About this hotel
Tints of Blue trades a lobby full of marble for one full of natural light: every guestroom carries a balcony, a kitchenette and a seating area, which matters when a flight delay turns a one-night stop into two. Asoke BTS and Sukhumvit MRT are both a seven-minute walk away, so the Airport Rail Link connection at Phaya Thai is reachable without a taxi queue. The outdoor pool and free WiFi cover the waiting hours between check-in and a late departure, and the 24-hour front desk means a 3 a.m. arrival is handled the same as a 3 p.m. one. Luggage storage lets guests drop bags and go exploring Sukhumvit before a night flight instead of sitting in the room watching the clock.

Our take
This suits a traveller with a night flight who wants the Skytrain, not a taxi meter, standing between the hotel and the airport rail link. The self-catering kitchenette earns its keep on a longer layover stopover. Anyone wanting a hotel shuttle straight to Suvarnabhumi's kerb should book one of the airport-shuttle properties instead, since the connection here runs via BTS and rail link, not a private van.
- Book Asoke BTS side rooms if you want the shortest walk to the Skytrain at check-out
- Use the kitchenette for a pre-dawn coffee before an early Airport Rail Link connection
- Confirm luggage storage hours at check-in if your flight lands after the desk shift change
Why we love it
- Balcony in every guestroom, rare at this price point
- Two transit stations within a seven-minute walk
- Outdoor pool for a layover afternoon
- 24-hour desk for red-eye arrivals
Why guests love itTints of Blue Hotel is a minimalist hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 26, about 700 metres from Asoke BTS and Sukhumvit MRT, which keeps the rail link towards the airports within easy reach. I like the balcony rooms for a short stopover: each has a kitchenette, a dining nook and a flat-screen TV, so there is room to repack. The outdoor pool helps between flights, and the 24-hour reception handles arrivals and departures at odd hours.
