Even though we are just 100 meters from the excitement of Sukhumvit Rd., HI-Sukhumvit is situated on a quiet and safe street, lying in a peaceful area and surrounded by a tranquil wealthy residential area.
The location itself is an ideal starting point to explore Bangkok’s attractions being well connected to the user-friendly public transport system and providing easy access to the airport, bus terminals, train stations and pier.
After an exhausting day exploring Bangkok, you can chill out in our spacious communal area with a book exchange with hundreds of books and magazines, cable TV and refreshments, as well as complimentary guest kitchen.
