Adelphi Forty-Nine - Hotel in Bangkok

[sitta]

Looking for Hotel in BKK, came across  Adelphi Forty-Nine located on Sukhumvit Soi 49, good location, just to experience Bangkok in a week?

Thanks.

It depends.

 

If you don't mind walking a bit then it's OK if the room rate is amazing.

 

If there is not much in it price wise I would go for somewhere a bit more convenient.

 

Soi 49 is about halfway between BTS Thong Lo and BTS Ekkamai. It's going to be a 10 minute walk to get to the BTS station. Soi 49 has no formal sidewalk and it's not brightly lit at night, but it's a very safe neighbourhood.

 

There is a small 7-Eleven at the start of the soi, but other than that you do need to plan ahead a bit as there not much on the soi for tourists.

 

If you have a particular area you are interested in exploring you would be better staying closer to that area rather than further away even if the cost is slightly more. If you are thinking of using taxis/uber be aware that at rush hour the Soi 49 section of Sukhumvit Road can get extremely congested and it is quite possible to spend an hour and only move 200 meters or less.

Stayed there 2 years ago, lovely large suites and quiet soi, no filthy nightlife close by.

I'm sorry but I have not stayed in this hotel as a guest so I do not have any personal experience. I know the area well however.

Maybe also consider adelpi suites on soi 8...only bit more but way better location in my opinion.  Soi 49 can be a bit of a pain re BTS etc while soi 8 is right next to nana bts as well as walking distance to all sorts of bars/restaurants etc etc but soi 8 is pretty quite civilized soi

fyi if you come out of hotel and turn right and walk all the way to far end of soi 8 away from nana bts there is a church there which has a small gate that is usually open and you can walk through there and right onto soi 10 which in few feet opens up into queen sirikit and tobacco monopoly parks with great walking and biking trails....wonderful spot to get exercise if u want

Agree with Adelphi Suites on Soi 8, great location with the bonus of an excellent buffet breakfast.

probably best place in bangkok for nice walk.....it is a huge park and the newer portion has lots and lots of shade trees, flowers etc...at the end of soi 8 it looks like you can't get through but look closely to your left at the church and you will see the small gate and you're a couple of minutes away from the park...take a look at he park from google satellite view

 

also notice from your hotel towards nana bts there is a small alley that goes off to your left past famous lollipops...walk by there and you will see a shortcut that opens onto soi 6 and goes over to soi 4 near nana plaza if you want..

 

go escalator up to nana bts and you can cut across the station and end up very close to soi 11 soi 7 and soi 5....all full of bars restaurants shops.... foodland grocery store and food counter (soi 5) is good place to stock up and food counter is 24/7 , cheap and good food...soi 8 is a great location
