Skutan Inn Bangchak

Skutan Inn Bangchak has rooms for solo guests, couples and larger groups, and the floor areas differ widely from one room to the next. Several rooms look out over the city and are fitted with air conditioning, and some have a TV and a closet. Bathrooms are private in some rooms and shared with other guests in others, so privacy depends on the room you choose.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms, and the inn's position near the BTS sky train makes it a practical base for getting around the city. Family rooms sleep up to four and five guests, and some rooms sleep up to three, so the choice depends on how many people are travelling.

Skutan Inn Bangchak keeps its facilities simple, with daily housekeeping and free Wi-Fi in all rooms.

A laundry service is offered for guests who want clean clothes during a stay in Bangkok, so there is no need to look for a laundromat nearby.

Family rooms are part of the accommodation, alongside rooms with a private bathroom and rooms with shared facilities.

Sukhumvit Road is one of the main roads of Bangkok, and Skutan Inn Bangchak sits on it in the Bang Chak district, where the BTS sky train runs above the road and into central Bangkok. The surrounding streets are busy, with street-food stalls and small shops along the main road. It is a practical base for travellers who plan to get around the city by sky train, and the same line serves the inn for trips into the city and back.

Bang Chak BTS Station is 200 m from the inn, and the Grand Palace, the royal complex in the old city, is 13.9 km away. Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn on the bank of the Chao Phraya River, is 13.8 km away. Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of the city's best-known markets, is 13.1 km away, and several other temples and museums can be reached from the same part of the city. Visitors who want a quieter pace can spend time in the neighbourhood around the station before heading into the old city.

A good day out is to take the sky train into central Bangkok, spend the morning at the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, which stands inside the same complex, and then cross the Chao Phraya by river ferry to Wat Arun.
