Where to stay in Bangkok

Where is the best location to stay in Bangkok?

If you're looking for the best area to stay in Bangkok you have to think of the city center. In Best Location Hotels we propose the area east of the Chao Phraya River as the best area to stay in Bangkok. In this area you can access to luxurious hotels overlooking the river, or more affordable hotels that are close to interesting points of the city as Silom Avenue, Patpong market or Lumphim Park, the largest park in Bangkok.
 
But what is really important and necessary to visit Bangkok is to stay near the sky train. The Bangkok Skytrain, officially called BTS, allows us a quick and easy access to everything you need to visit in Bangkok and also allows access from the airport.
 
Hotels in Bangkok are cheap compared to European standards or United States. So we can book hotels of excellent quality at affordable prices, keeping in mind that they are near the sky train.

Some opinions about the hotels and the area

Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok: "I come to Bangkok regularly on business, and pretty much have my choice of where to stay. I usually stay here.  Location of the hotel is excellent, one key reason that we chose the hotel. It is located within walking distance to many shopping malls, central world, paragon etc."

 

Mandarin Oriental Bangkok: "In my opinion, this is the best hotel in the world! It certainly is from my experience. I would tell anyone coming to Bangkok, especially experienced travelers, to stay here at least a few nights, in spite of the expensive price. Staying in this hotel will make you instantly feel comfortable in Bangkok. This is the trip of a lifetime and deserves to be spent in the very best place."

 

The Sukhothai: " honestly wish there were less wonderful choices for hotels in Bangkok. It is a city that has an amazing array of fabulous hotels at surprisingly affordable prices. Sukhothai is one of the best in Bangkok. The location is central and convenient to the Skytrain (Lumpini) with an easy walk to avoid the Bangkok traffic. Thus, is a good base for your city adventures or business needs."

 

Sivatel Bangkok: "This hotel is new, beautifully designed and in a perfect location near the BTS skytrain system, so all of Sukhumvit is within reach which is a big bonus as Bangkok traffic has not gotten any better over the past years. We'll absolutely stay here again!"

 

Shangri-La Hotel Bangkok: "Hotel is in a good location besides the river. Very convenient to travel around using BTS train station(saphanThaksin) which is just across a small alley ( exit of Krungthep Wing) to different parts of Bangkok. Mbk and Paragon siam is just 5 or 6 stops away (thb30). Just besides the BTS station is the sathorn pier where you can take ferries going to Grand Palace and other attractions along the river."

 

Pathumwan Princess Hotel: "We've stayed at this hotel before and find it excellent. The location couldn't be better - most of the up market hotels are on the river but this one is in the heart of town and connected to the monorail system and also to a very large mall.  A beautiful hotel in a great location!"

 

Novotel Bangkok Fenix Ploenchit: "We stayed here for 3 nights and very satisfied with the hotel: good location - sky train station is 2 minutes away; friendly & supportive staff; excellent facilities such as fitness center, swimming pool, play ground for kids; especially the room is fully-furnushed with really comfortable bed, big bathroom; breakfast is diversed with both western & asian food. We definitely stay here for our coming trip. We would recommend this hotel to who are looking for a convenient, safe and modern place to stay!"

 

Centre Point Silom: "This hotel is fantastic on many levels: great location, great facilities, great rooms, very good service and close (walking distance) from the river boat terminal and Skytrain station. I would highly recommend this place for both a family stay or business trip in Bangkok."

 

Baan K Managed By Bliston: " The apartment was very well appointed with all the modern amenities. The location is fairly central, and a 10 minute walk the skytrain/mtr, 15 min walk to patpong night market. The staff tried their best to be friendly and helpful, despite some language barrier issues. The only con was the lack of a swimming pool. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would stay there again."

 

The Heritage Bangkok: "We used this hotel as a base to explore Bangkok and in that respect it was very good as it is within easy walking distance of the sky train. There were also a number of small restaurants nearby for evening meals. Convenience shop just around the corner and food hawkers in the early evening were handy for cheap drinks and snacks.The breakfast selection was very good and the staff were friendly."
