Essentials

FuramaXclusive Sukhumvit is a 104-room hotel at 27 Sukhumvit Soi 1, directly across from Bumrungrad International Hospital, with the hospital’s partner list giving 0.23 km. It is a budget-priced hotel for its position, and the hotel’s website puts Phloen Chit BTS about a 10 minute walk away.

For a hospital visit the position is the point: the road crossing and a short walk are all that separates the lobby from the hospital. The train is further, so plan a taxi or a slow walk for city trips.

Overview

The hotel’s website names four room types: Deluxe, Premier, Premier Corner Room and a Mystery Room, which is a surprise category. Premier rooms have a large floor area, and the Premier Corner Room adds a pantry with a microwave oven. That pantry is the nearest thing to a kitchen on offer, enough for warming food or a simple breakfast on a longer stay, but not for cooking.

Most rooms have Wi-Fi. Check-in is at 14:00 and check-out at 12:00, which matters if you arrive on an early flight before a morning appointment, since the room may not be ready.

Compared with the other hotels near Bumrungrad, it carries the lowest starting rate on the hospital’s list and still has a pool and a gym. It is a poorer fit for visitors who want to be on the Nana or Asok restaurant streets. The other options are set out in hotels near Bangkok hospitals.

Tip: Ask for the Premier Corner Room if you want the pantry, and book a Deluxe or Premier room on a higher floor if the traffic of Soi 1 bothers you.

Food and drink

The hotel has a restaurant, listed on its facilities page alongside the pool, gym, spa and sauna. Guests who book direct get a discount on food and drink, according to the hotel’s website.

Amenities

The facilities page lists a swimming pool, a gym, a restaurant, a spa and a sauna. The pool and gym are the useful ones for a longer stay.

The hotel is SHA Plus certified, a Thai health and safety standard for tourism businesses. The connection to the train is the 10 minute walk to Phloen Chit BTS.
