Legacy Suites Hotel Bangkok Review


Lately I've been asked about where one can find hotels with big rooms in Bangkok. Particularly 4 star hotels on Sukhumvit road with a guest friendly policy.

Legacy Suites Hotel comes to mind along with many others such as Phachara Suites on Soi 6, just around the corner from Nana Plaza's go go bar girls. Though there are quite a few more hotels I can recommend too like the Legacy.

Legacy Suites is about 50 meters down on Sukhumvit road Soi 29 and right between Soi Cowboy red light district and a cluster of popular oil massage parlors by the Phrom Phong BTS station. The hotel's location is quiet which I know many prefer but not far at all from the company of Thai go go bar girls and a quick rub and tug at Teen Massage, Akane Fashion Massage and Angel Massage. So you can walk to the action in around 10 minutes.

Superior room at Legacy Suites - 39 square meters
Built in 2007 the hotel is not exactly new but anyone that has stayed there before will tell you it looks only a few years old. The property is well maintained and gradual changes and minor renovations were made to keep with newer hotels built all over the Sukhumvit district.

So how big are the rooms at Legacy Suites? Their superior rooms are 39 square meters and their deluxe rooms are 46 square meters. Superiors cost about 2400THB ($76USD) per night and deluxe runs about 2600THB ($83USD) per night. Both room rates include breakfast too.


As you can see a deluxe room only cost 200THB more. So I recommend booking a deluxe room because it's worth it and makes a big difference. Not that superior rooms are small at all. It's just that Legacy Suites deluxe rooms are an excellent value!

The hotel is a 4 star property so there's a swimming pool and also a tennis court. There's a gym too but the cardio equipments are out dated however. The Legacy is still a good 4 star hotel in my book and very affordable too. And if you want to impress your Thai bar girl flavor of the night without spending too much on a quality hotel this is the place that would do it.

For your reference here is an email confirmation from Legacy Suites Bangkok regarding their guest friendly policy:
Dear Jim,

Please kindly be informed you that there is no any charge if you bring a joiner to stay overnight.

Should you require more information please do not hesitate to contact us and looking forward to welcome and serve you soon

Legacy Express Bangkok Review

Here's another cool funky hotel right on Sukhumvit Soi 1 called the Legacy Express Bangkok that's been getting a lot of good reviews.

And being so close to Suk. Soi 1 means that the area is quieter but not too far from all the excitement. Nana Entertainment Plaza is right on Sukhumvit Soi 4 which is only a few minutes away. Soi Cowboy is approximately a 15 minute walk.

The Legacy Express opened its doors a few years ago. So it's still a brand new guest friendly hotel in Nana red light district. Taxi drivers shouldn't have a problem at all finding the hotel since the location is easy to reach. Plus the hotel is right between two BTS stations on Sukhumvit road called Ploen Chit station and Nana station.


So the hotel's location is great especially for single guys out on a night in Bangkok. Scores of Thai freelancers can be found on Sukhumvit Soi 4. Just north of Soi 4 is where Russian prostitutes are located. Right through to Soi 7 are the African contingent of hookers in the Arab quarters. And of course visiting Nana Plaza Entertainment's go go bars and beer bars is as easy as a short walk to the corner of Soi 4.

The Legacy is considered a 3 star hotel. Which is just right in terms of quality. But there's no pool or gym however. Though Annie's soapy massage is right on Sukhumvit Soi 2 if you want to play in water and some would consider a night of romping with a bar girl a workout.

Their most affordable rooms are the superior room types which are about 27 square meters big. And the rooms comes with modern touches including an in room safe and free Internet Wi-Fi access.

As of writing there is an early bird promotional rate provided by Agoda.com for around 1500THB including taxes. The price is just about right for a budget hotel in Nana. But since it's a new hotel it's totally worth it.

And the Legacy Express Hotel is guest friendly. Here's an email confirmation for your reference:
