Family friendly vintage guest house in Old Bangkok

Clean & colourful

by PN guests :) on 01/12/12

We spent 3 nights at this delightful hotel. We loved the quirky paintings everywhere and the rooms were beautifully clean. The staff were friendly and helpful and the meals we had there unusual and very good. Although there was concern about the floods, we were kept informed and we could see that they were prepared if we did become stranded - boats appeared in the lobby!

PN response:
Thank you for your message , we are so happy to hear that and thank you very much for your understanding about the flood situation which was unpredictable.
However we have prepared all kind of measures to make sure that our guests will be safe and stay dry and luckily enough, the flood did not reach our hotel :)

We hope to welcome you again someday very soon, as please remember that we are your home in Bangkok!

Gosh - absolutely adore their warm & charm hospitality.....

Big thanks to 'google' when I type 'Vintage hotel Bangkok' - that's PN shown! Must COME! I do appreciated with Donald, who have lot of time to responses in email correspondences due our concerns of the big floods. He's star! I'm GLAD to come.
Love their decor and painting walls so vintage, my travel friend & I were feel so home and comfortable - staffs are friendly, warm and caring, especially look after us as family vibre. I'd never stop to clicks camera!
Never forget, their gorgeous welcome gift, a soap & tiger balm (homemade), little vouchers (food, drink & half price massage treatment), which touching our heart - unique hotel to treat guests. We have asked for hot milk, they do provided - a yummy taste!
Location, decors, hotel style, food, atmosphere make us feel in Thai real community. I'd definitely come back, been stayed other hotel in central, no feel Thai vibes, as tourist label! PN treats you as soul person, not 'tourist'! You MUST come & stay!

Room Tip: Oh gosh .... I feel all rooms with balcony are goregeous different decors and painting walls. Our room, is far end of the corrindor - our bathroom got window (think other rooms are middle, no window of bathroom),

It is wonderful that you enjoyed staying with us and PN team and felt our communication comes from our soul!

Tranquility amongst chaos

PN (as it tends to be shortened to) is initially a little difficult to find and is certainly not the sort of place you would stumble across unless you were specifically looking for it. The reception and breakfast/restaurant area is situated around a courtyard style garden which is really peaceful and quiet and a nice place to just hang out, read etc. The room was really nice and had a hot shower in a private bathroom. We did have a balcony over the courtyard although we didn't use it. There is not a patch of this hotel that has not had huge amounts of attention to detail paid to it, every inch has been carefully created in what must have been an exceptionally arduous task.
The breakfasts are very good and although not included in the price I'd recommend eating lunch or dinner there also - the Pad Thai was one of the best we had.
Sadly, while we were there PN were preparing for the floods and had bricked up the entrance way, and were looking to close for a month, all being well they'll be back to business soon.

One of the loveliest places I've stayed

We love PN!

We booked PN following the good reviews on TripAdvisor and it did not disappoint. It was the best place to start our trip and i would recommend it to anyone. It's homely and cozy, everyone was super-friendly even while they were trying to deal with the incoming floods and potential consequences on the hotel. You will get to see a part of Bangkok you would have probably not come across staying in a centre hotel. Stayed October 2011, traveled as a couple

PN response:
How wonderful to receive a lovely message from you!
We would love our guests to see & experience the local area of Bangkok, and the real Thai life.
It is glad to know that you did enjoy something new in Bangkok, as well as staying with us, the slow life.
Thank you for you sharing your happy memory on Tripadvisor, and I am sure your message help other travelers who are interested in Phranakorn Nornlen!
As you mentioned, we are now closing until 31st NOV as it is difficult to have slow life due to the flood.
Luckily, we are not affected by the flood but we prefer to help our neighbors and the victims. We are now trying to get back our slow life as the situation is getting better an better.
We will open up again in December!
We hope to welcome you again someday very soon, as we are your home in Bangkok!
