The hype
Travelers love the spacious, functional rooms and location but feel cheated by the restricted amenity access.
Wyndham Garden Bangkok Sukhumvit 42
$75-110 / nótt
Pantaðu þetta ef You want a Japanese-style serviced apartment with a washing machine and a killer Ekkamai location, but you don't care about the rooftop pool.
Af hverju fólk elskar þetta
- In-room washer/dryers and kitchenettes are a traveler's dream
- High-tech TOTO washlets in every bathroom
- 5-minute walk to Ekkamai BTS and Gateway Mall
Stutt samantekt: A solid, modern base for exploring Bangkok, provided you don't mind being treated like a second-class citizen when it comes to pool access.
Farið yfir af @littlewanderingwren: I checked into this duplex and honestly, the two-floor layout changes everything. The view of the Skytrain from the balcony is mesmerizing, and having a separate upstairs bedroom made me feel like a local resident. It’s the perfect setup if you need space to breathe in Bangkok.

Hreinlæti og viðhald
7
- Housekeeping: Daily and generally good, though some reports of missed dust in duplex corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Visually clean, but the recurring 'sewer smell' complaint suggests plumbing venting issues.
- Maintenance: Modern build (2021) but showing early signs of wear like peeling wallpaper in hallways.
- Linens & towels: Fresh and crisp. No major complaints about bedding quality.
- Odors & scents: The lobby smells fine, but the 29th floor and some hallways have a distinct mildew/sewage funk.

“I would appreciate a room on a high floor (above 15) to avoid street noise. Please ensure the room is NOT on the 29th floor due to odor sensitivity. If possible, a unit with an unblocked view would be wonderful.”
Algengar spurningar og falin ábendingar
Allt sem þú vilt vita áður en þú bókar.
Can hotel guests use the rooftop pool?
Likely no. Hotel guests are usually restricted to the 7th-floor pool, while the 31st-floor pool is for residents. Ask at check-in, but manage your expectations.
Is breakfast worth it?
It's decent but basic (approx. 350 THB). You're better off walking to Gateway Ekkamai or a local cafe for better food at a lower price.
Is it close to the BTS?
Yes, Ekkamai BTS station is a 5-6 minute walk (approx. 300m).
Are the rooms quiet?
mostly yes. Soi 42 is busy but the hotel is set back enough. High floors are very quiet.
Does the room have a kitchen?
Yes, most rooms have a kitchenette with a microwave, fridge, and sink. Great for reheating street food.
Is it pet friendly?
No, pets are strictly not allowed.
Innherja ábendingar
- ✨
The 'residents' elevator sometimes works for guests if you want to sneak a peek at the 31st floor view (do so at your own risk).
- ✨
There is a back shortcut to Gateway Ekkamai through the parking garage if you want to avoid the heat.
- ✨
The Japanese toilets have heated seats—a rare luxury at this price point.
5 hlutir sem þú ættir að vita áður en þú ferð
💡The 'Gym' on the 7th floor is tiny; the real gym is on the 31st floor and might be off-limits.
💡The air conditioning units can be aggressive; you might freeze even on the lowest setting.
💡The lobby cafe 'Cafe'in Premium' actually serves excellent Thai tea.
💡You have to pay a deposit in CASH; they are weird about credit card holds.
💡The duplex stairs are steep—not great for anyone with bad knees or too much luggage.
