The hype

Ramada By Wyndham Bangkok Sukhumvit 87
$55-95/ night
Book this if You want a spacious, loft-style apartment with a washing machine near the BTS, and don't mind being a bit outside the central tourist chaos.
Why People Love It
- Duplex rooms feel like a private condo, not a hotel box
- In-room washing machines are a lifesaver for long trips
- Gravity 87 rooftop bar offers stunning skyline views without the pretension
Quick Take: A solid 'home-base' hotel with cool loft rooms, but the ground-floor pool feels like you're swimming in traffic.
Reviewed by @littlewanderingwren: I booked the Duplex Suite here and it felt way more like a luxury apartment than a standard hotel. The in-room laundry was a total lifesaver for my week in Bangkok, and hopping on the BTS right outside made getting around so easy. Definitely grab a drink on the rooftop!

5 things to know before you go
๐กThe 'Automated Parking' system is a robotic stacker โ cool, but can be slow during rush hour.
๐กThe duplex layout means the bathroom is downstairs, so you have to navigate steep stairs in the dark to pee at night.
๐กThe washing machine spin cycle sounds like a jet taking off; your neighbors will hate you if you run it at 2 AM.
๐กYou are right next to a 'Wells International School', so expect some school-run traffic in the mornings.
๐กThe lobby scent is sometimes overpowered by the exhaust fumes from Sukhumvit Road due to the open-air design near the pool.
