Akara Hotel

Lovely hotel near airport link. Great breakfast. Small pool with too few sunbeds.

The staff were so kind, welcoming and accommodating. The room was clean, spacious, the bed was comfy. The food at the restaurant was great and the view at the rooftop pool/bar was amazing! Will stay again

Bangkok was the first stop in our trip, and I really liked that this hotel was close to a lot of the activities we planned. The whole interior was top tier, and the rooms were so beautiful. It was such a relief to step into the quiet of the hotel after the hustle and bustle of all the activities. The rooftop bar was also such a great addition. We had drinks one night and just stayed for a few hours taking in the scene and lights. 10/10 would recommend!

This hotel is very nice and the staff is very friendly. The view from the rooftop pool and restaurant is great and the breakfast is tasty. I would have rated this hotel at least a 4, however the night before checking out the hotel informed me I would be charged 200BHT for a stained wash towel. The wash towel was not stained but was dirty due to the fact that my feet got dirty from walking in Temples with shoes and socks.

Really nice boutique style hotel located on the Airport Rail Link (ARL). Very friendly staff and nice dining choices including a great breakfast and cute happy hour with creative canapés and beverages. Very walkable area close to BMK and Pratunam Market. The pool isn’t really much to speak of though.

Good location and very nice hotel. The hotel staff were really the shining star during our stay! Everyone was so friendly, helpful and warm. We enjoyed the pool to cool off after a long day of exploring the city. The breakfast was wonderful too. We will stay here again when we return!

The view from the pool and rooftop bar is AMAZING!

This hotel is such a gem. Walking distance to Ratchaprarop station means hasle-free commute from the Suvarnabhumi Airport to the hotel. Aside from that, this property is a walkable distance to the Pratunam shopping district which is sooo appreciated, especially if you love their morning wholesale market. Additional to the location, the hotel itself has warm and friendly front desks and an amazing hospitality (free afternoon snack prior to check in). The gym was pretty decent too. Overall, I would definitely come here again!!

Et dejlig hotel som ligger meget centralt. Personalet er virkelig serviceorienteret og meget hjælpsom. Morgenmad var ok, men der manglede måske lidt. En skæn pool med en lækker udsigt. Poolen var dog ikke stor og kun 4 solsenge.

Camera spaziosa, confortevole e pulita, hotel elegante e curato, staff molto preparato e professionale, bella la piscina e il bar all'ultimo piano.

Loved this hotel. Wonderfully clean with great staff and facilities. The decor is well thought out with an eclectic mix of modern and decoish style. We had a really spacious room with a jacuzzi bath, separate shower and separate toilet. Marble and wooden floors with rugs made it really homely and comfortable. The view from the balcony was great. Fabulous to have a bit of live music on the 2nd floor (violinists) and delicious snacks were served which were really welcome in the afternoon pre-dinner. Nice pool with a view and above that a great rooftop bar which also served a selection of different food. Can highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again on our return. Perfectly placed for the train journey from and to the main international airport at a very reasonable cost of just 40 baht!

This hotel is very close to Siam Paragon and MBK. It has some options for food if you walk around. The BTS is also very close (a con if you need complete silence to sleep). The room was very clean with only a few things looking out of place ( the air vents were hanging out of place a bit). The bed was comfortable. It is a firm but included a mattress topper. The bed is a bit high for those who might have mobility issues. The only thing was that the tub and the shower curtain were a bit dirty. They also will not let you check in until 2pm which was rough after traveling for 24 hours. They did take our bags. We opted to have breakfast at the hotel and then headed to the mall.

This is a very nice hotel, and it was my second stay. The first time was in November 2019. The hotel is nice and near a train station. My room had a funny odor coming from one of the drains, which is why I’m rating this hotel a 4.

An excellent small hotel with an easy access to the Airport line. Plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby. Friendly staff and clean facilities.

Property is very clean and rooms are clean and comfortable. Staff is excellent and very friendly, go out of there way to assist in any way. Definitely recommend

Overall a good experience, not without it's issues though. Firstly, our transfer from BKK airport to the hotel didn't show up, apparently because the member of staff left the company before booking. They did rectify this and refund our transfer booking. Secondly, there was some dirt or potentially human waste on the bidet hose, which clearly wasn't cleaned properly before we checked in. This was sorted after we raised it with the front desk. Other than these issues it was a pleasant stay.

Great hotel in fabulous location. Rooms very clean. Staff very friendly. Great value for money. Highly recommend.

Clean, good breakfast and cocktails, grinedly staff and went above and beyond for us.

The staff went above and beyond to help guest. Great breakfast, including western and eastern options. I loved the king room setup. My only complaint is the shower mat had mold on it and needed to be cleaned.

After checking in, it was obvious the room was not cleaned well. There was a dry spill on the floor and stains on the bathroom sink and desk. Once I checked out and had to go back to the room to retrieve a forgotten item, I saw a gentlemen only making the bed instead of stripping the sheets. This gave me the inkling that they reuse sheets if not obviously dirty. Lobby staff were excellent, however.

Close to the airport railway link, which was very useful for getting around the city and the arrival/departure. Next to a noisy highway, but wasn't a major issue being in a big city where it's noisy everywhere. The room was in good condition for an older hotel, and everything was clean. Great service and friendly staff.

Beautiful room and comfortable bed. Very relaxing after traveling for 24 hours.

This hotel isn’t bad, but it’s not 5 star worthy at all. I am unsure why it is listed as a 5 star. It’s definitely not a horrible hotel though, but for what they claim it is, it didn’t live up to it. The wifi was very slow, tv didn’t work, the room had an odd smell, they only gave you one key, etc. kind of a weird set up where the toilet is on the opposite side of the room so you have to walk across the room Jusf to wash your hands. The staff was very nice and helpful, though!

We returned to A,Arab after our European trip and after an 11 hour overnight flight we arrived at the hotel at around 8am and were exhausted. Rey on the front desk was marvellous. He understood our dilemma and went to work trying to find us the earliest check in. By 9.30am we had our room clean and ready for us. The room was very spacious and the bed very comfortable and enormous. The room was exactly like the photos and internet access was quick and reliable. We were within walking distance from Platinum mall and baioke towers shopping area (both excellent places to find a bargain).

Every time i took a shower it would set the smoke detector off and front desk would send someone up to make sure i was not smoking in the room this happened 5 different times and was great having to explain to staff that im trying to take a shower just in a towel but other than that clean good facilitys and great view

Not a 5 star hotel but a good place to stay for the price and location for a night or 2. Rooms are small and the layout of the bathroom and toilet being seperate is not convenient. Aircon beeped all night, not many tv channels, can hear people in their rooms.

Objectively, the room looks like the photos and it looks good. However, the hotel itself is much smaller than I thought. The lobby was tiny. Each floor has only 6 rooms. The pool is actually nice, but also, quite small. The view we got, facing the train station, looks down on what seems to be a slum area. We kept our curtains closed the whole duration of our stay because the view looks very sad. The room, while looking like the photos, feels old. There is a faint smell of the toilet in the room, which goes away after leaving the air purifier and AC on for a while, but it comes back everyday. The bathtub, while usable, leaks water very quickly, so we had to leave the tap on if we need to use it. The handle on the basin’s tap was loose and shown signs of multiple fixes, but it comes off all the time when I try to use it. The room soundproofing is also terrible. You can hear the train noises from outside the window even with the curtain on. I can hear music from the next door neighbor very easily. The one good thing about the room is the size. It is quite spacious. The breakfast was deeply disappointing and inconsistent. There are quite a few things to choose from, however, none taste good. Even the fruits doesn’t taste good most of the days. Overall, I did not have a 5-star experience. At the price point I think there are better options in Bangkok. However, it’s probably the most spacious at that price point.

Gute Anbindung an den internationalen Flughafen. Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Unser Zimmer war sauber, doch relativ klein. Im Bad gab es eine Badewanne (Einstieg schwer) mit Duschvorhang. Wir hatten ein Zimmer zur Autobahnstraße was Nachts und in den Morgenstunden laut war. Am schlechtesten war für uns das Frühstück. Für europäische Verhältnisse wenig Auswahl, kein Käse, keine Wurst, der süße Brotaufstrich war gruselig. Positiv war die Eierstation. Eher für Asiatische Gäste ausgelegt. Bisher das schlechteste Frühstück auf unseren Thailandreisen und das in einem sogenannten 5 Sterne Hotel. Die Teestunde war naja, kann sich das Hotel sparen.

The room itself was very unique and cool. Just something the pictures cannot do justice. The pool also has one heck of a view!

Nice hotel. Very handy to Ratchaparup train station. Walking distance to Platinum Mall. Staff are very pleasant and attentive although it seemed only the lady on reception could speak English. We phoned up for some ice to be sent to our room and they kept asking what we wanted with our rice. Then someone turned up with a spare blanket. We did eventually get the ice though. The TV wasn’t working when we got to our room and unable to fix it they left us with a keyboard to navigate the channels. The room was clean but the lights on one side of the bed did not work. We were given no soap or liquid body wash so we bought our own from the 7eleven close by. The meal selection was average so we ate out most nights. Nice convenient place but could do with an upgrade.

I barely wrote any comments after my stay. If I wrote I was really not happy. The lady,Kaye looked very not patient to me when I checked in. I felt she ordered me to fill out checkin forms like I owed her something. I am not sure she was happy with her job or not. But I was unhappy when I checked in. Then, I checked google reviews of people’s stays. The same comments were also shown up. I think the front desk manager shall know what happened. The other staff were pretty nice and polite. And the facility was awesome. But Don’t let an unprofessional staff destroy your reputation

After the earthquake, we couldn't reenter the hotel, so we lost that night's stay. The following day, when we were allowed to retrieve our belongings, that stay was not refunded either.

Good location and very nice hotel. The hotel staff were really the shining star during our stay! Everyone was so friendly, helpful and warm. We enjoyed the pool to cool off after a long day of exploring the city. The breakfast was wonderful too. We will stay here again when we return!

The Front Desk Manager (female) on Check In (on 21 June 2024. was extremely difficult and not Welcoming and miserable All other staff were good ….. Just Front Desk Manager was not nice Front Desk Check In (Normal Staff) we’re good.

Hotel is ideally placed on the direct airport rail link, and therefore easy to utilise the other rail/metro options. Only negative was the fact that we had flown overnight and arrived at 0830am and the room wouldn’t be ready until 2pm. To be fair the reception staff were really good allowed us to have a shower and they we were able to sunbathe by the pool.

L’hôtel prélève une caution de 2000 bahts au lieu de simplement faire une empreinte CB. Déduction faite de mes dépenses au bar et restaurant, il reste près de 400 bahts que je n’arrive pas à récupérer. Malgré mes mails et relances, l’hôtel ne répond pas. Même s’il s'agit d’une petite somme, pour moi c’est inadmissible et cela s’apparente à du vol. Dommage car tout le reste est très bien. À cause de cela, je déconseille vivement cet hôtel.

We had a wonderful stay in Akara Hotel. The staff were all so lovely and helpful - special mention for Kaye, Ray, Rich & Chay who were so courteous and kind. The hotel itself is beautiful with all the amenities you could need. The room was spacious and comfortable. The hotel is very well situated to walk around the city with close transport links. We will certainly be returning to stay here! Thank you.

Very close to BTS train, easy to get to suvrabathum airport. Close to major shopping centre's. Room was nice. Pool area wasn't very enticing. Overall good place to stay.

An excellent small hotel with an easy access to the Airport line. Plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby. Friendly staff and clean facilities.

Nice hotel in an ok location. Walkable to CentralwOrld and MBK. It is a walk to a good subway station but just 200 m away from the station to get to BKK. The pool is nick, small but nerver crowded.

The staff here was amazing! Location was right near the rail from the airport so that was a plus.

This hotel is such a gem. Walking distance to Ratchaprarop station means hasle-free commute from the Suvarnabhumi Airport to the hotel.

Nära Pratunams väldiga shoppingdistrikt, men tillräckligt kort avstånd för att kunna slippa stressen och stohejet med alla folkmassor. Hotellet renligt och personalen vänliga. Bra frukost. Bodde på 12e våningen och hade tillgång till förfriskningar bid lobbyn. Nära tunnelbana. Mkt nöjd ned vistelsen och bor gärna där igen om man ska shoppa i Pratunam.

Our stay at the Akara was amazing. The location is extremely convenient and easy train and taxi access to all key locations across Bangkok. Defo recommend that you take the train from the airport as it’s only 35 mins and far less time and cost than taking a taxi. Staff were generally amazing and attentive to all our needs. Checkin was easy. The only thing I would say is I would have liked to see an acknowledgement of our honeymoon in the room given that I provided easier notice of this to the hotel but this was a small point. Property was excellent. Had a classic yet modern finish. We definitely recommend Akara to anyone as a great place to stay whilst in Bangkok. It’s a beautiful place. The only recommendation I would make is that they make pancakes fresh not in advance but this is true of most hotels in Thailand not just Akara.

This hotel was lovely! They upgraded us to a suite. The restaurant was great and the breakfast buffet was exceptional. It’s definitely worth the money. The hotel is not on the river but you can take a taxi. We enjoyed the Indian market a short walk from the hotel.

Roof top bar was fabulous- the food not so fabulous

Really nice boutique style hotel located on the Airport Rail Link (ARL). Very friendly staff and nice dining choices including a great breakfast and cute happy hour with creative canapés and beverages. Very walkable area close to BMK and Pratunam Market. The pool isn’t really much to speak of though.

The rooms were nice, had a home feeling to them. The pool hours were short. Most of the staff was friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant could be better. I would say though, the breakfast was probably the best selection of food that the hotel has to offer.

Nice hotel. Breakfast caters more for Asian visitors rather than Western Visitors but that’s not too much of an issue. Don’t expect the British breakfast lol.

The Akara Hotel is a beautiful, classic hotel located in the center of Bangkok. The decor is stunning and elegant with marble floors and exquisite wall coverings throughout. The hotel has 17 floors and two elevators. We never had to wait for an elevator. I don’t know how they managed this, but it was greatly appreciated! The breakfast buffet was wonderful with a wide range of variety and selections. In addition, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The view of Bangkok from the bar on the top floor was unbelievably beautiful and definitely a big draw for the hotel. However, nothing is totally without a problem or two. The television in our room was not working. We mentioned this to the woman at the front desk. She had someone look at it, but it still had not been fixed. Rather than waste additional time (there was always a small language barrier), we decided to forego the news for the week. We also had an unfortunate experience at the Filipino restaurant in the hotel. The concierge recommended a certain Filipino dish for us to try. The dish was described on the menu in a clear and certain manner. When our food came, however, it was totally unlike the dish described on the menu. It was inedible, but due to the language barrier, we were unable to explain why we were unsatisfied with the meal. Would suggest the waiters clearly explain the food choices on the menu, especially if they are different than what is pictured on the menu.
