Ayothaya

The room felt too small for my husband and me to repack our things, and the service was poor. I asked for toilet paper and another towel, but the three guys at the lobby told me to go find them in the pool area on the second floor. The air conditioning couldn't cope with the heat, and the floor was so hot. With no windows to open, I was sweating by the time I reached the elevator. There was no AC in the lobby either, where our group briefing was held, and I couldn't follow it because of the heat. I didn't enjoy the stay and wouldn't recommend it.

A clean, basic hotel for 1,000bht, or $40 Canadian a night. I stayed in a day room, and the hallways were very hot while the room AC was poor. They also need to do something about the birds in the pool area.

The best thing here is the location, right by Farang Street, with a great choice of bars and restaurants and a good evening atmosphere. This is an average hotel in central Ayutthaya, with rooms around 1,000 baht a night. The bed was clean and comfortable, but the view from the window was terrible. The bathroom layout was poor, and keeping the shower temperature right was difficult.

Good value for the money, with a nice pool, friendly staff, and a good location.
