In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
The guesthouse has several room types, all brightly coloured, and the thing reviewers keep mentioning is that each one has a small balcony onto the courtyard — you open the balcony door in the morning and there are green plants right there. Every room has air-con, a TV, a fridge, and an en-suite with a hot-water shower. The rooms are compact, in keeping with the old building, but clean and easy to settle into. The leafy outdoor courtyard is the shaded spot where you actually want to sit.
Food and amenities
Feung Nakorn has its own cafe and restaurant, Feung Nakorn Kitchen, serving Thai food and coffee — guests like to sip a coffee out in the courtyard in the morning, and it is very relaxing. There is free Wi-Fi, a shared lounge, luggage storage, a reception desk, and help arranging tours.
Location and getting there
It sits on Soi Fueang Thong in the Fueang Nakhon quarter of Rattanakosin Island, the old part of Bangkok. The setting is down a quiet soi, away from the noise, yet it is about 9 minutes' walk to the Grand Palace, 8 minutes to Wat Pho, and 9-10 minutes to MRT Sanam Chai. Real guests score it 8.5.
Things to know before booking
This is a guesthouse, so there is no pool or gym — set expectations accordingly. It is tucked down a soi, so finding the entrance the first time can be a little confusing; have the map ready. And the rooms run compact, the trade-off for staying inside an old building with this much character.
Our take
Feung Nakorn Balcony Rooms and Cafe is best for couples and travelers who want a quiet, charming place near Wat Phra Kaew. If you value the courtyard feel, the calm, and being able to walk to the temples — at a price from about $43 a night — this is the one we'd point you to.
