Chaisaeng Palace — Big Riverside Rooms in Central Sing Buri That Road-Trippers Keep Coming Back To
If you want a town-centre base in Sing Buri with genuinely large rooms, a fair price, and everything walkable, Chaisaeng Palace Hotel is the name drivers on Route 32 mention most. The building sits right on the Chao Phraya River along Vilaichit Road, in the middle of town. The one thing guests say again and again is that the rooms are bigger than you'd expect at this price — marble floors, a strong-pressure shower, and an included breakfast buffet with both Thai and Western options. One honest heads-up before you book: there's live music in the evenings, and the sound can carry up to nearby rooms.
Chaisaeng Palace is a long-standing Sing Buri hotel sitting on the bank of the Chao Phraya River on Vilaichit Road, in the Bang Phutsa sub-district at the centre of town. What brings people back is room size — the Deluxe rooms have marble floors, a large king bed, and a sitting nook with two armchairs by the window, giving them a more open feel than most same-priced provincial hotels. Several reviewers describe opening the door for the first time and being surprised at how much space they got for a low-four-figure baht rate.
The second thing people mention is the included breakfast buffet. It's a small spread but a well-run one — rice porridge, Thai dishes, eggs cooked to order, bread, and fruit. Guests stopping over for a single night on a longer drive often say the breakfast alone is worth more than the room rate. The hotel's own restaurant stays open through the day and is known locally for river fish and fresh seafood, with both air-conditioned seating indoors and a deck right over the water.
"Rooms much larger than expected for the price, marble floors, strong shower, breakfast was good — an easy overnight stop on the way north." — summarised from verified guest reviews on Trip.com
Location is the real edge here. The hotel sits in the middle of town, a walk of under 5 minutes to the Sing Buri City Pillar Shrine, with several old temples like Wat Pho Ngoen and Wat Phra Non Chak Si just a short drive away. It's right on the Chao Phraya, so river-side rooms catch the water view in the morning. For drivers, there's free parking in the building itself — no circling the block looking for a space.
The overall score sits at 8.6/10 from 35 Trip.com reviews, with location (9.1) and cleanliness (8.8) rated highest. Two things draw consistent criticism: first, the walls between rooms are fairly thin, so you can hear neighbours; second, the live music in the evenings, roughly 9 to 11 pm, carries up to rooms on the closer floors. A few reviewers also note the rooms are a little short on power outlets — worth knowing if you want to bring a power strip of your own.
To be straight about it, there is no swimming pool here. If your plan involves letting the kids swim or soaking by a pool, this place can't deliver that. But if you're after a clean place to sleep for a night on the road, or you're in town to visit temples, see the Bang Rachan memorial, and walk the Sing Buri markets, a hotel this size with rooms this large at this price is genuinely hard to find. The best-fit guests are families and couples driving through, and merit-making travellers doing a temple circuit.
The bottom line: Chaisaeng Palace suits travellers who want a large, clean, central room in the low-four-figure baht range more than anyone looking for full resort facilities. Rates start around ฿1,100/night including breakfast. If you want the quietest possible room, request a high-floor river-side room away from the restaurant zone and you'll sleep a good deal better.

- 💡If you're travelling with lots of devices — bring your own power strip, as in-room outlets are limited → charging a phone, laptop and camera at once may not fit
- 💡If the trip is built around kids swimming — there is no pool here → if a pool matters, look at a resort outside town instead, but for a large central room this is better value
