Lovely stay in Ayutthaya
Decided to stay at Baan Penny during a 1 day visit in Ayutthaya. Chose this hotel for its close proximity to the temples and based on previous visitor reviews. I was so glad to have stayed here! I was nicely welcomed by staff and by Gerhard (owner of the hotel). Gerhard then showed me my bungalow, the facilities, then arranged to lend me a bicycle (available to guests) so I can leisurely tour all of Ayutthaya. He even gave me maps and key tips on which temples to visit, attractions I shouldn't miss and where I can go for dinner. All very helpful as I didn't have much time to explore Ayutthaya. Gerhard even helped to get breakfast cooked for me the next morning and kindly arranged a tuktuk driver to get me to the train station after breakfast. What lovely service!! Gerhard and his helpful staff makes this a perfect place to stay at in Ayutthaya. I would certainly recommend staying here for anyone wanting to be right by the historical area.
One piece of advice if travelling by train from Bangkok, note that tuktuk drivers will prefer to take passengers on a day tour of Ayutthaya versus taking a small fare to merely take you to your hotel. I had to walk away from the train station across the bridge and into the outskirts of town just to find a willing scooter to drive me close to Baan Penny. Either you use the Grab App or perhaps arrange with Gerhard to get his trusted tuktuk driver to get you from the train station. This way you avoid the hassle of getting to the hotel.
