Shanti Lodge Bangkok

A lovely guest house surrounded by plants to make you feel that you are somewhere more tropical than city. Great location for the boats that can take you closer to the city. Lovely food served, a bit pricey compared to street food obviously. It's got a lovely atmosphere.

Beautiful property! The greenery made it cozy and the rooms are small but we didn’t care at all. Beds and pillows were comfy and clean. There was free waters and also a restaurant/bar downstairs with a big variety of tasty foods. Theres two toilets and two showers but waiting was never an issue. My girlfriend and I went and would definitely book again!

Beautiful stay , felt very local experienced . Food was good , near local restaurants and bars .

I loved staying here I extended my stay by another day. The family who operated the space is very welcoming and wholesome. The room was clean, everything in order. Would come back and stay again.

The reviews are accurate, but in hindsight, i would have preferred to stay in a less remote location. From this site, I thought i had a private bathroom, but it was a shared bath on a different floor a decent walk away. The room was small and sparten with no place to put your luggage, but it was immaculately clean. The hotel is charming, but i didn't like that the only place to hang out was the restuarant and you could not bring outside food or drink there or to your room. Overall, it wasn't a social enough scene for a solo traveler (inside the hotel or out) and I could have found a place with a private bathroom at the same price.

Nice bar and restaurant, our room was small, but then it was described as a 'cosy double'. The bathroom is not fully separated from the room (the wall is about 6ft high with a 2 ft gap at the top) so only share with someone you are happy 'sharing' with 😉. Lovely staff and great for the price.

Clean rooms. Good place. Good vibe

Wonderful room and great service

Good place for price

The hosts at Shanti lodge made me feel welcome in their lovely property. The rooms are small but if all you need is a bed, great food, and a cute bar/cafe/hangout, this is the pick. Its just close enough to the hustle and bustle of the city to help you settle in, but its also far enough away from the crowded areas that you can take a breath from the noise.

little but out of the party area which i prefer. felt really cozy, very cool vibe and aesthetic. not posh. cute cat and really friendly staff.

Been staying here since 2000 and it's the best value, best people and best vegan food in Thailand. You can't beat the price, location or happy vibes of the place. The owners name is Happy by the way. No pun intended.

It is a very cute hotel, that makes you feel in a small business and immersed in the culture. However, my booking mentioned a Private bathroom, and the staff insisted that the picture on the advert was of the shared one. I kept insisting and after a few members of staff got involved I was changed to a room with private bathroom. The room itself is cute, but the walls are not proper walls but room dividers, making all conversations and noises between rooms heard in the room that it shares the wall with.

Good service 👍

Relaxed space, lots of plants and trees.Staff very helpful & friendly. Several generations of family running the place … children friendly! The walls to the bedrooms are thin… with patience it all works out…

Overall excellent stay for the price. Only complaint was the bed and pillows were rock hard. After the second night, my neck was sore. We stayed a total of 3 nights.

Very helpful staff, there are trees along the front of lodge & plants… Pleasant place & good vibes!

I stayed a number of times at Shanti Lodge Bangkok in the 1990s as a solo traveler. (Big shout out to Yuan and staff from that time.) I liked the setting in Thai neighborhood, the personable vibe of the staff, and the proximity to the Thewet station on the river and the proximity to buses to historic Bangkok. I returned this time with my wife and two adolescent boys. We stayed in a 'Fabulous Family Room'. I was concerned that they would be disappointed by the Thai-ness of Shanti (e.g., it's less of a western hotel and more of a multi-room Thai house with shoes taken off at the entrance), but in fact they loved the place (especially it's cleanliness) and requested that we return there for any future visits to Bangkok. The proximity to the river continues to be great, and the neighborhood has a lot to enjoy without being far away from bigger tourist areas such as Banglamphu and Chatuchak. Keep up the good work, Shanti !

I like the only one exclusive family style run of the property was very very good it was very comfortable very convenient of what they offer I would definitely consider staying again

Family run, excellent food, beautiful teak and bamboo, this is the original old world hippie haunt.
