The upscale 186-room Royal President Bangkok sits on a side street off Sukhumvit Road, a major artery that's home to many bars, restaurants, and shops, and is within a 15-minute walk of two Skytrain stations; the hotel offers free tuk-tuk service to these stations, Sukhumvit Road, and the Terminal 21 Shopping Mall). The hotel has a fitness center with cardio and weight-training equipment, a business center with a meeting room, a pool and whirlpool, and a restaurant. Standard Rooms include large safes, minibars, coffeemakers, flat-screen TVs, separate bathtub and showers, and free Wi-Fi. Deluxe and Superior Rooms have kitchenettes with full refrigerators and microwaves. Rates are reasonable for this central location, but the property lacks nice views and a bar.
Scene
Located on a side street off busy Sukhumvit Road, the hotel has a quiet vibe.
Although located in the bustling heart of Bangkok off Sukhumvit Road, the Royal President Bangkok feels like an oasis. Some of the guests are long-term (several rooms have kitchenettes, and some have washer/dryers), which keeps the ambience pretty low-key and chill, and facilities, such as the outdoor pool and the fitness center, do not get overcrowded -- despite being small. Other than at breakfast, the Royal Brasserie restaurant does not get too busy, as most guests choose to eat out on Sukhumvit Road.
Location
Down a quiet side street off busy Sukhumvit Road, which offers many dining, drinking, and shopping options
The Royal President Bangkok has a convenient -- but quiet and calm -- location, down a side street that's about a 10-minute walk to traffic-clogged Sukhumvit Road. While Sukhumvit is packed with restaurants, bars, shopping malls, and plenty of traffic, the Royal President, located on leafy Soi 15, escapes this chaotic bustle. It's within a 15-minute walk of Nana BTS Skytrain and Asok BTS Skytrain, and the hotel provides free tuk-tuk service to these stations, Sukhumvit Road, and the Terminal 21 Shopping Mall.
