My sister and i spent 4 night's here in May and loved it, Karen and staff we always smiling and happy. The breakfast they provided us with was delicious and on the days we were out early they made a packed lunch for us. We had the siamese room and thought it would be noisey because you are right over... More

We stayed here for 2 nights in April 2013 in the Living Nature room. The room was clean, comfortable and had a relaxing/peaceful vibe. The A/C worked great, which was a nice relief from the Bangkok heat. Karan made us feel so welcome - he was extremely friendly and helpful with his recommendations. The free tuktuk ride every morning was... More

Focal local is our first and last hotel upon the start of our SEA tour. This is a small place but never fails to give us a homey feeling. everyone seems to be very friendly and offers assistance especially with translating. I just love how they create the unique features in each rooms. Our room is very clean.

Lovely, kind people here. Beautiful room and swish bathroom. Only in Bangkok for one night but would definitely return to Focal Local. Very helpful with directions. Didn't use it but they offer free transport to sky train.

I stayed here in the summer of 2012 with my girlfriend and I must say that the place exceeded my expectations, the hotel is small and well kept, the food was very good and freshly cooked every day, the rooms were clean and the stuff friendly, and I must say that it was also cheap to stay here.

We chose to stay at Focal Local based on the reviews we saw on trip advisor and were so pleased that we did. The map and instructions provided to get us to the B&B from the airport were excellent and we arrived at a time in the evening that made for a very fast journey indeed - I can't quite... More

The hotel is very small, but clean and lovely. They draw some very funny and interesting pictures in the room, ;-) you'll see if you are there. The surrounding is really local Bangkok, you'll find local food and market nearby. The crew is very friendly, you'll be good friend with the keeper Karan, he will patiently tell you where to... More

Our host opened the door for us after midnight on our late arrival from Chiang Rai. This B and B appealed because of the homelike feel and the friendliness of the staff. Located in the suburbs but close to the river there was a feeling of being in the "real" Bangkok. The rooms are clean and well serviced but are... More
