Samut Songkhram Province hotels & places to stay

We spent a weekend at the resort which made us feel so happy and relax by the interesting story/ concept of local Thai lifestyle throughout every single design of each facilities and very well landscape. We love the relaxing area by the river, a buffalo cafe. The Rustic Rose restaurant served very tasty Pasta and Steak. Kati and Kala, the lovely buffalo are well taken care in good environment, separated from resort rooms. Staff are nice and always ready to serve us very well. We definitely recommend this hotel to the one who love a designed hotel/resort type.

We spent 2 nights in this Retro-Hotel. The rooms are in 2-storey building around a Buddhist-Garden looking like a Thai-village. We had a Deluxe room without windows to look out but with a antique spacious bathroom with golden water taps. The fridge was empty same as the hotel… every staff on duty but we were nearly the only guests (Monday/Tuesday in July on low season). We felt very welcome and well but this hotel has definitely not more than 3 stars. You pay for the nostalgic and antique architecture and furniture.

Located right at the riverside, great ambiance with good selections of musics. Personalized service, attention to detail especially the food presentation and most importantly taste amazing....super cozy and its the best place if you want to be alone. Personal firefly watching pick up right at your guesthouse and the best part for all is the monk offering service, 50 baht per set with fresh flowers included. Literally 2 minutes was to get a songtheaw to Maeklong Market... and 5 minutes walk along the riverside to Amphawa Wet Market ..one of my best place to stay in Thailand

The hotel is located within the Amphawa floating market area, which is the main reason we chose it. When we first arrived we were disappointed with the room which was upstairs and next door to a service lift. The room was small and basic. So we asked to change and paid 200 baht more for a bigger room downstairs next to the coffeehouse/breakfast area. I had concerns about the noise but the room was large with low beds on a split level area. It was clean and tidy and I was happy to pay for the upgrade. All the rooms are built around a central courtyard. Our room was next to the coffeehouse reached by crossing a small bridge over a pond contain Koi. You are required to remove your shoes before entering the coffeehouse area, which I completely agree with. There is a car park at the rear of the hotel which was very full when we arrived on Sunday afternoon but we managed to park ok. So first impressions on this hotel were not great. However after up a freshen up we left the room, walked through the coffeehouse and onto the river. The walkways were thriving with people, boats and wonderful smells everywhere. We decided to have a coffee at the coffeehouse and sit for a while to soak up the atmosphere. The coffeehouse sells quality tea and coffee and its definitely recommended. Breakfast is taken in the coffeehouse and was great. Great coffee and lovely food which you help yourself to. You sit at traditional low tables which adds to the atmosphere. We loved this hotel! Amphawa floating market is a most wonderful romantic place to visit and this hotel is in a perfect location. Its represents great value for money and would definitely be happy to return. Tip – Amphawa floating market is lively, full of life, wonderful markets, great restaurants, and you should definitely take a river boat trip (about 50 baht per person). However everything closes from Monday to Thursday. Book for a Friday, Saturday or Sunday.

We stayed 2 nights. The hotel is very quiet during the week, but during weekends and holidays many Thai families are also visiting the hotel. The rooms are grouped in Thai style buildings, but not overly clean. For us it was sufficient. When we wanted to visit Amphawa or Samut Songkram we got a free transfer from the hotel to town. For the return we could call the hotel any time and the minivan came within 10 minutes to pick us up. Breakfast was OK; excellent freshly brewed coffee and view on the river with giant Iguana's. The pool lies has a view on the lovely river

This is a small family owned resort. But the owner make many details like a four star hotel. Clean room and good bed with four pillows. You even get safety locker and varieties of free minibar. We get coconuts as welcome drink. Night milk for the children. The breakfast was arranged in the door table, you see the pool and enjoy breakfast in your private area, very delicious. The owner even pick us for dinner and to minivans station while checking out for free. The quality and service we get is outstanding, especially when you consider the reasonable price. Finally, amphawa on weekday is a very quiet place, you can enjoy the calm atmosphere. If you want to see the fireflies, you can rent a private boat for just 500baht price, the experience is awesome for my kids.

The place runs by an amazing family, the owner speak great English, they are kind, generous, quiet, the cleanest place we ever been in. The resort is 2 years old, for 3 stars you get soap, shampoo, towels, free coffee/tea 24h and free drinking water. Location is great, 5min away drive from the floating market, around 10min drive away from the railway market.the bonus of this place is the pool in the centre of the place, just outside the door step, Our kids just loved the place and so did we. We will defenetly be back.

I stayed at Villa Amphawa with my lovely taiwanese girlfriend on July. It was the most memorable hotel since we travelled together. The hotel was built as coloniel style and located in the green scenery atmotsphere. All staffs were very accommodate with a big smile on their faces. You can book some sightseeing tour with them accordingly too example a fire fly tours, and lucky me bcoz i see a thousands of it on the tour. Breakfast was fair but still have all you need for energy. Rooms was extreamly comfortable with a nice design. The only downside for my stay is at night time hotel wall will have a lot of house lizard and my girlfriend very scare of them but it make me can't stop laughing at her LOL. If have a chance to Amphawa i will definitely stay here and of course i will recommend Villa amphawa to all of my friends. Cheers!!!

If one expect to be on the spot of the bustling floating market, Yao In Chan would be the wrong choice. We were looking for a real retreat after staying in Bangkok for some weeks, Yao In Chan is probably the best solution for us. It is located in Banprok, with a 10 min distance (by Tuk Tuk) to Amphawa Floating Market. Since the market starts from the afternoon and runs till the evening, we could enjoy our morning of tranquility in different corners of the garden and the balcony of our room. We were staying on the second floor, there is a private balcony overlooking the riverside garden, and the shared balcony on the other side of the room leads to the beautiful view of the pond. The owner and his families, as well as the staff, are extremely helpful and friendly, every single detail is being taken care at Yao In Chan. We will definitely be back...

This place was very good the down point were far from the market or any convenient store and doesn't have pool. You will need to have your own transportation if not would recommend to find some other place. Apart from that the resort was nice right next to the river. Offered the Thai style breakfast and a bit of western choices. My family booked 4 rooms in total (deluxe and superior type), I would recommended to book the deluxe room for a lot better view and bigger size with the very small price gap to compare with Superior. Also one of the Superior room smell very badly from the sewer.

Fantastic location! Easy enough to find and literally situated above the floating markets - just open the french doors onto the balcony and BAM! Super friendly staff greeted us in the cafe downstairs upon arrival, and asked us what we would like for the following breakfast and at which time we'd prefer it (and honestly, it was probably the best breakfast we'd had in Thailand). The room itself was so cosy, and indulgent. It did not disappoint at all - in fact, it rose above my expectations. Air con and wifi were flawless too. Complimentary tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and water too . What more could you want? :)

My stay was overall very relaxing. I stayed there on a normal weekday and so the floating market shops were all closed. I did not mind it because everywhere it was quiet and peaceful.I did book the room with bathroom. On my arrival I found out that the room is the room downstairs. From the presentation on the booking i thought it would be a room with a view. The room was very dark and had no view at all. I was offered to have a look upstairs to the 2 rooms with a view to the river. Both rooms upstairs have no own bathroom. One room is for 4 persons and the other one was for two. The double room was very small but cozy and had a nice view. Every think very clean. I was ok with the room and took it instead. The only thing that i missed was a place to hang the towels. There was a terrace for all guests in front of the room . Breakfast was good quality fried rice. The owner was always kind and helpful. For people who care about using wifi, the free wifi was very fast. I would come to stay here again.

I really planned to lower my expectations as this trip was real last minute one and the only room left was from them (esp they rated themselves 2*). My mate & I were surprised!! 1. Customer Service: Really friendly owner.. And very extremely helpful one too. We had nice chit chats at night before bed.. And felt so at home. 2. Cleanliness: No, you don't expect it to feel like a villa. But it did. Our room was for the family one (but last room left because we flew the day right after booking was made). So clean, so comfortable. And safe! They latched gates at certain hours. 3. Location: Just a stones throw away from amphawa boat area, and yet not close enough for it to be constantly noisy. Public buses were easily available right at our doorstep for an adventure to sightseeing locations. No regrets! I will definitely be back.

it was one of a kind. We came in very very late - 2AM because of delay at the immigration at Don Muang Airport but they were very accommodating to still welcome us with a smile. I didnt realize that Amphawa was completely opposite of Bangkok. The whole place was very quiet and there were no more establishments open at that particular hour, i guess there's not much night life in Amphawa, thus i was even more thankful for the staff's consideration to still open their doors for us. The whole place was both big and small - big because the land area was big for a house but small because the rooms were small and the ceiling was low. i also liked the feel of the homestay because they're truly a homestay. I really felt at home and the whole place was a real home. our breakfast was free, it was simple and tasty. I liked the appetizer very much. I dont know what it's called but it was like a fried fritter with no filling and tasted really really good. It somehow felt special also because the owners were the ones who prepared it. Our room was their cheap room - there was just 1 bed enough for 2 persons, there was AC, a small table and a wooden ladder that served as a rack for towels and clothes. The remarkable thing about baanchompoo was the whole place was very cute. Everything would make you smile and feel like "aaawwww".. cute figurines and very nice DIY stuff - old refrigerator made into plant pot organizer, thermos made into a plant pot, etc. The colors were pastel (lilac, pink) and homey (brown, green) Value for the money: Very good (for our cheap room) Location: very good, walking distance from the floating market and shuttle to bangkok (about 5 to 10 mins away) Staff: very good

The staff are very friendly and eager to help but do not speak a word of English making it difficult to communicate. The home stay is a 15 boat ride to Amphawa not steps away like it says in the write up. That was a huge disappointment for us as that was the purpose of our visit to the area was to see the Amphawaw floating market. The rooms are very clean and the most comfy bed we've had in Thailand so far, firm but softer than most. The showers are spacious but just Luke warm. The family dog is very sweet and has been trained well but gets very excited for any meal scraps that might come his way. This would be a nice place to relax and enjoy the setting or if you had your own transportation. The grounds are well kept with pretty plants and flowers and they do offer food if you can communicate. We used a translation app on our iPad which the staff got a real kick out of.

the hotel location is not very close to Amphawa floating marking. You cannot walk to the market but there is only 20THB per person for motorbike taxi or TukTuk. I booked the room with triple beds. There were 1 queen bead and 1 single bed. The beds were not soft; there're quite hard which I think someone can have a sleeping problem with these beds. There was no hair dryer. The real accommodation and the photos on website were the same (the photos were taken from the real place). The woman who was a housekeeper and also a receptionist was very nice and kind. She served us very well and gave us lots of suggestions about how to travel around Amphawa. We all impressed on her service. For the breakfast, there were boiled rice with minced pork, bread, jam, butter, sweetened condensed milk, coffee, and Milo. The weather was nice; not too hot, maybe it's because there were many tree at the accommodation.

We stayed for four nights at the resort. The villa was very clean and comfortable, set in pleasant gardens. Breakfast was taken next to the river each morning, where it was also possible to enjoy a drink. There was a large restaurant next to the resort. Although about a kilometre from the town of Samut Songkhram, tuk-tuks were easily available so transport was not a problem. Despite this, the people from the hotel drove us into town on two occasions. All in all, a pleasant stay in an attractive location.

Very nice stay in this hotel. I told them we'd be arriving on bicycles and they had printed custom signs with my name for bike parking! Nice attention to detail. Rooms aren't huge but are very clean. Shower and air-con worked well, bed was comfortable - 4 pillows on the bed, which you don't usually see in budget hotels. Electronic keycards worked well for security. It's a bit out of 'downtown' with not much around to see or do, but this is a very small town with not much to see or do anyway. Great value for money overall.
