Bordering the tranquil waters of the Chao Phraya, Iudia on the River is a distinguished hotel whose rooms offer views of the historical ruins of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. Here's a detailed review.

Iudia on the River: a 4-star establishment in the heart of Ayutthaya

Inheritor of a glorious past, Ayutthaya ranks among Thailand's most visited destinations. Who wouldn't appreciate its majestic temple-mountains? Who wouldn't cast an admiring glance at its royal palaces? For your stay in Ayutthaya, Iudia on the River would be delighted to welcome you. Offering 13 spacious rooms adorned with period furniture, it stands just opposite the historical park. We adore the breathtaking view of Wat Phutthaisawan, located on the other side of the river. We indulge in the outdoor pool, after hours of cycling through the historical ruins. The à la carte breakfast, air conditioning, the extreme kindness of the staff, and the meticulously maintained garden make Iudia on the River a flagship of luxury hospitality in Ayutthaya. Highly recommended for a couple's getaway.

Where is the hotel located?

It's in the center of Ayutthaya's historic island, on U-Tong Road, that Iudia welcomes its guests. Its number one asset is the location: Wat Mahathat, Ayutthaya's most important ruin, is 1 km away; the Chao Sam Phraya National Museum is a fifteen-minute walk away. If you're arriving by air, the accommodation is 75 km from Suvarnabhumi International Airport and 47 km from Don Mueang Airport. Taking the train? Ayutthaya station is less than 3 km away. Parking is available for self-driving tourists. Children of all ages are welcome, but pets are not allowed on the property.

Tasteful rooms and suites, blending tradition and modernity

The room decor is warm and intimate. A king-size bed, clean sheets changed every morning, a fully equipped bathroom, with slippers and complimentary toiletries—offering a cozy interior to passing guests. Digital amenities include a cable-connected TV with remote control, a DVD player, a landline phone, and free Wi-Fi.

The view is, it must be said, breathtaking, even though not all rooms offer this advantage. High-end suites overlook the river, while standard or superior-class rooms provide a nice view of the heritage treasures. A favorite feature is the private terrace, where you can enjoy coffee or a light snack!
