โI would love a Sapphire Premium room on a higher floor (6-8) for the best available natural light. Quiet is my priority.โ
FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is the pool big enough for laps?
No. It is a small, stylish rooftop plunge pool designed for cooling off and drinking cocktails, not exercise.
Is it noisy at night?
Surprisingly, no. Soi 53 is a residential 'leafy' street, unlike the chaotic Soi 55 (Thong Lo) just one block over.
How is the breakfast?
Quality over quantity. The buffet is small (pastries, fruits, cold cuts), but the unlimited a la carte menu (Coconut French Toast, Khao Tom Goong) is excellent.
Can I walk to the BTS Skytrain?
Yes, it's an easy 3-5 minute walk to Thong Lo BTS. The sidewalk is actually decent for Bangkok standards.
Are there smoking rooms?
No, the entire hotel is non-smoking. There is a designated area outside.
Does the hotel have a lounge?
No dedicated lounge, but Elites get evening cocktails and snacks served at the EKKALUCK bar or pool.

The 'chalew' bamboo icon on your door isn't just decor; it's a traditional Thai symbol of luck and protection.
