Firstly, I must say I love everything at this apartment hotel! Here at Citadines Sukhumvit 23 I have all the facilities and staff support I need to enjoy holidays in Bangkok: Super comfy, clean apartment with great view; Convenient tuk tuk service taking me to the BRT and MRT, also back to the hotel; Well equipped kitchen with all needed cooking utensils; Nice supportive staff always patient showing me around. To sum up, I feel like staying in my upgraded home in Bangkok! The location is perfect, too! After a shop until you drop day, I can always treat myself a late night meal with a wide variety of delicious street food at reasonable price (100 bht/som tum with fresh shrimps, crabs, 50-60 bht/noodle bowl, 20 bht/chicken wing). If you want to bring food back to hotel room, enjoying meal and watching TV while sitting in your sofa in your living room, there are bowls, dishes, forks, spoons and of course, chopsticks, all utensils you need. How about saving or cooking food for tomorrow? Fridge, microwave and electric cooker are available in the kitchen! Don't worry about the smell as cooker hood will take care of it! If you want to, the housekeepers will help clean dishes as they make up room 🙂. Also, have I mentioned that is is only 10 min walk to Terminal 21 shopping mall, 1 BTS station from Emporium and EmQuartier shopping complex, on the same BTS line with Siam (Chit Lom)? When I say 10 min walk I don't mean you need to walk in the crazy heat of Bangkok, there's tuk tuk service taking you to the complex (with air conditioner, hooray!), if you come back past tuk tuk service hour (9pm), walking back from BTS to hotel is safe as the street is always quite crowded. When confused, just pick up your phone and call the hotel, they will give detailed instruction! Of course, it is close to the bar quarter, yet I don't see any issue as the bar quarter is quite separated, plus, it might be a great point if you want to explore night life in Bangkok 😉!
