Howdy Readers!

Does any of you will travel to Bangkok and need a cozy-comfort place to stay at the heart of the city? Perhaps I could tell you a bit about the hotel we chose for our visit last time.

The choice was Salil Sukhumvit Soi Thonglor 1 Hotel Bangkok. Even it is categorized as a mid-range hotel but thanks to www.agoda.com we had a good price (yippie!!). Oftentimes checking on OTA was paid off 😅

If you wonder why we preferred Sukhumvit which is known as an exclusive district in Bangkok, instead of the famous Khao San Road?

That's because Salil Sukhumvit Soi Thonglor 1 Hotel locates just a short walk to the main Sukhumvit road and Thonglor BTS sky train station. Which unfortunately Khao San Road is not. Whereas we plan to optimize using public transportation like a train for strolling around the city. The way I understand, using a bus in Bangkok is not as comfortable as a bus in Singapore. As for taxi, even it is a metered taxi, don't be surprised if the driver insists on giving us a fixed rate. Speaking of experience usually, they implied because they knew we are a visitor 😔

Even Sukhumvit is surrounded by fancy malls and business hotels, it still a well placed to explore the city has to offer.

Review on Salil Sukhumvit Hotel Soi Thonglor 1 Bangkok

Small dining room with assorted menus. The interior design reminds me of colorful Greece

Salil Hotel is a group hotel, all are located in Sukhumvit. There are Salil Thonglor Soi 1, Salil Soi 8, Salil Soi 11 and Soi 57. The Thai use "soi" for indicating it is a branch of the main road, followed by a number. Salil Soi Thonglor 1 means Salil at Thonglor road branch number 1. Pretty much like that I guess 😆

And yes that's how the hotel is. After hop out from BTS at Thonglor sky station on Sukhumvit main road. We turned to a side road and walked for about 5 minutes. We passed apartments and few fancy restaurants before we turn to a smaller road, not an alley though, and keep walking along the side before we found the Salil signboard.

The further we walked from the main road, the less we heard the hustle noise. Which were affirming that the hotel is offering the convenient place for our sleep during this trip.

I was fully relying on the website when chose this boutique hotel. All promises written on the page is for real, alhamdulillah. The services were good. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Food is acceptable. No wonder Salil Soi 1 with 40 rooms of Superior, Premier and Deluxe receiving good rating and impressions from Trip Advisor.
