Such a great stay! Exceptional staff who will give you advice on things to do, and go above and beyond for everything. Easy to see why they get so many return guests.

This is the most unique and amazing property I’ve ever been to. Every staff member treats you like family, which as a solo female traveller, is so refreshing. The garden suite is a true oasis in the middle of a bustling city and the ambiance cause’s immediate relaxation. I will come back to Bangkok specifically for this hotel again. I miss it already.

What a lovely place to stay in Bangkok. Everyone here was so kind and helpful. The location was great to be able to walk everywhere, the room was so cute and charming, and as mentioned earlier everyone who works here was WONDERFUL. They were there to help us with anything and everything. When you are in another country and trying to navigate all the things, this was so helpful. If I am in Bangkok again, this is the ONLY place I would stay. The BEST!

This is such a beautiful and unique hotel. I could only get one night in due to my travel schedule and room availability - and I’m extremely glad I was able to get it! Staff were so sweet and helpful, the complementary evening bicycle tour was so enjoyable and informative, and breakfast was delicious. There were so many thoughtful touches- too many to list. There is construction outside at the moment, but it absolutely had no impact on my experience other than slight worry about making the correct turn (I walked from Wat Pho) but I had no issues and found it easily. As expected, everything about this stay is a highlight of my trip to Bangkok. I will absolutely try for a longer booking for my next visit, and recommend to anyone.

This is a wonderful hotel in a good location. It’s small, which means you get a lot of personal help from the staff. You can walk to the river ferry in about 20 minutes, a canal ferry to Jim Thompson house in about 8 minutes, and several temples, museums, and the Grand Palace in about 20 minutes. It’s clean, and because it’s located in an old Thai house, it’s quiet. The neighbourhood is very walkable, including some nice restaurants by one of the canals very near the hotel. There is construction going on nearby, but it didn’t bother me in the least. A gem of a hotel and highly recommended.

A Charming Stay in Bangkok
We had a lovely stay in this quaint in. It was a charming retreat from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, and the highlight of the stay was the exceptional and friendly staff. They went above and beyond to make sure we were happy, and were always available at a moments notice if needed. They were very transparent about the construction going on in the area, and worked with us in case the noise was too much, but we ended up not hearing it hardly at all!

As others have said the B&B is absolutely charming, in a great location, has a generous and delicious breakfast but it's staff who make this truly a stand-out place to stay. Everyone is super friendly and helpful right from the time you book to departure. We highly recommend staying here if you are in Bangkok.

We stay in many boutique hotels and this is the best experience in many years. Fabulous help with things to do in Bangkok. Perfect location near all the major sites of the old quarter. Unbelievably cute rooms thoughtfully appointed with many small items missing in many. The bed was amazing. Fantastic breakfast. Just a great small hotel with so much charm.

Hidden gem
This is a hidden gem in a crazy city like Bangkok! From the moment we got there, B was so welcoming and informative. She gave us info about everything we needed and gave us a map to help us navigate the city! The location could not be better! We walked everywhere! There is construction happening on the main road (what major city doesn't have construction), but it doesn't really factor into your stay here! Our room - 2 bdr family room- was soooo cool!! Super historic and beautiful. We had an outdoor tub that was luxurious considering we were in the middle of one of the oldest cities in the world! Is it your typical hotel...NO and thankfully it has retained the magic of its family history. Jason has kept a great place going in a city that keeps getting modernized! The breakfast is soooo delicious! Get the waffle and chicken! There is also a reciprocal deal with a fellow hotel and you can use the spa at the Bangkok hotel for less then $5!

Lovely boutique property. We stayed in the honeymoon suite which was very comfortable and cute layout. Note there are a few steps up to the room and down to the bathroom/shower which was fine for us but might not be for everyone. Outside garden area with bath is a nice touch. Staff very helpful and welcoming. Easy access to good choice of bars and restaurants and short walk to canal boats to take you to the main shopping areas etc.

We can’t say enough good things about this place. Our room was very comfortable with lots of room to spread out. The breakfast was fantastic with lots of options and a chance to try food you might now ordinarily try but also lots of “safe” options. Everyone working there was pleasant, knowledgeable and eager to make your trip a success. A special shout out to Jason who not only made sure we were all comfortable on the bike tour he leads but who seamlessly runs a top notch inn.

Old Bangkok
Well located in Old Bangkok. Caution: Bangkok is extending the MRT into this area so there are extensive roadworks a f building works in the area!! Staff here are fabulous, helpful and the breakfast is excellent. Nicely finished in and old Bangkok style. We took the top floor room, back of house (away from noisy building work) and this was perfect for us. Location is away from main train/ MRT lines so you will need a cab or a +30 minute walk to get there.

My wife and I stayed here for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This hotel had wonderful character, a comfortable bed and very welcoming hosts who were fantastic with providing helpful recommendations. The particular room we stayed in had very steep stairs--it was not a problem for us, however for anyone with mobility issues it is something to note. We would happily stay here again, thank you for a wonderful stay!

We loved our stay here. The room was beautiful and full of character. The breakfast was delicious and included many vegetarian options. The staff was SO attentive; they booked us massages, taxis, and even made us instant noodles. The bike tour was amazing, and the location near temples and incredible street food can’t be beat. Would highly recommend this place, especially to bike enthusiasts. We are already scheming to come back here. My only note for other travelers is that this may not be the best choice for larger folks or those with mobility issues as the doorways are narrow and there are steps.

What a wonderful little hotel in a fantastic part of Bangkok. We usually stay in the center of Bangkok in typical high-rise hotels and were looking for something different for a night. We loved the vibe in the hotel, the lobby/dining area is delightful and the staff are SO kind and helpful. We asked for lunch recommendations and were given a lot of different suggestions that were within walking distance. The room was brilliant - the bed was very comfy and the shower was very good. The breakfast in the hotel was also delicious. We're definitely staying again when we go back to Thailand next year and have recommended it to some friends who are planing a trip later this year.

This was truly one of the best stays I've had at a small boutique hotel in a long life of travelling. Jason is an amazing host; the hotel is small, but well laid out, tastefully decorated and the rooms are thoughtfully appointed and comfortable. The best thing about it is the staff, though, extremely helpful and pleasant. It will definitely be my first choice when I return to Bangkok!

We're so glad we chose Old Capital Bike Inn for our 3-day visit to Bangkok. The hotel itself was beautiful, clean, and comfortable, but the staff is really what made our stay memorable. The front desk team helped set up our hotel taxis each way, provided outstanding breakfast service, and helped make our check out process a smooth one. We will definitely stay here again if we're ever back in Bangkok and would highly recommend to others!

We stayed in this quirky hotel for one night and there are so many positives, in particular the warmth of the welcome and lots of thoughtful touches everywhere including a welcome drink/snack, handwritten note and gift in the room and lots of added extras. The lovely staff can’t do enough for you from serving the fantastic breakfast (lots of variety to choose from) to ordering taxis/negotiating with TukTuk drivers and advising where to eat - there are loads of restaurants/street food stalls just 10 minutes walk away. The bed was huge and extremely comfortable with high quality bedding. Our only problem was that the honeymoon suite is accessed via a very precarious ladder-type staircase with a wobbly handrail and the en-suite is down another very steep stairway, which wasn’t completely clear when booking. The bed is also on a raised platform so a wee bit tricky for us oldies who need to get up several times a night for the loo! But I am sure there are accessible rooms available and younger people would love our room - perhaps just make the steepness of the stairs a bit clearer on the booking platforms? We were also unfortunate to have a very noisy family in the room below who kept us awake from 4.30am shouting and banging doors but obviously that was not the fault of the owner. Overall we would definitely recommend but would message the owner in future to make sure we get a quiet/accessible room.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at this hotel for a number of reasons - charming hotel and room, great location, wonderful staff, especially Jason, the owner, who gave us fantastic recommendations and advice on interesting places to visit as well as invaluable local insights on geting around Bangkok. One example was to use the river taxis to get around downtown via the canal system. It was really fun and inexpensive, and is what the locals do to get around. The hotel is well situated between old Bangkok and modern downtown and was very convenient. Breakfast at the hotel was really good since it was made to order, and accomdated vegetarian/vegan diets. There were both western as well as local thai dishes available. We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the hotel and will definitely return if we were to visit Bangkok again.

Additionally, the staff were warm, kind and super helpful!! It is walking distance to many sites in Bangkok. The breakfast was also unique.

The folks at OCBI went the extra mile (or 10) to make your experience memorable and as perfect as possible. They left cute notes and trinkets as gifts. Provided excellent advice to enhance our holiday experience. Breakfast was absolutely incredible and homemade. Espresso machine is clutch. Most importantly, they asked if we wanted to go sandwiches for the road for our 6 am flight.
