Popular with Japanese tourists, the Key Bangkok is a three-pearl hotel located right by the Asok BTS station in the heart of downtown Bangkok. Its 43 rooms are considerably sleeker than what one might expect from a mid-range property, with lots of modern furniture and homey extras such as kitchenettes with microwaves and full-sized fridges. However, while the rooms here are fantastic, this hotel leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to amenities, with no fitness facilities, business center, or proper restaurant. That said, there is a lobby cafe -- Chabis -- where a buffet breakfast, included in some rates, is available. Travelers looking for more amenities may want to consider the nearby Citadines Sukhumvit 16 Bangkok, which has apartment-style rooms plus a pool and gym.

The 71-room myhotel Pratunam is a small budget hotel near Pratunam Market and the Airport Rail Link terminus. Bargain prices keep this property full, and while the hotel is modern, it's a no-frills affair. Basic rooms have wood floors, small flat-screen TVs, minibars, small safes, and free Wi-Fi. The location isn't convenient for central Bangkok's major eating and drinking areas, but the Phaya Thai Skytrain station is only a seven-minute walk from the hotel. There's a small cafe and restaurant that serves free breakfast as well as lunch and dinner, but no other facilities. For a bit more cash, the Citichic by iCheck Inn has sharper, more spacious rooms and a prime Lower Sukhumvit location.

A short walk or tuk-tuk ride to the Skytrain and metro, the Baan K Residence by Bliston has 28 studio and one-bedroom apartments that are best suited to long-term travelers. Along with fully stocked kitchens, all rooms come with huge entertainment systems and free Wi-Fi. A small coffee shop and gym are also on-site, and while the area is relatively secure, guests should note that the reception desk is not open 24 hours a day. Still, for the price, these modern, self-catering units are a terrific value, even in Bangkok, where many hotels offer competitive rates.

All 403 rooms offer superb city views and ultra-modern features like 40-inch flat-screen TVs and iPod docks plus luxe details including freestanding bathtubs.

The skytrain and vibrant Silom Road are within a short walk, but for an equally swish option closer to Lumpini Park, check out the Sofitel So Bangkok.

There are 366 guest rooms at this upscale hotel in Bangkok, near the duty free shops at the King Power Complex. The hotel has an impressive range of facilities including excellent dining and drinking options, a large spa and fitness center, and a stunning outdoor pool. Guest rooms have modern Asian decor plus spacious and luxurious bathrooms with a spa bath and separate shower, though the look isn't quite up to luxury standards that the hotel claims. Rates are far lower than many other luxury properties, in part because while this hotel is central, it's not really near anything of interest. For something right in the heart of vibrant Chinatown -- and with sharp design to spare -- check out Shanghai Mansion, which has similar rates.

Dang Derm Hotel is a two-and-a-half-pearl Thai-style hotel in the heart of the lively Khaosan Road. Its 100 simple rooms have a bit of authentic style, with beds on the floors and bamboo paneling, and all come with mini-fridges and free Wi-Fi. Like most Bangkok budget hotels, the bathrooms are wet rooms. Additionally, the lively surroundings mean that noise can be an issue. The highlight here is the lovely rooftop pool and sundeck with views of the area, plus the hotel has a restaurant serving Thai and Italian fare, an open-air cocktail lounge, and a free breakfast buffet served daily. The Buddy Lodge Hotel just down the street offers more features like a fitness center, sauna, and steam room, but some of its rooms are a bit worn and dated.
