Lasalle Suites Hotel & Residence — More Space Than You'd Expect, with Full Kitchen, Pool and Basketball Court in Quiet Bang Na
Bang Na tends to be thought of as a through-route to Suvarnabhumi Airport or the Eastern Seaboard — but for families with children at Bangkok Patana School, teams heading to events at BITEC, or anyone who needs a genuinely spacious base rather than a box-sized hotel room, Lasalle Suites Hotel & Residence is a property that regulars return to again and again. Suites run from a well-proportioned 55-sqm one-bedroom with balcony and full kitchen up to a 185-sqm five-bedroom duplex large enough for nine people — plus a basketball court, tennis court, outdoor pool and spa on the grounds. The hotel scores 8.8 out of 10 from 229 verified reviews across major platforms, with staff and cleanliness both earning 8.9. Rates start from approximately ฿1,200 per night for a one-bedroom suite.
Lasalle Suites sits on Lasalle Soi 33, a quiet residential lane off Sukhumvit 105, and the surrounding neighbourhood reflects that calm. Opening in 2007, the property is not the newest building in Bang Na, but reviewers consistently describe it as "an older building that is well maintained" — a meaningfully different thing from simply old and neglected. The soi setting means very little through traffic, which translates to genuine quiet at night, something guests who have stayed near busier roads in the area genuinely notice.
What makes the hotel stand out is the room format. All 34 suites come with a full kitchen (fridge, microwave, oven), a washer-dryer, and a private balcony. The entry-level one-bedroom suite measures a generous 55 sqm — larger than a standard superior room in most four-star Bangkok hotels. Family travellers can step up to the 110-sqm two-bedroom suite (two baths, sleeping four comfortably), and groups or larger teams have access to three-, four- and five-bedroom configurations up to 185 sqm. For extended stays or groups, splitting one large suite almost always works out cheaper per head than booking multiple standard hotel rooms nearby.
"Very spacious, clean and private. The pool is clean and the privacy is excellent. Staff are genuinely helpful. Good value for what you get."
Trip.com verified reviews award staff a score of 8.9 and cleanliness 8.9 — both of which consistently feature in written feedback. Front desk staff are praised for being friendly, English-capable, and responsive when issues arise. The outdoor pool draws repeated compliments for its cleanliness and the fact that it rarely gets crowded — described by one guest as offering "very good privacy." Beyond the pool, the grounds include a basketball court, a tennis court, a fitness room and a spa (Kalavek Wellness Spa), which together give the property a club-like feel that a plain hotel room setup cannot.
The location has specific strengths worth knowing. Bangkok Patana School is approximately 500 metres away on foot — families using Lasalle Suites as short-term accommodation during school term start or exam periods will appreciate the walk rather than a taxi. BITEC Bang Na (Bangkok's main exhibition and convention centre) is about 10 minutes by car, while Mega Bangna and IKEA are 12–15 minutes. Suvarnabhumi Airport is roughly 20–25 minutes depending on traffic. The Yellow Line BTS and BTS Udom Suk station (Sukhumvit Line) are both reachable by a short Grab ride.
Honest context for the things reviewers flag: the building's age shows in places. Some guests report air-conditioning that struggles during the hottest months of April and May, and a handful of reviews specifically mention bathroom fittings that could use updating. Arriving late at night, the soi setting — while quiet — can feel somewhat isolated, particularly if travelling alone for the first time. Breakfast is not typically included in room rates; guests rely on the hotel's restaurant, nearby street food stalls, or — most practically — the kitchen in their own suite.
Pricing runs from approximately ฿1,200–1,800 per night for a one-bedroom suite in quieter periods, rising to ฿2,200–2,800 for two-bedroom units. During major BITEC events such as Motor Expo, Metalex or THAIFEX, and over Thai public holidays, larger suites fill quickly and rates move up. If your event dates are known, booking three to four weeks out is sensible. The score of 8.8 from 229 reviews reflects a hotel that knows its audience well — families and teams who want real space, real cooking facilities and a quiet base, at a price that makes sense when you divide it by the number of people using the room.

- 💡If you're staying one night and just need a clean bed — the kitchen suites here may be more room than you need, at a higher price than Hop Inn or Cubic Bangna. Lasalle Suites pays dividends most clearly over multi-night stays when the kitchen genuinely saves money.
- 💡If you expect a freshly renovated, contemporary-looking property — Lasalle Suites opened in 2007 and reviewers are candid that it shows. The building is well maintained, but it is not new. If modern design is a priority, look at newer Bang Na options.
- 💡If you plan to travel into central Bangkok daily — Lasalle Soi 33 has no public transport to the door. Budget for a short Grab ride to BTS Udom Suk or the Yellow Line station each time; factor that into your total trip cost.
