A family-run place, nicely located near the historical park, many old temples and the elephant palace. in a green and quiet par of town. highly recommended if you're looking for something simple and quiet! The hosts are friendly and helpful.

Lovely property with 8 bungalow-type rooms. Very friendly host who mapped out a one day tour of Ayutthaya for us, including an excellent local restaurant. Bikes are available at Baan Penny and that is how we we toured the city. There is a market nearby too.

Absolute Gem in Ayutthaya
So happy we stayed here! It was like staying with family, if they catered to your every need! The property is gorgeous and close to themain centeal ruins complex (about a 10 min walk). The owners suggested hiring a tuk tuk driver for the day, arranged everything and even created an itinerary so we were able to see the famous temples and some hidden gems we didn't know to look for. And im so glaf we took them up on it since it took all the stress of of us. They let us check in early and check out late since we were taking an overnight train to Chiang Rai at 9pm at night... whcih meant we didnt have to worry about anything between the regular check out time anf when we left. I can't recommend them enough! Was sad to leave this place behind!

Wonder Stay with Kind Owner
This place was an excellent stay while we were in Ayutthaya. We used the bikes available at the hotel, and everything was in easy biking distance. The breakfasts were excellent and the owner was kind. He recommended what temples we should see in the two day we were there and checked on us a couple times to make sure we were getting around alright. Great place, highly recommend!

We couldn’t have asked for a more gracious host. From the moment we arrived Garhart offered us a cold drink, got us set up right away in our room and then helped us to plan for our visit. He was extremely helpful arranging for our tuk tuk’s and organized a river water tour early one evening. We would highly recommend Baan Penny as the perfect location to explore Ayutthaya.

The owner Gerhard was extremely helpful and suggested bike routes to take around Ayutthaya to see the historic sites- and they supplied bikes to use to tour around the historical centre. Gerhard's wife arranged a boat tour around the island which was an excellent way to see Ayutthaya. The property is located on the island but away from the busyness - it was a quiet refuge and reasonably priced.

We stayed at the Baan Penny hotel for one night but left wishing we had booked for two or three. It is such a pleasant place to stay with its beautiful garden grounds and well designed bungalows. My wife loved the different flowers and plants and I liked the fact that the windows had anti-mosquito mesh which meant we could sleep at night with the window open. The hotel is also located in a quiet area but in easy reach of the main tourist sites. There is a lot to see in Ayutthaya and we wished we had planned to see more of it at a more leisurely pace. The breakfast at the Baan Penny was excellent and our hosts were very friendly. Gerhard in particular is a very interesting man and did everything he could to make us feel comfortable and welcome.

Baan Penny was relaxing and rejuvenating after being in Bangkok. The owners were very helpful with giving helpful tips and ideas about exploring Ayutthaya. It was sparkling clean and the property has a very peaceful feel. There is a playground next door that my kids enjoyed. They provide bikes for free and we rented a moped from them as well which was very convenient. Thanks for a great stay!

Lovely property and great hospitality
We had a wonderful two night stay at Baan Penny. The room was immaculately clean and comfortable. The hosts were friendly and helpful. They lent bikes to us to visit the main sights which are just 10-15 minutes away by bicycle. It was a pleasure to ride a bicycle in Ayutthaya. The breakfast was delicious and they very kindly made myself a vegetarian/vegan breakfast. We would certainly stay there again.

Great
The owners of this property were awesome, can not say enough good about them. We were picked up from the bus stop by the owner which we totally didn't expect and that was at no extra cost. She waited for an hour and a half as our business was late getting in. The immediate area around this property is not great, but not unsafe, just the garbage that was around. Inside their property is like a little oasis, very well done. We did enjoy the fact we could walk to the main ruins, about 30 to 40 minutes walk. Breakfast was excellent and would suggest booking that along with one's room, especially as there's not a lot around in Ayuthaya for eating. Thank you for such warm hospitality.

A gem within Ayutthaya
We originally planned 2 nights, but stayed 3 nights at the end of the day. What a pleasant stay. Gerhard and his wife Anchali could not have been better hosts. It was out first visit to Thailand and not everything was planned to the last detail. They helped us with transportation to their place and later on for the journey onward. We asked for Restaurants, local markets and food - they had all the answers and even took us to those places. What a charming and lovely couple.

家族経営で、皆様とってもフレンドリーでした。オーナーはドイツの方のようでドイツの国旗が掲げてありあました。 部屋は清潔で、周りは静かで過ごしやすかったです。 街から離れていますが、無料で自転車を貸してもらえるので不便はありません。 部屋にポットはありませんが、食堂でお湯がもらえるので全く問題ありませんでした。 コストパフォーマンスが良いと思います。 このホテルをお勧めします。 It's family run and everyone was very friendly. The owner seems to be from Germany, and there was a German flag hanging there. The room was clean and the surroundings were quiet and comfortable. Although it's far from the city, you can rent a bicycle for free, so it's not an inconvenience. There is no kettle in the room, but you can get hot water in the dining room, so it wasn't a problem at all. I think it has good cost performance. I highly recommend this hotel.

Amazing stay. 5 star service.
I give 5 star for Service and location, if you are in town to look at the old capital ruins, location can´t be beaten. less than 2 km to that. small resort with home like service. i came with family for 2 nights and we all felt like home. I travel for 2 months every year so lot´s of hotels ... so i know about good and bad.... There is a bicycle on spot , takes less than 10 min to ride to old town.. I highly recommend Baan Penny, love to see when owners put the heart in to the work. .See you next time in Ayutthaya ..Thanks for superp stay.
