Sara's Hotel

Every room at Sara's Hotel has a private bathroom with a shower, toiletries, towels and bathrobes, plus a hair dryer, an electric kettle, satellite or cable channels and a telephone.

Bed set-ups vary from king and twin beds to sofa beds, and some rooms have a city view. The suite, at 60 m², sleeps up to four guests, and the single room at 20 m² sleeps one.

The hotel has a restaurant, a coffee shop, a bar and room service, and a 24-hour front desk. Breakfast is offered in Asian, buffet and continental styles, and a shuttle service is available for guests who need a ride. Free parking is available nearby, and free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms, with Wi-Fi in the public areas too.

Tours and car hire can be arranged, and there are ticket services, a concierge, luggage storage, safety deposit boxes, laundry and dry-cleaning services. Meeting and banquet facilities are available, and there is a playground and a kids' meal option. The hotel is wheelchair accessible, and the languages spoken include English, Arabic, Russian and Thai.

Sara's Hotel is on Soi Sukhumvit 3, in the Nana Nua part of Wattana district in central Bangkok, on a side street off the long Sukhumvit Road. The area is busy and mixes hotels, shops, restaurants and street stalls, so it suits guests who want to be in the middle of the city rather than in a quiet residential neighbourhood. Sukhumvit has been a lively part of Bangkok for decades, and the streets around the hotel are full of activity at most hours.

Phloen Chit BTS station is 500 m away and Nana BTS station is also close, so the Skytrain gives direct links across the city. Siam Paragon, a large shopping centre, is 2 km from the hotel, and the Jim Thompson House, a museum of Thai art and silk set in traditional teak houses, is a short taxi ride further on. For the airports, Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) is 22.1 km away, and Don Mueang International Airport (DMK) is a similar distance to the north, so most travellers reach the hotel by road from either one.

A good day could start at the Grand Palace, 6.7 km away, with the Temple of the Emerald Buddha in its grounds. From there, Wat Arun is on the Thonburi bank of the Chao Phraya river, so a river crossing becomes part of the day. For a more relaxed afternoon, the Chatuchak Weekend Market is open at weekends and has a wide range of stalls selling clothes, crafts and food.
