This is lovely little hotel in a perfect location for exploring the ruins of Ayutthaya, with two of the main sites being located just across the road. The staff are very friendly and helpful and willing to help with any problems and to give advice restaurants and which parts of the ruins to visit. Breakfast is basic, just toast, fruit, boiled eggs and cake, but is perfectly adequate. We had the family room which was spacious and had one double bed and one single bed, both of which were very comfortable. The two restaurant suggestions we were given were excellent, one of which is included on the map they give you. The hotel is also very close to the night market which is fun to explore.

We struggled with the steep ladder up to the sleeping platform with the single bed. The ladder is vertical and if you have any kind of mobility problems or pain in your arms very hard to get up and down. The staff very kindly moved the single mattress down into the lounge space for us. Also, the sofa they give you to sit on is at floor level which didn't suit us either as it was uncomfortable for your back. However, it was perfect to put on top of the single mattress which made it much more comfortable. The huge thank you to the staff for being so amenable to us old crocks! You can also rent bikes from the hotel but they are rather dilapidated and could do with some renovation.

I love Tamarind Guesthouse ♡ Everything is wonderful, perfect location. The girls who work here are so nice! It is the best location, too! I was able to visit Wat Mahatat in the mornings and in the sunset for great photos. I walked in Tranquil Park early each morning. I felt surrounded with the history of Ayutthaya. Breakfast was good most mornings but less was offered one day, not sure if it was due to different staff that time. The place has perfect charm, great AC, comfortable beds and a nice bathroom. I was so happy here! I enjoyed eating at Youta Vegan restaurant about 15 minutes away and Old City Coffee, just two minutes walk. This was a real highlight of my trip to Thailand, I would definitely stay again. Thank you!

The hotel itself is perfect! The charm of the traditional buildings comes with sound carrying very easily. This place is best served by keeping quiet and peaceful, especially at night. Consideration might mean turning off ringtones, notifications and not having loud voice calls at night. As long as everyone respects each other, it's a great place to sleep.

The owners! Beautiful couple and informative of the area. The staff are so friendly and helpful too. If ever in Ayutthaya in the future, this is our go to place for sure! ❤️ We planned a 3 night stay and extended to 4 as we just loved the relaxed vibe here. And after almost a month on the go travelling up Thailand, this was perfect for us - especially after Bangkok. Designed with a playful, quirky layout made such an artistic and creative way to build a house - almost like a huge tree house but for grown ups. A great shared space area too which feels calm and relaxing. We stayed in a twin room and loved the treehouse feel to it all. I could actually live in this house! (Just to note, if you’re a bit of a party person, this is not the place for you. It’s a quiet retreat with a no noise after 10 which we loved!) Great position for all the best sights and all the information you could need on the area. And onward travels too. Even a board with places to eat from other guest. We chose to eat at the night market at a little seafood stall near the far end of market. A chap with a red hat on cooks the most amazing red snapper served over hot coals, muscles, clams and such. Ate here twice. Hope you find him! He has 3/4 hot pans/pots on the go. It’s busy with locals so wait in line for a seat if none.

1. Exceptional hosts The hosts of Tamarind were truly fantastic. Extremely friendly, great hospitality and you can really sense how much they care for the well-being of their guests. They gave us so much assistance in how to move around Ayutthaya and beyond (there were bus and train schedules nicely displayed on the wall), what places should be at the top of our list, (recommended the boat tour which was very nice!) and food recommendations (also prominently displayed!). They were there to provide "first aid" in the form of congee for my travelling companion who had a bout of indigestion and some OTC medicines too. Even though our lodging did not include food, we were still provided with good coffee, toast and cakes! Koy is a wonderful baker - if you are lucky, you may get to try her banana and coconut cake! Yumz! 2. Great location Just across the road from Wat Mahathat so we were the first persons into this site and were able to spend time there before the crowds came in. Also just a very short walk to the night market which is ultra-convenient. 3. Clean rooms with good functioning air-conditioning - lovely to come back to after time out in the hot weather in Ayutthaya.

The only option available when we booked was a family room. Whilst it was a large room, it was not really that suitable for us "older people" as there are steps to climb for one room and a small ladder to climb to the second. If you had children (or younger!) it would be rather enjoyable though. The beds are also mattresses on the floor (i.e. legless beds!) so again for us it was less comfortable having to get up from that. However, the mattresses were very comfortable. In the living room, it is again floor seating.

Such a lovely and funky spot with very hospitable owners. They will help you with anything you need, offer you a free shower after checkout if you’re waiting all day for the night train like us, and prepare a small breakfast every morning. The vibes were amazing in the common area with plants, little Knick knacks, and seating. Super close to the park and other restaurants too.

Only thing I would have liked is a double or queen bed since we are a couple. There are only two single or twin beds.

We absolutely loved staying here. The staff were amazing, the location perfect for sightseeing, the bike hire was very cheap, there was free hot and cold water, the included breakfast was incredible! Our three children had the loft and it was just lovely. Very quirky and quaint. The standard double room we had was very nice. The aircon worked well in both rooms. Fridges in both rooms. Food was easily accessible in any direction from the guesthouse. It was very close to the night market for dinner.

The guest house is very quaint and in a great location, across from the ruins and very close to the night market. Staff was wonderful and helpful. Our room was comfortable and so was the bed, bedding, and pillows. We appreciated the breakfast corner with toast, eggs, coffee, and tea.

No soundproofing between the rooms (although the other guests were very respectful), some barking dogs in the middle of the night and early in the morning.

Right across the Rd from ruins, easy walk to lots of food options and night markets. Room was so lovely and cool and private bathroom was also nice! There’s a few spots to relax around the guesthouse and coffee, tea etc all day. The breakfast was great! I tried two local Thai dishes and both were super yummy. The staff are kind and friendly, the property has noise curfews in place but there were no issues. I slept really well.

Nothing not to like it’s fabulous. They even let you store your luggage and take a shower before night train!

Very good location in front of prime ruin sites. Walking distance to night market. Bikes on site. Front desk can arrange train and bus transfers without overcharging. Locl tours available. Good continental breakfast. Filtered drinking water refill on site. Tucked away enough to give a quaint and quiet stay.

I loved my stay at Tamarind Guest House with my son. It was right across the street from two of the main ruins in Ayutthaya, plus the night market. The guest house itself is really cool, with lots of fun details, like old shutters used for dividing walls, and blue and white ceramic pieces everywhere. A great value, super nice hosts, and a top location. I highly recommend.
