Essentials

Ad Lib Bangkok Hotel is an upscale hotel on Soi Sukhumvit 1/1, a lane off Sukhumvit Soi 1, and it is on Bumrungrad Hospital’s partner list at 0.19 km from the hospital. The hotel’s website describes it as sheltered from the bustle of Sukhumvit, in a quiet alley beneath a banyan tree.

At 0.19 km from the hospital, it suits outpatient visits where a long walk or a taxi queue would be tiresome. Nana and Phloen Chit BTS are the nearest stations to Soi 1, a short taxi ride away.

Overview

The hotel’s website lists eleven room types. The entry level is a 25 m2 Superior room, followed by Superior Plus at 28 m2, Deluxe at 32 m2 and Deluxe Plus at 38 m2. Premier rooms come with a terrace (42 m2) or with a bathtub (44 m2). Above those are a Junior Suite with bathtub at 57 m2, Superior Suites with bathtub (70 m2) or terrace (65 m2), a Deluxe Suite with bathtub and terrace at 65 m2 and a Premier Suite with jacuzzi and terrace at 89 m2.

That spread is useful for a long stay or a hospital trip with a companion: the larger rooms give space for luggage and a visitor, and several have a bathtub. Choose a room by size, not only by grade, because the difference between the entry level and the Deluxe Plus is more than 10 m2.

In peak season the hotel asks for a two-night minimum, so a one-night stop before a morning appointment may not be bookable at those dates. Other hotels on the partner list are covered in hotels near Bangkok hospitals.

Tip: If a terrace matters, book a Premier with Terrace or one of the terrace suites; they are listed as separate room types.

Food and drink

Living Room at Ad Lib Bangkok

The hotel’s dining room, which also serves the all-day breakfast. It is the easy option for a morning meal before an appointment.

Pool Bar & Poolside Dining

On the third floor beside the pool, with views of the city skyline. It suits a quiet evening drink or a light meal without leaving the property.

Amenities

The swimming pool and pool bar are on the third floor, with skyline views. The rooms with a bathtub, a terrace or a jacuzzi are the hotel’s distinguishing feature, more than any shared facility.

Check with the hotel about lifts and step-free access from the lane to the lobby if mobility is a concern.
