One of a handful of midrangers located on this small side street off Soi
20, Baan Sukhumvit's 12 rooms exude a homey, cosy atmosphere. A newer branch is
around the corner on Soi 18.

You wouldn't know it from the exterior, but after more than 50 years 'Club
Fed' finally decided to get a makeover. The upstairs rooms are comfortable and almost
contemporary, but elements of the ground-floor rooms still scream 1967. The real draws
are the convenient location, the frangipani-lined pool and the time-warped US-style cof-
feeshop.
Stable Lodge

A
renovation has given a bit of life to the somewhat aged rooms here, and the spacious bal-
conies offer great city views (though we were slightly disappointed the faux-Tudor theme
of the downstairs restaurant doesn't carry on into the rooms).
