The hype
Travelers universally praise the spacious, modern rooms and the helpful staff (Ms. Nan gets frequent shout-outs), but many wish the breakfast had more variety.
Somerset Rama 9 Bangkok
$95-150/ noche
Reserva esto si You want a polished, family-friendly sanctuary with a washing machine that's steps from the chaos of Jodd Fairs night market.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- In-room washer/dryers and kitchenettes in most units
- Walking distance (5 min) to Rama 9 MRT and Central Plaza
- Infinity pool that feels like a private oasis despite the city location
Resumen rápido: A slick, corporate-feeling serviced apartment that delivers exactly what it promises—cleanliness and convenience—without much local soul.
Reseñado por @unpredicatabletravels: I stayed here for a week and it felt just like home. The separate living area was a game-changer for getting work done, and I loved having a kitchen to make quick breakfasts. The pool area is stunning and super relaxing. Definitely my top pick for a longer stay in Bangkok.
Lo que dijeron los huéspedes que se hospedaron aquí
Reality check
The 'rooftop' pool is actually on a podium level (8th floor) and can feel a bit crowded and chilly due to lack of direct sun.
- You are traveling with kids and need a kitchen/laundry
- You want to be near the MRT but not in the intense Sukhumvit tourist crush
- You appreciate a 7-Eleven located directly in the building lobby

Preguntas frecuentes y consejos ocultos
Todo lo que realmente quieres saber antes de reservar.
Is breakfast worth paying extra for?
It's decent (~400 THB) but repetitive. With a 7-Eleven downstairs and Central Rama 9 food court 5 minutes away, you might be happier skipping it.
Is the pool actually on the roof?
No, it's an infinity pool on the 8th-floor podium. It has great views but isn't on the very top of the 36-story tower.
How far is the MRT?
Phra Ram 9 MRT station is a 5-minute walk (approx. 450m). It's an easy, flat walk.
Can I cook in the room?
Yes, Executive and Premier rooms have fully equipped kitchenettes with microwaves, induction hobs, and basic cookware.
Is it guest-friendly?
Generally yes, but guests must leave ID at the front desk. Policies can tighten, so check if you plan on frequent visitors.
Do they require a deposit?
Yes, usually a pre-authorization on your credit card for the room rate plus incidentals.
Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
Durian is often half-price after 8 PM at the stalls near the Huai Khwang market nearby.
- ✨
The hotel offers a free shuttle tuk-tuk to the MRT, though it's a short walk anyway.
- ✨
Use the pedestrian bridge to cross Rama 9 road safely; the traffic is lethal.
5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The elevators can be slow during morning rush hour (8:30-9:30 AM).
💡The 'Japanese Garden' is more of a small landscaped smoking area than a place to hike.
💡You can hear the bass from Jodd Fairs concerts if you are on a low floor (below 10) on that side.
💡The in-room washing machines are combo washer-dryers that take 3+ hours to dry clothes fully.
💡There is a hidden 'peephole' issue in some doors mentioned in reviews, though management fixes it promptly upon report.
