Small B&B in a neighborhood in Bangkok but staff does goes above and beyond. Super clean, friendly staff, good set breakfast, and staff willing to do anything they can to help you. Only minor issue is you can hear everything from the streets in the bedroom.

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!

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.

Spotless and awesome staff
I would highly recommend Focal Local to anyone who is looking for a real Thai experience. This is a family run business and they make sure to please and support you in every possible way. Breakfast is awesome, the rooms are very big, comfortable and spotless. They even offer a free tuk tuk to take us to the pier or to the skytrain station.
I stayed with them twice and will definitely stay there again when in Bkk again!

I can't say enough good things about this place. It was exactly what I was hoping it would be! Amazing location close enough to everything to be convenient, but in a sweet neighborhood. There's an amazing vegan restaurant within walking distance which was a big plus. I loved the free tuk-tuk service to the station or pier. And the hotel had a really helpful map and suggestions of things close by. The room was quite large and had everything I could have wanted. And the people were the sweetest! I wish I'd found this place my first trip to Bangkok! I will come back again and again. One of Bangkok's best kept secrets!

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.

We were comfortable here. You can choose between Thai and American style breakfast. They were very attentive to our clothes washing and room cleaning service. There is also a shuttle service to the nearest train station, which is extremely helpful. Most importantly, the staff was warm and involved. The male staff members were always smiling and involved. We loved him. We were comfortable and happy. Thank you very much！

Bed and breakfast worth 5 stars
Our first trip to Asia, and this was our first place to sleep. The breakfast was superb! Eat the thai breakfast, not the western. It tastes so good. We were welcomed by the friendliest staff. They took great care of us. It felt like we were on a 5 star hotel. Never been to one, but we loved it. It was outside the main things in Bangkok, but it is just a little tuk tuk ride away. And then we got the pleasure to eat very good food for a very good price, and everyone is nice and welcoming in the area. We will come back next time we are in Bangkok!

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.

A great place to stay!
The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was large and the shower water pressure was strong. The Thai breakfast was delicious and varied. The location was convenient as it was nearby many restaurants and massage parlours, and the complimentary TukTuk rides to the nearby train station/pier was a nice bonus. Street noise can be heard from the room like other reviews stated, but it wasn’t bothersome to me. I do wish there was a way to heat up food on the property, but I also didn’t ask the staff about it on time.
The staff really elevated the experience as they were all friendly and ready to assist with a smile on their face. They were quick to accommodate another guest’s dietary preferences by substituting ingredients for their Thai breakfast, and they even offered to prepare a packed meal when they heard that the same guest would be leaving early in the morning. They also left a basket outside my room filled with extra water bottles, toilet paper, and coffee/tea when I placed the Do Not Disturb sign on the door.
If I ever get the chance to visit Bangkok again, I would love to stay here a second time!
