The Kingston Suites is a small and fashionable property in a beautiful classic European style building with a Parisian facade. The upscale hotel sits on a side street off of busy Sukhumvit Road, one of Bangkok's top dining, nightlife, and shopping streets, and while the hotel is a good 10- to -15 minute walk to the Skytrain or metro stations, it does have a free tuk-tuk shuttle service for guests. Classy rooms here are decked out with elegant furniture, with high ceilings and warm cream tones. The hotel does not have any features other than its tiny Thyme Bistro downstairs, although guests can use the gym and pool at the nearby Royal President which is under the same management.

The iCheck inn Mayfair Pratunam is a 49-room, mid-range hotel somewhat hidden away off the main hotel drag around Pratunam Market. It might seem a bit out of the city center, but is actually right near the Airport Link and does have a free tuk-tuk shuttle for getting closer to all the dining and shopping. Standard rooms here are quite small, but have closet space, flat-screen TVs, and a modern, cheerful aesthetic; the highest end Deluxe rooms do give a bit more space. There are a small rooftop gym with great views, and a small restaurant/bar in the lobby to chill out in. For a modern and clean hotel, this property is a decent deal compared to some of its neighbors, and it certainly is in a quiet spot.

The President Park is a large hotel occupying a busy corner space on bustling Soi 24, home to plenty of restaurants, bars, and shopping. The hotel is popular amongst long-term visitors, and rooms here are geared toward their needs, all of them featuring kitchenettes with microwaves, hot plates, and full-size refrigerators. All rooms are spacious, and the higher-end suites include DVD players and bathtubs. The hotel is suitable for families as it has a children's playground and playroom, and there is a gym and several swimming pools for use, although they adjoin the hotel in a separate building that's a bit of a pain to reach. There is only one restaurant here, but a free shuttle takes guests up to Sukhumvit Road and the skytrain. For those looking for more of a living space than a hotel room, the President Park offers decent value compared to the surrounding competition.

The Phoenix Hotel Bangkok is a mid-range transit hotel aimed at travelers with layovers at Suvarnabhumi airport, around an eight-minute drive away. The cheapest of the 65 rooms are basic and dated, with simple wet-room-style bathrooms, but newer rooms are relatively stylish. All have balconies, mini-fridges, coffee- and tea-making facilities, and free miniature toiletries, though some have tube TVs and only the priciest have safes. Features include breakfast (for a fee), room service, massages, two-way airport transfers (though pickup can be slow), a local shuttle, reliable Wi-Fi, and parking. The nearby Cottage Suvarnabhumi is a similarly priced alternative, with an attractive pool.

The 76-room Buddy Lodge Hotel is a solid mid-range property smack dab on Bangkok's Khao San Road. There are two room types -- Superior and Deluxe -- all with balconies and dark-wood floors and furnishings; Deluxe Rooms have extra tea- and coffee-making facilities. Facilities include a gym with a Thai boxing ring, treadmills, and weight-training equipment, a sauna and steam room, and a lovely rooftop pool with fountains -- but the area is small and can get crowded at times. Some room rates include a breakfast at Buddy Beer, which is in a separate building down the road. The neighborhood has a party vibe and some of the noise can reach the rooms. Travelers seeking a quieter location or more modern rooms might want to try the similarly priced Glow Trinity Silom Hotel in the business district.

The S15 is a stylish, compact hotel located right in the heart of Sukhumvit Road, near shopping, dining, and nightlife. Catering to the Asian business market, the elegant rooms are furnished in a Japanese style and feature love seats, large flat-screen TVs, and spacious bathrooms with tubs. There's no swimming pool, but there is a small indoor hot tub along with a tiny fitness center and spa. There's also a restaurant and a nice terrace out front which serves drinks in the evening. However, while the hotel is centrally located and convenient to the skytrain and subway, the rates are high compared to many similar hotels in the area.

The Golden Tulip Mandison Suites is a compact hotel located off of busy Sukhumvit Road on a quieter side street. The hotel is too far from the restaurants and bars of Sukhumvit to walk, but it does have a free tuk tuk shuttle for guests. The location is quiet, and the rooms here come with flat-screen TVs, electric hot water kettles, and free Wi-Fi. The hotel has one of the nicest swimming pools for a smaller property, located on the fourth-floor terrace next to the hotel's one small restaurant, and the adjoining bar shows movies on the big screen. There is also a fitness center and meeting room available. It's a great value for an upscale hotel; Shanghai Mansion is another excellent boutique option in this price range, but it lacks Golden Tulip's pool.

The stylish Maduzi Hotel is a 40-room luxury boutique that's within walking distance of the Skytrain and subway.

Facilities include a posh lounge, 24/7 gym (but no pool or spa), excellent restaurant, and late breakfast (for a fee). The lobby bar has free tea/coffee, and there’s room service and housekeeping, plus free Wi-Fi -- but front desk service can be inconsistent. Travelers might also want to check out the Metropolitan by COMO, which has a similarly intimate vibe and more extensive facilities including a pool, and rates are only slightly higher.

The Ecotel Bangkok is a fairly large hotel with 155 rooms, yet lacks many features. The budget property is removed from the city's hotel gridlock on quiet street off of Petchburi Road; this location results in low prices, but guests are far from public transportation. Rooms are on the small side and have dated decor, TVs, and mini-fridges; some include buffet breakfast. The hotel has no pool, gym, or spa, but does have a breakfast restaurant plus a small cafe serving Thai food throughout the day and night. The lodgings won't be winning any fashion awards, but are good value for the area with prices less than that of the competition.
