Hotel Overview

23 Hotel is located at 20 Sukhumvit Soi 23, Klongtoey Nue, Wattana, 10110 Bangkok, a quiet side street just a 10-minute walk from the Asok BTS Skytrain and Sukhumvit MRT interchange—one of the city’s most connected transit hubs. The property offers simple, well-maintained non-smoking rooms with air conditioning, hard wood flooring, and all the essentials for a comfortable stay: crisp linens, bedside USB charging ports, and a private en-suite shower with free toiletries, towels, slippers, and a hairdryer.

Complimentary high-speed WiFi works across the entire property, and daily housekeeping keeps rooms fresh throughout your stay. Useful on-site amenities include a leafy garden for relaxing after a day of sightseeing, 24-hour security with keycard access and CCTV, luggage storage for early check-ins or late departures, and a paid laundry service. The multilingual front desk staff speaks both English and Thai, and can provide official invoices for business travelers. There is no on-site parking, which suits most guests as Bangkok’s public transit and ride-hailing apps make driving unnecessary.

Nearby Local Attractions

• Benjakitti Park: Just a 15-minute walk from the hotel, this 72-acre urban green space features a scenic central lake where you can rent a paddleboat, cycle along shaded paths, or catch a cool sunset breeze. It’s also home to the stunning Queen Sirikit National Convention Center and is one of Bangkok’s best spots for a morning jog or casual picnic away from the downtown crowds.
• Terminal 21 Asok: Connected directly to the Asok BTS station 10 minutes from the hotel, this themed shopping mall is one of Bangkok’s most beloved.

Travel Tips

Book directly through the hotel to check real-time room availability before your arrival, as walk-in rates can be higher during peak tourist season (November to February). If you’re arriving by taxi, tell your driver “Sukhumvit Soi 23” instead of just the hotel name, as many local drivers know the area better than smaller properties. Grab, Southeast Asia’s leading ride-hailing app, is the cheapest and most reliable way to travel farther afield from the hotel, and the BTS Skytrain will get you to central attractions like the Grand Palace or Chatuchak Weekend Market in under 30 minutes. Note that the hotel does not have an on-site kitchen, but Sukhumvit So
