Thong Ta Resort Suvarnabhumi Airport Hotel, located to the Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok is a decent option for accommodation close to Suvarnabhumi Airport.

It is located 10 minutes drive from the Suvarnabhumi Airport and the free shuttle service provided by the Thong Ta Resort Suvarnabhumi Airport Hotel makes it a good deal. Almost all hotels close to Suvarnabhumi Airport provide the shuttle service free of charge and you can choose your hotel based on your needs: budget, location or facilities.

Usually travellers who are staying in an airport hotel overnight only one night and don’t intend to be very picky when the hotel is selected; that’s why price makes 70% of the booking decision

The Airport Transfer from Suvarnabhumi Airport

Bear in mind that it is not a private transfer. It’s a shared transfer with a 9 seater car. Last 2 times I have been accommodated at Thong Ta Resort and used the shuttle service up 10 person and if people have more than 2 luggages prepare to have a crumble journey. The good thing is that the ride to the hotel is a short one; but usually after a long flight we feel like we need more space for yourself.

The meeting point is on the 2nd level of Suvarnabhumi; the hotel boarding name is along with other 100 hotels so you have to check carefully for it; to be honest the arrival & clients pick up is a bit of chaos at Suvarnabhumi compared to other airports as Yangon  or Hanoi for example.

This time I had to wait 20 minutes till the shuttle arrive.

The cons of the share shuttle transfer

• Waiting  time – from 5 minutes to 30min. Depending on your luck mostly. Shuttle bus runs every 30 minutes so if you had arrived 5 min after the bus left you have to wait 25 minutes more

• Space – both for you and the luggages

• Departure time from your hotel is fixed every 30min s0 if you wake up a bit late you have to wait another 30min and this can lead to your flight being missed.

As for the pro

• free or charge
• meeting new people

Location

Thong Ta Resort is located 10min drive from Suvarnabhumi Airport and can be reached either by taxi or the free shuttle provided by the hotel. It is located on a quite ally around 20m from the main road. This is a good thing because there is no noise coming from the cars; the only noise can come from the planes but only early in the morning.

The hotel is located to a few bars and restaurants and even a small food court with excellent thai food. A 7-eleven store is close by as well. There are no malls close by but since you came here only for a night, how cares?

Rooms

There are 2 mail buildings so if you want to have better rooms you can ask when making the booking to be placed in the new building. I was accommodated in the old building. There are no elevators and this time I got a room on 4th floor and my luggages weight around 30kg!  But luckily there are stuff who can help you with it!

The rooms are OK – a bit old but has good facilities as coffee, water heater or sleepers. Rooms are quite big; compared with the Tune Hotels I stayed in Kuala Lumpur Airport, the difference is huge!

Beds – this was a big disappointment – – the mattress was in a horrible state – it was impossible to sleep on the edges and with big waves; I was afraid not to fall down if I come closer to the edge.

Shower Room

There were not to many amenities – no soap and only one shower gel even if I was with my girlfriend. The curtain between shower and the toilet was quite old and a bit dirty. Water did not have too much pressure and it was not very hot. But not very cold either and you can take the shower – Thailand is hot and humid so it’s better a cold shower!

Hotel Amenties 

Breakfast is not included but hotel has  restaurant where I suppose you can have it but you have to pay extra. Hotel has a SPA facility as well but did not try it; it looked a bit abandoned to me.

Decorations

There are some cute decoration on the hotel walls and outside as well; nice for some photos!

Some reviews from TripAdivisor

Nate from Laos: I have stayed at and reviewed this hotel several times. The best feature of this hotel is the quick round trip shuttle to the airport. The rooms are comfortable. There is excellent wifi availabke throughout the resort. Check in and check out is usually quick and easy. TV service is pathetic and the breakfast is hardly edible, but this is not a holiday destination. It is simply a place to rest during travels. My biggest complaint and this has happened in all my rooms, is the way the bathroom floor floods when using the shower. I put the curtain inside the tub, pay attention to the direstion if the shower head and try to be careful but the floor always floods. Other than that no complaints. Well, the inconciderate guests who dapart at 3:00 am and decide to slam doors and yell up and down the hall. Not the hotel’s fault
