Positioned in Tambon Pratuchai within Ayutthaya's historic core, this hostel serves as a practical and sociable base for exploring one of Thailand's most significant ancient capitals.

Reviews from Google
Great little hostel hotel close to the large park with many of the old temple historical sites. There's an awesome night market in walking distance. Close to many cool little places. Enjoyed our stay so much, we booked a second night there
These days they seem to have no include breakfast but they had free food between 8:00 and 12:00 - I'm very grateful that I had some sort of breakfast in the morning
Floors and walls are paper thin, and the showers clog then leak through the floor. Our friends were downstairs from a group of travelers who were up all night dancing, then at some point the upstairs shower overflowed and rained a torrent of water into their room. The family next to us had 3 kids who were running and playing all day and night and it sounded like they were in the room with us. The location was great, and the price was low, but I will not return.
