During this trip, I stayed at the Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 4. The guest room facilities and design maintained the consistent brand standards. What is surprising is the dual-brand design of Novotel and Ibis Styles, which is unique in China. A rare design in the high-end hotel market. (🔎Reservation price and guest reviews:agoda|booking.com)

🛏️What room type is recommended? Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit Soi 4 is a 25-storey building with a total of 185 rooms, offering 4 room types to choose from.
- Deluxe King: 28㎡
- Deluxe Twin Room: 28㎡
- Grand Deluxe King: 33㎡
- Grand Deluxe King with Bathtub: 36㎡
Novotel Sukhumvit 4 is positioned as a four-star chain business hotel. The room types are divided into two categories: luxury and luxury. Each room can accommodate an extra bed for three people to stay at the same time.In addition to the more spacious space, the luxury room type is equipped with a capsule coffee machine and a room type with a bathtub. However, the shower head is set in the bathtub and there is no anti-spray curtain. The design is not ideal, and it is easy to spray the bathroom. Therefore, if you do not particularly prefer bathtub equipment, it is recommended to choose the room type of the shower area.
At the end of 2019, I stayed in the luxurious double room with the largest space. Although the little hamburger can take a good bath, when adults take a shower, it is too easy to spray wet the floor, and the shower water pressure is not strong. There is still room for improvement in this regard. It is recommended that there is no special choice. Room with bathtub.The unique two-sided sliding door design is common in Novotel brand bathrooms. It can indeed make the space feel wider during the day. However, the bottom of the sink is hollow and there is no sound insulation at all. Therefore, when using the bathroom, there will be sounds even if the door is closed. This can be a little awkward at times.
Although the bathroom design of the guest room needs to be improved, the bed is quite satisfactory. The mattress has good support. The foldable pillow that combines soft and hard is very functional and is convenient for sitting and lying on the bed. There are reading lights and charging stations on both sides of the bed. Sockets and the chaise longue next to the bed are also quite comfortable, and the luxury room type is relatively spacious, providing more space between the bed and the TV wall, as well as more luggage storage areas. If you have low demand in this area and have a budget for accommodation, If it is limited, you can choose the deluxe room type. (🔎Reservation price and guest reviews:agoda|booking.com)
