Denbosch1971 2,529 #2 Posted June 8, 2022 Hi @Warney, Novotel Sukhumvit Soi 4 has a pool bar. It's a 2 min walk to Why Not and about 5 min to NEP. So location is pretty perfect. I visited them in April, didn't have a balcony though. And to be honest, don't think they have rooms with balcony (based on attached pic) from their site. 1 Warney reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cockster 36 #3 Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) Indigo Hotel on Wireless Road, has balconies, beautiful pool upstairs with bar and restaurant above, good gym. Very nice area (opposite US Ambassador’s house). Guest friendly. Only issue is that it is 10-15mins walk to Soi 4. I’m going to give Novotel Soi 4 a try this time. Will be interesting to compare.

Decent enough rooms and good location Yes the pool itself is small, but at night the rooftop turns into a nice bar area with lots of nooks and crannies to sit with your LB and enjoy a quiet evening. That's when it shines. The downstairs restaurant is small and tends to get overwhelmed with customers at breakfast time. 4 pennybridge, whiteshirt, OneTrueSaxon and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OneTrueSaxon 5,997 #8 Posted September 29, 2022 The only Hotel I can think of with both a swimming pool (small pool just a bit bigger than galleria 10) and a balcony that I’ve stayed at is @Mind Suites in On Nut where I’ve stayed a few times, taking a one bedroom suite. Here’s my review from the hotel section 5 mikel, oliver17, whiteshirt and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikel 2,458 #9 Posted September 30, 2022 I used to enjoy @Mind although last visit it had become more corporate and packed with Chinese coach tours. The pool is small but little used and fun for two..... Citrus Suites has a readonable rooftop area with pool. I stayed there shortly after opening and it had potential for bar and nightime dining etc. Not sure if covid stopped that. Can't remember if any of the rooms had balconies. 1 Warney reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was merely pointing out how small the pool was Actually, Galleria 10 does have balconies on lower floors. Below pic is from a few years ago. We were on the 2nd floor (1st floor UK) as I recall. Galleria 10 is a perfectly good hotel with good proximity to CIB, but there are better hotel options in that area. For instance, Adelphi Suites on Soi 8 is also a 5 minute walk from CIB and there are several restaurants, laundries and legit massage places within a stones throw. On Soi 13 is Radisson / In Residence, which has balconies and a large, fine pool on the roof. It's a 7 or 8 minute stroll from CIB. 2 finklefoss and OneTrueSaxon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
