The upscale Fraser Suites Sukhumvit offers 163 spacious apartment-style guest rooms in one of Bangkok’s most vibrant areas, Lower Sukhumvit. The stylish, comfortable apartments all have full kitchens and washer/dryers and many have separate bedrooms, though wear and tear is evident. This property is a step above many other apart-hotels with its wide array of features, from a kids' playroom and large pool to two excellent on-site restaurants -- one with amazing Bangkok views. Guests looking to stay closer to Bangkok’s historic sights may want to try Navalai River Resort in Bangkok’s Old Town, which has excellent river views, though smaller rooms.

The small, mid-range Moonite offers a convenient location in downtown Bangkok that puts guests a short walk from the elevated Skytrain and close to shopping malls and foreign embassies. Rooms (besides suites) are relatively small -- with reports of traffic noise from those facing the street -- and some bathrooms in particular are tiny, but the interiors are clean and modern and a rooftop garden provides respite from chaotic Bangkok. Most neighboring hotels are more luxurious, and the Moonite will appeal to both leisure and business travelers looking for a slice of central Bangkok without the sometimes higher price tag. Guests should note that a number of reviews report encounters with staff who speak only limited English. If a pool is a priority, consider the nearby and often similarly priced Eastin Hotel Makkasan -- though note that it is a tad farther from the Sky Train.

The luxury Ascott Sathorn Bangkok offers stylish yet homey serviced apartments in Bangkok’s trendy business district and close to the Skytrain. The 177 spacious rooms have full kitchenettes with ovens and washer/dryers, and views are of greenery. The Mediterranean restaurant looks onto a pleasant pool area with private cabanas, and is complemented by a Japanese restaurant and an Irish-style pub with regular live music. The enormous gym has a sauna, whirlpools and a coffee bar -- but the condos on the upper floors share these facilities. For a similarly luxurious property with even more convenient Skytrain access, consider the Eastin Grand Hotel Sathorn Bangkok instead.

The Admiral Premier is an upscale, serviced-apartment hotel within walking distance of the Skytrain and metro (there’s also a free shuttle). Decor is generally pleasant, if a tad dated, including in the 112 rooms, which are bright and spacious, but a little worn. (Bathrooms are particularly old-fashioned.) All rooms have microwaves, and some have kitchenettes, washing machines, and unfurnished balconies. However, they lack minibars and room service, and there are some housekeeping issues. The rooftop pool and gym have pleasant views but are small, and breakfast is available for a fee until late afternoon, but there’s no evening meal service. The nearby Golden Tulip Mandison Suites has a bigger pool and more going on in the evenings, though it’s slightly farther from the Skytrain.

The 144-room upscale Grand Swiss Hotel offers comfortable rooms in Bangkok’s energetic Lower Suhumvit area, home to a dizzying array of restaurants, shops, and bars. Just a few minutes from a skytrain station, and with an on-site outdoor pool and dining and drinks options, the property is an attractive option and a decent value for the area. Executive level bookings receive extras like access to the 180˚ Lounge, with good views of Bangkok in a chic setting. That being said, some of the hotel’s decor can look a little cheap. Guests seeking more timelessly elegant rooms could try Centre Point Sukhumvit 10, which has a kids' playroom and saltwater swimming pool at a similar price point, though isn’t as close to the skytrain.

In Bangkok's bustling Upper Sukhumvit area, the mid-range D Varee Diva Bally Sukhumvit is a decent budget-friendly option in a hotel-packed area. It's only a five- to 10-minute walk to Sukhumvit Road and 15 minutes from the Asok-Sukhumvit Metro/Skytrain interchange. Decor in the 78 spacious rooms varies dramatically between the old and new wing, and suites with kitchenettes are available. The hotel’s public areas are a bit rundown, and guests have complained about housekeeping and maintenance. There’s a rooftop pool and gym, but both are small and the gym is plagued by broken equipment. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel, but the in-room signal can be spotty. Though it’s farther from the skytrain, the ibis Bangkok Riverside has a chic pool, 24-hour bar, more kid-friendly amenities, and only slightly higher rates.

The three pearl Le Fenix Sukhumvit is located right in the heart of Bangkok's trendiest nightlife area and is an excellent location for those who like to party. While the infamous red light district isn't far away, this street is far more upscale, and there is easy access to restaurants and bars, as well as the nearby skytrain. Rooms are small and lack views, but Superior Rooms have iPod docks, DVD players, and flat-screen TVs. The resort doesn't have a swimming pool or a spa, but its happening rooftop bar and restaurant is great for stylish nights out under the sky.
