The Eight
Balcony rooms and a romantic restaurant, highly rated by couples
About this hotel
The Eight leans into its restaurant more than most hotels in this town, describing it as modern and romantic and running Thai and European dishes through lunch, dinner and high tea, a real point of difference from the standard Thai-and-Asian combination found elsewhere in Samut Sakhon. Rooms keep things simple with air-conditioning, balconies, private bathrooms, a fridge, work desk and flat-screen TV, and daily housekeeping alongside full-day security and luggage storage cover the practical side of a short stay. Couples booking through major platforms have rated the location well above average for two-person trips, a real signal given how few properties in this town earn that specific praise. Bangkok's Wat Arun sits around 38 kilometres away and the Grand Palace about 39, both a genuine excursion rather than an easy add-on.

Our take
This suits couples wanting a quiet, romantic-leaning stay without resort pricing, particularly for a first or last night of a Thailand trip near Bangkok. The restaurant's evening atmosphere is the clearest strength here. Families wanting a pool or dedicated kids' facilities should look toward Phetara or Grand Inter instead, since this property's case rests squarely on the couples' angle.
- Reserve a dinner table a day ahead if you want the evening seating in the romantic restaurant setting
- Request a balcony room specifically, since it is the property's clearest outdoor-space option for couples
- Budget a half-day for the Wat Arun or Grand Palace trip rather than treating it as a quick side visit
Why we love it
- Restaurant built around a romantic atmosphere
- Balcony rooms with private outdoor space
- Notably high couples' location ratings
- Full-day security and luggage storage
Why guests love itI would choose The Eight for a couples’ stay in Samut Sakhon rather than a family one. It is a three-star hotel with air-conditioned balcony rooms, private bathrooms, free private parking and a romantic restaurant serving Thai and European dishes through high tea. Couples rate the location notably highly. I would reserve a dinner table a day ahead, request a balcony room, and set aside half a day for Wat Arun and the Grand Palace in Bangkok.
