What guests think

Across recent reviews of Shanti Lodge Bangkok, travelers highlight a friendly, family-run vibe, a well-liked on-site restaurant and bar, and good value, while noting small rooms with thin walls and occasional mismatches between room descriptions and reality.

Most guests find the staff warm and helpful. The location suits travelers seeking a quieter Thai neighborhood near Thewet pier and markets, with easy access to major sights by boat or bus. Cleanliness is generally solid, with one isolated bedbug report, and some note firm beds and simple furnishings. Expect a characterful, budget-friendly stay with trade-offs in comfort and privacy.

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.

If you’re the adventurous type and want the vib of a backpacker hotel in an area where real Thai people live…. Not a hyped up entertainment district filled with foreigners…. Then this is a great choice. It’s a 5 minute walk from the Thewet boat landing, so access is easy. There’s a real Thai covered market on the way, a Wat just 1:2 block away, and best of all the restaurant was lovely for every meal we had…. From fruit and muesli bowls, omelette s, pizza, Thai dinner dishes, smoothies…. Everything! AC and a fan is a must for a room which we had. Staff was friendly. This place deserves to be full all the time, just for its overall character. Just try it for a couple of nights!

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.

The room vas not as described on the booking cite. On hotels.com it was described as being 150 sqm, the entire top floor. The reality was a bedroom with a small terrace of maybe 20 sgm. The services described such as massage and cooking classes did not exist. The room also had bedbuggs and I am covered in bites. I genuinely feel scammed.

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 !

Rooms are often small and basic, and thin partition walls make noise travel; some guests also found the beds firm. Larger family rooms receive praise for comfort.

Réservé une chambre de 20 m2 et me suis retrouvé avec une chambre de 10m2 maxi sanitaire compris pour le même prix. Pas de table ou de support pour les sacs ou autre, un vrai cagibi. Aucune insonorisation, on pouvait discuter avec le voisin sans hausser le ton ( veridique). Bef, je deconseille fortement et je me demande d'où sortent toutes les notes de 5 sur 5 pour cet etablissement...

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.
