Bangkok's budget hotel market is dominated by small rooms. The standard budget double in Sukhumvit averages 15-22 sqm — workable for one person, cramped for two, and genuinely uncomfortable for a family of three or four. Finding a family-suited hotel at Bangkok's 3-star budget price point requires specifically looking for properties with larger-than-average rooms.
Royal Ivory Nana Hotel's smallest room is 32 sqm — already significantly larger than the market average. The Deluxe at 42+ sqm and our largest rooms at 45 sqm with a separate living area provide genuine family living space. Combined with an outdoor pool, included breakfast for all guests, a full on-site restaurant, and a quiet Soi 4 location with excellent BTS access, Royal Ivory is a practical Bangkok family base.
Smallest room: 32 sqm Superior — significantly larger than Bangkok budget average
Family room: 42+ sqm Deluxe with kitchenette — refrigerator, microwave, kettle
Suite option: 45 sqm — separate living room + bedroom + bathtub
Pool: Outdoor — free for all guests including children
Breakfast: Included for all guests — no extra charge per child
Restaurant: Full Thai restaurant for lunch and dinner on-site
Location: Quiet Soi 4 side street — away from main Sukhumvit traffic
BTS: 300m to BTS Nana (E4) — all Bangkok accessible by Skytrain
The Deluxe is the recommended room for families of 2-3. At 42+ sqm, there's genuine living space — room for the children to move around, unpack, and not feel on top of each other. The kitchenette (refrigerator, microwave, kettle) lets parents store snacks, drinks, and baby supplies — a meaningful practical advantage on a family trip. Air-conditioning throughout. Breakfast included. Pool access included. From 1,800 THB/night.
The Suite provides a full apartment-style space at 45 sqm — a separate living room distinct from the bedroom, bathtub in addition to shower, and premium Thai decor. For families of 3-4 guests, the separate living area means parents and children have their own zones. The bathtub is particularly popular for families with young children. From 2,800 THB/night.
For larger families or those who prefer separate sleeping spaces, two Superior rooms (32 sqm each) provide 64 sqm total. Contact the hotel at +66 2 656 7888 to request adjoining or connecting rooms — the team will do their best to accommodate adjacent room bookings for families.
| Room Type | Size | Best For | Key Feature | From |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Superior | 32 sqm | Parents + infant | Large for budget | 1,200 THB |
| Deluxe | 42+ sqm | Family of 2-3 | Kitchenette | 1,800 THB |
| Suite | 45 sqm | Family of 3-4 | Separate living room + bathtub | 2,800 THB |
The outdoor pool at Royal Ivory is one of the few in the budget 3-star Nana area. For families with children, the pool is often the defining feature of a hotel stay — the place where the whole trip comes together after a day of Bangkok sightseeing. Bangkok's year-round heat (25-35°C) makes pool access valuable every day, not just a luxury amenity. Free for all guests — no additional charge.
Breakfast is included in the room rate for all guests — meaning the whole family eats without additional cost. Served in the hotel's Thai restaurant, it's a proper sit-down start to the day that sets the tone for family sightseeing. Not having to organise food for the whole family before leaving the hotel significantly reduces the daily stress of travelling with children.
The hotel's full Thai restaurant provides a reliable, familiar dining option for families throughout the day. After long days of sightseeing when children are tired and parents don't want to navigate Bangkok's street food scene, having an on-site restaurant with a proper menu is a significant practical convenience.
Royal Ivory is on Sukhumvit Soi 4 — a side street that branches off the main Sukhumvit Road. During the day, Soi 4 is a normal, quiet Bangkok street: restaurants, massage shops, convenience stores, and locals going about their business. Families walking to BTS Nana (700m along the soi) will pass by nothing unusual. The adult entertainment venues on Soi 4 operate exclusively in the evening and are closed during daytime sightseeing hours.
The BTS Skytrain from Nana station (300m from the hotel) connects families safely and comfortably to Bangkok's major tourist attractions — no tuk-tuk negotiation, no taxi meter disputes, no traffic for most of the journey:
| Family Attraction | BTS Journey | Then |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal 21 (shopping, food court, cinema) | 1 stop to Asok | Walk 2 min into mall |
| Chatuchak Weekend Market | Mo Chit (end of line) | Walk 5 min to market |
| Dusit Zoo / Safari World | BTS + taxi | Approx 30-40 min |
| Grand Palace & Wat Pho | BTS to Saphan Taksin | Chao Phraya ferry 15 min |
| Siam Paragon / MBK (shopping, food, cinema) | BTS to Siam (4 stops) | Walk 2 min |
| SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World | BTS to Siam | Inside Siam Paragon basement |
"Stayed with our two kids (8 and 11). The Deluxe room was genuinely spacious — enough for all four of us without feeling cramped. The pool was used every single day — the kids insisted on it before breakfast. Having breakfast included meant we didn't have to think about where to eat at 7 AM. Great BTS access."
— Martin & family, Germany
"We booked the Suite for a family of four. 45sqm with the kids having their own sleeping area in the living room — perfect. The bathtub was a highlight for our youngest. Breakfast every morning was proper, restaurant quality. We visited the Grand Palace, Chatuchak, and the SEA LIFE Aquarium — all easy from BTS Nana."
