Sourire at Rattanakosin Island

Guests who stayed here loved

“If what draws you to Bangkok is the rich culture and history of Thailand, the incredibly tasty food conjured up in the smallest and simplest of kitchens, and a sense of curiosity about the everyday life of Thai people, then Rattanakosin is the ideal area for your stay. And if what you’re looking for in accommodation is a tranquil, comfortable and characterful home away from home, then Sourire, the labour of love of owner Suree, is just perfect. The garden area at the entrance and the spacious rooms with their dark wood floors, beautiful furnishings (no plastic, bling or glaring colours here) and powerful AC are havens of relief after a day out exploring the historic heart of the city - which you can easily reach on foot, as it’s all walkable distance from the hotel. The hotel kitchen provides a simple but good European style breakfast, but there are many other options in the area too, including home kitchen cooking where you pick your meal from pots of prepared foods. Be aware that construction is going on nearby on the extension of the Metro line; but this doesn’t affect your stay at all as what noise there is during the day is only very faint, and there is no noise at night at all. You’ll sleep very tranquility, perhaps hearing the call of the koel and other birds early in the morning. In addition, if you’re ever faced with a bit of a crisis, like we were when something accidentally got left behind, Su is a problem solver of note. Facilities: Each room has a small fridge and deluxe rooms have a kettle; bring your own coffee/ tea and hair dryer. Ironing board available downstairs.”
