Editor's note
The pool at the Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit appears to be a standard outdoor offering without unique features. One review notes it as "outdated and worn out" with a renovation planned for mid-2026, suggesting it currently lacks a strong aesthetic appeal or modern amenities. Staff friendliness at the hotel in general is inconsistent, which may impact pool service quality.

What guests say about the pool
In their own words
Avoid the Sofitel Sukhumvit Bangkok, at least until the pool renovations are complete.
You’ve got a great pool, spa, gym, and sauna for unwinding, plus multiple restaurants and a stunning rooftop bar—all without ever needing to leave the property.
The pool area and sun loungers are outdated and worn out (though a renovation is planned for mid-2026).
