The 95 rooms at this medium-size, simple hotel are large for the price, and modest but contemporary. The proximity of the Terminal 21 shopping mall means easy access to plenty of food options, and the Asoke BTS station is a 10-minute walk provides transportation to popular tourist neighborhoods like Siam and Silom, as well as the airport (approximately one hour with a transfer). A 24-hour restaurant helps provide drinks service to the rooftop pool, and there is a modest 24-hour fitness center on the property. The hotel sits on a large busy road within the lively neighborhood of Sukhumvit, which is full of restaurants and nightlife, though the hotel itself sits slightly back from the road, so doesn't generally suffer from noise problems.
Scene
Plain, no-frills concrete building of about a dozen stories with simple lobby
Business travelers and families alike stay in this simple hotel set on a busy main road, which has a small, bright lobby furnished with floor-to-ceiling windows, a few semicircular armchairs, and little else apart from the reception desk and a computer area for guest use. One flight up from the entrance is the modest restaurant. Many guests are couples in town for leisure, though the hotel draws business travelers and families as well.
Location
On a busy road across from Asoke BTS station and near a shopping mall
Five minutes away on foot sits the BTS station at Asoke, which gives access to the hopping nightlife areas of Silom and Siam. The hotel is on a very, very busy road (Ratchada-Asok) which is pretty much in gridlock all day and night. However there is a lovely large park here just next to the hotel, and it is just a short stroll to the sky train and metro stations. The location here is very convenient as the hotel is just a five-minute walk to the BTS Skytrain system and the MRT subway station as well, providing easy and fast access to much of Bangkok.
Rooms
Wood floors, stocked minibars, reading lights, seating areas in all rooms
These handsome rooms are accented throughout with engineered or laminate wood of various hues, from the bed frames to the floors to the built-in cabinetry. The effect is simple but appealing, and other materials, including the white faux leather of the ergnomic chair at the white resin built-in desk create an overall modern impression. Glass partitions divide the bathrooms from the sleeping areas, and the walk-in showers feature brushed chrome rain showerheads. Deluxe Rooms have a large tub in addition to the stall shower, and a sectional couch. Each room has AC, a 32-inch LCD TV equipped to connect to laptops, international outlets, a safe, an iron and board, a hairdryer, a mini-fridge stocked with drinks and snacks, a contoured armchair, and bedside reading lights.
Features
Rooftop pool, fitness center, computer area, and a 24-hour restaurant
