was on duty as the Manager On Duty and helped us retrieve an earring that had slipped down the sink. He managed it easily and demonstrated excellent problem-solving skills. I am sure to come back to Sala Bang Pa-In if there is any chance to visit Ayuthaya again.
