Kasayapi Hotel

Having spent a number of weeks in Bangkok over the last decade or so, we were looking for something different. After reading reviews of the many available hotels in the area we wanted to stay, we just knew this was the place we wanted to stay. Thankfully, we were fortunate to be able to book Kasayapi a few of months before our trip to Thailand. It is a real gem! It is quiet, green oasis, set next to the Itsaraphap MRT stop and a very convenient night market. Our room was very clean, comfortable and well-appointed. Noom and her sister are fantastic hosts. The included breakfast was fabulous! We enjoyed relaxing in the lovely pool after each day of exploring our favourite spots in the vibrant chaos that is Bangkok.

We loved everything about Kasayapi, especially the wonderful owners, Noom and her sister. You will not find a more wonderful place to stay in Bangkok. It is truly an oasis in the centre of the city. (The MRT stop is 2 minutes walk and you are only one stop away from The Grand Palace, 3 stops away from Chinatown) Once the gates close behind you, you are in a lush, quiet garden. The rooms are delightful, full of gorgeous little touches, and a huge comfortable bed. Breakfast is a delicious homely affair. Noom will do anything and everything to make your stay the best it can be. She is so friendly and helpful, a real pleasure to stay with.

This small hotel is the perfect hideout in the busy metropolis of Bangkok. Just steps away from the metro station and a lively local market, one enters a gate behind which a secret garden unfolds, that is casually surrounded by few hotel rooms and a breakfast pavillion. The well-designed architecture gives an interesting interpretation of the modern vernacular style of the traditional shophouses that one can find in the surrounding low rise neighborhood. Within this urban village, the hotel creates its own little aesthetically pleasing world, into which you are welcomed by the wonderful hotel owner, who is your host and helpful neighbor. The greenery, water features and birds make the stress of the city disappear. The local breakfast is modest, hounest and tasty and offers a nice introduction to traditional tastes. It adds to the whole experience, that offers authenticity as another form of luxury. One should keep this in mind when considering the price in respect to the three stars and the location. We were traveling for work and found in Kasayapi a perfect alternative for larger four star pretend-design hotels in the city. Starting the day at the other side of the river actually goves an interesting perspective, while at the same time the metro offers a fast connection to the centre - where we had appointments.
