Great little hidden gem
Excellent stay at Focal Local. The staff was very friendly and helpful with suggestions. Good location in a quiet neighborhood but close to the major tourist sites. Easy to get a taxi. Great breakfast served every morning. It’s a little slice of tranquility in a very chaotic city!

Nostagic Bed and Breakfast with history
Focal Local is located in an authentic old Bangkok 'alley/street' and has been refurbished with 'antique' style and reverence to historic modes of decoration. The walls to the patios are painted in vivacious Thai-colours that radiate light. Breakfast, (western or thai), is ample, well presented and delicious. The omelette chef is wonderful! An additional delight is the Grandmother's house, open at weekends. For anyone who loves vintage and nostalgia, one can step in to 1930s style, sit down, and savour an assortment of teas, and thai cakes. I was prepared a splendid display, with special touches, that eshewed elegance and taste. There are savoury options too. The ambience is a treat. You are living in those moments, 1930s style. Do go. Finally, to mention, that, the family offer you a complementary 5 minute ride in a tuk tuk to arrive at the BTS station in the morning when you step out to explore. From there you have access to the entire BTS network, and the free river crossing from Icon Siam to Saphan Thaksin. The latter is the Oriental hotel side of the Chao Praya river. I feel that the only location to stay is in old Bangkok, as each year I go, I see something devoured by a glitzy skyscraper, meticulously constructed to appear as though it could fall down. By the river, you see the canals and you see lives still lived alongside water. Your whole experience is nourishment. Indeed an education! Go stay at Focal Local and experience 'the real' with Karan and his family.

I have confess I was forced to give 5 stars because I had no other option. This B&B deserves more than 5 stars!!! By far the best I’ve ever stayed. Fantastic room, above par service, amazing breakfast, extremely reasonable. Friendliest staff. Definitely will return.

A Great Stay
We thoroughly enjoyed this Thai hotel. It is a bit out of the way, so is relatively quite. It is very clean and the breakfast was delicious and the service great. The manager at the hotel is the best. He is there to help you with anything you need. Truly a great experience. It is easy to get a tuk tuk or other transportation when you need it.

Very nice stay
Nice and clean small hotel, with very helpful staff. From arranging transportation, to laundry, to other useful information and tips, they were always available to immediately help. Reception closes at 7pm, but they stay next door, so it's easy to reach them later in the evening as well. The Thai breakfast offered was delicious and different each of the four days I stayed. Not sure about the other (Western) breakfast, as I was interested in the Thai one while in Thailand.

10/10 Exceptional

This was my favorite place to stay during my three weeks in Thailand. It's location was perfect, only 1.5 km from the BTS and a few km from the river transportation. There was coffee shops, bars, malls and local food stalls and stores all within a few kilometers walk. We never had to pay for a taxi, we took the BTS, MTR and river boats the whole time all over the city. This was the only place that provided a local map which was so helpful. It was in the middle of a residential area so there no tourists which was what my husband and I were looking for. The staff were so very helpful and accommodating. The room was very clean and the ac was such a nice break from the heat. Although you were smack in the middle of the city the beautiful natural materials and designs of the building and the garden area made for a relaxing environment. They were only place we stayed at the offered a thai breakfast option, which we took appreciatively so enhance our experience of the culture. They were also accommodating for my vegetarian diet (thank you!). We will definitely be staying here again when we come back.

The perfect luxurious gem in REAL Bangkok!
Just have to add to all the other glowing reviews: Focal Local is the epitome of "hidden gem!" This is the REAL Bangkok and it was exactly what we wanted to experience. It is tucked away in a local residential neighborhood across the river, but has easy access to the BTS train & the river boat pier, as well as tons of tasty food options up and down the main street. They have custom brochures outlining all of the wonderful local night/morning markets and food stalls you should visit, which was great since that is the kind of thing you really can't know as a tourist. They truly want to introduce you to the neighborhood! The staff was incredibly kind, attentive, and happy to help us with any needs. We throughly enjoyed our delicious homemade Thai breakfast each morning in the beautiful open air, teak wood dinning room. I had a migraine one morning and they brought breakfast to the room for me. So kind! We also were able to get laundry done and it was quick (sent it out in the afternoon and it was back early the next morning). Everything came back perfect. Wifi worked well. We stayed in the Siamese room and it was beautiful: well appointed, simple & chic, with all the comforts including a wardrobe. The bathroom and shower were luxurious and extremely spacious. The bed was beyond comfortable, with multiple soft pillows and sheets. We knew other guests were there, but everything was quiet. We got take out one night and ate on the wrap around porch by candle light. Heavenly!
