@Home Residence Bangkok — Kitchen Aparthotel in Hua Mak, a Short Walk from Rajamangala Stadium
If you need a place to stay in Bangkok's Hua Mak–Ramkhamhaeng corridor that comes with your own kitchen, a private balcony, free parking and a genuinely affordable price tag — @Home Residence Bangkok on Soi Searee 2, Hua Mak, is worth a look. The 50-room aparthotel puts every unit with a fridge, microwave and private balcony. Rajamangala National Stadium is 1.2 km away, a relaxed 7-minute walk. Free parking on site, free Wi-Fi, an in-building cafe. From approx. ฿750/night. Score 8.8 from 285 real reviews.
@Home Residence Bangkok sits at 1/1 Soi 16 Searee 2 Road, Hua Mak, Bang Kapi — tucked into a quiet residential soi not far from Ramkhamhaeng Road. The seven-storey, 50-room building is run independently with 24-hour security and CCTV throughout. The neighbourhood is a university-and-residential district on Bangkok's eastern side: low-traffic, local and a fair distance from the tourist bustle of Sukhumvit or Silom — which is exactly what many guests here are looking for.
The defining feature is an in-room kitchenette in every unit — a fridge, microwave and basic prep space — paired with a private balcony. Those two things combined lift this aparthotel above the standard box-room options in the area. Room categories are Studio Twin Bed (two singles), Studio Double Bed (queen) and Deluxe Double Room (queen, slightly larger). All are air-conditioned with an LCD TV and a private bathroom with hot-water shower.
"Clean room, friendly staff, peaceful surroundings — Wi-Fi stayed solid the whole time. Perfect for a week of remote work."
Guest ratings tell a consistent story. On Momondo (aggregating 285 reviews), cleanliness scores 9.5 out of 10 — the highest category — followed by staff at 9.3 and value at 9.2. On Booking.com (26 reviews, score 9.1 "Wonderful"), the free Wi-Fi earns a perfect 10.0 and location draws 8.7. Recurring praise: clean rooms that are larger than expected for the price, polite and responsive staff, and the calm of the residential soi after checking in.
Location context for first-time visitors: Rajamangala National Stadium is 1.2 km away on foot — Bangkok's east-side venue for big football matches and major concerts — making this one of the closest walkable hotels when there's an event. ABAC (Assumption University), Hua Mak campus is about 2.5 km away by car. Airport Rail Link (ARL) Hua Mak station is around 3.8 km; grab a rideshare in 10–15 minutes and you can ride straight to Makkasan or all the way to Suvarnabhumi Airport. Ramkhamhaeng University and The Mall Ramkhamhaeng are roughly 3–3.5 km to the west.
On-site amenities: a cafe, a small convenience store, laundry service, luggage storage and free private parking — a genuine plus in this part of Bangkok where street parking is limited. There is no swimming pool and no breakfast service, but the soi and the surrounding streets are lined with affordable student-district eating: noodle shops, street food stalls, halal options and casual restaurants within easy walking distance.
Honest observations from real reviews worth knowing before you book: some rooms receive limited natural light, particularly lower-floor units facing the narrow soi — request a higher floor if daylight matters. A handful of older rooms show signs of bathroom damp. The check-in window is 14:00–18:00, narrower than most hotels; if you arrive later, call ahead so staff can arrange key handover. A refundable ฿500 deposit is required on arrival.
@Home Residence Bangkok works best as a base for solo travellers or couples who want a kitchen-equipped room without paying serviced-apartment prices: ABAC students, remote workers on extended stays, business visitors with meetings in the Hua Mak–Ramkhamhaeng corridor, or concert-goers at Rajamangala who want to roll back after the show. At roughly ฿750–900 a night for a studio with balcony and kitchenette, the value-for-money case is strong.
