Try Honey Hotel soi 19 sukhumvit road a home from home, small pool, around 850-1200. also The somerset Hotel soi 11 i think, good buffet breakfast
around 1500B,
if you want to push the boat out try Landmark 7000B club floor best buffet breaky any where plus 2 hour free drinks in club lounge every day. Enjoy.

I know a lot of folks do not like it but the Ambassador hotel is nice if you stay in the tower above the 19 floor. I think their breakfast is pretty good.

Another is the Presidents hotel on Soi 11. Do not stay in the tower 3 but 1 and 2 are great and breakfast is very good.

Both are very close to Skytrain which is a priority to me.

I agree BP... I haven't tried the Ambassador, but I 've heard good said about it from a friend in Bkk, can second your recommendation for Presidents.. here's a link

and as you say... Skytrain a big plus

A friend who has just flown in and is not a fussy chap stayed at a hotel near the first bridge on Sukhumwit for 480 Baht.Rooms are tiny but clean and right in the middle of the action.I will endeavor to get the name today.

Hi tenbyboy,
Cheapest suite at Presidents is 3400/night, booked online....
well, you did ask for a "good" hotel
Ambassador starts around 1400 baht/night... I think?!
also, "Manhatton" may be worth a look and is same money as Ambassador.

If you have a Thai friend have them call the Grand President and usually the rate drops. Even if you call direct the price drops. Just mention you will be staying at Ambassador and that ususally helps.

Luck to you!!!!!!

A buddy stays at the President Solitaire on his trips to Bangkok, highly recommends it and also, as BP mentioned, says the room price can be negotiated. Mrs polehawk and I will be roosting here for a few days on our next trip.

Nana Hotel? It's OK if you're a single guy who wants close proximity to NEP, I suppose. My impressions were it looked like the walls hadn't seen a paint brush since the place was built some forty years ago. Room assigned had a strong smell of urine so we were moved to another one. The next morning we were outta there anyway. Just my opinion, of course. Don't sue me.

Majestetic suites is very nice. starts from 1250 bath. No pool, but nice rooms.
