Baan Lotus Guest House
Compare prices
Set along Pa Maphrao Road in Ayutthaya's Ho Rattanachai area, this guest house occupies a collection of traditional wooden houses surrounded by a garden and lake, offering a calm, characterful retreat from the heat of the ancient city. The property's setting is one of its strongest draws — guests frequently mention the peaceful atmosphere and well-maintained grounds, making it a popular choice for those wanting more than a generic hotel stay.
Accommodation is simple and honest: rooms are clean but basic, with wall fans rather than air conditioning in some units, and modest furnishings. What consistently stands out in visitor accounts is the warmth of the host family, who are known for treating guests with genuine hospitality. Bicycles are available to hire on site, which is one of the best ways to reach Ayutthaya's UNESCO-listed temples and ruins at an easy pace. Breakfast is available, and the surrounding neighbourhood provides access to local restaurants and markets.

This is one of the best places I have stayed while I was in Thailand. The most satisfying thing of my stay was the owner family. They treated us like their relatives. The owner uncle gave free water bottles while we’re having dinner. Gramma was also kind. The other people were also friendly. As other facilities and services, you can have coffee or tea in the kitchen area. There’s also bicycle rental which cheap. The room was exactly the same as in pictures when I stayed. You can choose fan or AC rooms. Location is easy to commute. There’s also a lotus pond where you can see fireflies. And the whole compound is very pleasant and full of plants and flowers. Though the building looks old, you can taste a kind of Thai traditional building style as a chance. I’d definitely go there and stay again. 👍
Stayed for 5 nights because it's really peaceful. Nice big garden and lake around these woden traditional houses. Place is super clean, staff are nice and there's bikes to ride (i recommend). I stayed in the cheapest room, it only has a bed and a fan, but that's more than enough in December
Room quite basic, no clothes hanger at all, wonder where to put our used clothes, but there are a desk and two wooden chair Room has no aircond..only wall fan, quite hot in the afternoon. breakfast only hot tea or coffee, no bread
