If you've been scrolling through luxury condo listings along Sukhumvit, you've probably come across Hyde Sukhumvit 11 and Hyde Sukhumvit 13. These twin towers from Grande Asset Hotels and Property sit right in the thick of Nana, one of Bangkok's most internationally flavored neighborhoods. But is the reality of living here as polished as the lobby? I've spent time in both buildings and talked to enough tenants to give you the real picture. Here's your full Hyde Sukhumvit review, written for renters, not buyers.

Location: Right in the Pulse of Lower Sukhumvit

Hyde Sukhumvit 11 sits on Soi Sukhumvit 11, and Hyde Sukhumvit 13 is just one soi over. Both are within a five to eight minute walk of BTS Nana station, which puts you one stop from Asok and two stops from Phrom Phong. That kind of connectivity is hard to beat if you work in the central business districts or commute toward Silom via the BTS interchange at Siam.

Soi 11 itself is legendary. You've got everything from high end Japanese restaurants to late night bars, 7 Elevens on every corner, and enough international food options to eat something different every night for a month. The downside? It gets noisy, especially on weekends. If you're someone who wants a quiet residential feel, this is probably not your street.

Picture this: you finish work at a coworking space in Asok, hop on the BTS for one stop, grab Thai street food from the vendors near Soi 11's entrance, and you're home in under ten minutes. That's the daily convenience Hyde offers. But if you're a light sleeper with a unit facing the soi, bring earplugs or request a higher floor unit facing inward.

Unit Quality and Layouts: Compact Luxury Done Well

Hyde Sukhumvit units lean toward the compact side, which is pretty standard for luxury Bangkok condos in this price range. Studios start around 30 sqm, one bedrooms run 45 to 55 sqm, and two bedrooms sit around 70 to 80 sqm. The finishes are genuinely high quality. Think engineered wood flooring, solid kitchen countertops, and floor to ceiling windows that pull in good natural light, especially on higher floors.

Bathrooms are a highlight. Many units come with rain showers, quality fixtures, and clean modern tiling that still looks sharp years after completion. Kitchens are typically open plan with built in appliances, though the counter space is limited. If you cook elaborate meals every night, you might find it a bit tight. For most renters who cook casually or eat out often, it works perfectly fine.

One thing I noticed visiting a friend's one bedroom on the 20th floor of Hyde 13: the city views toward the east are genuinely impressive, especially at sunset. You can see all the way past Thonglor's skyline. That view alone makes a higher floor unit worth the premium if your budget allows it.

Facilities: Hotel Grade Without the Hotel Price Tag

Both Hyde buildings offer facilities that compete with five star hotels in the area. The rooftop infinity pool is the star attraction, giving you unobstructed views of the Bangkok skyline. There's a well equipped gym with modern cardio and weight machines, a sauna, a library lounge, and 24 hour security with key card access on every floor.

The lobby and common areas are maintained to a high standard. Management keeps things clean and the staff at the front desk are responsive, which matters more than people realize until they've lived somewhere with poor building management. Packages get handled properly, guest registration is smooth, and maintenance requests are usually addressed within a day or two.

A couple I know who rented at Hyde 11 for two years said the pool was their favorite part. They'd come up after work on weekdays and often have it nearly to themselves. Weekends get busier, but nothing compared to the overcrowded pools you'll find at some of the mega developments along Sukhumvit.

Rental Prices: What You'll Actually Pay in 2024

Rental prices at Hyde Sukhumvit are competitive for what you get, though they sit firmly in the upper mid range. Studios typically go for 18,000 to 25,000 THB per month. One bedrooms range from 28,000 to 40,000 THB depending on floor, view, and furnishing quality. Two bedrooms can run 45,000 to 65,000 THB, with top floor units occasionally pushing higher.

Compared to nearby buildings like 15 Sukhumvit Residences or Citrus Sukhumvit 11, Hyde commands a slight premium. But it earns it through better finishes and stronger facilities. If you're comparing it to true ultra luxury options like The Esse Sukhumvit 36 or Muniq Sukhumvit 23, you'll find Hyde more affordable while still delivering a polished living experience.

Most leases here are 12 months minimum with a two month security deposit. Some landlords are flexible on shorter terms, but expect to pay a monthly premium for anything under a year.

Who Hyde Sukhumvit Is Best For

Hyde works best for young professionals, expat couples, and digital nomads who want a central location with genuine quality but don't need a massive amount of space. If you work anywhere along the Sukhumvit BTS line or in the Asok, Silom, or Sathorn areas, the commute is painless.

It's less ideal for families with young children. The units are compact, the neighborhood is lively at night, and the nearest international schools require a commute. If you have kids, areas like Phrom Phong or Thonglor will serve you better with more space and family oriented amenities nearby.

I met a solo expat working in fintech at an Asok office who chose Hyde 13 over three other buildings specifically because of the walkability. His gym, his coffee shop, his BTS station, and his favorite ramen spot were all within a six minute walk. For his lifestyle, it was the perfect fit.

If Hyde Sukhumvit sounds like it matches what you're looking for, or if you want to compare it against similar buildings in the Nana and Asok area, Superagent at superagent.co can match you with available units based on your actual budget, preferred move in date, and lifestyle priorities. It takes about two minutes, and you skip the usual back and forth with multiple agents.
