This property is tucked away from the madness of Bangkok. It feels like another world within that world. I Loved the location because I was able to walk to so many temples and interesting things to see. Great food was also very close by. The staff was so sweet and so helpful. I’m not big on Bangkok, but the people here and this place made me feel at home and safe. When I come back, I’ll be sure to stay here again! Thank you so much❤️

We arrived at 7:30, place was completely dark and shut down. Down a scary narrow lane with stray cats and dogs, dirty crammed shops. Steps were glistening (not for those with mobility issues), walls paper thin, the staff who checked us in couldn't understand "water bottle," stray cats were howling out the window, and the bathroom smelled of sweat. We braved the slippery steps and patio in the rain and left to another hotel in spite of taking a complete loss on our 5 day rental. Only appropriate for young backpackers or the intrepid. Owner was nice.

Lovely location, wonderful area, great staff!
I only stayed here one night as I had to leave back to the US the next day, but I would have gladly stayed here longer! Baan Kachitpan is a wonderful location on a quiet side street. The rooms are beautiful, the patio upstairs is lovely and the breakfast is simple and delicious! The location is amazing, walking distance to many tourist attractions and restaurants. Jam made sure everyone was well taken care of and she was there to answer all the questions I needed in regards to booking a last-minute flight home. I wish I could have stayed here longer and I will definitely stay here again next time I go to Bangkok!

They wasn’t expecting us at checking in but was sorted once spoke to the owner . Place is in a lovely area tucked aware from the hustle and bustle and very quirky . Property is a wooden building so of a night time when your trying to sleep you can hear everyone else coming and going through the night and banging and crashing of their doors . The bed in the superior room ( 102 ) is probably the hardest mattress I’ve ever slept on - probably would of been more flex on the timber floor. Cable channels advertised on Tv but should state no English speaking channels what so ever . Not the most ideal place to stay if you want a decent nights sleep .

Pleasant stay in a convenient location
The Thai breakfast was good and the dishes changed every day. The room was clean and comfortable. I didn't book for private bathroom and had to share bathroom with other travellers. But the bathroom was free whenever I needed it, there was no need to queue at all. I was happy to meet with Jam, who took care of Baan Kachitpan. She was a most friendly lady to chat with. The place is conveniently located at the centre of the old city, just 15-20 minutes walk to the Grand Palace, and it has over 80 years of history. It's quite a unique experience to stay here. But be prepared the walls and floors are rather not soundproof. I was staying on the first floor and heard steps and conversations mumbling through the ceiling. I slept well nonetheless. Also there were not enough hooks in the bathroom (I found only two small hooks). It would be very useful if there could be more.

The house is charming & beautiful, and the location near Old City (approx 15 minute walk) is perfect. The Giant Swing is a good reference point to give to taxi driver's - the hotel is only a few minutes walk from it. Jam and the rest for the staff are so friendly and inviting, and were helpful with offering suggestions for locations to visit in the city. Breakfast each morning was delicious and consisted of a traditional Thai dish. Be sure to have some of the lemongrass tea! The bed is hard. However, after a full day of exploring the city, I still had a very good night's sleep, and it should not stop you for staying here.

A welcome oasis...
After journeying from Bangkok airport on a bus and then catching a taxi that took me slightly closer to where I needed to be, I found myself on a busy street with the taxi driver pointing down an alleyway. The alleyway was enchanchting. There was foliage and small shrines and people going about their business. Then I saw the sign. I couldn’t have been happier. Ban Kachitpan was a serene oasis with a busy world right on its doorstep. Jam, the daughter of the owner greeted me like an old friend and straight say I knew I was going to love this place. The house is old (around 78yrs) and colonial in style and has been beautifully cared for. The traveller wants for nothing. Jam and her team have thoughtfully provided all a traveller would need. The Guesthouse is conveniently located for exploring places on foot on inexpensive tuk-tuks. Jam will happily help and advise and will also give you a map. The breakfast was a delight (typically Thai), not something I would have normally chosen from a menu but I’m so glad I tried it. The hospitality you are given here leaves you wishing you could stay for so much longer.

Quaint hidden gem
This is a lovely little hidden gem, hidden amongst a little residential area. It's perfectly balanced between close to attractions but not busy and noisy. It's a very quaint little place, great to chill out at the end of the day. The staff are all very attentive and super friendly. Breakfast was different every day and delicious. Air conditioning works a treat in the cosy rooms. Wash facilities are shared but this isn't a problem, the limited hotel occupancy means I always got in a shower or toilet without any wait at all. The only minor issue was the mattress was very firm, perhaps not to everyones preference. This is not somewhere to go for a party but it's a lovely place to stay in the bustle of Bangkok
