Visitor Reviews
We loved this place. Gorgeous little boutique hotel by the river with an amazing restaurant to boot. They have a Michelin rated restaurant but the food isn’t too much more than you’d pay at any seafood spot in town. Yet you get unbeatable views of the river, accommodating service, and top notch ingredients. We explored temples and food markets each night and still came back for more food at the hotel. This hotel is located next to the Pomphet Fort; we were here during Loy Krathong…just the perfect spot to set off our krathongs bidding bye to negative energies and ushering positive new ones into our lives. Our 3 night stay was made perfect by its lovely team here, led by Ann. My son had the best time with P Back, cracking jokes and playing with Minecraft toys he got at the market (despite the barrier with language!)…and even insisted we bring P Back with us to Hua Hin! We are already plotting another stay at Baan Pomphet and it will be a pleasure to manufacture a trip to Ayutthaya next year.
An Exceptional Stay! The room was impeccably clean, thoughtfully designed, and exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a truly restful stay. The bed was incredibly cozy, allowing for deep and uninterrupted sleep. The private balcony added a delightful touch—perfect for unwinding and enjoying a peaceful moment. Considering the quality and experience, the value for money was truly outstanding. In room breakfast were incredible and so chill while you can enjoy morning coffee and choice of local breakfast with a slow river flow. The dining experience was equally impressive. Every dish was delicious and beautifully prepared. The staff were professional, warm, and highly attentive, providing service of an excellent standard throughout the stay. With its reasonable pricing, high-quality offerings, and elegant ambiance, the overall experience exceeded expectations. A highly refined and memorable stay—I would gladly return and strongly recommend this property.
This review is solely for the restaurant. It is amazing! I think the secret is super fresh fiish and seafood, expertly cooked to perfection. I orgerd a deep fried catfish, it came with a saucy green papaya salad with for dipping. The catfish was cooked perfectly. Crispy on the outside and buttery moist and delicious on the inside. Absolutely heavenly with the salad. I apologize, I butchered the photo. I dug in before realizing that I had ruined the shot. I tried to hide my transgressions with a papaya salad. I also got the squid and shrimp with minced pork and banana flower salad. Delicious. I sat on the deck downstairs. The view was amazing. The staff were equally amazing. They set up two fans for me without me having to ask. It was a memorable meal and luxurious service. Definitely lives up to its star. Jo Bob says, check it out. That’s gen X talk. It means, it’s good go there.
