Legacy Suites Bangkok @ Sukhumvit Soi 29, Bangkok

After 2 nights stay at Amari Watergate Bangkok, we moved to our second hotel, Legacy Suites Bangkok located at Soi 29, Sukhumvit district. The location can be quite tricky,  along an alley away from the main Sukhumvit road. So make sure you get the address in Thai if you plan to come here with cab.


Walking distance to Phrom Phong & Asoke BTS Skytrain stations (10 minutes) & Sukhumvit MRT Metro (20 minutes). Shopping mall such as Emporium Shopping Center (Sukhumvit Soi 24) & the luxurious Emquartier Shopping Centre (BTS Phrom Phong) are located nearby too.

It is a serviced apartment features 183 rooms comprising studios and one-bedroom suites of various sizes.

We were ushered to our Deluxe Studio located at 2nd floor after the swift check in process. Dressed in earthy tone with wooden flooring, the 46 square meters Deluxe Studio definitely more spacious than what I’ve expected. The room offers the option of a king sized bed or two single beds as well as a separated living area, dining table for two, kitchenette, and bathroom.

Further in is the bedroom with a King size bed, working desk cum dressing table, 32” LCD flat screen TV, wardrobe, electronic safe, bathrobe and slippers. I like the big window which allow ample of natural sunlight penetrate in. The only grouch was the mattress was too hard for my liking.

The bathroom is opposite the kitchenette, it may not look spacious but it was more than enough for us with all the basic toiletries, towels, hair dryer were provided.

Separated shower cubicle and bath tub. Cleanliness was top notch but we encountered an unpleasant smell after we using the toilet which we suspect most probably was the drainage pipe problem.

The swimming pool was inviting, this is also the main reason I chose here as my second accommodation at Bangkok. There is adult pool and kid pool (with gentle Jacuzzi function)with sun loungers (quite limited though). One have to pass by the check in counters/lobby if you want to go the swimming pool which I think is not quite convenient. There is also a tennis court on the rooftop which we didn’t have time to check it out.

Our breakfast was at this Chillz Restaurant located at another block next to the hotel lobby.

Echoing the soothing setting of the lobby and hotel room, the restaurant adopted a simple and minimalist theme with light beige and contrasting red furniture.

The buffet spread was adequately satisfying, salad, cold cut, cereals, hot food, fruits, yogurt, tea and coffee.

The star of the buffet, unlimited of crunchy bacon!

My energetic breakfast to awake my sense for the whole day activities at Bangkok.

 

Verdict: It was a pleasant stay overall, spacious room, beautiful swimming pool and decent breakfast. But we hope that they will look into the problem of that unpleasant smell in the room.

 

Finding accommodation when traveling can be a very time consuming and tedious especially when you travel on a tight budget.Trawling through numerous of websites, checking on deals can be very complicated and overwhelming. Fortunately, I’ve discovered HotelsCombined which is a hotel price comparison site that cuts through availability and prices from all the top travel websites from around the world, including Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, Agoda, Venere, LateRooms and many more. In one quick and easy search,you’ll find just what you’re after and can be sure you’ve booked the hotel that’s right for you – at the best possible price.
