Arriving at Suvarnabhumi Airport at the unholy hour of 4 a.m., I was grateful to already have a booking at Boxotel. The location took some effort to track down—tucked in the basement, reached only after a long corridor—but once inside, the check-in process was quick and efficient.
What surprised me was the requirement for a cash deposit in order to receive the key card. Fortunately, I had some Thai baht on hand, but in an increasingly cashless world, this felt outdated. On the brighter side, I appreciated the flexible policy that allowed me to extend my stay by an extra hour for 350 baht, which was exactly what I needed.
The biggest drawback is the lack of an on-site bathroom; guests must walk back through the corridor and up to the first floor of the airport. After a red-eye flight, that extra trek felt longer than it should have.
But once I returned to my compact, spotless room, all irritations faded. The bed was firm yet comfortable, the linens crisp, and the quiet atmosphere made it the perfect cocoon for a few hours’ rest. It isn’t luxury, but it delivers what truly matters in transit: a clean bed and precious sleep.

The boxtel room at BKK hotel is along the passage way at the bottom floor from the BKK airport to the raillink. The sign to boxtel is visible once you reached the lower level of the airport. There are about a dozen such rooms along the passage way, and you arrange the rental from a 24hr reception facility nearby. |The boxtel room contains a single bed for a single person stay. There is no toilet, shower, or towel. The room is bare basic with a pillow and a comforter. The room at BKK airport costs 350 Bht per hour, with 4hr minimum.|The room is clean, and there is a doorstop at the bottom of the door for the purpose of noise reduction. We rented the room for 4hr from 2:30am to 6:30am. As the Bangkok rail doesn’t operate from midnight to 5am, the area is deadly quite for the first few hours. Starting from 5am, you can sense the arrival and departure of the subway, though if you use ear plug, the noise is minimum. |Boxtel provides a basic room at BKK airport so that you can lie down during the transit. The facility is basic. If your party have more than 1 people, you may consider other airport stay facility, e.g., the Prime Sleep facility at the...
Read moreThis is a "capsule hotel" where you can rent rooms by the hour. The rooms are all singles and obviously quite small but the wooden interiors give them a warm feeling. The rooms are all at floor level, therefore there is no ladder climbing, unlike other capsule hotels. There is a small sitting area where you can read magazines and relax and a vending machine area with tables where you can grab a bite. It is all well decorated and the staff is very nice, as it is common in Thailand. The only problem is the bathroom, it is a bit far, about 70 meters down the hallway and it is in need of serious maintenance. It is the public bathroom of the airport railway station and mostly serves the airline offices in the premises. The Boxtel is a bit pricey though with prices starting at about $20 for a 2 hours stay. However, if you need a quick rest on a tight connection you can be in your room in less than 5 minutes after you clearer immigration. It is right behind the airport train station on the basement floor of the...
