Review: Citadines Bangkok

Is the word Citadines sound familiar to you? This Serviced Apartments is the brand of
Somerset & Ascott and very popular in Europe.

In Bangkok, there is 4 Citadines located in Sukhumvit soi 8, 11, 16 and 23 by accordingly.

I've been inspected these 4 properties once I took a one day inspection all Ascott property.

Here's a short review for the characteristic of Citadines.

This Serviced Apartments is equipped with modern style and high tech amenities. Due to the limited of room space, it'd appropriate for a single or honeymoon person. Anyway the room designed by usefully in every single of space, it can make you feel comfortable.

Basically the room starts from Studio to 1-Bedroom but only Citadines Soi 8 and 11 has a 2-Bedroom type. They are equipped in a same configuration which consists of living, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom but they're differentiate by color.

Citadines Bangkok Sukhumvit 8
The recently opened of Citadines in Bangkok. It's located in Sukhumvit Soi 8. It takes around 10 mins walk from BTS Nana Station to the apartment but you can call for a free shuttle Tuk-Tuk. The apartment has 130 units range from Studio, 1-Bedroom and 2-Bedroom. The room designed in a Black&White color. Furthermore, you can use the facilities like swimming pool and fitness for free but it's quite small for relax.

Citadines Bangkok Sukhumvit 11
This is also the new property from Citadines, just opened in last year. It's located just the opposite Soi of Citadines Bangkok Sukhumvit 8. You can go to BTS Nana station and call for a Tuk-Tuk as well. The property has 127 units and the room type & floor plan are same as Citadines Bangkok Sukhumvit 8 but the color is in Blue tone.

Citadines Bangkok Sukhumvit 16
The first Citadines opened in Thailand at Sukhumvit Soi 16. Even the location is in the heart of Bangkok but I think it takes some time to walk to the BTS and MRT if you are lazy to walk :P
The nearest BTS is Asoke station and the nearest MRT is Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre. The property has 79 units and only Studio and 1-Bedroom which color in orange tone.

Citadines Bangkok Sukhumvit 23
This is the brand new property which is just opened from last year. There are 138 units for Studio and 1-Bedroom with violet tone. The apartment is located opposite Soi of Citadines Bangkok Sukhumvit 16. The nearest BTS is Asoke station.

For the price, it starts from 2,xxx to 5,xxx Baht per night.
If you are looking for a short tern rental in very Central of Bangkok and comfortable for your living, I offer you the Citadines.

Review: TENFACE Bangkok

Is the word "TENFACE" curious for you?

It refers to Thotsakan, a ten faced giant in Ramakien Epic.

So what's related to my blog? If you go to Wireless Road and inside Ruamrudee Soi 2, you will see one of the most aesthetic Serviced Apartments. The name is TENFACE

I've been inspected this apartment last year. It's easy to access this apartment, you can go by BTS at Pleon Chit station and call to the apartment for a free shuttle "Tuk-Tuk".

At TENFACE, You'll amaze since you're arrive. The entrance door looks like a warehouse!! First I arrived I can't find the door or lobby but when I walked to the door which I thought it's a painted wall, it's open automatically.

Just for a while, the sales staff greeting us at the lobby and show us the room. This is the brand new serviced apartments in Bangkok as it just opened from September 2008. There is only 79 units in the building starting from Studio to 2-Bedroom.

The first room type is 1-Bedroom Suite (61 Sqm.) which is the umpteenth room in the building, 59 units. The room consists of 1 king size bed, 1 living, 1 kitchen and 1 bathroom. It also has balcony but too small. The price for this room type around 4,xxx Baht/night.

Next is 2-Bedroom Suite (110 Sqm.) which has only 8 units. The guest who stay in this room type will get an iPod Nano Video with AV dock and remote control as a complimentary during your stay. You'll have to return when check out. The room consists of 2 bedroom with king size bed, 1 living room, 1 kitchen, 1 dining room and 2 bathroom. The price for this room type is around 7,xxx Baht/night.



Ok, let's see 2-Bedroom Premier Suite (125 Sqm.), 11 units in the building. The room configuration same as 2-Bedroom Suite but the room size bigger and the price also big :P It's ONLY 8,xxx Baht/night.

Further from 1 and 2 bedroom, there's a TENFACE Suite which is only 1 unit in this property.
The size is 142 Sqm. There's 2 bedroom with king size bed, 1 large living, 1 kitchen, 1 dining room, 2 bathroom. You can play Hid and Seek in this room, I think....



The advantage of TENFACE is the design which is unique by itself. It's equipped with contemporary and Thai modern designed in every single room and building interior.
The room is painting with Thai Alphabet on a colorful background like yellow and red as well as in the lobby and restaurant, you'll see an elaborate painting exclusive oeuvre.

One more thing that's make me amazing is the complimentary from this apartment. It's CONDOM in two boxes which painting a Thai woman showing the size by her face....(I thought it's a matchbox) If you want to see, please stay at this apartment.

You can use wireless internet in the room and in public area in this apartment for free as well as the fitness facilities and shuttle service.

For the shuttle service is not ordinary, the owner of the apartment love a classic car. Further from Tuk Tuk, you 'll have a chance to take a sit on classic Benz!! Don't mention to the price because I don't know :P

Are these information enough to impress you? If you love to stay at a comfortable and privacy, I suggest you TENFACE.
