An eight-minute walk south of the Nana BTS station, this two-and-a-half-pearl apartment hotel is a good deal for those looking for self-catering digs in a central location, but worn decor both in common areas and in rooms may put people off. The hotel manages 92 huge apartments in a large mixed-use condo/office building. While all have kitchens and up to three bedrooms, decor varies greatly, and some units are worn and tired. Amenities include an outdoor pool, a fitness center, and an Indian restaurant with room service and an international breakfast service, and there's free Wi-Fi and parking. While it's a decent choice for big groups due to the size of the apartments, there are better-maintained value options with self-catering facilities, such as The Key Bangkok Hotel by Compass Hospitality.

D&D Inn is a 228-room budget hotel on Bangkok’s infamous Khaosan Road, attracting mainly backpackers drawn by the area's nightlife. Decent no-frills rooms come with air-conditioning, mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi, but many have old tube TVs and worn furniture. The noise from Khaosan’s bars and clubs is a real problem here, especially in street-facing rooms, while quieter rooms often lack windows. The pleasant rooftop pool and bar are open until late, there’s an on-site restaurant providing room service, and the hotel serves a breakfast buffet, though it's not always free. Travelers might also want to check out the similarly priced Khaosan Palace Hotel, which has slightly more up-to-date rooms with minibars, electric kettles, and better bathrooms.

Mac Boutique Suites hotel is an mid-range property well-located in Bangkok, just off the bustling Sukhumvit Road near the Skytrain. A main draw is the hotel's 74 spacious studios and suites, which start at 400 square feet and feature hardwood floors, zebra-print sofas, and amenities like mini-fridges, electric kettles, and flat-screen TVs, though some guests find the decor a bit tired and the bathrooms small. The hotel has a lobby bar and restaurant specializing in Indian cuisine. An Indian and international breakfast buffet is served daily, too, though it's not included in the room rate. Other perks include concierge service, (limited) free parking, and free Wi-Fi. As an alternative, the nearby Royal Benja Hotel has smaller, more dated rooms, but extra amenities like an outdoor pool and a gym.

The Baiyoke Sky is Bangkok's tallest hotel, sitting in the center of the Pratunam shopping district. While not quite upscale, rooms here do come with full amenities like bathtubs and separate showers (in some), electric kettles, safes, and flat-screen TVs. Needless to say, the views are superlative, especially from the higher floor Sky Zone and Space Zone rooms. The hotel also has a small outdoor pool, golf area, fitness center, and spa, but the top draws are the observation deck and various restaurants that sit up high, giving the best panoramas in all Bangkok. Considering the views and surrounding competition, prices are quite reasonable.

The 369-room Arnoma Grand Bangkok is an mid-range option in downtown Bangkok's Chitlom shopping area, across the street from the Central World Shopping Complex -- one of the world's largest malls. On-site dining options include a tea lounge, pub, and international buffet restaurant, while other features include a fitness center, swimming pool, and extensive events spaces. Rooms are spacious, with amenities like flat-screen TVs and minibars. However, while many of the common areas are impressive, the look in rooms is dated and bland (especially disappointing in a city with plenty of design-conscious options). For more modern rooms, travelers might want to check out the Centara Watergate Pavillion Hotel Bangkok.

Centre Point Pratunam is an upper mid-range, high-rise hotel with 266 rooms over 30 floors. It has a brilliant location for shopping in Bangkok, as it is within walking distance of Pratunam Market and Platinum Mall. There's a massage center across the street, as well a 7-Eleven to the right of the hotel entrance. The hotel has large, modern rooms that all have the added perk of kitchenettes, but the bathrooms could do with a bit of an update. There's also a spacious outdoor pool and gym on-site, and neither gets crowded. In fact, the lack of a scene is what deters some guests from coming back. But, overall the Centre Point Pratunam is a convenient pick -- particularly for those on longer stays who may appreciate the self-sufficiency of an apartment-style room.
