Some popular attractions require significant driving
A short walk or tuk-tuk ride to the Skytrain
and metro, the Baan K Residence by Bliston has 28 studio and one-bedroom
apartments that are best suited to long-term travelers. Along with fully stocked kitchens, all rooms come with huge entertainment
systems and free Wi-Fi. A small coffee shop and gym are also on-site, and while
the area is relatively secure, guests should note that the reception desk is not open 24 hours a day. Still, for the price, these modern, self-catering units are a terrific value, even in Bangkok, where many hotels offer competitive rates.
Scene
This contemporary apartment hotel is popular among business travelers.
The apartments in the Baan K Residence are
spread over six floors in a relatively modern structure with a covered parking
area on the ground floor. A flight of stairs leads through a semi-enclosed
covered patio area and up to a small, contemporary lobby with polished
white-marble floors and a matching reception desk. Elevators and mailboxes are off to one side. Although the property is suitable for tourists
looking for apartment-style lodging in the heart of Bangkok, most guests here
are long-term business travelers.
Location
Surrounded by office buildings and near the MRT; popular attractions are accessible by car
The Baan K Residence is located on a quiet
lane off the busy Sathon-Rama IV intersection in a neighborhood surrounded by
low-rise office buildings. There's a 7-Eleven right by the hotel and the MRT
(rapid transit system) is a five-minute walk away, while getting to the Skytrain
takes around 10 minutes by foot. The Jim Thompson House, a famed
museum featuring traditional Thai architecture, is a 15-minute drive from the hotel and the
hustle and bustle of Khao San Road can be reached in less than half an hour.
The temples of Wat Pho, Wat Phra Kaew, and Wat Arun take around
30 minutes to reach by car. Suvarnabhumi
Airport is a half-hour drive east, barring traffic.
Rooms
Apartment-style rooms with fully furnished kitchens and home entertainment systems
The property offers 28 serviced apartments
in Studio, One Bedroom Superior Suite, and One Bedroom Executive Suite configurations. Decor
is simple and modern with light wood floors, plain furniture, and white kitchens
with microwaves, kettles, and small sinks built into melamine counter tops.
Crockery, cutlery, dishes, and dish soap are provided as well. All rooms
have safes, modern entertainment systems, 40-inch flat-screen TVs, and free
Wi-Fi. Executive Suites are enormous and offer park views, dining tables,
balconies, and walk-in closets. Neutral-tone bathrooms with shower stalls and toiletries are simple as well.
Features
On-site gym, cozy cafe, and tuk-tuk shuttle to public transportation
Amenities
here are generally limited, though guests still get a few additional perks. The
Baan K has a small gym with a few cardio machines and free
weights. Wild Honey, the on-site coffee shop, has a jungle theme, with lots
of leafy potted plants along with white tables with bright purple accent cushions. A tuk-tuk shuttle
ferries passengers between the local metro and Skytrain stations throughout the
day.
