Royale 8 Ville  

In the quiet Banglumpoo / Phra Nakhon pocket of Bangkok, a calm hideaway a short walk from Khaosan Road and the riverside. Minutes from the Grand Palace, Wat Pho and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, this guesthouse puts you close to the city’s top temple sights and nightlife.

A compact property with 22 air-conditioned rooms featuring flat-screen TVs, blackout curtains and complimentary bottled water. Bathrooms have showers and toiletries, and housekeeping is provided. A terrace gives city views from a spot tucked away from the noisy Khaosan strip.

Complimentary wireless internet and luggage storage help keep short-stay logistics simple.

An on-site restaurant serves local cuisine and an English breakfast is available for a fee — a convenient spot to fuel up before hitting Khaosan Road or the riverfront.
