The Bedrooms Maeklong Hotel — a modern-room hotel in Maeklong town at an affordable price, near Rom Hoop Market
If you want a Samut Songkhram stay based in Maeklong town, a few minutes' drive from the Railway Market or the floating markets, without paying a lot, The Bedrooms Maeklong Hotel is a name travellers around Maeklong often compare · It is a 3-star hotel and serviced apartment of 58 rooms in Bang Kaeo, in the town of Samut Songkhram · What guests mention most is clean modern-style rooms with balconies, friendly staff, and good value · Standard rooms start from about THB 900/night, rising at weekends.
Most stays in Samut Songkhram are canalside shophouses around Amphawa, which have great atmosphere but often small rooms and weekend prices that climb fast · The Bedrooms Maeklong Hotel sets itself up as a modern-room hotel in Maeklong town, in Bang Kaeo, suited to people who want a clean room, cool air-conditioning, easy parking and a base to drive out to sights around the province · It is a newer 58-room building with a clean, contemporary design that puts comfort and value first rather than selling a riverside view.
What guests mention most is the clean, new-looking modern-style rooms · Each room has a balcony, a work desk, a dining table, a flat-screen smart TV, a refrigerator, a kettle, and a private bathroom with hot water · Many reviews praise the rooms as larger than expected for the price, with well-chosen furnishings, and the staff as friendly and helpful · The hotel has a lift, a gym, a games room, a lobby bar and a small café on site — enough for a hotel at this price.
"Clean, modern-style rooms that look new, lovely helpful staff, and easy parking · At this price it's great value for a stay in Maeklong town, and Rom Hoop Market is just a short drive away."
There are three main room types — a Deluxe Double (double bed, around 25 m²), a Deluxe Twin (two single beds, around 25 m²), and a Family Room (around 45 m²) for larger groups · Every room shares the same kit: air-conditioning, a fridge, a smart TV, a kettle and a balcony · One thing to know from reviews is that the beds are on the firm side for some guests, and some balconies have an air-conditioning compressor unit on them, making them hot and a little noisy · If you like a soft mattress, you can ask for extra pillows or a topper.
On location, the hotel is in Maeklong town, about 8–12 minutes' drive from Maeklong Railway Market and the floating market, and around 15–20 minutes to Amphawa Floating Market · There are restaurants and convenience stores nearby · The upside is that it is a base you can drive out from in every direction — Don Hoi Lot, Wat Bang Kung, and the various floating markets · The trade-off is that you cannot walk to as much as you could from a canalside Amphawa stay, so having your own car is the most convenient, and the building's sound insulation is thin, so road-facing rooms may catch some traffic noise.
Honestly, in the words of real reviews, The Bedrooms Maeklong suits people driving themselves who want a clean modern room in town at a budget price more than those after a riverside wooden-house feel · Its clear strengths are the new-looking rooms, the value, the easy parking, and a location you can drive out from in every direction · The things to accept are firm beds, thin sound insulation, and no riverside view · Real reviews are fairly strong — a 5-star Tripadvisor rating with a Travelers' Choice award placing it among the top in the province, and around 7.4 on Booking.com · Averaging out to roughly 8.0 out of 10, it is a hotel that does its job well at a price you can reach.
A tip from following the reviews here: ask for a room away from the main road, and check the balcony has no air-conditioning compressor on it, so you get a quieter room and a balcony you can actually sit on · If you are going to Rom Hoop Market, check the train timetable first, because the highlight is the moment the awnings fold back as the train passes · And if you are travelling as a group, the 45 m² Family Room is better value than booking two separate rooms.
