Rustic river home”

We have extended our stay here to six days because we love it. This place is run by a seventy year old woman with help from others. She has lived here her whole life. The large house was built by her grandfather 100 years ago to house his three wives and twenty children. Everything is wood and tile, well worn, and clean. Every afternoon the seventy year old lady can be found scrubbing the bathroom floors. I’m not sure why it takes so much scrubbing, it wasn’t very dirty, but it sparkles afterward. Noise travels through the building easily so it can be a little noisy. It’s not a bad noise though. Just the noice of people chatting or walking to the bathroom, or a small boat with no muffler. There is no street noise. The scenes are idyllic. The great barges go past with a tug boat chugging big engine throbs at each end. A river cruise goes past each evening with a hundred are so having a pleasant meal. You have easy access to many places. The Ayutthaya train station is 100 meters away. Next door you can catch the ferry across the river (10 baht). From the opposite pier its a short walk to the market and the bus station. A few steps down the street are multiple motorcycle (200 baht) and bicycle (50 baht) renting options. We’ve looked at some other options and spent one night in the center of Ayutthaya. Not again. We think this is the best location for beauty, quietness, and location.

Great price for a single room with a TV”

I love to check out the local TV when I travel, and I had a pretty good time watching music shows and videos from Thailand and Laos. I wish I could have figured out how to get some of the music from Laos. The food in the restaurant was decent as others have mentioned. My best recommendation are the fruit smoothies. I had a pineapple one and the next day passionfruit. Most people get mango, I guess, but I haven't seen a whole lot of fresh pineapple smoothies. Location was extremely close to the station, which is good if you want to grab your bag and get to the train, but possibly not as exciting as some places on the other side of the river which I could hear music coming from while I was eating dinner. The ferry had already stopped for the night so I wondered if I was missing a party. Not a lot nearby on this side of the river, but there's a grocery store and a convenience store too for what that's worth. The ferry is right next door. Take it in the morning, then rent a bike.

Awesome place super friendly staff”

We stayed here for three nights. The owner and her sister were so friendly and helpful. They helped us book a boat tour and told about things to visit and how to get there. The room was lovely and clean very close to the train station. On the day of check out we were allowed to leave our bags there and were also able to a shower before the train. Super friendly super helpful would definitely recommend this place to anyone Harding to Ayutthaya

Everything was perfect!! Thank you!”

We stayed here for 2 night, everything was great!!! The toilet, shower were clean!! The room are spacious, cozy and clean!! The staff really friendly!! Mee, the dog is so friendly and kind too!! And the location was excellent, next to the train station and not far for the ruins. Thank you for everything!!

最高!”

It was good place to stay and good area as its nearby train station and boat station. But they didnt opened 24 hours and I was not know then I came back at late night but good! they come to open the door for us. It was a good service btw. Ps. We arrived at the place early but then they tried to clean out fast and lets us check in.

Nice little hotel that offers an authentic taste of Thailand ”

As a budget traveler, I opted for this hotel without much expectation. Little did I know that I was in for a surprise. The room was small but it was like traveling back in time. It was like a treehouse with a comfy bed. The decor of the common areas was tasteful and relaxing. The hotel's restaurant oversees the river and food is good with a lot of vegetarian options. I staff were very helpful and sweet. They even arranged for a tuk-tuk at 5.30 in the morning for temple-hopping at sunrise. I would definitely recommend this hotel and by the way, it is located in an alley right in front of the train station.

Amazing homestay”

We left Baan Are Gong only a few days ago and are already trying to squeeze in one more night there what says enough about our opinion of the homestay. The family is incredibly kind and made us feel right at home. They gave us great tipps and even went to the local market for us as it takes place at 6am. The food in the Restaurant is freshly made and delicous. Not only the people but also the hostel cat and dog snatched a piece of our hearts as they are very cuddly. We would definitly recommend it!

Lovely place by the river, but very thin walls”

We loved this place, it’s beautifully decorated and the restaurant by the river is charming with good food for all meals. The staff was friendly and helpful. We stayed in a fan room upstairs, and here the walls were so paper thin, that you could hear the person in the next room turning in the bed. Apart from that everything was great.

Close to train station”

Stayed one night for traveling Ayutthaya. The place is very close to train station. You can rent bicycles or scooters nearby. The room was a bit small but was enough for 1-2 people. They also has restuarant inside, and the foods were great with cheap prices. Just be aware of mosquitoes in the evening since the place is close to the river.

Good ”

The room was quiete, clean with hot water. The service was good. You have also a restaurant with a good view on the river but don't open your curtains if you won't see poverty.

最高!”

Really beautiful house! The ladies were very nice and helpful! If you get a tuk tuk around the temples order through them. Me the dog is totally awesome as well! He followed us in to town for two hours and protected us from other dogs! 😁

Beautiful interiors! ”

Beautiful house with wooden interiors. One of the most beautiful, authentic place we stayed in Thailand. We seen both rooms with private and shared bathroom and I definitely recommend those with shared bathroom as they are more elegant and classy, all in wood interiors with old style doors.

Always exceptional”

I stayed here about 3 years ago and loved the whole experience, so needing a few nights before a flight home, decided to return. I was shocked that such decent rooms were once again recently renovated. They truly do keep the place in perfect condition. The staff were friendly and professional as always.

Wonderful Experience ”

I only stayed one night at Baan Are Gong, but it was well worth the money I paid. Right next to the water taxi it’s easy to get across to the main area of Ayutthaya where you can rent bikes and explore the city. Don’t rent them on the Baan’s side of the river as you have to pay more to cross with the bikes. I also booked the night water tour with them for 180 Baht; worth the money to see the sunset over the temples!! I was scheduled to take the night train to Chaing Mai after my day in Ayutthaya. The owner let me keep my backpack at the Baan after checking out while explored the city and allowed me to hangout for the afternoon and take a shower before leaving. I would definitely recommend this place!

Great little hideaway”

A unique but traditional Thai style house that is over 100 years old. Great and very helpful staff, great location as it is a 2 min walk to train station and a 10 min car drive to most of the temples in the old city.

Beautiful!”

Felt like we were in a treehouse. The wood was beautiful! Staff were really nice, location is great! The ferry to get across the river was right next door. Definitely would recommend.

The greatest service staff”

I extremely appreciated staffs and the room is clean and comfortable. I ll come back here for sure!

A good place for a first night in Thailand”

I booked this hostel as I took the train first from Bangkok to Ayutthaya and the next day from Ayutthaya to Changrai, because of convenient location (close to the train station and quiet) and good reviews. And I was not disappointed. The house really has style, the people there are super friendly. E.g. the restaurant was closed during my stay but they allowed us to sit in the restaurant area and consume taka-away food (there are enough food stalls in the vicinity). Also, they do not rent out bicycles themselves, but there are several rentals in close walking distance.

Wonderful place with character and characters!”

The 2 sisters who own or run it along with the others are all a pleasure and helpful. Their deck on the river is a wonderful place to hang out, eat, drink and watch the boats go by. It’s 2 minutes to walk to the train station and one minute to the ferry. Loaded with atmosphere. Loved it!

Near the train station and pier to old city”

Nice tek wood building near train station. You just need to cross the rover by boat (5bath) and rent a bike to old city
