About Old Capital Bike Inn

The Old Capital Bike Inn is a charming boutique hotel in Bangkok's Old City – a century-old teak and brick shop on Phra Sumen Road, converted into a ten-room guesthouse. Antiques, stained-glass windows, and lush greenery create an inviting atmosphere. Free bicycles are available for exploring the surrounding royal district (the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and the restaurant streets of Khao San Road are all easily accessible by bike). The rooms are cozy and atmospheric, breakfast is freshly prepared in the leafy courtyard, and the whole place exudes a warmth that larger hotels can't match. For those seeking an affordable boutique hotel with a special flair and within walking distance of Bangkok's main attractions, it's hard to beat.

    Tips for visiting hotels and resorts

    Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.

    After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.

    Location is more important than the stars

    A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
